If there is such a thing as PSI, why can't we find a detector.
Detectors for such mundane things as sound, light and chemicals
poke from everywhere. Where is the PSI detector?

While I refuse to state any position on the existence of PSI, I could also ask: Where is a quark detector? I believe in them, but yet there is no concrete experimental evidence for their existence (at least, the last I heard). Hasn't the PSI discussion dragged on a little too long?

This is a test.

I think this PSI business is hooey myself, but I don't see this as
too valid a point. Detectors for bat sonar and for fish electric fields do
not "poke from everywhere".

From: Charlie Crummer <crummer@AEROSPACE> I don't know about PSI waves but a certain Rev. Vernon Campbell had (in the '50's no less) a dowsing amplifier that would make the greenest skeptic into a competent dowser. Don't tell me this wasn't science, I saw it at an AIAA meeting! --Charlie

If the dowsing amplifier mensioned really works it would put you in a position to win the $10,000 that James Randi has offered to anyone who can demonstrate that capability in a controlled experiment. Seems like this has been an open offer for several years now, and noone has collected. The Skeptical Inquirer gave an interesting review of the attempts of four claimants to this prize a few years back. Needless to say, none of them even came close to following the underground water channels laid out for the purpose, even though all agreed beforehand that it was a fair test.
