Please don't discount something as rubish without seeing the evidence. And I never said that the intensity of the field was the determining factor. It seems to be the flux that has the disruptive/enhancement effect, not necessarily the intensity of the GMF. Solar flares and such are just what have the most impact. Also note that it is usually the pattern of the signal, not the intensity, that can cause the most change. For instance, using cellphones, theoretically, have a greater chance of causing cancer than living near powerlines. The powerlines may be much more intense but that is essentially white noise, easily ignored/adjusted to by the body. Cellphones, on the other hand, send out structured signals that, if encountering the right cell at the wrong time, could 'tell' it to start replicating like a madman (a.k.a. cancer).

Where do you work by the way?

so, would lifting a frog with a magnetic field be possible? would it kill the frog?

if we establish a baseline for the power needed for a relativily telekinitec feat...if the pro people want, we can use a pencil as the baseline. knocking a book of the shelf doesn't take a lot of energy.

and this has nothing to do with my adolesent fantasy's.

No forms of "psi", no matter how small, exist in reality. I was not merely stating that stuff like what is in comics and movies was fantasy, but all of it. I have seen various forms of "evidence", and none of it added up.

Cell phones cause cancer is an urban legend.

Interesting how you state flat out that no form of psi exists on the basis that you haven't seen evidence for it that added up. No current evidence for A does not imply that A doesn't exist. While it is reasonable to doubt A, or to be suspicious of claims of A, your statement could readily be turned around: I have not seen any evidence that added up stating that humans have no currently unrecognized communication methods (one reasonable definition of telepathy). Do you have any proof that no forms whatsoever of "psi" exist? If not, why the utter denial of the possibility?

I did a quick search Online, and came up with an article that I suspect is one that QuarianRex alluded to earlier: Experiment description and analysis table

Edit: Hmm, the link isn't working quite the way I wanted it to; it takes you to the head of the article, not the table. I think I'll leave it anyway.

i'll take a look at that stuff.

University of Manchester. We use NMR spectrometers for study of biomolecules.
