But, in order: 1. Precognition. 2. Telepathy. 3. The moon landing in July, 1969 was faked. 4. There is only one electron in the universe. All these electrons we see are just the same electron weaving through space and time. The tests claimed to support 1 and 2 are bogus (as far as I've ever seen). 3 is crazy. But 4 is in its own world of bizarre beliefs. One with that idea can't really say the others are "crazy", can they? @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
