Psi Research

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...

There is more than sufficient bibliography proving the existence of precognition, clairvoyance, and psi in general, including in mainstream peer-reviewed journals. But why do most people still doubt their existence? One of the most extraordinary phenomena, which at the same time is very easy to verify is precognition through dreams. All one needs to do is to have a good sleep, and then to take a few minutes to write down all dream details upon waking up. This improves memory retrieval and leaves a useful record. By assiduous practice, one will often notice real-life events that have an extraordinary resemblance to recent dreams, hardly attributable to any coincidence. This phenomenon has been known since ancient times and there are multiple records, reports, and testimonies about it. From mainstream media, it is easier to hear about aliens than about these natural and common abilities. Much of the research done in these fields is labeled as parapsychology, which is regarded with di...

There are several must-read books about precognitive dreams, which I will review briefly below. John William Dunne, An experiment with time, 1927 Dunne (1875-1949) was a British aeronautical engineer who made several innovative aircraft designs; nevertheless, he became famous not for them but for his philosophical books and especially for "An experiment with time". The title of the book refers to an experiment that consists of keeping records of dreams and looking for correlations between them and subsequent events. He describes and analyzes with the pedanticism of a scientist a number of amazing coincidences between dreams and real posterior events, and proposes a theory to explain them. That theory, called serialism, suggests that there are multiple nested universes, having different timelines and while our brains inhabit only one of them, our consciousness can travel among them, thus obtaining information from different timelines. Serialism has had a great repercussion a...

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 ...
