Presentiment in the news.
Skeptic agrees that remote viewing is proven
Excerpt from a January 2008 item in the UK's The Daily Mail newspaper: In 1995, the US Congress asked two independent scientists to assess whether the $20 million that the government had spent on psychic research had produced anything of value. And the conclusions proved to be somewhat unexpected. Professor Jessica Utts, a statistician from the University of California, discovered that remote viewers were correct 34 per cent of the time, a figure way beyond what chance guessing would allow. She says: "Using the standards applied to any other area of science, you have to conclude that certain psychic phenomena, such as remote viewing, have been well established. "The results are not due to chance or flaws in the experiments." Of course, this doesn't wash with sceptical scientists. Professor Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire, refuses to believe in remote viewing. He says: "I agree that by the standards of any other area ...

You once mentioned to me that various laboratories were trying to pluck up courage to publish successful repetitions of your experiment - I guess this is it.
The presentiment phenomenon has always appealed to me because it is the nearest thing to a reliably repeatable PSI experiment that there is.
It should rise some eyebrows.
OOOOH did anyone catch the report that richard wiseman did an experiment that showed psi in a replication of a sheldrake experiment.
Do the mean the Jaytee experiments a while back or some other more recent experiment? I know that very recently, Rupert Sheldrake and Chris French are conducting a collaborative replication on telephone telepathy. Is that the one you mean?
What are your thoughts on the Akashic Records? Would be great to read something from you regarding this subject.

On your RNG experiments, I had an idea. If youre still looking for an event that would perhaps be similar in scope to 9-11 for studying, it would be "Norooz", the Persian New Year. It is celebrated by Central Asian states, and it takes place at an exact specified time every year (the precise time of the vernal equinox). At the very moment of the VE, I would not be exaggerating if I said that millions would be tuned into a collective field. I think it's worth looking into.
Someday, if and when I finish my PhD, I'll pick up the research that Biermann abd Libet were doing. I think there's a lot to be learned from functional imaging.
