Imagine you are reading a fantasy novel and a sorcerer has guarded his castle by putting a dragon at each of the four gates. But the novel's hero knows for a fact that the sorcerer only has one real dragon, so the other three dragons must be illusions. Q: Which dragon is the real dragon? The...

A Short Story with a twist from several years ago: 'http://cryptopian.com/after.html'

http://phys.org/news/2014-01-discovery-quantum-vibrations-microtubules-corroborates.html A review and update of a controversial 20-year-old theory of consciousness published in Physics of Life Reviews claims that consciousness derives from deeper level, finer scale activities inside brain...

This is a delayed reply, but ... Two quotes I find interesting in the article: 1. But the new amplituhedron research suggests space-time, and therefore dimensions, may be illusory anyway. 2. “In a sense, we would see that change arises from the structure of the object,” he said. “But it’s...

Quantum Physicist Amit Goswami (I just posted a link to his documentary in a separate post) believes, based on evidence from physics, that consciousness came first, and that consciousness creates matter, not the other way around. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amit_Goswami

This is a documentary movie that's available on Netflix streaming, and at http://www.quantumactivist.com/. Quantum physicist Amit Goswami, author of a number of books, including one of the leading textbooks used by universities to teach quantum physics, talks about why matter is the result of...

I think that might be the wrong question. It's kind of like asking what gives space its space, or what gives energy its energy. I believe that the universe is made of some very basic stuff that simply "is". Mass and energy, as two forms of the same thing, make up one the basic building blocks of...

I'm pleased that you're pleased. :) I tend to wander off and do something different from time to time, but I always seem to find my way back here. I'm looking forward to the book, because, as you say, for a scientist, especially a neurologist to be willing to look seriously at the facts of...

I've always had the opposite; the need to toss things out. Things I haven't used for a while get taken to the thrift store. I'm 66 and while most people have heaps and piles of "stuff" by my age, I could pack everything I own into the back of my sub-compact car and drive away. Ever since I was...

Very interesting. I'm listening to the interviews in the "Audios and Videos" section and his story is a compelling one for sure. I'm especially struck by the "hyper-reality" aspect of the story. So many NDE experiencers report this feeling of the NDE being more real than reality.

A very interesting lecture on the connection between Physics and the Paranormal, ESP, Remote Viewing, etc., this video is a lecture given by an MIT physics professor at the MIT Museum. http://www.forum-network.org/lectures/how-hippies-saved-physics/ It's interesting to see that modern...

I read a book back around 1959*, and no, I can't remember the title or author, that put forth the idea that "consciousness" and "thought" are two very different things. Consciousness is what makes us aware of thought, but thought does not require consciousness to happen. Then consciousness might...

I drop in from time to time, but I should drop in more often. Now that I'm retired my huge collection of hobbies keeps me very busy! :) For as long as I can remember I've been interested in artificial intelligence. I started designing my first "robot brain" when I was about 10 years old...

I read the book several years ago and was very impressed by it. I consider it to be good science. By way of contrast, I think the books I've read on hypnotic regression are bunk, so I'm not easily swayed. --gary

Many years ago, somewhere around 1980 as I recall, I wrote a science fiction short story about that. (no, it was never published. I wrote it for fun.) A brilliant but aging computer scientist is working on a project to create the most advanced artificial intelligent computer. But before he could...

An interesting article on why people, in general, don't trust science: http://www.theness.com/neurologicablog/?p=1994

I agree. I've seen some very amazing results with Ouija. As for spirit photos, I have no doubt some are genuine. One site I visited had these guidelines for spirit photos. 1) They should be taken with a film camera, not a digital camera, 2) The camera lens should have a lens hood to prevent...

Grumpy curmudgeon that I am, I'm convinced that orbs are a purely optical phenomenon happening in the camera lens. To be more convincing I'd like to see two or three cameras of different brands mounted together and pointing at the same place all take a picture at the same instant and see if...

Welcome! I like your "In a nutshell" idea, so I tried to see if I could put my own past life recall into a nut shell. I'm not at all sure about some of these, because they are just fragments. A Buddhist monk in western China or Tibet. Time unknown. A musician and puppeteer with a traveling...
