Slashdot pointer to the NYT article on the PEAR lab closing. Rather sad, considering all the cool stuff they've done over the years. The egg project, in particular, was really cool. The possibility that you change or predict events just by thinking about them has tremendous potential, and it sucks that the scientific community is so opposed to exploring this further.

Not all observed phenomena can be explained with our current scientific knowledge, and it seems kind of stupid to just selectively ignore some of these phenomena or pretend that they don't happen. I think even random speculation on the cause would be better than ignoring it.
