Guardian Unlimited | Life | Einstein’s close encounter
Curiously enough, when Einstein was asked, years later, about his beliefs in the telepathic experiments of Dr JB Rhine, then studying parapsychology at Duke University, he stressed his scepticism in strictly scientific terms. All of Rhine’s experiments had reported that psi-forces did not decline with distance, unlike the four known forces of nature – gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and the weak force. “This suggests to me a very strong indication that a non-recognised source of systematic errors may have been involved,” Einstein wrote.

I love the way he responded. Not saying that any wrongdoing or lying was going on just “non-recognised source of systematic errors “! That is so cool!
