Since the birth of quantum mechanics, there has been a huge debate among physicists as to how it should be interpreted, whether it is complete and whether the spooky quantum effects observed can be explained within the framework of existing knowledge. Some of the interpretations are really exotic, bordering science fiction. (From Wikipedia article Interpretations of quantum mechanics )     Also, there is an ongoing effort to create a unifying theory, encompassing quantum mechanics, relativity, and gravity, the best attempt being M-theory, the theory unifying all existing string theories. However, M-theory is not widely accepted yet, because it is insufficiently developed and incomplete, as quantum mechanics (which is supposedly part of it) is. Parapsychology has managed to prove convincingly the existence of phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition, but it has failed to convince the public and the mainstream scientific community. This so to such ...

It has been given multiple names. The most used ones are variants of universal or cosmic consciousness or mind . Psychologist Carl Jung called it the Collective Unconscious . One of the fathers of quantum mechanics, Erwin Schrödinger was obsessed with the concept of Brahman used in the Sanskrit writings of the Upanishads. The physicist, engineer, and inventor Nikola Tesla and the philosopher Erwin Laszlo popularized the terms Akasha , also borrowed from ancient Sanskrit philosophy. The Chinese call it Tao. Even the concept of God , present in every culture appears to refer to the same entity. All these terms sound very abstract at first sight, but they imply a perfectly real manifestation in real life: the capacity of us humans (and possibly of any living organism) to access any information, past, present or future anywhere in space-time, absurd this might sound to our conscious and presumably rational minds. The concept is similar to that of a hologram, containing all the inf...

Ultimately, Einstein’s quote “spooky action at a distance” appears in every single article discussing quantum entanglement developments. This phrase is always recalled in a context highlighting how strange quantum entanglement is and often appears to suggest that Einstein did not accept the phenomenon due to its puzzling nature, as if he were not enough open-minded to consider such phenomena. Let us see why that was not exactly the case. The quote is often attributed to his famous paper " Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality be Considered Complete ?" written in collaboration with Podolski and Rosen (often called APR after the initials of the authors). With that paper, they actually hypothesized for the first time the existence of quantum entanglement, based on the latest developments in quantum mechanics, and on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in particular. However, the famous phrase "spooky action at a distance" is not from that pape...

Blindfold viewing, mindsight, eyeless sight, seeing without eyes: seeing one’s immediate surroundings without using one’s eyes. This can be considered as a form of OBE without the sensation of leaving the body. An old and misleading term for the same phenomenon is dermo-optical vision . Clairaudience : the supposed faculty of perceiving, as if by hearing, what is inaudible. Clairaudient : derived adjective. Clairsentience:  perception of what is not normally perceptible. Clairvoyance : the faculty of perceiving things or events independently on distance and time spacing. Cognition : the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses. Controlled remote viewing  ( CRV ): A remote viewing protocol developed by Stanford Research Institute as an intelligence-gathering method for CIA, DIA, and a number of other US governmental organizations. The protocol involves the perception of all sorts of sensory i...

The idea of creating registries to record multiple premonitions before they come true is probably centuries old. In the last 50 years or so, at least ten such registries have been created but none of them has gained much popularity and currently only one of them is active.  BRITISH PREMONITIONS BUREAU (Dr. John Barker) In 1967, English psychiatrist Dr. John Barker established that registry following a carbon avalanche in Welsh village Aberfan that had killed over 130, mostly children while studying in the local school and the reports of many people that they or their children had foreseen the accident. Barker recollected hundreds of premonitions, in the form of letters, 24 of which really impressed him and he published them in a parapsychology journal [John C. Barker, “Premonitions of the Aberfan Disaster,” Journal of the Society of Psychical Research, 44 (1967): 169–181].      CENTRAL PREMONITION REGISTRY (Robert Nelson) This registry was ...
