Whaddaru talking about?

You make the 10 second video clip (as described below and posted
MANY TIMES), and then you assemble 10 adults (all over age 18)
and 10 children ages 5-8 years old to watch it (simultaneously... all
20 of them)... on a single t.v. set.

Then you ask the kids... did you see the movie?... answer: "No...
it just looked like a blank screen".

Then you ask the adults... did you see the movie?....answer: " YES...
it was a movie of the Kentucky Derby and horse #77 won
the race".

OK.... that's PROOF POSITIVE.... what the hell are you
talking about "impossible to prove".... you're a screwball.

It is a TESTABLE prediciton.

thousands of people have asked me to post a
TESTABLE PREDICITON of the SPOG (scientific
Proof of God)

Well, here it is, I predict that:

IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A VIDEO MOVIE
WHICH IS VISIBLE TO AN ADULT, BUT
WILL BE INVISBLE TO A KID.

that is a TESTABLE PREDICTION of the SPOG, since
such a thing has NEVER been done before!

.... here's how the video is to be made:

In fact, it is known (Riedel 1966) that a
1/15 of a second flash CAN be seen by and adult, but
not by the kid..... in fact you have to increase the
lenght of the flash to 1/10 of a second before the kid can
see it.

This is why the PFF (picture fusion frequency) of adults
is known to be 15 frames/sec, but for a 7 year old it
is known to be 10 frames/second (Riedel 1966).

OK... this tells you that if you make a "movie" out of
a series of brief flashes (1 or 2 video frames) which
are too short to be Seen by a kid, but long enough to be
seen by an adult.... voila...you have made a (crude)
movie that is VISBLE to an adult, but is INVISIBLE
to a child.


For instance, using ordinary 30 frames/second video,
I predict that the following video clip will be a movie
that will be VISIBLE to an adult, and INVISIBE to a
kid of 5 years old:


01|02|...|...|...|...|07|08|...|...|...|...|13|14|...|...|...|...|19|20|...|..|...|...|25|26|...|...|...|...|-------repeat10times------>

(NOTE: this is 1-second of a standard video, to make
the movie clip simply repeat it ten times to make a 10
second vido clip)

NOTE:

----->|...|<------ = 1/30 of a second (one frame)

----->|19|20|<----- = 1/15 of a second (2 frames)

----->|...|...|...|...|<------ = 1/7.5 of a second (4 frames)

The numbered frames are frames from an actual REAL MOVIE video, while
the |...| frames are BLANK (light gray) frames.

Remember, 2 frames is 2(1/30) = 1/15 of a second, so the ADULT
should see the numbered frames. The 4 repeated |...| frames take
1/7.5 seconds, so the kid can see those, but he cannot see the double
numbered frames.

So it is clear to me that the above sequence will be a VISIBLE MOVIE
to an adult...... but will be an INVISIBLE MOVIE to a 5 year old
kid............ and this constitutes a PROOF that there is an
INVISBLE WORLD which more fully GROWN people can SEE, but
which less fully GROWN people CAN'T SEE.

SO.... I have just made a TESTABLE PREDICTION of the SPOG... and
anyone is free to get out his video editor on his desktop computer
and TEST IT. Until then,

PUT Up OR SHUT UP!
