Mind over matter

[lucky21]

Hi All
I was just watching a show on discovery channel about mind control of machines, they point to a study carried out over 18yrs by princeton uni where volunters with no apparent para normal abilities are asked to perform tests on random event and random number generators.

It was found that some people could influence these machines to a degree greater than chance.

Does anyone have any experience with this, I dont think I can do it but just thought it make for conversation,

hang on folks dont all think at once i can only listen to one mind at a time

i've found that it takes at least 3 beers to begin to have any influence over the RNGs. English Harbor programmers have also been said to have an uncanny ability to influence the machines.

incidentally, there is a website that actually sells hypnosis programs to improve your gambling luck. i've tried some of their free downloads as I have an interest in hypnosis, but I just can't bring myself to pay $25 for a gambling hypnosis program.

You might be able to control the results if the RNG came from your computer.
But being a couple hundred miles away, I doubt your power of influence could get there.

Sounds interesting. I'm sceptical of things like this, but I'd be interested to know as someone who watched the programme Luck21 whether or not the information they put forward you felt was conclusive or at least worthy of consideration?

Cheers

yeah Simmo,
I think its worth consideration, there have been lots of studies over the years the ones i have seen all conclude that some people can change things beyond chance and it doesnt matter what the distance is.

If you google telekinesis you'll get a bunch of stuff there are heaps of sites that claim to be able to learn you the tricks as well as tests you can do yourself,

There is a theory in quantum physics that explains how it works( I'm not that brainy just seen the doco) and i would give it a mythbusters "plauseable"

Scientists have established that at the quantum level (very small) it appears that we do have the power to influence the path of particles just by looking for them. However, though this phenomenon has been observed they have no idea what could be causing it.

You probably won't belive me but so many times I will say "Oh come on, how about 4 scatters!" etc...and lo and behold they appear. Online or at Land Based Casinos. Strange but very true.

Next time ballysdb, try asking for 5 scatters.

I hope it does come true for you. Cos I know I'd be really wanting to see it happening to me

No matter what, I wish you good luck.

Wenn I play roulette, I try to visualize numbers and they come oft, but unfortunately always on the next spin of wheel, as I already gave up and bet on some other numbers. Sometimes and I am not kidding, wenn my bets are not more reversible, I suddenly have a 'brainstorm' and say to myself, damn, it comes 3 or 27 or whatever and the number comes!
Mayve I should develop my abilities further?
