Thread Name: BS: Are you aware when you are being stared
Subject: RE: BS: Are you aware when you are being stared
There's that guy who believes he has the peculiar telekinetic power of turning streetlights on and off. Because he quite often is passing by a streetlight when it changes state. I've tested it for myself. Quite often, when I'm passing a streetlight, around dawn or dusk, it will change state. Perhaps I have the power myself.

To test whether pedestrians turn round when stared at, you need to count all the ones who DON'T turn round as well as the ones who do.

Yes, evolutionarily it would be useful to be able to tell if a predator is watching us, just as it would be very useful evolutionarily to become invisible at will.

As for TIA's science club, if they've found any correlation at all (either way) they can become the first science club to get a Nobel prize. And despite what LH says, if they can prove a correlation, they WILL get one.
