Experiment 2

Psi Experiment 2 is closed. Results will be published soon.

Continue to Psi Experiment 3.

In this second Psi Experiment I'm going to try and eliminate several of the experiment design problems with the first one. The new experiment will use randomness to disable position preference and eliminate color preferences. So, what's in the second experiment?

I've preselected 4 black and white photographs, which are different enough but none of them is too different from the others. This is to try and eliminate personal subjective preferences, even though I don't believe it's entirely fool-proof.

Next, I randomly chosen one of the 4 photographs. The random number was selected using the following web site: http://www.random.org. Random.org offers true random numbers. To learn more visit the site.

Below you're going to be presented the four photographs. Note, that the order in which you're going to see them is also random using the above web-site's service to generate random permutations. Clicking on the images below will take you to larger versions of the same images.



You're asked to use any of possible mind power methods to select the pre-selected photograph. I decided not to select the target photograph each time by computer since I've also done the following:

The photograph which was randomly selected out of the four, was put in a sealed envelope. The photograph of the sealed envelope with the selected target photo inside is below:

So, once again, how can you answer the experiments question? There are several ways that I can offer you:

  • Remote Viewing - this might not be for all since it requires to learn remote viewing first. But for all those who are familiar with some kind of remote viewing technique, please take the time to do it. Write in notes, which technique of RV you have used. To those wanting to learn more about Remote Viewing, I can refer to the following article on the main website: Learn Remote Viewing for Free. The target random numbers for the selected photograph are 3396-1625 and they are written on the its back.
  • Visualization - this is another popular method. Close your eyes, enter a relaxed state of mind and asks yourself to "see" what's on the photograph. Then try to compare what you saw with the four images and select the one most closely resembling what you saw.
  • Dowsing or finger scanning - use your fingers to glide over the photographs, asking yourself over each one if it's the photograph in the envelope. Select the photograph where you've got different response (feeling on your finger) from the other 3. You can also ask a pendulum or a dowsing rod if you are familiar with these techniques. If you want to learn some ore about dowsing read: Dowsing (biolocation).
  • If nothing of the above suits you, just select one photograph using your intuition or simply guess.

Spread the word about this experiment using the web. Ask your friends and relatives to participate. The more people take part in the experiment, the more reliable will be the results.

How will you know that I didn't cheat?

First, believe me I don't have any interest to cheat since this is a research I'm genuinely interested in. But if you're afraid that I'm going to cheat about the answer, here's the solution. Below you'll find the answer in an encrypted way. The string in the next paragraph is the result of one-way hashing of an answer string, which describes in which box is the ring. The algorithm used to hash is SHA-1 and it's almost impossible to get back the answer from the hashed string. When the experiment is over I'll post the answer string and everybody will be able to verify that this string indeed has the hash value used below. If you didn't understand the above but want to know what this is, search the internet for SHA-1.

So, the hashed answer string is:
0312e21d9721ba525d93014a20d02c58cd3a734f

Now, select the photograph and fill the form below.

I encourage to fill the optional email field for the following reasons:

  • Only registered users will be eligible to win prizes. Otherwise I have no way to contact you.
  • The next experiment will be only between registered participants, so if you want to take part in all future experiments, your email will be needed.
  • You'll also be subscribed to the newsletter which will have announcements of results and of future experiments. That way you're not going to miss a thing.
