What kind of experiments?

Mostly psychology. I'm particularly interested in experiments that would have political implications.

Why do you want to know about them in advance?

Because I want to be able to look at them and decide what kind of results would support a theory verses undermine it, before I (and the world) becomes biased by the actual results.

Interesting. Maybe you can give examples of past experiments that had "political implications" and what theory they may have falsified.
