It depends on how well you know the person.  If you suspect someone is lying just ask round about questions on the subject in question and see how different the answers are.  Works like a charm.

I don't think the lie detector test is that reliable. It could seriously fluctuate at times when the person is telling the truth, and probably do nothing when they're lying... all b/c it's based on the body response. I'd say a "professional" can have the last word on the defendants behavior. Psychologists can be reliable and seriously determine someones actions and behavior and possible future predictions based on facts and what they see and hear.

One's truth may be another's lie.

If we count sundials, we are talking ancients.  Even water clocks and timed candles (with lines on them for how long it burns in an hour) are pretty ancient.

Of course, Lie Detectors can record if a person is saying "Yes" when they know the correct answer is "No" based on changes in  breathing rate and skin conductivity.  It is "no sweat" to tell the honest truth <G>.  Also functional MRI's can peer into a human brain and estimate what brain function is operating above steady state, by detecting increases in blood flow to a known brain area.  If that can be equated to "yes" or "no" for a given individual, it may replace lie detectors.

There are no hidden 'facts'.  A few years ago we had the movie Stigmata revealing a hidden Gospel.  It turns out to be the Gospel of Thomas, readily available at any Barnes and Noble.  The Church certainly did a good job of suppressing that one.  Dan Brown 'unearths' the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, a Gnostic Gospel similarly in print for many centuries.  I have a copy myself.  It is in a Collection titled "Hidden Gospels".  It has not been suppressed.  It is simply not believed by mainstream Christians.  Most recently we have the Gospel of Judas.  This is another Gnostic Gospel condemned by early Church leaders at least as early as 180 A.D.  These are all historical documents that have been known to scholars for many years.  They have been on the dustheap for all those years simply because they haven't been seen as credible by any reasonable historian or theologian.

This book gives tactics and backgrounds based on psychological principles: Never Be Lied To Again : How to Get the Truth In 5 Minutes Or Less In Any Conversation Or Situation \n\nAmazon dot com says:\n"Never Be Lied to Again is bursting with tested tips like this for quickly determining when you're being boondoggled. Body language, facial expressions, sentence structure, and word choice can all reveal when someone is lying, says psychologist David J. Lieberman, and he includes 46 of these "clues to deception" to help you, including tricks for framing questions without putting others on the defense."\n\nThe biggest single thing I got out of this book is what I call "wishful thinking." I wanted something to be true, so I ignored the clues that I was getting. I really knew the truth, I just didn't want to accept it.

A brain mapper records electric activity in the brain during various tests or while exposing the person to different stimuli.\n\nA lie detector measures body temperature, heart rate, etc. while exposing a person to different stimuli (asking questions).

When looking for a scam, you need to know what a person does when they are telling the truth. If a person uses their hands when they talk, or their eyes dart around when they are having a comfortable conversation, you can calibrate their mannerisms, voice, tempo and eyes for honesty. Notice their normal mannerisms when you know they are answering the easy questions and telling the truth. This is the most critical part.\nWhen you suspect that someone is lying, you will compare their dishonest response to the way they respond when telling the truth. \nHands, head position, voice level, eye positions, shoulders, everything will be a signal when you know what to look for. \nYou need to make note of the differences in behavior that shows that an internal conflict is happening. When there is a conflict, the brain does not respond normally. It creates signals that make it impossible for the person to keep the same mannerisms, voice tone , head position, all in a congruent state as the lie is told.\nTypical body language that reveals an internal conflict: \nHands over mouth \nHand to nose\nHand to ear\nHands or fingers moving, wringing, tapping\nHead tilt to side\nHead turned away\nBody moving backwards\nBlink rate increases\nPupils contract\nEyes go down to left or right\nEyelids stay closed during the answer\nVoice tone rises\nClearing the throat \n\nDo these things mean a person is lying? Not necessarily. \nIt depends on the calibration. Remember you are looking for the differences- the thing that the body does because there is an internal conflict that causes involuntary "leakage" of the emotional charge.\n\nWords can be a great indicator that a person is about to lie: \n\nAnswering your question with a question\nRepeating the statement, rather than answering\nSay "I am telling you the truth\n"I will not lie to you"\nAccusing "Are you saying I am lying?"\nStammering, stuttering, and pausing before answering\nPointing while answering\n\nThe sound of the voice\n\nVoice raises due to tightness of vocal chords.\nAnxiety makes voice squeaky or raspy\nMumbling\nEyes\n\nEye position\nBlink rate increasing\npupils contracting\nLooking down to left or right (depending on whether the person is right or left handed)\nEye twitch- involuntary \nStaring into your eyes (look for leakage immediately)\n\nThese signals alone do not mean a person is lying. If you have calibrated properly, you will see the immediate and obvious change, or combination of behaviours that mean they are lying. Remember, it is all about the way the person tells the truth, that will tell you when they are lying. \nSome people think that they can lie by looking you right in the eyes. But, guaranteed, something else will give. Even if they have practiced lying there will be a signal somewhere else. \nA face that lacks expression can be covering up the lie- but the lack of expression and the lack of micro muscle movements can be the dead giveaway. \n\nHope this helps!

The short answer is: they don't.  Many people go through life lying to others and some of these lies end up not being caught.  But when it comes down to it lies won't hold up to intensive investigation and the light of truth.\n\nIf someone has reason to suspect a fact or is curious enough they will eventually be able to find out any mistake, omission or outright lie as evidenced by these proverbs from around the world:\n\nlies walk on short legs.  (german)\none can't stop the spreading of lies with more of them.\na liar is not to be believed, even when he speaks the truth.\n\nhope this helps.

It seems to be a toss up between ancient Hindu scripture or some of the earliest Egyptian writings like the book of the dead.\n\nThe Hindu stuff is fascinating. It sounds like the same things that the quantum physics guys are saying. Makes you wonder how the Hindus knew this stuff 4000 years ago.\n\nLove and blessings Don

A few minutes of research and a basic understanding of probability should convince you that "messages" of any kind can be found in any sufficiently long piece of text using any kind of systematic text sampling technique.\n   By any kind of message, I mean just that. For any given statement, a statement that exactly contradicts the first statement is likely to be found along, as always, with a mind-boggling mountain of pure, random gibberish.\n\nAlthough it's best to determine these things for oneself, if an appeal to authority is convincing then here is a link to Caltech's mathematics department where 55 mathematicians have signed a document called, "Mathematicians' Statement on the Bible Codes"
