Rupert Sheldrake’s “heretical” hypothesis turns 40
The history of science is peppered with “heretics.” Galileo is a classic example, as Maddox pointed out, apparently blind to the irony. The physicist David Bohm–who was sympathetic to Sheldrake's proposal–is another: the man Einstein called his “spiritual son,” and whose ideas so perturbed Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb,” that he remarked “if we cannot disprove Bohm, then we must agree to ignore him”. A recent case is the astronomer Avi Loeb, a professor of science at Harvard, whose openness to entertaining evidence of extraterrestrial intelligent life has become a subject of bad‐tempered dispute. Some heretics turn out to be right, others do not. The jury is still out on Sheldrake, Bohm and Loeb.
Deep Reality – Matzke & Tiller
The deep reality explored by this book combines these two ideas (QC + AI) in a conversational style between two world renowned PhD scientists. We propose that our quantum minds exist independently of and interact with our individual brains. We support this model by reviewing the research where people have directly interacted with other quantum and probabilistic systems.
Imaginal Inspirations with David Lorimer – Jeffrey Kripal
Jeffrey Kripal is an author and Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University. His latest book, The Flip, synthesises neuroscience, ecology, quantum physics, evolutionary biology, philosophy of mind and comparative mysticism with his own personal experiences. Its aim is to bring humanity back into the humanities.
