This thread is to discuss/criticize/hash out the details of presentiment studies in response to Arouet's request to do so in another thread. Perhaps this discussion will make us more confident or less confident in the conclusions of presentiment studies, or at the very least we will understand these studies well enough to debate them rather than appeal to their authority (or maybe lack thereof). It is my opinion based on casual reading of them that these studies reveal a real phenomenon that cannot be explained under the current paradigm and violates the principles of classical physics and naive realism known as locality and causality. Despite my current opinions, I am open to change them if valid criticisms appear when examined in close detail.
Arouet suggested I pick a study, so I googled "Presentiment Radin" and this was the first paper that came up:
Electrodermal Presentiments of Future Emotions by Dean Radin
Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 18, No. 2, pp. 253-273, 2004
http://deanradin.com/evidence/Radin2004Presentiment.pdf
We can discuss this one or if someone else has a different paper suggestion, please post it.
This thread is not the place for emotion or ad homenim attacks on other posters. This thread is not the place to discuss the nature of consciousness. This thread is only to discuss the details of the study and whether or not the results truly indicate a violation of the classical physical paradigm.
