Remote Viewing – how do scientists rationalize it and prove it ISNT real?
Unfortunately, the several people who have answered your question by asserting that remote viewing data is unsupported by scientific evidence are mistaken. I have just wrapped up a 340-page dissertation for a PhD in philosophy at the University of Texas in Austin in which I carefully examined research in four different parapsychological research paradigms, including two forms of remote viewing, and found the evidence very strong. First, there are hundreds of peer-reviewed papers in specialty and mainstream journals and publications (including “Nature,” “Proceedings of the IEEE,” “Proceedings of the AAAS,” and others) covering the four areas I researched that show positive results. There are many publications reporting replications of remote viewing experiments (and I have discovered that the relative handful of failed replications can often be traced to failure of those attempting the replications to follow the instructions on how to correctly do a remote viewing experiment).
