Twixperiments

With Twitter,you can stay updated about your friends or your favourite people.But there's a lot more Twitter can do.Now,Twitter is going to be used for a scientific experiment for the first time says Richard Wiseman.

This experiment will examine the possible existence of 'remote viewing' - the alleged ability to psychically identify a distant location.Remote viewing refers to the attempt to gather information about a distant or unseen target using paranormal means or extra-sensory perception or simply the remote viewer is expected to give information about what he has not seen or does not have any idea of.

The experiment goes like this.Every day Richard will travel to a randomly selected location and will send a Tweet to everyone asking to Remote view the location,i.e,send ther thoughts about that location.Exactly after thirty minutes of the first Tweet,he is going to send five photographs of which only one photograph is the actual location.The users vote on the photo which they believe is the location that Richard mentioned.So,if majority of the votes are for the actual location,the conclusion of the experiment will be that there is existence of extrasensory perception.

You can follow Richard Wiseman on Twitter here.

You must be awestruck everytime when the lead role of Final Destination movie will know what is going to happen next.That is by the psychic phenomeon also called as precognition.That sounds like a crap to most of them,but there are evidences for extrasensory perception in the past.It is no joke that US government spent 20 million dollars to determine the potential of extrasensory perception in the Stargate Project which was terminated in 1995 due to the lack of any documented evidence or theory about this.Many people still believe that it is a genuine ability and this experiment is going to test this with a wider audience.

If most of the votes are for the actual location,then it is counted as a hit and it is counted as a miss otherwise.The experiment is going to be conducted on Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday and Friday this week.Test if your instinct has that rare psychic ability of perceiving things.

In case there is ability to predict the things that happen in future,you can't escape your destiny is the theme of 'Final Destination'.But this study might help the human kind to know what is beyond the understanding of Science.
