From π to ψ: Buffon's Needle Experiment as a Way to Test Psi 'Powers'

Buffon's Needle is traditionally used to estimate the value of π. We propose adapting it in order to investigate whether individuals can influence the outcome of needle drops through psi abilities.

This paper explores a novel application of Buffon's Needle experiment to test for psi phenomena. Buffon's Needle, a classical probability experiment, is traditionally used to estimate the value of π. We propose adapting this experiment to investigate whether individuals can influence the outcome of needle drops through psi abilities. The paper outlines the mathematical background of Buffon's Needle, details the original experiment, and presents a structured approach to testing psi phenomena. Statistical methods for data analysis and considerations for experimental design are discussed. This novel application aims to provide a rigorous empirical method for investigating psi influences on physical outcomes.
