Thanks for trying

How about you do my test, in return?

How about three scraps of carpet, outside where there are no pipes/cables. Dowser and observer go out of sight while experimenter places a 50p under one, but lifts and replaces each carpet to avoid clues. Experimenter then goes out of sight for test. Observer notes result. Repeat, say, 25 times (100 would be better), including at least one blank control and one with 50ps under all three.

[You could probably ditch the observer, and just call out your results to the hidden experimenter]

This isn’t about winning an argument, this is about finding out stuff. It’s ‘let’s see what happens’, not ‘let’s prove a point’.

If you get positive results that are repeatable by other teams, you’re onto something. But…
