If you read my previous blog entry on Universal Randomness then you heard about some weird experiences with my daughter. I also mentioned that I would look through her books to see if balls with stars was a recurring pattern. I haven't done a thorough search yet. I'll get to it though. In any event, I wanted to clarify one point in my previous post. There is a big difference between what I was describing and what a lot of people refer to as "psychic." What I am talking about is basically a kind of non-verbal communication. This merely suggests a mechanism by which one person can transfer information to another other than through traditional language means like speech or writing. In contrast, things that are often lumped in with "psychic" abilities often involve talking to dead people or predicting the future. These require much larger deviations from accepted scientific principles.
