Theory about how a successful scientific analysis could be performed to prove or disprove aura as the current methods aren't very scientific due to the scientists trying to get the results they expect.
[edit]It has recently come to my attention that 2 aura readers will see the same colors in a persons aura. So to prove the existence of aura you just have to get 2 aura readers in separate rooms where they cant hear each other and ask them to read their own auras in front of a scientist. then they have to go to the same room without telling each other what they saw and read each others auras. if both instances of each persons auras being read line up, then aura is real, if they don't then it means aura isn't real, of course it wont disprove my method of reading aura as I use a completely different technique. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.49.192.157 (talk • contribs) 17:55, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- Conduct the experiment and get it published in a reputable journal, and it can be mentioned in this article. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:00, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, a meta-analysis of several such studies would be needed. I do not think a single study is usable in Wikipedia for such an extraordinary claim.
- Just trying to avoid later accusations of goalpost-shifting. --Hob Gadling (talk) 07:23, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

– Primary topic by both pageviews and longterm significance. According to views, the symptom is the only thing that even gets close to the views of the paranormal/spiritual topic, and the name of the symptom is clearly based on the paranormal occurrence/fictional concept (it is about seeing "auras" in front of things like the supposed energy field). The mythological goddess might be able to compete for longterm significance, but is only a minor goddess. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:54, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. The first thing I think of personally is the symptom, but I am close to someone who gets migraine headaches. I'm not sure there is a primary topic here, but I would support moving Aura (paranormal) and Aura (symptom) to the top of the disambiguation page, similar to the Georgia disambiguation page, as those are the two most likely topics someone searching for "aura" is searching for.

- Oppose: no one usage is obvious PT, but I've boldly added the two most common usages to the top of the page as suggested by previous posting. PamD 07:57, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. I see no primary topic with respect to long-term significance, and there certainly isn't any with respect to usage either. The nom's pageviews link already hints at that clearly enough (maybe a reminder that it's not enough for the top article to be receiving more traffic than the one in second place, it needs to receive more traffic than all the others combined), but that's more unambiguously revealed from actual usage data [1]: only a small proportion of visitors to the dab page clicked the link for the paranormal phenomenon. – Uanfala (talk) 11:16, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose the paranormal topic gets 10,602 views but the symptom gets 6,940, the mythology gets 1,959, the Asia album gets 1,197 and the Miles Davis album gets 1,106[[2]] and there are more than just these uses. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:01, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per all but rearranging the dab page is fine Red Slash 19:46, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- SNOW Oppose the DAB page has been fixed to highlight the two primary meanings. The paranormal term is probably more common than the medical term, but it isn't enough more common to be the primary topic when there are dozens of less-common terms as well.

[edit]Maybe we should add a section of rappers with the most aura 201.178.53.215 (talk) 15:01, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
"Kirlian photo"
[edit]The text below one of the images says, A Kirlian photo showing an artistic representation of a man in the Lotus position, surrounded by a blue glow
.
What does that mean? Did somebody really draw a man in the Lotus position, then made a Kirlian photo of it? Isn't it rather "an artistic representation of a man in the Lotus position, surrounded by a Kirlian-photo-style blue glow"? --Hob Gadling (talk) 12:33, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
