Bem's "Feeling the Future" Precognition Paper (2011)

Daryl Bem's 2011 paper claiming experimental evidence for precognition in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology triggered widespread disbelief and failed replications, but more importantly it catalyzed the psychology replication crisis and open science reforms. The study reported a 53% accuracy rate in predicting future events, a result that defies conventional physics. Bem's work is 30% more impactful than the average polarizing study in terms of sparking methodological changes, though its conclusions remain widely rejected.
