Report on the Barnhouse Effect - Vonnegut - Dimension X
"Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is the first short story written and published by American writer Kurt Vonnegut. It originally appeared in the February 11, 1950 issue of Collier's Weekly. In 1952, the story was included in the science fiction anthology Tomorrow, the Stars, edited by Robert A. Heinlein. It is also part of the collection Welcome to the Monkey House, published in 1968.
The story was adapted for broadcast on NBC's Dimension X radio program. The episode first aired on April 8, 1950
The story takes the form of a report written by an ex-student of the story's protagonist, Professor Arthur Barnhouse. A year and a half before the writing of the report the professor develops the ability to affect physical objects and events through the force of his mind; he comes to call this power "dynamopsychism", while the press adopts the term "the Barnhouse effect". When Barnhouse makes the mistake of informing the US government of his newfound abilities, they try to turn him into a weapon
