Emily Rosa - Ghost Buster !

I was very impressed with 11 year old Emily Rosa's  " ghost busting "

    science fair project. So was the Journal of the American Medical Association .

    Will more than 47,000 practitioners of Therapeutic Touch be put out of business

    by Emily 's precocious paper ?

         Marilee Tolin - a practitioner of the this " alternative  medicine ",

    points out that  "intuition " is also  needed to " sense " the HUMAN ENERGY

    FIELD. And Dr. Dolores Krieger, an emeritus professor of nursing at New York

    University , insists that this " touch therapy " - interacting with the " human

    energy field - WORKS .

        Bright as Emily is- I wish her great success in scientific research - was

    her experiment described in the April 1 Providence Journal - perhaps a little

    superfluous ?  A quick reading of the late Carl Sagan 's " Demon Haunted World "

    or ordinary scientific literacy would have sufficed to discredit the pseudo -

    scientific notion of a specific " human energy " field.

       Energy as a MATERIAL  reality has been understood for many decades now by

    scientific thinkers. As I understand it modern science is familiar with

    gravity energy field and electro -magnetic fields . These can be detected

    by instruments even when very weak. How many ergs per cubic centimeter do

    we find in the average " human energy field ", which is not gravitational and

    not electro-magnetic ? Does it survive death ? Then we are dealing here

    with Poltergeist phenomenon !

        Scientific literacy can save us millions of dollars !
