Aparently a site devoted to retro-enchantment(but probably clothed in scientific terms), it caught my attention with a link to a Paper that I had heard about sometime last year, "Martial arts students influence the past" by Julian Brown (1994) (review).

Haven't really dug into it yet, let me know what you think.

I ran some of the practice experiments trying to influence the result in some cases and not to influence it in others (which might mean I was influencing it toward a "0 score"  or not influencing it in either case of course) and it seemed to respond weakly (~.25 standard deviation for no intent and > .4 for intending to go right. I can take that as my baseline. I plan to try to sigilze an intent for the bellcurve to go right then run it ten times and capture screen shot. Hmm actually I need to take screenshots of any baseline too, so will start over.

Nice! I noticed the little blurb about "running experiments", but, like I mentioned, haven't really dug into it yet.

I posted that link also during the first Pete Caroll class and had very few  reactions.
Pete said that he often mentioned it in his lectures or that he even had mentioned it in a book.
( sorry Pete, no access to MLA , so I have to quote from memory)
Had no idea why so few got interested, because I thought that experiment kind of give awesome insights.
I could influence the past more then once and that alone blew my mind...
Why I don't know, but in any case it really gives the magician inside you a boost.
