I have no idea if you're lying or not.

ANYBODY who cites they are qualified in material science as the only
qualifying evidence is making a spurious case.

The point is in Engineering, a hypothetical is only worth discussing
if an experiment can be designed.

* * * *

I can just read your mind outright, I can answer a question you are
THINKING of even better.

BTW I thought of a VERY SIMPLE ACCURATE MEASUREMENT of my Quantum
Entanglement Powers!

Exactly like the final scene of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

I grab 5 random scrabble letters, put them one after the after.

Type the 5 letters into a dictionary, if it's a word... it's a score!

We can use random selections or a control person to work out the
average score.

So.. that's experiment if you're interested.

Though I suggest you let me read your mind..  It's really spot on
considering I do it BLIND!

Odds of a wheel coming off on a particular day = 1 in 1,000,000
Number of people on earth times days lived = 5,000,000,000 X 10,000

It's bound to happen to someone.. and very hard to prove the psychic
didn't hack your axle down!
