1 00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:02,899 big introduction so I'll just say Dean 2 00:00:18,109 --> 00:00:13,920 Radin thank you okay expanding the scope 3 00:00:21,140 --> 00:00:18,119 of my matter interaction experiments are 4 00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:21,150 I'm in charge of a project at ions or 5 00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:23,519 Institute of noetic Sciences that we 6 00:00:28,009 --> 00:00:25,350 call ions X and the idea of it is to 7 00:00:31,370 --> 00:00:28,019 have the man think like that and then 8 00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:31,380 have something happen like that so it's 9 00:00:36,260 --> 00:00:33,920 the equivalent of a psychic switch 10 00:00:38,959 --> 00:00:36,270 probably not to create a psychic arise 11 00:00:41,869 --> 00:00:38,969 door opener but something like that and 12 00:00:43,490 --> 00:00:41,879 it's it's a useful application where we 13 00:00:44,779 --> 00:00:43,500 don't know if we can actually do that or 14 00:00:46,430 --> 00:00:44,789 not but along the way we're going to 15 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:46,440 have to learn a lot to pull together 16 00:00:51,170 --> 00:00:48,410 everything that we already know about 17 00:00:55,369 --> 00:00:51,180 psychokinetic effects so this is sort of 18 00:00:57,229 --> 00:00:55,379 a PKA Concilium we use the acronym atom 19 00:01:00,799 --> 00:00:57,239 which makes sense given that whereas 20 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:00,809 ions and atom stands for analyses 21 00:01:09,219 --> 00:01:05,250 targets operators and moderators so on 22 00:01:11,660 --> 00:01:09,229 the analysis side we're talking about 23 00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:11,670 besides things simple things like shift 24 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:13,350 of the mean and shift of variance and so 25 00:01:17,539 --> 00:01:15,810 on we're looking at analytical methods 26 00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:17,549 like fractal dimensions chaotic 27 00:01:24,020 --> 00:01:19,590 attractors machine learning causal 28 00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:24,030 analysis and so on for targets which is 29 00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:25,740 what I'll primarily be talking about 30 00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:28,880 we're talking about photon interference 31 00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:31,790 polarization scattering or absorption 32 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:34,799 photon entanglement photoelectric high 33 00:01:41,929 --> 00:01:38,210 voltage plasma and a few other things 34 00:01:44,410 --> 00:01:41,939 for operators we're talking about the 35 00:01:47,810 --> 00:01:44,420 obvious things like personality belief 36 00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:47,820 talent motivation and most recently 37 00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:50,399 genetics so to say a little bit more 38 00:01:55,219 --> 00:01:52,680 about genetics so we have a program that 39 00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:55,229 we call SCI genes and if you remember 40 00:01:58,819 --> 00:01:56,640 this book this is written by the 41 00:02:01,280 --> 00:01:58,829 journalist Andy Jacobson came out I 42 00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:01,290 think two years ago this talks about the 43 00:02:04,670 --> 00:02:03,329 secret history of the US government's 44 00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:04,680 investigation into extrasensory 45 00:02:08,660 --> 00:02:07,439 perception and psychokinesis so for 46 00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:08,670 people who have been involved in this 47 00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:09,840 program 48 00:02:16,610 --> 00:02:13,680 that this is somewhat limited and in 49 00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:16,620 some cases distorted history so those of 50 00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:18,870 us in the program realized that she did 51 00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:20,520 as good as the journalist probably can 52 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:22,560 do but didn't get some of it right and 53 00:02:26,809 --> 00:02:25,410 some of its not quite right so the 54 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:26,819 interesting thing though is at the end 55 00:02:30,290 --> 00:02:28,410 of that book 56 00:02:32,509 --> 00:02:30,300 she's asking some of the people involved 57 00:02:34,580 --> 00:02:32,519 in other peripheral people well what's 58 00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:34,590 next and one of the things that she's 59 00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:38,670 talking about is about a an anomaly 60 00:02:44,090 --> 00:02:41,510 found in the brain of people who have 61 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:44,100 extraordinary experiences including 62 00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:47,010 highly talented remote viewers so what 63 00:02:52,699 --> 00:02:49,260 you're looking at here is a picture of a 64 00:02:54,860 --> 00:02:52,709 more or less normal MRI where the the 65 00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:54,870 slices horizontally through the head 66 00:03:01,100 --> 00:02:59,250 right in the middle and so if this part 67 00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:01,110 of the brain is called a caudate this 68 00:03:06,830 --> 00:03:03,750 part is through potema n-- in between 69 00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:06,840 that spot something strange was noticed 70 00:03:12,770 --> 00:03:09,510 for people who report alien abductions 71 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:12,780 seeing telepathic speaking orbs having 72 00:03:19,310 --> 00:03:14,730 extremely good remote viewing ability 73 00:03:21,229 --> 00:03:19,320 and so on the this portion of the brain 74 00:03:23,330 --> 00:03:21,239 which sits upon the basal ganglia it's 75 00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:23,340 an old part of the brain it can be 76 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:25,049 thought of as an intuitive processing 77 00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:26,970 center in the sense that when you have 78 00:03:31,069 --> 00:03:28,769 all of the sensory input coming into 79 00:03:33,170 --> 00:03:31,079 your body a very limited amount of that 80 00:03:35,150 --> 00:03:33,180 a small fraction makes it to conscious 81 00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:35,160 awareness and the portion of the brain 82 00:03:39,229 --> 00:03:37,260 that in a sense is making the decisions 83 00:03:42,349 --> 00:03:39,239 about what gets sent to the frontal 84 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:42,359 lobes is happening in this region so 85 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:46,530 this is a normal brain and this is the 86 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:48,930 brain of people like highly talented 87 00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:52,010 remote viewers so natural remote viewers 88 00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:54,209 oftentimes coming from families where 89 00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:55,560 there other people have extraordinary 90 00:04:01,430 --> 00:03:59,040 ability which immediately suggests that 91 00:04:03,349 --> 00:04:01,440 there's probably a genetic component to 92 00:04:06,259 --> 00:04:03,359 it so what you're seeing here on the 93 00:04:08,539 --> 00:04:06,269 left is not a lesion for one thing it's 94 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:08,549 bilateral or the other thing is that 95 00:04:12,170 --> 00:04:10,170 they're about a hundred and fifty known 96 00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:12,180 cases that have this structure in the 97 00:04:15,289 --> 00:04:14,160 brain so what you're seeing here that 98 00:04:17,649 --> 00:04:15,299 looks a little bit like a venetian blind 99 00:04:21,050 --> 00:04:17,659 is actually very high-density 100 00:04:22,170 --> 00:04:21,060 fibers tracts so there's a connection 101 00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:22,180 here that in a normal 102 00:04:28,379 --> 00:04:26,800 person just doesn't exist so if you want 103 00:04:30,570 --> 00:04:28,389 to find out more about this go to 104 00:04:33,810 --> 00:04:30,580 youtube look up the DNA of the strange 105 00:04:35,730 --> 00:04:33,820 and dr. Gary Nolan is a genetics 106 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:35,740 professor at Stanford who's the one who 107 00:04:40,140 --> 00:04:38,080 is looking into this there are several 108 00:04:43,230 --> 00:04:40,150 others as well so I'm part of that 109 00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:43,240 program and so what we're doing is a 110 00:04:48,330 --> 00:04:45,729 program we call SCI genes and we're 111 00:04:50,430 --> 00:04:48,340 looking for the genetics of psychic 112 00:04:52,409 --> 00:04:50,440 people who come from psychic families 113 00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:52,419 because there's a lot of lore about this 114 00:04:57,870 --> 00:04:55,180 sort of thing so we we surveyed 3,500 115 00:05:00,659 --> 00:04:57,880 candidates around the world we kept 116 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:00,669 sifting down to make sure that just 117 00:05:05,129 --> 00:05:02,130 because they said they were psychic 118 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:05,139 maybe they were psychotic so we had to 119 00:05:08,490 --> 00:05:07,210 we had to sift through many many hurdles 120 00:05:10,650 --> 00:05:08,500 here to make sure that they're really 121 00:05:12,689 --> 00:05:10,660 psychic they're well grounded they 122 00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:12,699 actually have ability that come from 123 00:05:19,409 --> 00:05:14,860 families with other psychics and so on 124 00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:19,419 so we ended up with 13 finalists so part 125 00:05:22,529 --> 00:05:21,070 of the reason for getting the difficulty 126 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:22,539 of this is because we told people that 127 00:05:26,850 --> 00:05:24,250 eventually we're going to get your DNA 128 00:05:28,260 --> 00:05:26,860 and sequence your full genome so we're 129 00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:28,270 going to know a lot about you at the 130 00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:29,860 genetic level and so a lot of people 131 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:31,449 said I don't think I want you to know 132 00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:34,330 that so we ended up with 13 finalists to 133 00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:37,120 get their full genomes and we found one 134 00:05:43,980 --> 00:05:40,750 gene on chromosome 7 which is associated 135 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:43,990 with brain function but it is an unknown 136 00:05:50,490 --> 00:05:48,490 variant so we're talking about x-men so 137 00:05:52,050 --> 00:05:50,500 an unknown variant on a gene means that 138 00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:52,060 we don't know the function of that 139 00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:53,830 particular form of the gene we don't 140 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:55,870 know what it what the epigenetics of it 141 00:06:00,540 --> 00:05:58,090 is we don't know what expresses we do 142 00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:00,550 know given this particular gene that it 143 00:06:05,129 --> 00:06:02,590 is directly involved in brain function 144 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:05,139 and also in the epigenetic expression of 145 00:06:07,409 --> 00:06:06,849 lots of other aspects of how the brain 146 00:06:10,050 --> 00:06:07,419 works 147 00:06:11,550 --> 00:06:10,060 so with this might be the gene that is 148 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:11,560 associated with that structure in the 149 00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:13,210 brain we don't know yet so this is an 150 00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:17,590 ongoing project so our moderators we're 151 00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:18,880 looking at things like set and setting 152 00:06:23,070 --> 00:06:21,070 lunar cycles solar cycle and so on all 153 00:06:25,170 --> 00:06:23,080 of those so the goal on this is to put 154 00:06:29,550 --> 00:06:25,180 them all together and figure out the 155 00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:29,560 optimal way of making piqué happen so 156 00:06:32,490 --> 00:06:31,270 I'm going to talk more about the targets 157 00:06:34,019 --> 00:06:32,500 that we've been looking at if you look 158 00:06:34,470 --> 00:06:34,029 in the literature you find that the vast 159 00:06:37,170 --> 00:06:34,480 majority 160 00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:37,180 studies looking at PK is on the throwing 161 00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:39,910 of dice roughly 50 years of that and 162 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:42,400 random number generators also about 50 163 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:44,530 years worth of experiments in both cases 164 00:06:51,690 --> 00:06:49,810 hundreds of published experiments of 165 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:51,700 course many many other things have been 166 00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:53,770 tried at the pair lab in particular you 167 00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:55,750 find the bouncing plastic balls and the 168 00:06:59,820 --> 00:06:57,520 water turbulence and so on lots of 169 00:07:03,900 --> 00:06:59,830 different target systems have been 170 00:07:06,030 --> 00:07:03,910 studied for a PK also in living systems 171 00:07:07,650 --> 00:07:06,040 almost every living system you can think 172 00:07:11,610 --> 00:07:07,660 of has been at one time or another a 173 00:07:14,130 --> 00:07:11,620 target of psychokinetic influence so the 174 00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:14,140 interesting thing is that virtually all 175 00:07:18,930 --> 00:07:16,780 of these show some effect the effects 176 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:18,940 are usually statistically significant 177 00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:21,970 like right at the cusp of 0.05 sometimes 178 00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:25,120 stronger and it which makes you start to 179 00:07:29,730 --> 00:07:28,000 wonder well what is actually going on or 180 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:29,740 all of these systems basically random 181 00:07:33,750 --> 00:07:31,330 number generators and we're somehow 182 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:33,760 manipulating it in some way or oh we 183 00:07:41,820 --> 00:07:37,690 don't know so we're looking at new 184 00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:41,830 sensors that haven't been tested before 185 00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:44,140 some of them we have been tested but 186 00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:45,310 we're using slightly different 187 00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:47,590 variations on it so I've been focusing 188 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:49,750 primarily in the last 10 years or so on 189 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:53,250 photons mainly with wave interference 190 00:07:58,860 --> 00:07:55,210 polarization absorption or scattering 191 00:08:03,600 --> 00:07:58,870 and entanglement and also photoelectric 192 00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:03,610 plasma also we have a new form of random 193 00:08:07,410 --> 00:08:05,320 number generator where we're recording 194 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:07,420 the quantum noise directly rather than 195 00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:09,610 turning it into bits to see if the noise 196 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:11,950 is being modulated short-story is yes 197 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:13,210 but I'm not going to talk about that 198 00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:17,530 today so the photon wave interference is 199 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:19,500 all is based on the the observer effect 200 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:24,490 if you are looking at a photon you in a 201 00:08:28,860 --> 00:08:26,770 sense localize it in space-time becomes 202 00:08:32,420 --> 00:08:28,870 like a particle if you're not looking it 203 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:32,430 seems to be spread out in space-time so 204 00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:34,930 I've been using double slit systems to 205 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:36,910 look at this because it's convenient so 206 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:41,169 here comes a laser beam laser beam goes 207 00:08:45,380 --> 00:08:43,330 through the the two slits and if the two 208 00:08:48,620 --> 00:08:45,390 slits are such a 209 00:08:51,260 --> 00:08:48,630 and the the the beam is set up in the 210 00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:51,270 right way the light coming out in phase 211 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:55,200 will together combine and create a light 212 00:08:59,150 --> 00:08:57,330 spot so the reason why you get light and 213 00:09:00,650 --> 00:08:59,160 dark bands here is because sometimes the 214 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:00,660 beams are in phase and sometimes they're 215 00:09:05,870 --> 00:09:03,090 out of phase so there's the in phase 216 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:05,880 here's a very very slight phase shift 217 00:09:10,820 --> 00:09:08,490 and you will get a dark spot so what we 218 00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:10,830 do in our experiment is put as use a 219 00:09:15,140 --> 00:09:12,720 double slit system but then put a single 220 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:15,150 slit at the very end of that to choose a 221 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:18,090 dark spot and so the task now is if you 222 00:09:23,330 --> 00:09:21,210 can introduce a small phase shift to the 223 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:23,340 beam that you would turn it into a light 224 00:09:29,870 --> 00:09:26,010 spot so the task is very simple make 225 00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:29,880 more light happen so that's where we're 226 00:09:35,570 --> 00:09:31,920 looking at that dark spot so there I am 227 00:09:37,550 --> 00:09:35,580 looking down the tube and this is it 228 00:09:39,740 --> 00:09:37,560 from the side and this is the camera we 229 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:39,750 just take a camera looking at what 230 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:41,730 amounts to a dark spot on the 231 00:09:46,130 --> 00:09:44,730 interference pattern this thing all 232 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:46,140 together well the equipment and stuff 233 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:48,570 cost maybe ten thousand dollars and 234 00:09:52,370 --> 00:09:50,010 would and the reason I mentioned that 235 00:09:55,970 --> 00:09:52,380 I'll mention later why the the cost of 236 00:09:58,970 --> 00:09:55,980 this is an issue so the other thing 237 00:10:00,110 --> 00:09:58,980 there this is now the 19th experiment 238 00:10:03,140 --> 00:10:00,120 that we've done using a double slit 239 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:03,150 system one of the issues about any use 240 00:10:06,950 --> 00:10:05,010 of a random system is that maybe we're 241 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:06,960 taking advantage of random fluctuations 242 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:09,210 like a random walk and we just happen to 243 00:10:12,770 --> 00:10:10,770 do the experiment at a time when it's 244 00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:12,780 walking in the direction that we want so 245 00:10:17,540 --> 00:10:14,880 what I'm interested in here is is this 246 00:10:19,610 --> 00:10:17,550 actually causal as little as looking at 247 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:19,620 the system making something happen in it 248 00:10:23,210 --> 00:10:21,090 and it's an extremely important question 249 00:10:25,340 --> 00:10:23,220 especially when it comes to something 250 00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:25,350 like healing because if Healing turns 251 00:10:29,810 --> 00:10:27,600 out to be fortuitous guessing of the 252 00:10:31,310 --> 00:10:29,820 time to try to heal somebody then 253 00:10:33,830 --> 00:10:31,320 nothing's happening in the person 254 00:10:35,510 --> 00:10:33,840 whereas if you're trying to do something 255 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:35,520 and they actually change that has to be 256 00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:37,890 causal so is this it's a double set 257 00:10:41,630 --> 00:10:39,750 system of causal method it's the 258 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:41,640 illumination modulated according to the 259 00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:44,730 assigned instructions so here's the 260 00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:46,740 typical protocol we use concentrate 261 00:10:50,990 --> 00:10:49,260 relaxed concentrate relax between these 262 00:10:53,780 --> 00:10:51,000 two epochs we usually have a little 263 00:10:55,820 --> 00:10:53,790 random time between typically one and 264 00:10:58,790 --> 00:10:55,830 five seconds so we don't want to 265 00:11:01,519 --> 00:10:58,800 accidentally run into a 30 second 30 266 00:11:02,389 --> 00:11:01,529 second cycle and we split it up by 267 00:11:05,150 --> 00:11:02,399 having a little bit of randomness 268 00:11:07,310 --> 00:11:05,160 between and now we're looking at 269 00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,320 illumination and if the illumination 270 00:11:11,150 --> 00:11:09,600 follows the instructions more light when 271 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:11,160 you're concentrating less light when 272 00:11:15,740 --> 00:11:12,810 you're not concentrating and that 273 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:15,750 persists that's a way of thinking well 274 00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:17,850 it looks like it's causal it wasn't just 275 00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:18,769 an accident 276 00:11:24,139 --> 00:11:21,420 so we do a very simple thing we look at 277 00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:24,149 each epic pair and we simply say is 278 00:11:29,420 --> 00:11:26,000 there more light in the concentrate 279 00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:29,430 period than in the relax period so we 280 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:31,680 end up a whole bunch of these pairs that 281 00:11:37,490 --> 00:11:35,130 we look at and so this is the result of 282 00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:37,500 of an experiment using this new double 283 00:11:42,230 --> 00:11:39,600 set system this is now taking the 284 00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:42,240 proportion of pairs in the correct 285 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:44,670 direction by chance it would be 50% in 286 00:11:49,610 --> 00:11:47,610 one direction and 50% in the other zero 287 00:11:53,090 --> 00:11:49,620 on this point is where the instruction 288 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:53,100 happens so as you see here there's 289 00:12:01,759 --> 00:11:58,170 there's the instruction we had 495 epoch 290 00:12:03,530 --> 00:12:01,769 pairs in this experiment it involved 15 291 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:03,540 different people doing many repeated 292 00:12:07,610 --> 00:12:05,970 trials and then the control is running 293 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:07,620 the same thing all by itself in this 294 00:12:12,829 --> 00:12:09,930 case we ran it for 15,000 Epoque pairs 295 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:12,839 so you can see at a glance that sure 296 00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:14,970 enough there is an increase that's just 297 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:18,240 on the cusp of a significant increase at 298 00:12:23,180 --> 00:12:19,770 the time when the instruction is given 299 00:12:25,550 --> 00:12:23,190 so kind of looks like yeah it's heading 300 00:12:28,340 --> 00:12:25,560 in the direction of a causal effect it's 301 00:12:29,930 --> 00:12:28,350 pretty small but nevertheless it's it's 302 00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:29,940 in that direction 303 00:12:34,519 --> 00:12:32,220 what is the reason why we have lag we 304 00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:34,529 have a minus and positive lag here 305 00:12:39,019 --> 00:12:36,600 because they want to see how the effect 306 00:12:40,850 --> 00:12:39,029 of the light is changing before the 307 00:12:42,650 --> 00:12:40,860 instruction and after the instruction to 308 00:12:46,189 --> 00:12:42,660 give a like a temporal snapshot of 309 00:12:47,389 --> 00:12:46,199 what's happening so it looks like it 310 00:12:49,730 --> 00:12:47,399 might maybe this wave interference 311 00:12:51,050 --> 00:12:49,740 effect is causal so that's good 312 00:12:54,139 --> 00:12:51,060 especially for healers 313 00:12:56,930 --> 00:12:54,149 okay so polarized photons so there's 314 00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:56,940 this thing called the Faraday effect you 315 00:13:02,269 --> 00:12:59,519 know we all know that electromagnetic 316 00:13:03,740 --> 00:13:02,279 signals has the word magnetic in it and 317 00:13:05,329 --> 00:13:03,750 we all know that if you take two magnets 318 00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:05,339 they'll either attract each other or 319 00:13:09,470 --> 00:13:07,649 repel so if you took an electromagnetic 320 00:13:11,210 --> 00:13:09,480 thing like a piece of light and you put 321 00:13:12,350 --> 00:13:11,220 a magnet next to it you would expect it 322 00:13:14,030 --> 00:13:12,360 to do something 323 00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:14,040 well it turns out that you can it does 324 00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:15,510 do something it's called the Faraday 325 00:13:19,540 --> 00:13:17,519 effect so the way you'd look at this in 326 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:19,550 the lab is you you measure the 327 00:13:23,540 --> 00:13:22,170 polarization of the electric field you 328 00:13:25,009 --> 00:13:23,550 put it make it go through a strong 329 00:13:27,319 --> 00:13:25,019 magnetic field and sure enough you can 330 00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:27,329 create a twist so that's changing the 331 00:13:31,130 --> 00:13:29,279 polarization as a result of a magnetic 332 00:13:33,769 --> 00:13:31,140 field so we're going to do the 333 00:13:36,019 --> 00:13:33,779 equivalent now by making the mind the 334 00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:36,029 like a magnetic field and see if we can 335 00:13:41,930 --> 00:13:39,570 twist the polarization so here's the 336 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:41,940 apparatus that we use so we have a laser 337 00:13:47,269 --> 00:13:44,250 shoot through a half-silvered mirror and 338 00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:47,279 go directly into a camera the bounce 339 00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:49,380 goes to a mirror which goes first 340 00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:51,570 through a vertical polarizer and then to 341 00:13:56,569 --> 00:13:54,240 a horizontal polarizer then that's 342 00:13:57,980 --> 00:13:56,579 bounced and that also goes to the camera 343 00:14:00,019 --> 00:13:57,990 so we have three signals that were 344 00:14:02,540 --> 00:14:00,029 measuring here one is straight through 345 00:14:04,850 --> 00:14:02,550 that we used as a standard measure of 346 00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:04,860 the power output of the laser the one 347 00:14:08,660 --> 00:14:06,510 going through the cross polarisers 348 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:08,670 because they're crossed should end up 349 00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:10,410 with nothing when you get through the 350 00:14:13,730 --> 00:14:12,000 second polarizer and the one in the 351 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:13,740 middle is seeing what kind of light 352 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:15,450 there is before it goes through the 353 00:14:19,850 --> 00:14:18,810 second polarizer so the question is well 354 00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:19,860 what's happening here 355 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:22,320 so we predict in advance that there if 356 00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:25,170 you could mentally twist if this is the 357 00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:27,600 target and you can twist it and the task 358 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:29,880 actually is to grab on to this beam with 359 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:32,399 your mind and twist it a little bit 360 00:14:36,740 --> 00:14:33,930 in which case more light would come out 361 00:14:38,810 --> 00:14:36,750 that was the idea so we did this with 362 00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:38,820 two different apparatus that we did that 363 00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:41,519 one and then a more sophisticated one 364 00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:42,959 where we had a temperature controller 365 00:14:47,420 --> 00:14:45,750 inside the box because anybody working 366 00:14:48,980 --> 00:14:47,430 with optical systems knows that they're 367 00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:48,990 extremely sensitive to temperature and 368 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:51,300 so we wanted to make sure that it was as 369 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:54,930 stable as we could possibly get so 370 00:15:00,860 --> 00:14:56,250 here's what the apparatus looks like 371 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:00,870 there's the beam so we have a standard 372 00:15:06,590 --> 00:15:03,690 being measuring the power polarized beam 373 00:15:08,829 --> 00:15:06,600 and what we call the bounce beam so 374 00:15:11,389 --> 00:15:08,839 they're my offices we twist the beam 375 00:15:13,370 --> 00:15:11,399 between the cross polarisers and that 376 00:15:16,490 --> 00:15:13,380 should increase the output of the second 377 00:15:18,530 --> 00:15:16,500 protocol is very similar as we saw 378 00:15:22,579 --> 00:15:18,540 before you twist the beam relax twist 379 00:15:25,230 --> 00:15:22,589 relax and so on each case was twenty 380 00:15:29,740 --> 00:15:25,240 seconds and this is the result 381 00:15:32,259 --> 00:15:29,750 so we we see a decline a significant 382 00:15:35,230 --> 00:15:32,269 decline in the illumination level in 383 00:15:38,139 --> 00:15:35,240 both the bounced beam and the polarized 384 00:15:39,970 --> 00:15:38,149 beam this is not what we predicted so 385 00:15:43,569 --> 00:15:39,980 the second experiment we got exam the 386 00:15:46,990 --> 00:15:43,579 same result so we the photons went away 387 00:15:49,059 --> 00:15:47,000 as a result of the experiment so we had 388 00:15:50,170 --> 00:15:49,069 to do another experiment where we're 389 00:15:53,170 --> 00:15:50,180 asking where what happened to the 390 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:53,180 photons so this is the missing photons 391 00:15:59,740 --> 00:15:57,290 experiment in this case here's Lauren 392 00:16:02,230 --> 00:15:59,750 carpenter building the apparatus here's 393 00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:02,240 another shot of it and the way it works 394 00:16:07,780 --> 00:16:04,160 is this so we have a laser at the bottom 395 00:16:11,829 --> 00:16:07,790 it gets shot straight up through a metal 396 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:11,839 sphere and then up to a camera and when 397 00:16:14,949 --> 00:16:13,370 somebody's asked to concentrate they're 398 00:16:18,249 --> 00:16:14,959 asked to put their mind inside the 399 00:16:19,540 --> 00:16:18,259 sphere and to block the beam so in the 400 00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:19,550 sphere it's painted with a highly 401 00:16:23,769 --> 00:16:21,649 reflective surface so that if the beam 402 00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:23,779 is in fact scattered it will bounce 403 00:16:29,050 --> 00:16:25,759 around inside the sphere and end up at 404 00:16:30,340 --> 00:16:29,060 this detector on the side and then when 405 00:16:31,750 --> 00:16:30,350 they don't when they relaxed it would 406 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:31,760 presumably be allowed to go straight 407 00:16:38,379 --> 00:16:35,930 through again so the prediction is a 408 00:16:39,699 --> 00:16:38,389 negative correlation a decrease and the 409 00:16:41,379 --> 00:16:39,709 straight through illumination and 410 00:16:43,629 --> 00:16:41,389 increase in the scattered illumination 411 00:16:44,860 --> 00:16:43,639 when they're concentrating and when 412 00:16:47,079 --> 00:16:44,870 they're not concentrating and no 413 00:16:49,210 --> 00:16:47,089 correlation so this is the result 414 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:49,220 negative correlation is predicted quite 415 00:16:53,829 --> 00:16:51,170 a strong result you're very happy with 416 00:16:57,220 --> 00:16:53,839 that when they're relaxing no 417 00:17:00,540 --> 00:16:57,230 correlation so that was good and then 418 00:17:02,530 --> 00:17:00,550 under control conditions no effect 419 00:17:04,199 --> 00:17:02,540 unfortunately the illumination levels 420 00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:04,209 were opposite to what we predicted 421 00:17:08,409 --> 00:17:05,809 during this straight through 422 00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:08,419 illumination they went up and the 423 00:17:13,780 --> 00:17:11,540 scattered went down so we don't know 424 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:13,790 what's going on so that brings us to 425 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:16,089 that 426 00:17:22,419 --> 00:17:19,490 so this is actually quite good because 427 00:17:24,220 --> 00:17:22,429 it means that we're getting interesting 428 00:17:26,199 --> 00:17:24,230 results which are not according to our 429 00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:26,209 expectation and part of the the 430 00:17:29,649 --> 00:17:28,130 difficulty in all of these experiments 431 00:17:30,009 --> 00:17:29,659 is sometimes you just get whatever you 432 00:17:32,889 --> 00:17:30,019 want 433 00:17:34,539 --> 00:17:32,899 well we didn't in several cases now so 434 00:17:37,570 --> 00:17:34,549 it's telling us clues that could be 435 00:17:39,070 --> 00:17:37,580 important for our future work we have 436 00:17:42,759 --> 00:17:39,080 also done experiments with entangled 437 00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:42,769 photons so this apparatus I don't think 438 00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:44,809 I can do this in two minutes there's 439 00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:47,990 more than two minutes here okay so this 440 00:17:51,340 --> 00:17:50,000 is an apparatus that creates entangled 441 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:51,350 photons it's about a thousand two 442 00:17:54,850 --> 00:17:53,330 entangled photons per second I don't 443 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:54,860 have time to go through the details of 444 00:17:58,750 --> 00:17:56,690 how it works but it's using for those of 445 00:18:02,799 --> 00:17:58,760 you who know about the claws or hold 446 00:18:05,529 --> 00:18:02,809 Simoni and know the claws or CH SH 447 00:18:08,139 --> 00:18:05,539 method yeah so there's the the apparatus 448 00:18:09,490 --> 00:18:08,149 that costs forty thousand dollars but by 449 00:18:11,049 --> 00:18:09,500 the time you get everything together and 450 00:18:13,419 --> 00:18:11,059 we did a four experiments to see whether 451 00:18:16,090 --> 00:18:13,429 the mind can manipulate entanglement 452 00:18:17,620 --> 00:18:16,100 strength because an entangled photon get 453 00:18:19,419 --> 00:18:17,630 has different strengths to it so it 454 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:19,429 turns out that the answer is yes we can 455 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,250 mentally modulate entanglement to have 456 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:24,320 stronger correlation than not and other 457 00:18:30,639 --> 00:18:25,970 control conditions you don't see that 458 00:18:32,289 --> 00:18:30,649 so the fourth version of this oh so 459 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:32,299 there we have priestess entanglement 460 00:18:35,889 --> 00:18:34,490 strength we've done lots more on that 461 00:18:38,519 --> 00:18:35,899 experiment but again it's kind of 462 00:18:41,889 --> 00:18:38,529 complicated to describe so we're using 463 00:18:43,629 --> 00:18:41,899 photoelectric plasma here we're using a 464 00:18:47,950 --> 00:18:43,639 plasma ball everybody knows about these 465 00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:47,960 things it costs $40 so there's a plasma 466 00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:50,080 ball sitting in our our shielded room 467 00:18:55,269 --> 00:18:53,600 sitting in front of it is a webcam as 468 00:18:57,519 --> 00:18:55,279 you can see there on the left and on the 469 00:19:00,820 --> 00:18:57,529 right when we seal the whole thing into 470 00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:00,830 the shielded room and it's dark it's all 471 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:02,480 the only thing that the camera sees is 472 00:19:07,659 --> 00:19:05,570 though is the plasma ball and then what 473 00:19:11,169 --> 00:19:07,669 the webcam is seeing is shown on a graph 474 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:11,179 on the PC so in this experiment we have 475 00:19:15,129 --> 00:19:13,370 somebody use the ball in front of the PC 476 00:19:17,980 --> 00:19:15,139 as an effigy almost like a voodoo 477 00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:17,990 experiment where you do something to the 478 00:19:21,730 --> 00:19:20,000 effigy ball with the idea that it would 479 00:19:24,159 --> 00:19:21,740 create a similar effect in the ball on 480 00:19:26,830 --> 00:19:24,169 the inside so like we asked you to touch 481 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:26,840 the ball on the right side which would 482 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:28,370 pull the streamers to the 483 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:32,090 I and likewise we hope that that will 484 00:19:35,740 --> 00:19:34,250 cause a mimic on the ball on the inside 485 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:35,750 and cause the streamers to move to the 486 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:39,410 right so this is the result of the last 487 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:41,570 experiment we did aiming right versus 488 00:19:46,330 --> 00:19:43,730 not aiming at all the balls inside the 489 00:19:49,060 --> 00:19:46,340 sealed chamber it's 12 feet away 13 490 00:19:51,250 --> 00:19:49,070 subjects were involved 30 sessions with 491 00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:51,260 a matched control where nobody's trying 492 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:55,130 to do anything and you get that so the 493 00:19:58,840 --> 00:19:56,930 color here is showing you the 494 00:20:01,810 --> 00:19:58,850 illumination level and you can turn this 495 00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:01,820 now into a statistical evaluation which 496 00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:04,130 is shown on this one so each one of 497 00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:05,510 those little yellow bars is a 498 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:07,370 statistically significant difference as 499 00:20:11,530 --> 00:20:09,530 compared to the not trying to do 500 00:20:13,419 --> 00:20:11,540 anything to the ball so you can see the 501 00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:13,429 glance first of all two things one 502 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:15,110 you're trying to get it to move to the 503 00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:15,530 right 504 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:17,360 Chernov there's a lot more light to the 505 00:20:21,610 --> 00:20:19,970 right especially as compared to the 506 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:21,620 control condition where nobody's doing 507 00:20:28,180 --> 00:20:25,010 anything in addition there's way more of 508 00:20:30,820 --> 00:20:28,190 the cells in the in the experimental 509 00:20:33,790 --> 00:20:30,830 condition that we're significant so you 510 00:20:35,350 --> 00:20:33,800 can you can I won't bother to go through 511 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:35,360 the details there other than say that 512 00:20:38,919 --> 00:20:37,130 when you you have lots and lots of 513 00:20:42,730 --> 00:20:38,929 statistical tests like this you have to 514 00:20:45,630 --> 00:20:42,740 adjust it for for multiple tests and 515 00:20:50,410 --> 00:20:45,640 this the one on the left you still get 516 00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:50,420 59 remaining significant cells even 517 00:20:54,190 --> 00:20:52,370 after adjusting for the fact that you 518 00:20:56,049 --> 00:20:54,200 have lots and lots of repetition going 519 00:20:58,660 --> 00:20:56,059 on here another control condition you 520 00:21:01,540 --> 00:20:58,670 get none of them so there's definitely a 521 00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:01,550 something happening there and so the 522 00:21:06,990 --> 00:21:03,440 total experiment our expense here is 523 00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:07,000 about $100 fairly simple to do and 524 00:21:15,370 --> 00:21:11,840 yesterday someone showed me the where 525 00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:15,380 where are you the the yes so he created 526 00:21:20,470 --> 00:21:17,720 an iPhone app that will do this will do 527 00:21:22,210 --> 00:21:20,480 all of the the visual part of it so you 528 00:21:25,060 --> 00:21:22,220 don't even need a webcam it just set up 529 00:21:26,980 --> 00:21:25,070 an iPhone in front of it and that will 530 00:21:29,740 --> 00:21:26,990 do the experiment so I'll work with you 531 00:21:31,299 --> 00:21:29,750 to get to statistics and so on so then 532 00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:31,309 basically a hundred dollars plus two 533 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:37,169 so these are the this is what we're 534 00:21:41,430 --> 00:21:39,570 doing I think at this point the 535 00:21:44,279 --> 00:21:41,440 serendipitous finding that there's a 536 00:21:47,129 --> 00:21:44,289 genetic component here that to me is the 537 00:21:48,690 --> 00:21:47,139 most exciting thing so there's a number 538 00:21:50,039 --> 00:21:48,700 of pieces of jigsaw that are coming 539 00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:50,049 together now suggesting that there 540 00:21:55,139 --> 00:21:51,820 really is something related to the brain 541 00:21:57,690 --> 00:21:55,149 which enables people to be more talented 542 00:21:59,490 --> 00:21:57,700 at this than others that of course you 543 00:22:02,610 --> 00:21:59,500 can spin out into the possibility of 544 00:22:07,409 --> 00:22:02,620 genetic manipulation and so on to make 545 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:07,419 people highly psychic so sometimes 546 00:22:11,850 --> 00:22:10,450 people say Oh first of all I have to 547 00:22:14,399 --> 00:22:11,860 acknowledge that none of this would 548 00:22:17,009 --> 00:22:14,409 happen without many people giving us 549 00:22:19,110 --> 00:22:17,019 funding the Biot foundation the Emerald 550 00:22:20,669 --> 00:22:19,120 Gate Charitable Trust the Hitmen Family 551 00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:20,679 Foundation and John B Huntington 552 00:22:25,049 --> 00:22:22,809 foundation Steve Curtis with elevation 553 00:22:27,659 --> 00:22:25,059 capital clear winner with quantum 554 00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:27,669 gravity and dick and Connie Adams many 555 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:29,289 of you are out there who are the funders 556 00:22:35,879 --> 00:22:30,610 of this stuff thank you 557 00:22:38,549 --> 00:22:35,889 so people say nope people say Dean why 558 00:22:40,139 --> 00:22:38,559 are you interested in in psychokinesis 559 00:22:42,090 --> 00:22:40,149 and telekinesis and these sorts of 560 00:22:44,610 --> 00:22:42,100 things well the answer is part of the 561 00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:44,620 answer anyway is that I have nieces who 562 00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:47,110 are identical twins and so I've had the 563 00:22:50,789 --> 00:22:49,360 enjoyment over many years to watch them 564 00:22:53,340 --> 00:22:50,799 grow up and of course there's all this 565 00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:53,350 lore about indentical twins and so that 566 00:22:59,730 --> 00:22:55,679 was part of the sparking of the interest 567 00:23:05,019 --> 00:22:59,740 so because of my nieces of course 568 00:23:12,399 --> 00:23:10,419 but most of my family members are female 569 00:23:30,659 --> 00:23:12,409 and so I haven't had the chance to look 570 00:23:36,699 --> 00:23:34,179 thank you very much short question did 571 00:23:41,589 --> 00:23:36,709 you find any correlation with people 572 00:23:43,479 --> 00:23:41,599 with high levels of Neanderthal genes we 573 00:23:45,159 --> 00:23:43,489 have that we have their DNA so we can 574 00:23:49,959 --> 00:23:45,169 find out but I don't have an answer to 575 00:23:52,059 --> 00:23:49,969 that yet okay thanks so my comment to 576 00:23:54,969 --> 00:23:52,069 sort of equip but I actually mean it 577 00:23:56,969 --> 00:23:54,979 seriously and that is you had said that 578 00:24:00,039 --> 00:23:56,979 your results were not according to 579 00:24:01,389 --> 00:24:00,049 expectation and that was good so that 580 00:24:03,399 --> 00:24:01,399 means actually your results were 581 00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:03,409 according to desire because you said it 582 00:24:13,149 --> 00:24:09,049 was good and so the larger the larger 583 00:24:15,819 --> 00:24:13,159 point here is that really we just get 584 00:24:18,669 --> 00:24:15,829 whatever it is we want and to attribute 585 00:24:20,409 --> 00:24:18,679 a mechanism to it is so difficult I mean 586 00:24:22,749 --> 00:24:20,419 I I'll be talking about that in a few 587 00:24:24,669 --> 00:24:22,759 talks but do you have any insights as to 588 00:24:26,649 --> 00:24:24,679 how how do you get the mechanism out 589 00:24:29,409 --> 00:24:26,659 when everything just goes according to 590 00:24:31,389 --> 00:24:29,419 what you want right and it depends on 591 00:24:33,729 --> 00:24:31,399 what you want consciously versus 592 00:24:35,319 --> 00:24:33,739 unconsciously right definition we don't 593 00:24:37,749 --> 00:24:35,329 know what we want unconsciousness right 594 00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:37,759 i I think consciously I would prefer to 595 00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:39,769 think that I'm actually on track and I'm 596 00:24:43,539 --> 00:24:42,049 learning something in which case I make 597 00:24:45,549 --> 00:24:43,549 a prediction I would like to see that 598 00:24:47,099 --> 00:24:45,559 prediction because otherwise I have to 599 00:24:49,509 --> 00:24:47,109 keep publishing in this case 600 00:24:51,819 --> 00:24:49,519 experimental results I have no idea 601 00:24:54,909 --> 00:24:51,829 what's going on so that that makes me 602 00:24:57,350 --> 00:24:54,919 look stupid so maybe unconsciously 603 00:25:00,320 --> 00:24:57,360 that's what I want but I think 604 00:25:02,030 --> 00:25:00,330 I don't think so I would rather think 605 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:02,040 that it's like the I'm asking the 606 00:25:05,780 --> 00:25:03,570 universal question and the universe 607 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:05,790 gives me the correct answer and by 608 00:25:10,220 --> 00:25:07,530 getting a something opposite to what I 609 00:25:10,910 --> 00:25:10,230 was predicting because who knows what's 610 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:10,920 going on 611 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:13,290 I'll take that as oh okay well there's 612 00:25:20,530 --> 00:25:15,570 an interesting clue and I have to figure 613 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:23,390 just a couple of quick questions about 614 00:25:29,690 --> 00:25:26,330 small technical details on the 615 00:25:32,810 --> 00:25:29,700 interference experiment was the 616 00:25:34,910 --> 00:25:32,820 instruction to the operators to make a 617 00:25:37,220 --> 00:25:34,920 phase shift in one beam or was it simply 618 00:25:41,180 --> 00:25:37,230 to get more light to get more light and 619 00:25:44,330 --> 00:25:41,190 on the two plasma ball experiment is the 620 00:25:46,970 --> 00:25:44,340 effigy ball that the operator is working 621 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:46,980 with is is that active or is it turned 622 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:53,610 off I love experiments where you don't 623 00:26:00,920 --> 00:25:56,730 get what you think you plan and when 624 00:26:04,610 --> 00:26:00,930 that happens it's because the 625 00:26:07,670 --> 00:26:04,620 experimenters are different so I use 626 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:07,680 large numbers of experimenters and pull 627 00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:11,250 all the data I find that different 628 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:13,760 experimenters give different results so 629 00:26:20,060 --> 00:26:18,210 perhaps something to think about that 630 00:26:22,130 --> 00:26:20,070 that if you use it you know are you 631 00:26:23,810 --> 00:26:22,140 using pique people like if you use chi 632 00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:23,820 gong master would you get the same kind 633 00:26:27,740 --> 00:26:25,110 of effect that kind of question yeah 634 00:26:29,870 --> 00:26:27,750 yeah so I one thing I didn't mention in 635 00:26:32,060 --> 00:26:29,880 this is that I'm fortunate now in that I 636 00:26:33,950 --> 00:26:32,070 can design and analyze experiments but I 637 00:26:36,260 --> 00:26:33,960 don't need to run them so we have 638 00:26:37,820 --> 00:26:36,270 research assistants who actually are 639 00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:37,830 dealing with the humans involved in 640 00:26:42,590 --> 00:26:40,080 running the experiments so I can have 641 00:26:44,630 --> 00:26:42,600 many things happening at once and don't 642 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:44,640 have to actually take the time to deal 643 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:47,250 with the human so I'm decoupled from the 644 00:26:51,050 --> 00:26:49,410 experiment at least a little bit because 645 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:51,060 in the past I used to have to do 646 00:26:55,310 --> 00:26:53,250 everything I was involved in every 647 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:55,320 single stage so if I am involved in the 648 00:27:00,230 --> 00:26:57,450 experiment which unavoidably I'm 649 00:27:01,610 --> 00:27:00,240 entangled with it then presumably I'd be 650 00:27:03,350 --> 00:27:01,620 able to push it even more in the 651 00:27:05,270 --> 00:27:03,360 direction that they want so since I'm 652 00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:05,280 not at that entangled in these 653 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:07,470 experiments anymore maybe that's why I'm 654 00:27:10,030 --> 00:27:09,450 getting results that looks strange don't 655 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:10,040 know
