Some pseudoscience! This website is about dowsing but not the dowsing that you might have heard about. It is not about the application of dowsing in searching for water or minerals. It is concerned with the properties and effects of what is here called spin torsion radiation, radiation that is responsible for the dowsing effect. |
Who are we ?The research described on this site was originally started by the late Vincent Reddish who was formerly Astronomer Royal for Scotland, Regius Professor of Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh and Director of the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. Reddish was challenged in 1989 to find a scientific explanation for dowsing and discovered a very strange effect. Reddish's work has been continued to the present time by a group of scientists and engineers who have made some ground breaking new discoveries. |
Why is this site called spin torsion ?Our research has been into the phenomena that cause the dowsing response, a response that is normally associated with the search for water or other entities. However it has always been believed that the radiation that caused the dowsing response must have much wider effects than those observed when dowsing for water. A name to describe this radiation was thus needed. The term spin torsion, first introduced by Elie Cartan has been used in earlier work by others and has been adopted here as a working name. |
