    You should question all information no matter where or from whom it comes, but not automatically discount information just because it does not come from the traditional or official sources. Do not know what you mean by "real science". Science happens everywhere all the time. Have we not learned our lessons from blindly following Dr. Fauci's and his official science.
    When I stated that I though the "science" behind it was different, I should have said that my assumption was that it was the resonance within the skull that amplified the signal. Her demonstration shows that possibly it has more to do with water content than bone. But on the other hand, it may be the resonating of the water container she is holding. The next step would be to see if it worked with a bag of water........or simply Google it. Either way, I have found that I no longer need to know exactly how everything works and just take comfort in knowing that it does work and I can double check that my car is locked from across the parking lot. When it no longer works from a distance, I know that it is time for new batteries....or perhaps I am getting dehydrated.

    Last Saab I drove was a 1963, model 96. Loved the ride.

    A friend had a really sweet Saab 900. Introduced me to heated seats in the winter which were unimaginable luxury at the time.

    Around the same time we had an old '75 Pugeot 504 sedan that we thought was the height of luxury. (looked just like this, except it was green https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeo...muiden_(2).jpg ) Front seats, if you puled out the headrest folded all the way back to meet up with the back seat to make a comfy bed. Also the only power windows I've ever seen that had a manual back up. There was a little plastic plug where the crank handle would have been, and the car came with a little t-handled took that fit on the splined shaft so you could crank the window open or shut if you had no power.

    That was a true touring sedan.

    I had a 1985 Peugeot 505 turbo, the most amazing leather seats and surprisingly fast for a 200 h.p. car...tonnes of torque once the thing (eventually) spooled up.

    Like Saabs, Peugeots have a number of "features" that are sometimes referred to as 'easter eggs' because so many people stumble upon them not knowing they exist.

    1961 Facel Vega had power windows with a manual crank that was stored in the glove compartment.

    And speaking of Saabs, don't even try to find the clutch. Even Saab doesn't know where it is...

    I just went out to the garage and checked, yup it's still right near where your left foot goes.
