18:36.31unumI keep forgetting how crazy I am for believing in dowsing
18:37.05unumor something like it I should say...
18:37.28TeneYeah, by my standards that's pretty crazy.
18:38.04unumwell if I ever have a leak in my sprinkler system I'm pulling out my copper tubing
18:38.19unumit's proved more accurate for them than random digging
18:38.34unumof course if the leak is bad enough you can just dig at the big wet spot
18:38.43unumwhich is even more accurate
18:38.59mheathdowsing?
18:39.07mheathIsn't that the hold-the-stick-and-let-it-guide-you thing?
18:39.20unumthat's not quite how I do it
18:39.45Q_ContinuumWalk around.  Find the squishy, wet ground. BAM!
18:39.47unumI use copper tubing and walk around, when they cross it means there was a change in density underneath them
18:39.58unumnot sure how far down it will detect that change
18:40.22unumone time I walked across a secondary main which would have been burried deeper than most sprinkler pipes and it they crossed
18:40.38unumactually crossed stronger than I have ever seen
18:40.39Teneunum: Cool; go pick up your $1M from the JREF
18:40.45*** join/#utah ^Migs^ (Migs@205.122.50.64)
18:40.47Q_Continuum^
18:41.10unumI don't believe it's paranormal
18:41.31Q_ContinuumWorth a try.  Either way, we get to find out the science behind the 'Why' :-D
18:41.41Q_ContinuumOr MythBusters
18:41.47Tenehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Randi_Educational_Foundation#Example_of_a_test_.28dowsing.29
18:42.57TeneAny kind of dowsing is sufficiently paranormal for the jref, last I heard.
18:43.41unumhmmmmm
18:44.18unumnow would the person have to find A pipe or be able to differiate between which one had water
18:44.29unumthat's not clear to me from reading that
18:45.12TeneFor that specific trial, it was locating the "active" pipe with water flowing.
18:45.50Tenehttp://www.randi.org/library/dowsing/ discusses some variations in the dowsing claims.
18:47.30TeneSo, if you can do it, can I have $100k from your prize?
18:47.51unumI can not do that
18:48.02unumI believe I could find the location of all three pipes
18:48.20unumand if one of them had a significant enough leak I could find that as well
18:48.45TeneThey vary the tests to the specific claims of the applicant.  That's just one example of a specific claim.
18:48.58*** join/#utah ^Migs^ (Migs@205.122.50.64)
18:49.17unumwell I admit there's no way I could pass that test
18:49.25Q_ContinuumThey'll tailor the tests to your claims and work with you.
18:49.38Q_ContinuumThey WANT to make it possible for folks with legit claims to demonstrate them.
18:50.19mheathSo does "dowsing" only include figuring it out via personal sensing?
18:50.32mheathOr is it still "dowsing" if I roll out my sonar to find the water pipe?
18:51.35unumI'm certain you would not get the prize for dowsing if you used sonar
18:53.52Tene2.2 What is the definition of “paranormal” in regards to the Challenge?
18:53.52TeneWebster’s Online Dictionary defines “paranormal” as “not scientifically explainable; supernatural.”
18:53.55TeneWithin the Challenge, this means that at the time your application is submitted and approved, your claim will be considered paranormal for the duration. If, after testing, it is decided that your ability is either scientifically explainable or will be someday, you needn’t worry. If the JREF has agreed to test you, then your claim is paranormal.
18:54.07Tene-- http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/1m-challenge/challenge-faq.html
18:54.36TeneObviously, everything happening in this world is due to the laws of how this world operates.
18:55.19TeneSo, if it does work, obviously it's operating by some natural force.  Nobody sensible disagrees with that.
18:57.57mheathYeah, but will they sign me up for their challenge with my sonar system? :D
18:58.19TeneNo, because that's explainable with known science.
18:58.41mheathOh, so they want something that isn't explainable with known science
18:58.55mheath(thought ehy are realistic that it probably will be explained, after the fact, with known science)
18:59.01TeneThere's no widely recognized mechanism for a pair of metal rods held by a human to move based on the density of the ground beneath them, so... it counts.
19:00.02mheathWait, can you provide more explanation on that? What do you mean about the metal rods moving? Is that how dowsing people claim to sense things, is 'feeling' metal rods or something?
19:00.23Tenemheath: that's how unum claims to find buried pipes.
19:01.31TeneDowsing is confusing external forces with the ideomotor effect, as far as science can tell.
19:02.37mheathunum: I'm curious, can you explain a little more clearly what you do? I'm not sure I understand your description about crossing copper tubing
19:02.49Tenemheath: Dowsers have wide variety in the specifics of their claims, in what materials are used, or can be detected, under what conditions, etc.
19:03.24mheathI know
19:03.42Tenemheath: he probably holds two copper tubes out, one in each hand, pointing straight, and then when they pass over sufficient density variation, they both move inward, so they cross each other
19:03.58jsmith<sarcasm>I thought they were really good at finding idiots</sarcasm>
19:03.59TeneThat's my interpretation of his description, given what I've seen elsewhere about dowsing.
19:04.14unumTene: you typed that out much faster than me
19:04.18unumbut that is correct
19:04.26mheathI'm just curious. My speciality is in Materials Physics, and so I was just intrigued if any of this could be explained by some of the materials and subatomic phenomena I'm familiar with.
19:05.14mheathBut probably not
19:05.29Tenemheath: None have ever been reproducible under controlled conditions, so it's unlikely.
19:05.47unumI used quarter inch copper tubing that was about 16" long
19:06.02mheathThe only forces that would cause diffferent densities to interact differently with the copper tubing, aren't large enough to really be sensed or felt at those scales
19:06.04unumnow I'd really like to try under controlled conditions
19:06.25unumalthough I was originally trained on copper wiring
19:06.36unumbut I felt like the tubing worked better(a lot more copper)
19:09.01mheathIf you consider the tubes+ground material systme, you could have an (extremely weak) dipole moment that would tug the copper inward and downward. But it would be really, really, really tiny..
19:10.01goozbachwhat we really need is a portable MRI machine looking at unum's brain as he does it
19:10.15Migsis every site on the Internet going extremely slow, or is it just me?
19:10.22goozbachto see that the tiny dipole moment is causing the locomotor effect
19:10.24goozbach:)
19:10.31Teneunum: If you do, you might want to decide in advance exactly what success and failure mean.  People very rarely change their minds, and it's far easier to come up with excuses than to accept contradictory evidence.
19:11.13goozbachsaid MRI machine may cause enough interference however to invalidate the experiemnt
19:11.31Teneunum: if you do perform a double-blind test, I'd be extremely curious to hear the results.
19:12.52Teneunum: Also, you never answered my question, can I have $100k of your $1M prize if you win?

19:36.13unumI guess my brother who trained me on it would have the resources to help me set up a double blind test
19:36.43unumI'd be interested in seeing the results of such a test
19:36.43unumI haven't actually done it in 15 years
19:37.01mheathI have an open mind. I would consider it possible for you to win. Though unlikely.
19:38.32unumTene: I know when I did it the past I would justify my failures by noticing large rocks that would count as change in density, though that was in the case of trying to find the leak, I don't think I ever head trouble finding the pipe
19:38.36unumthat's really easy to check
19:42.20unumit would be really interesting to check it in an enviroment with just one pipe and no sprinkler heads

20:23.10rsimpkinsJayce^: Interesting.
20:23.28Jayce^hopefully it's not crappy popcorn though
20:25.44rsimpkinsI honestly don't think the government is trying to make sequestration harder than it needs to be. I think they are just so bad at managing things they don't know what will work. Every solution is a hammer. Every problem a nail.
20:26.05rsimpkinsVery expensive hammers, I might add.
20:26.57unumwhen they created the sequestration bill they intentionally wrote it up so that they would be forced to come up with a better solution
20:27.02unumat least that's what they claimed at the time
20:28.09rsimpkinsunum: Now did they do it out of malice, or ignorance? I seem to recall a quote about that... something about not attributing to malice what can be attributed to ignorance or something.
20:29.06unumrsimpkins: that's a favorite quote of mine, an I'm perfectly willing to believe that they were ignorant enough to believe that they could work out a solution
20:29.58rsimpkinsI'm on the side that says "If it is a government job that was started after 1969 it is likely to be screwed up." Which side is that?
20:30.33goozbachthey need to kill the NDBs before they close towers
20:30.57goozbacha *VERY* small part of the general avaition community used the non-directional beacons
20:30.57rsimpkinsgoozbach: The NDBs don't have a pention.
20:31.41goozbachbut each and every time that the government breaths in the direction of the NDbs the polititans in those districts cry foul at the cutting of their pork
20:33.37rsimpkinsgoozbach: I'm curious if you know how much we spend on those things a year? I don't, just curious.
20:33.59goozbachthere was a number that boortz quoted a while back but I've forgotten it

20:40.52rsimpkinsIt may be true, but not going to win any hearts and minds... if you follow.

20:42.07rsimpkinsEntertainment I guess? :)
20:42.12goozbachhis job is to get you to listen through the commercials.
20:43.07rsimpkinsI used to work the AM side of a radio station. Late night freaks. Good times. Aliens come from outter space to zap the foil heads in California.
20:43.20goozbachwhich station?
20:43.26rsimpkinsKDXU in St. George.
20:44.02goozbachI worked at Cox Radio for three years, hosted boortz's site even
20:47.37rsimpkinsgoozbach: I don't buy his story about NDBs. The FAA shut down hundreds of NDB sites in 2005 or 06. The ones left are mostly used for approaches, I thought, which are still useful.
20:47.54rsimpkinsI'd love to see a list of what is left.
20:48.01rsimpkinsNDBs the FAA is still maintaining.
20:48.19rsimpkinsThey still have plenty they put on the charts, but they aren't doing any upkeep or anythying.
20:51.32rsimpkinsAccording to the AOPA article there is something like 60 they are maintaining because the minimums are better than GPS approches. That was fairly old though, 2002/3. There is probably a more current list some place.
20:52.04rsimpkinsAnd of the 60 they are keeping up, maybe it is time to finally kill them all off.
