Physicists often speculate about the universe, but in my experience rarely do so unless the phenomena in question either can be observed directly or indirectly (that is, the consequences of the phenomena may be observed). PK. magic, life-forces, God, clairvoyance, and ESP may well exist. However, unless and until repeated, controlled experiments demonstrate any of the above phenomena, or the phenomena in question are observed in a fashion that suggests a decisive experiment, I for one do not give a damn. Rick. I do not agree with your point of view. I believe that if you wish to cause a discussion to end then there should be an opportunity for the readers to voice themselves. As a physicist I find these discussions particularly interesting and do not believe they should appear outside of the physics mailing list. I think this is the proper place for this information. Can we have a vote please?
