This is even better the second time around.

My first idea would be electrostatic energy from thick carpets or something similar.
You could start scientific testing by having your witnesses trying it themselves, then noting who is able to replicate the effect and who isn’t; then examining the differences between the two groups (synthetic clothing, etc.)
Then move on to testing with other kinds of plants.
Or simply wait until someone here presents you with the explanation ;-)

Im able to move large leaf plants in a controlled setting i.e. closed room, no wind. I do this by tensing my hand and then slwly moving the hand too and away from the leaf, all the while not touching it. After a few seconds the leaf moves in unison with the hand. I have considered air thrust from the movement of my hand but as the leaf is large i just dont see how the miniscule amount of air thrust my hand would create can affectthe leaf to such a degree. Also, if i dont tense my hand nothing happens. I was shown this trick (i consider it to be just that) by an old hippie. She coudnt explain why it happens but gave me a spiel about earthforce, lifeforce and some other B.S. As you can guess im a skeptic but as i am able to do this on almost every occasion i try and all witnessess can confirm i never touched the leaf and no amount of wind was sensed im a little confused by it all. Is it something to do with an electrical current produced when i tense my hand? or is it really a form of physcokintec power? Any info would be great!

Hoo-hah! High-end funny.

Rockadilly said: “HiEv you seem to miss radiatidon’s point either purposefully or otherwise. Your conversation reminds me of an adult and a child. The little one points to various animals, Zebra, donkey, mule, horse, deer, elk, and so forth. Each time the child will say “Pony!” and the adult will try and correct the child to no avail. Though the more experienced adult knows that there is a difference the less experienced child knows without a doubt that any and all these animals are foremost a pony. Mate not everything is black and white like your card example except to the simple mind of a child.”[/quote]
So, rather than presenting an argument showing how I’m wrong, you just try to belittle me? Sorry, but I never once claimed that everything is black and white, so you can take your strawman arguments and empty insults elsewhere.

I was just using that as an analogy for light, as I said above, “Light may act as a particle in one situation and a wave in another, just as the card may look black in one situation and white in another.” There is nothing “childish” about my insistence that light exists as both a particle and a wave, because my reasoning is based in science, not stubbornness.

What makes you think it has to be either one or the other?”

So you have developed a theory of your own? Upon what hypothesis can you base your knowledge of this? For year’s scientist have debated on just what the basic nature of light is, either a wave or a particle. Having experience working with light, lasers, and other electromagnetic frequencies plus performing the various experiments that shows light works as both a wave and a particle.

Follow this link as it discusses the basic aspects of light — http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/mod1.html

No, ever since Quantum Physics was let out of the closet the scientific community has been trying to explain it.

What I was pointing out is that your quote that “Scientific theories are logical, consistent, and make testable predictions.” is a flawed and incorrect statement. Science is not perfect and experiments performed in the same manner in the best-controlled environments can, and do provide different results.

As far as “where did I read that”, well, my wall is covered with pretty documents outlining my degrees. My knowledge base has been used and requested by various industrial entities including NASA, DOD, and DOE, not to mention that I have been offered employment by various foreign entities.”[/quote]
