Commentary

James Randi is the founder of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF)—an organization that claims to be "an educational resource on the paranormal, pseudoscientific, and the supernatural." JREF also has a $1 million dollar challenge for concrete evidence, in the form of a mutually-accepted test procedure, of paranormal or supernatural powers. No one has ever won the prize.
