Psychokinesis

Yeah I will check the others out thanks

That would be cool Shirak!

I have noticed something odd I don't know what to call it whether it comes under retrokinesis or something.
Today I was trying to film outdoor stasis on my phone, but the wind was quite strong and I didn't effect the fan much.  But here's the odd part.  I could do it on my phone screen while it was recording the vid,  so when i tried to slow it down it would slow down on the screen and even reverse, but the real life fan at the same time would be going a continuous fast speed. When I watch the recorded film back there is no evidence of it.  The fan is just spinning fast continuously,   Its like maybe the outcome is undetermined while you are filming, but once you press stop its decided, and shows what was actually happening, sorry to waffle hope everyone knows what I am trying to say.

Some fun experiments to try here.

Your link in the other post was bad.  Is this the thread you meant?

 I mentioned to you that I tried the pendulum.  I did 4 attempts.  And I kept improving up until the last time I did it.  My z score (standard deviation)was 1.92 on my final attempt.  Anyways, my numbers were somewhat high.  But I think less than 100 (70 , 80, 90ish???)  if I remember correctly.  What number would a z score of 1.92 correlate with?

Anyways, I quit since I was concerned that another attempt could ruin my good results.  I need to stop being a perfectionist.  I was toying with the idea of trying again but my windows user also got trashed that night.  (First time ever since I got this computer some time ago, ) Which now makes me even more hesitant since I don't want that to happen again. 

Now what I am wondering is if I was doing it wrong?  I thought wildly banging off the sides was a good thing.  And a correlated higher standard deviation means you are outside the norm.  But in another post you said that a lower standard deviation (z score) was better.

Oh and here are their published results for the pendulum. 

Runs, Hit/tries, Zscore

That one was a 50 50 coin toss program Cavalorn made I had a lot of trouble trying to get it when I first started then with practice I was able to influence it better.

Have you tried these ones yet? http://www.fourmilab.ch/rpkp/experiments/
