He's done good work exposing frauds like psychic surgeons in The Philippines, phony key benders like Uri Geller, and faith healers, but he's wrong about ghosts. It seems to only funding for research comes from television reality shows. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eurico Chagas Filho <[email protected]> To: ProFox Email List <[email protected]> Cc: Sent: Friday, November 2, 2012 1:41 PM Subject: Re: [OT] Quantum physics and the soul The scientists could never reproduce those allegations in a controlled environment.
