In 1980 somebody noticed an odd pattern any winning lottery numbers. Turns out the balls were weighted to alter the odds.
Realization of something very close to a supernatural force but scientific

There is a .09% chance of getting heads 10 times in a row.
Indeed. And once you have tossed heads 9 times in a row already, the 10th time is still 50%.
In that situation the 9 times in a row already happened. Therefore the odds that that has happened = 100%.
On the next toss your coin doesn't care about the previous 9 tosses, nor does any mystical equalizing force care or even exist.
Once you already tossed heads 9 times in a row, the odds of coming up 10 times is 100% x 50%.
You're suffering from Dunning-Kruger-effect. Yes, you should look that up. It's a serious condition.

May be a bit off topic and leaning towards the supernatural but I have consistently been able to throw dice and make whatever number come up that I want for many many years.( And can change the other throwers dice, though I try just to make my mind stick to my own) I just wish it had a practical application. LOL.
Seriously anyone thats ever played dice with me( dice alone)( not board games with dice, although I do well there to) does not want to play with me after I annihilate them. But ask me to play a card game , I may as well wither up and blow away. So odd.

Do that under controlled conditions and James Randi will give you a million dollars.

Thats just it, I probably would not be able to due to his vibration or whatever you want to call it.
To be fair, I have meet a few people with the dice ability that tore my butt up. Very few and far between.
It is a proven fact that energy can be, has been and continues to be ...ummm, manipulated.
Its also a proven fact that people are nucking futs. lol.

I disagree.
If it is a proven fact can you refer me to the peer reviewed studies that describe the controlled experiments?

Randi sure must be a wizard that he manages to jinx all other peoples magic skills.
And it's very interesting that you claim his mere presence would screw you over...without even having met the man (I assume) .
Of course you could do some sort of live stream event where you take people's input and then throw the number they request. No Randi present.

@cofty. I think I'll change that sentence you highlighted here to say- Energy can be manipulated.
Going to a library that has New Scientist or Popular Science or Scientific ect, pulling out some issues from ten years ago and jotting down just how many of the ‘radical breakthroughs’ and ‘startling discoveries’ of that era are still an accepted part of science now.
Fact-A fact is a statement that is consistent with reality or can be proven with evidence. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability — that is, whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience.
Experience is subjective.
If someone says, “That is subjective” during a discussion, it means that whatever has been put forth depends upon a point of view from one or more subjects, but that point of view may not be shared by all because of personal situations and experiences. It means the speaker can think of examples or knows of examples where the opposite is perceived by just as many subjects.

Also, I really appreciate being able to use my mind(whats left of it)lol, to talk here. There are many many of you that have tons of years experience on me. On so many levels.
Good to know you are not forming a jw judicial committee just because I say things you dont agree with.
