Israeli uri geller can use the so-called super power, that is, the spirit can deform objects such as spoons! Why can't I?

This is a liar, playing telepathic tricks. Of course, it is a deceptive trick. It shocked a news figure in Europe and America in the early 1970s, and was publicized in some newspapers in China in the early 1980s. This is the so-called "psychic" uri geller from Israel. It is reported that the mystery of its function is staggering, and the most famous scientists abroad have specially tested him to confirm the authenticity of Geller's "super power", which is even more incredible. However, not long ago, I talked about this with an Italian student studying in China. He smiled and said, "Aha, uri geller! That is an international liar. You don't know, he is a magician! " How can this European youth come to the opposite conclusion without hesitation? Looking closely at the article introducing Geller again, I found that there was a phrase "Some people think Geller is just a clever magician" between the lines, but there was no reference at all. Now that I have read a few materials, I can have a general understanding of this scam abroad. Andrew Weil, an American psychologist, approached Geller with suspicion at first, but after personally observing Geller's various magical performances, Weil became convinced. However, he finally cleared the fog, saw through the scam, wrote an objective research report, and explored the true face of uri geller and made it public. The turning point of Weil's understanding of Geller was his acquaintance with a senior magician, james randi. The magician has been studying Geller coldly and concluded that Geller cheated by magic. Randy personally performed magic tricks for Weil, the content of which was the same as Geller's "miracle" for scientists at Stanford Research Institute in the United States, which convinced Weil that "what he saw may not be true". Randy pointed out that the only way to expose Geller's scam was to catch him red-handed when he traded a bent nail for a nail or bent a key on the leg of a chair. Finally, Randy fulfilled his promise and really grabbed Geller's wrist while secretly bending the spoon. Since then, the truth of Geller's deception has come to light. Randy was called the "science supervisor" because he exposed more than one Geller liar. Randy admits that Geller is a very advanced magician. But why did Geller make the magician stop doing "he did perform magic when he was in Israel" and become a grandstanding liar instead? Of course, economic benefits are a main reason, but this is only one aspect. Geller is essentially a propaganda tool bought by modern psychologists. Andrica PerHarich, a modern psychologist, "discovered" Geller in Israel, and then brought him to the United States to perform and became his guardian. Geller vividly expressed various spiritual phenomena such as "extra sensory perception" (ESP) and "mind-driven" (PK) pursued by modern psychology with his magical techniques. This not only deceived others, but also deceived psychologists themselves, so the phenomenon of mind was named "Geller phenomenon". However, when the scam was exposed, these supernatural phenomena were reduced to magic performances. What is the tacit understanding between Geller and the psychiatrist? Although we can't jump to conclusions, we can't say that there are no clues to find. Geller once claimed that his special powers were given by cosmic people in UFOs when he was three or four years old. Harich immediately publicly testified that he had seen Geller enter a "flying saucer". Echo each other, obviously playing a "double spring" with uncoordinated time and rhythm. Carl Sagan, an American astronomer, is a world-famous authority on the study of extraterrestrial civilization. He first advocated and designed a metal information board and a recording of "Voice of the Earth" aimed at contacting aliens, and sent it outside the solar system. He once refuted the theory that "UFO" is a means of transportation for cosmic people to land on the earth with convincing scientific arguments. However, Perl Harich and Geller still regard this conversation as the basis of their psychic abilities. This is not only to take advantage of people's curiosity about cosmic people, but also to guide believers to the ultimate goal of this scam-to prove the existence of God. Whitehead, an English idealist philosopher, once said: "Religion cannot restore its inherent authority if it does not accept change in the same spirit as science. Religious principles may exist forever; But the expression of this principle needs continuous development. ..... and the interaction between religion and science is an important factor to promote this development. " We might as well make a very brief historical review. If 100 years ago, the magical function of "psychic" worshipped by the psychic was directly endowed by God, then the "psychic" ability worshipped by the modern psychic today is endowed by the cosmic people in the flying saucer. With the progress of science, the god who showed light a hundred years ago has become a god wearing a cosmic helmet. A hundred years ago, God moved in the "fourth dimension", but now he has entered the "eighth dimension". The activity of psychics is to prove the existence of the supreme God. Where's Geller? In his own words: "I feel that this power comes from outside me, and I am just a channel." I believe that there are other dimensions and another universe, and the energy through me comes from another universe-the information transmitted through me for a certain purpose under certain orders. "This will be a channel to where? When Geller was popular, some "scientific theories" did appear: Professor Harder in the United States thought that the earth might be "a cosmic zoo, separated from the rest of the universe. Watchmen often make random sampling checks on the residents in the park. Professor Haldane of Britain suggested that there may be extremely advanced creatures "manipulating the affairs of our world, or our solar system, or even our Milky Way". At the same time, he only shows his existence directly to a few excellent people. "Obviously, Geller must be the best of these outstanding figures. With the continuous progress of science, God and the heaven where he lives have already disappeared from the sky above the earth, the solar system, the Milky Way and the boundless universe. However, God did not show weakness. He turned the light on his head into a cosmic helmet, clouds and dragons into starships, crossed the "fourth dimension" or even the "eighth dimension" and returned to the world again. Isn't Geller's performance just wearing the new clothes of science to confirm the existence of this god? Believing this, what can we do besides "respecting the Lord for one day is higher than all things"? You can only pray to him: "merciful Lord! Please have pity on you stupid experimental animals, and don't dump the earth's Petri dishes! Amen! "It seems that modern pseudoscience does exist, and these pseudosciences are all related, detrimental and honorable. Geller should be the first card of this domino. When the first card falls, all the other cards will be unstable because of the chain reaction. The struggle between science and theology has never stopped. In the confrontation between the two armies, one of the "ecstasy lassos" often provided by theology is magic. There are indeed many scientists who have been defeated or even captured by magic in history. Of course, magic is a superb art, and magicians are respected artists. However, modern magic is not a trick that anyone who has studied chemistry can expose, such as changing tea into ink. When a magician performs magic, he will never show his ass because there is a scientist sitting in the audience, and no one will think that a magician can really catch a fish or move something out of thin air because the scientist can't see the magic door. But doing magic instead of magic is cheating. Scientists can't see that "door" is not their weakness, but it is another matter to believe them easily and preach them. In his report on Geller's incident, Weil finally concluded: "Since I met Geller, I have learned many ways to observe things, and I have also learned to be more cautious in evaluating evidence, especially those that seem to prove what I want to believe. "This shows that he has taken a step forward from the purely empirical observation method, but it is not enough. What if Weil didn't meet Randy? What if Randy and Geller aren't diamond cut diamond? What if Randy is Geller's partner? Of course, you can't just rely on magicians to see through the scam. Randy said, "Scientists are gullible people. "It's not quite right. When scientists only believe in the empirical subjective method of "seeing is believing", they will inevitably be deceived. But when they master the right way of thinking, scientists have the ability to see through scams. Unfortunately, some scientists only trust their own eyes or their own scientific instruments. They didn't expect that what they tried to prove with scientific instruments completely overthrew the existing scientific laws, and of course they denied the scientific instruments designed and manufactured on the basis of these scientific laws. The foundation is denied, and the instrument is unreliable waste. What can you prove? Or a sentence from Engels: "Indeed, the contempt for dialectics cannot go unpunished." Geller was exposed and returned to the magician from "psychic". He doesn't care. He can not only continue to perform magic tricks, but also compile his "glorious history" of being deceived into My Story for publication. Unfortunately, those deceived scientists have to admit that there has been a "Watergate Incident in Science". What can we do? Can we just forget it? It's not that simple. Zincinco, a professor of psychology in the former Soviet Union, once said in 1973: "Spiritualism exposes many methods and means against spiritualism. However, no matter how exposed, it can't shake the devout spiritualist. For idealism, just like religion, belief is better than fact. It is inseparable from this belief to speculate on spiritual phenomena and spread all kinds of rumors. "Therefore, even if conclusive evidence of deception is produced, the same conclusion may not be reached. For example, it can't be proved that Geller does this every time. Seeing through one Geller is not enough to prove that other Gellers are liars. This is also a way of understanding. Maybe Weil is right. He said, "The question is who is watching and what kind of point of view is used to explain it. Each of us can make this phenomenon difficult to distinguish between true and false. "However, can't be false, can't be false, there should be only one answer. Since Homer and Miss Cook, psychics, were able to trick crookes, chairman of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, into becoming the chairman of the Society of Mind/kloc-0.00 years ago, and now Geller's performance has tricked senior scientists of Stanford Research Institute in the United States into writing "scientific papers" for him, it is not surprising that Geller, large and small, will reappear in the future. But there will always be a new Randy who uncovers the scam and grabs their wrists. Science is science after all, and it will never lose its vitality because of deception.

Please accept it, thank you!
