A Quantum Psychic tries to predict the future but uncertain (in principle) about the result. Lots of hand-waving but not particle of truth.

It depends on the beliefs of the observer. It's a variable. They need like minds to prove it.

They've done studies on the "Jinx in the machine". They allowed balls to drop freely though pegs. Those who believed most of the balls would land on the left side of the machine got balls on the left side of the machine. Those who believed most of the balls would land on the right side got most of the balls on the right side of the machine.

Wow you don't know much about quatum physics either, I see. No, it doesn't "depend on the beliefs of the observer".

"They" have, have "they"? Yeah, right, sure "they" have. You go right on believing that.

But for our amusement, feel free to try to provide citations to these "studies".
