I've seen that before a few times, surprising how loud it is when you're close!

Good for them, I consider it a disgusting thing to do to an animal and only buy animal products from places where I have a full knowledge of everything which goes on. Another long term Buy Wholefoods Online customer. I've always had great service from Gazegill for meat. Other than sausages...

For these reasons there is a genuine possibility the internet could cease to become the useful resource it has been for the last 20-odd years, to the extent that it could actually become easier to regress to using books and libraries as a source of information. Of course, AI has the potential to...

Dead people the rods told me to say it!

I'm frankly not interested in what others believe or don't believe. I only know my personal experience and that of others I trust. I don't require scientific studies and media reports to form beliefs. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. My advice would be try it, and also to conduct...

They are a load of rubbish, as I (and plenty of others I know) can dowse with a success rate much greater than mere probability.

Nah above me I'm afraid!

Apologies, that was in reponse to: Perhaps the scientifically minded here could, individually or as a team, locate some doswers, try the process themselves, and try and conduct their own scientific study of dowsing? I imagine it would be a fascinating process to design a suitable experiment.

I disagree, for the very vast majority of human history we've got on very well without the existence of science, and have likely been just as happy and certainly did not cause toxic potentially terminal damage to our planet which is tied in with science. I have no issue with critical thinking...

I think there's about as much reason and desire to produce scientific evidence for dowsing as there is for my example. Plenty of people commenting on this thread can dowse, and it is of no profit or benefit to them to lie. There are a small number of people who cannot accept it can work...

Could you produce measurable evidence gathered in a controlled manner that igniting pyrotechnics immediately before dining on them with coleslaw is harmful to health?

My thoughts, others will vary: Success rate- hard to quantify but usually very good for something fairly obvious. There are some places/days when it just doesn't work for me, but success is much more common. One thing common to all dowsers I have spoken to is that it is very...

Different mindsets, the results of different upbringings and life experiences. Like you, I'm happy for it to remain unknown. Also lucky in that I can often connect to the energy/spirit of a place, whatever you want to call it. As it happens I'm an engineer and surveyor, but managed never to get...

A lot of dowsers will ask permission before they dowse. I haven't met one who knows who or what they are asking, but they do all the same. They either get the feeling it's appropriate to dowse, or it isn't. Perhaps this is partly why applying black and white scientific practices doesn't work...

I think you've nailed it. Some things just don't mesh with science.

Very few small businesses would be able, or desirous, to change public opinion by funding scientific studies...

Leylines, or rather the more extensive subject of earth energies, are indeed yet another of those things which don't profit big business so remain outside mainstream science. Long may they do so. There is a lot which goes of which western science can't and won't understand. As already...

Just waiting for it to reverse...

I generally trust my compass.

Yes, but conversely I suspect if I offered several hundred thousand for a study to prove dowsing works I could start building evidence to the contrary. Regardless, I can dowse, science thinks it doesn't work, so there's something wrong with science....
