Then how do you define "magical thinking"? Because I doubt you're either an occultist or a stage magician, so your view of the phrase is bound to be peculiar.
And, as I said, that's not a claim that psi abilities don't exist. Since such abilities cannot and have never been demonstrated to exist in any sort of laboratory conditions, believing that such abilities are "magical" is justified.
By that definition, black holes and neutrinos are magical

I disagree. The number of claimants does not determine the legitimacy of the claim or its worthiness of investigation. By the above standard the theory of relativity would not have been worthy of investigation.

This paper does not claim to be proof of these phenomena. It offers itself as, "a Possible Explanation of Psi Phenomena." A possible scientific basis for something does not constitute proof. To be proof it would have to offer compelling evidence that the hypothesized phenomena (alleged psychic phenomena in this case) are consistently, reproducibly, and verifiably described by the interaction discussed therein. It would also have to be peer reviewed, and found to be sound.
This is not proof, nor does it promote itself as proof. (That is not an assertion that these phenomena do not exist or happen.)edit on 4/13/2011 by AceWombat04 because: (no reason given)

This is interesting indeed i'm just a little skeptical (Not saying its impossible). I wonder what will come of this if it turns out to be true..
You know quantum Physics is weird who knows?
If anyone wants to check out my thread i made this morning its Here and i haven't got alot of replies yet if you wanna check it out! Its in the Space Forums here www.abovetopsecret.com...edit on 13-4-2011 by XRaDiiX because: (no reason given)

I think your right it all ties together, Thanks star and flag. I've seen the video and it helps even me to under stand other dimensions, I think if you watch the video you'll put the two things together also. I think if you think about it it also makes heaven more realistic.edit on 12-4-2011 by FarBeyondDriven69 because: (no reason given)

There is nothing scientific about this paper. In fact it is just theory with no empirical evidence to support the wild claims. Looks like just another crackpot with a typewriter and too much time on their hands too me. Then again I am a scienctist and would have shredded his paper and his reputation.
Your open-mindedness is the fuel which will propel us forward.

But the title of the thread states Scientific PROOF!
Please decide one way or another or just say in the title of the thread that this is someone's opinion.... may save time all around and stop you having to defend yourself.

Well like someone else has said, there is nothing proven with this yet but it's outside of my science spectrum for sure. However just because his mathematical equations may pan out does not mean his theory is valid or invalid. Mathematically it's impossible for a helicopter to fly or a human to run a mile in faster than 6 minutes yet it's done.
Until someone can actually do what the math is saying is possible it will still be open for debate. I hope it works though but that's what peer review is for. Have to leave this one up to the experts in this field as I certainly am not.
