And so I read that and I said, well, that's pretty interesting. So just in a lark, by this time I'd headed over to Stanford Research Institute to do my laser work. So anyway, I invited him for a weekend just to see what else he could do. And of course, I talked to all my physics colleagues and said, oh my God, these guys are all frauds and charlatans. You better know what you're doing.

Well, it turns out that I had a great experiment for him because we had an experiment set up at Stanford that was a very sensitive quantum chip inside of electrical shielding, inside of magnetic shielding, inside of superconducting shielding. Completely acoustically isolated from the environment. No way anything on the outside could affect that little chip.

They were only looking for quarks and stuff like that. So anyway, I brought him over to the lab. I said, remember that thing you did with the... with the thermistors there at City College in New York. Well, this is sort of like that on steroids. And so he said, okay, well, I'll see what I can do. Well, it turned out he generated all kinds of signals in that little quantum chip.

And of course, a graduate student whose life depended on this not being affected by anything outside said, maybe there's some bubbles in the hydrogen line or something, something. But no, he was able to do it. But what was most interesting... And I asked him, well, how did you know what to do?

He said, well, I didn't know what to do, so I just looked inside, looked inside through all this shielding. And he drew a diagram of what was inside there that had never been published. And he said, well, this is when I put my attention on it. That just happened by accident.

And the little quantum chip and its circuitry deep inside. And when you say he was able to affect something, what in particular was he able to affect? Well, in general, there was a big oscillating signal coming out of the thing that ran about 30 seconds or so. And then when he affected it, it just stopped oscillating. And then he said, do you want me to do something else?

And then he made it oscillate fast. And that's when the graduate student sort of went berserko. And so he said, wait a minute. Let me see what's wrong here. And he couldn't find anything wrong. So he said, well, I'm sure that was just some kind of coincidental glitch. And he did it again. So he's doing it exactly when he's saying he's going to do it. Exactly when he says he's going to do it.
