How is this possible (to feel crystals?) |
I'm in a quandary of sorts.
Last month I visited someone's home who had large quartz crystals
scattered about a room. Yes, extremely tacky and very 90s. But I
noticed a very peculiar thing - when I moved my hands around near the
top of some of the crystals, I felt a continuous pin-***** feeling in
my hand directly above the tip. This seemed to be more noticeable for
larger crystals than smaller ones.
Like any true empiricist, I decided to test it last week. I had my
girlfriend hold up a crystal (a small one we found in a shop) to the
palm of my hand without touching it. I then closed my eyes - and tried
to guess where on my palm she was holding it. I got it right about 2/3
of the time (not even a 50-50 chance because of the number of places
she could hold it under my hand!).
This isn't something I would normally believe in.
Does anyone have any idea why this would be? What am I feeling? Is it
measurable? While I consider myself a pretty open-minded person, I'm
distrustful of the popular culture surrounding crystals, so I was
hoping to find a more scientific explanation.
Thanks.

You maybe are feeling a static charge pinned to
the surface of the crystal or imagining the
tingling sensation, extrapolating from the heat
sensed from your assistant's hand.
Try wiping the crystal thoroughly with a dryer
antistatic sheet and try again.
Instead of trying to detect the location of the
crystal, try for a simpler yes/no it's either
there or not. While blindfolded, have your
assistant place either the crystal, another
object, or nothing under your hand at regular
intervals. She should work from preset lists
of randomly generated series of moves (easily
concocted on a home computer). Each time she
does so she will say "Now", and you must decide
what the situation is. She should record the
results. Do several runs of a hundred trials,
then crunch the numbers.

The probability of a small needle randomly falling on some
line is also roughly 2/3:

The probability of picking the right curtain in the Monty Hall
problem is 2/3:

Would it help if I said you had an extremely rare
and useless superpower?

My guess would be that your open-mindedness may be too open.
But since I don't have your superpowers (and I presume your girlfriend
doesn't either) you are on your own. I just hope you will use them
for good and not evil.

BTW... in quantum mechanics. It says that non-locality can
only occur on rare occasion when there is quantum coherence
(such as when the system is isolated from thermal and
environmental decoherence). But this is not totally true.
Since a higher dimension is very possibily involved. Non-locality
can exist even in macroscopic world. Try this. Let your girlfriend put
the crystal anywhere and you can still sense it. Because you
are sensing the non-local wave function. But if you are
beginner. You could be just reacting to your physiological
states and unconscious nervous system tendencies and
this is often the case for newbies. We can make more
quantitative details of this once we know what interpretations
truly explained the quantum world.. whether Bohmian,
Transactional, Many worlds, etc.

Here's the explanation. In crystals where there are ordered atomic
patterns. The electrons has more states where it can move. In
fact, the electrons form an energy band. In this lower 4D (3
space + 1 time). There may be nothing to it. But in higher
dimensions. The wave function can tap some of the
informational field inherent in the higher dimensions. Now
when you are sensing them. It's because they are affecting
the wave functions of your hands.. causing some kinetic oscillations
due to the additional wave function of higher vibration inpringing
on your hands inherent wave function. Convensional physics
which only deal with the lower 4D may not understand this.
But when you take into account the higher dimensions and
especially the energies inherent there. Then there is additional
effects. Welcome to the future of physics.
