Billions of people pray at least once (some much more) a day. And nothing unphysical happens. So, in a hundreed years alone (Nobel prizes time)there were AT LEAST 1013 experiments with paranormal (praying to expect ANY changes due to prayer is experimenting with paranormal - attempts to see if it works) and not a single deviation from physical behavior of things (governed by conservation laws and other mathematical corollaries of symmetries) was observed.

Of course, there were (and are) plenty of hallucinations/ frauds/ religious businesses (pumping money out of stupid and keping them stupid by all possible means to keep the cash flowing). But none of unphysical phenomena.

Nobel prize remains 1013 times unawarded.
