Day 4- Ganzfeld Experiment

Aim:

To test whether telepathy is actually possible

Materials:

Ping pong ball, bright light, white noise ( static).

Construction:

There is a sender (A) and a receiver (B).

The sender thinks of an image. This could be any random image.

Receiver has to place a cut out ping-pong ball on both his eyes, and is made to stare at a bright light for about an hour, while listening to white noise, in the background.

The receiver explains whatever he sees through the ping pong ball, and the sender records these.

Through the entire recording of the images seen, the receiver tries to telepathically connect to the image that the sender initially thought about.

Observations: Being the sender

The image I thought about was the texture of leather.

These were a few images or scenes the receiver saw-

• Pink, purple peach and violet were the colours seen (when these related colours were shown on the laptop screen)

• Skin colour

• Skeleton and ribs

• Bright orange with yellow strip passing through

• Colours of sunset

• White, aquamarine, blue

• Waves crashing

• Flowers

• Swans

• An eye

• Explosion, with seeds splattering

• Tiny pores

• Big white caterpillar

• Dragonflies

• Crescent moon

Conclusion:

There was a 33% success in one experiment where I was the sender, and being a receiver, for the same experiment there was just a 20% success.

Thus showing that telepathy is not always successful, but can show good results, when few changes in the experiment are made.

Day 5-The art of Making Wine

We used 2 different techniques of making wine. One was, using purple grapes, and home-made method of making red wine.

The other method used was using green grapes to make white wine.

In both these methods, the grapes had to obviously be mashed along with the specified amount of sugar, and a bit of cinnamon and ginger (for red wine), and adding yeast.

Making white wine, however was a much longer task. We had wait for the boiled, mashed grapes to simmer for a bit, then mash the pulp again, and make sure that it was mashed completely.

We then poured 8 litres of the pulped grape, with yeast, into a dispenser and sealed it completely with cling film, and a lot of tape. We made a small hole on the top, where we passed a small tube through the cling film, which would take out the carbon dioxide from the grape juice, as the yeast works on the grape. And the other end of the tube is dipped in a disinfectant (vodka) in this case, in a small tumbler.

We then left this dispenser along with the tumbler of vodka and the tube connecting the two, in a dark place. And after about a month or so, the wine should be ready to be packed and sold!

Hopefully both the red wine and white should come out well, after following measurements correctly and also going through each of the steps and executing them accurately.
