STILL in the 70s in our newspapers and popular magazines there were reports about a person who could bend silver knives and forks by willpower. But Uri Geller received greater fame in our country after the broadcast on Central Television of a plot in which he conducted a session on restoring broken watches and various electrical appliances.
Personally, I personally experienced the Uri Geller phenomenon. I am a radiologist by profession. In my work, I had to count a lot. You could even say that a radiologist needs a calculator more than a physician needs a phonendoscope.
Since 1986, I have constantly used a fairly good domestic micro-calculator "Electronics MK-71". Besides being powered by solar cells, no batteries are needed, it is also programmed for statistical calculations.
In 1989, I was on a business trip to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. He worked mainly at the Shelter as the Chief Radiologist of the Special Zone Task Force. Wherever I worked, my calculator was with me in a special polyethylene case to protect it from contamination. But it turned out that where people withstand, technology does not withstand. After I worked for a while in a room with a dose rate of about 20 roentgens per hour, I discovered that my calculator was out of order. It simply stopped turning on.
For several days, myself and with the help of local specialists, I tried to somehow repair it, but to no avail. The cause of the breakdown could be the direct effect of radioactive radiation on the microcircuit, where more than 75,000 transistors are concentrated in a relatively small volume. Another reason for the failure of the device could be the effect of radiation on the solar cells, which led to an increase in the output voltage from them. But anyway, I was left without a typewriter. At that moment, my colleagues helped me out, they gave me another micro calculator (of a completely different brand) for my birthday.
Having returned from Chernobyl, I once again checked the faulty calculator myself and made sure that it was the microcircuit that was damaged. The voltage from the solar cells came to it, but there was no way out. I took the car to the workshop in Vladivostok. They checked it and said that it is easier to buy a new one than to repair this one, it will be cheaper. The electronic engineer also watched my typewriter, who concluded that this calculator cannot be restored.
Finally, I put the typewriter on the shelf where it had been until the day the Uri Geller session was shown on television. It was in the summer of 1991. Hearing that viewers are invited to put a faulty clock, simple and electronic, household electrical appliances in front of the TV, I, not really believing all this, put my MK-71 in front of the TV. He put his right hand on it, as was recommended, and so he spent the entire session.
After the session, I tried to turn on the calculator, in general, laughing at myself, because after all the checks, the wires leading to the solar cells were sealed inside it. Of course it didn't turn on. I did not immediately solder the wires - skepticism is strong in us. In the evening I still opened the calculator and soldered the wiring. Turning it face up, I saw that it was working. It works to the present time.

I described in such detail who and where checked my calculator, so that it was clear that it really was faulty and the malfunction was fatal without replacing the microcircuit, processor. And at the same time, he restored his functions. At first I did not tell anyone how I repaired it, because there was no acceptable explanation.
Later, correspondents of the Izvestia newspaper came to our area. In a conversation with one of them, photojournalist V. N. Mashatin, I touched upon the topic of the Uri Geller phenomenon. He told me an incident that happened to him. During a televised Uri Geller session, he put a faulty coffee grinder with a burned-out electric motor in front of the TV. The coffee grinder was imported. It could not be repaired in the workshop due to the lack of such engines. And here V. N. Mashatin's coffee grinder started working after the session. He also did not have any explanation for this.
Uri Geller himself said that there is no magic and sorcery in these influences. He explained that it was not he who started the faulty watches and other household appliances, but the viewer himself, with his PSI forces. Uri Geller considers the potential of these hidden forces to be limitless. He considers dowsing (biolocation) to be one of the manifestations of the PSI forces and gives an example that while visiting Australia he was surprised by the number of people who possess this art. Australia is one of the driest continents in the world, and residents are forced to drill deep wells in search of drinking water. But even the most mundane "cocci" (as they call the lonely farmers cut off from the big world) would not even think to invite a special expert with a forked willow vine to find water. Each of them does it himself. At the same time, he will not think at allthat he did something paranormal. This is a common thing for him.
Uri Geller believes that in order to reveal PSI forces in a person, he needs to have an open and unbiased mind. It should be remembered that PSI forces are all-encompassing. He refers to the forms of manifestation of these forces telepathy, telekinesis, poltergeist, extrasensory methods of treatment, seances, reincarnation, and something else.
