I'm with you on the skepticism. I didn't believe it at first either. It
takes a bit more research than just scanning a single archive to uncover
information. Einstein is making the statement in regard to a form of
diagnostical health dowsing, an area I think is pretty bogus. I was

In my experience, divining really just doesn't work, trouble is we want
it to work, because it seems like it should, but if anyone has ever seen
a so called psychic using a pendulum, you can see just what's going
on. Positive reinforcement is a powerful thing!

Years ago, an employee of the local utility company told me his foreman
always kept a pair of dowsing rods in his tool truck. He said he didn't know
how or why they worked, and didn't care, they were just practical to use. At
the time I thought he was b'sing me.

If someone out there with a baseball size or larger iron wouldn't mind
performing a little test with it I would appreciate hearing back from
them on how it turned out. To test what I had in mind you will need
to make a couple metal divining rods out of coat hangers or something

Maybe not the best method of locating but they do cross over some
things. Water lines, phone lines, power lines, etc. I know they will
cross over iron. Just curious if they will over meteoric iron also.

I really wasn't looking into this as a way of hunting meteorites.
Actually was wanting to know whether or not it works over meteoric

Interesting story Graham.
I'm also not convinced by these claims and have never seen a truly uncorrupted
experiment of these claims.

Hi Richard,
Yes I am of a similar mind...not convinced but intrigued. The
unexplained in this world is always intriguing and I suppose its what
inspires the inquisitive mind, scientist, artist or just plain weirdo
to look for their own answer.
Keep up the good work,
Cheers,

Either that, or as Albert thought, the central tenet, the core belief in
randomness that lays the foundation of quantum mechanics is wrong. When Al
says that He doesn't throw dice, he's expressing a disbelief in the
randomness of the universe. He's echoing the teleological beliefs of

A big Duh!! on my part. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Chris, I
concede your point, Albert was no expert on the human nervous system. And
