Sensing of Magnetic Fields by Humans

[BillT]

Some animals can sense magnetic fields.
This guy Kirschvink has been trying to show this in humans for many years.
For a while when I was working at Caltech, I had a friend in his lab.

....that is terrific stuff.....nice read....I lived in La Canada, California....amongst our neighbors were scientists from JPL, and Cal Tech....when my folks had cocktail parties, it was a given that I'd help serve...just so I could walk around and listen to all the various conversations....fantastic stuff tossed around at those affairs.... ...I went to school with their sons/daughters....cool kids....some so smart it was scary...
