Article in Wired: Mind over Matter https://www.wired.com/1995/04/pear/

In a series of experiments carried out by René Peoc'h, a small, self-propelled robot called a Tychoscope was allowed to wander around aimlessly in an enclosed room. A random generator determined the lengths of the robot's straight-line movement and angles of rotation. Left to itself, the Tychoscope moved in entirely random patterns, and spent as much time in the left half of the room as it did in the right half.

But when a cage filled with live chicks was placed on one side of the room, the robot's pattern changed dramatically. On average, it spent considerably more time in the area nearest the animals. It was as if the birds "willed" the robot to stay close.

If you are an atheist you are a fucking retard
