Part 4/8:
A significant aspect of these experiments was the erratic nature of the results, particularly represented by phenomena that seemed to occur spontaneously in nearby environments. For instance, amidst attempts to grasp control over the conditions and material responses, researchers reported instances of objects outside the experimental area reacting unpredictably—one striking example included a teacup shattering, which put pressure on both the experimenters and their neighbors. The unpredictability raised questions about the interactions within the experimental environment and the potential influences that factors beyond direct observation may have.
