[extropy-chat] Precognition on TV

Damien:
I suppose I might as well throw in a few
pointers. Look for Prof. Jessica Utts, [...]


By chance, did somebody try something
as ridicolous as the following?

A Mach-Zehnder interferometer
http://www.upscale.utoronto.ca/GeneralInterest/Harrison/MachZehnder/MachZehn
der.html
and, inside, into the interferometer,
the head of some ESP active subject?

The head of the subject may be
shielded, ie to test Bohm-Aharonov
effects ;-) (ie using electrons,
and not photons).

Of course it would be interesting
if the subject would destroy (even partially)
the usual interference (ie changing the phase
of the amplitude in one wing, and not
in the other).

There are many possible improvements :-)
like testing the second order interference
(with entangled photons, one going up
the other going left); or using
a double M-Z interferometer; or a Franson
interferometer; etc.

Bah, it seems a stupidity, 'una baggianata'.
