Study suggests precognition may be possibleNovember 18th, 2010

A Cornell University scientist has demonstrated that psi
anomalies, more commonly known as precognition, premonitions or
extra-sensory perception (ESP), really do exist at a
statistically significant level. Psi anomalies are defined as
"anomalous processes of information or energy transfer that are
currently unexplained in terms of known physical or biological
mechanisms." In a paper soon to appear in the leading (peer-
reviewed) social psychology publication, The Journal of
Personality and Social Psychology, psychologist Daryl Bem
described nine experiments, in most of which he reversed the
order of well-known psychological experiments such as recall and
affective priming, so that what was usually seen as the cause
became the effect. The experiments were carried out over a
period of eight years and were well-designed and controlled and
rigorous enough to be replicated in the future by
