Rupert Sheldrake is a British former biochemist and plant physiologist who now researches and writes on parapsychology and other controversial subjects. His books and papers stem from his theory of morphic resonance, and cover topics such as animal and plant development and behaviour, memory, telepathy and perception.

In 2003, Sheldrake published The Sense of Being Stared At on the psychic staring effect, including an experiment where blindfolded subjects guessed whether persons were staring at them or at another target. He reported that, in tens of thousands of trials, the scores were consistently above chance (60%) when the subject was being stared at, but only 50% (random chance) when the subject was not being stared at. This suggested a weak sense of being stared at but no sense of not being stared at. He also claimed that these experiments were widely repeated, in schools in Connecticut and Toronto and a science museum in Amsterdam, with consistent results.

  • I'm glad scientists like Sheldrake are around to question the scientific establishment and pursue their own theories even without common acceptance.

    Rupert's a brave man. The world is a much better place with him in it.

  • He does suggest that quantum physics might have something to do with this. Have you heard about the Penrose-Hameroff Hypothesis on Quantum Consciousness? It is called Orchestrated Objective Reduction.

  • @MsPennyDrop Now try to see if you can see what he is doing? Then project and recieve information with each other if you can.

  • @Taors after i sent u that i found the related video of wear he got stabbed WTF

  • @Taors Yes, hopefully he doesn't die in some sort of "accident."

  • I can tell who is calling alot of the time, almost every time I know who it will be if it's som1 that i know

  • Ab so lute ly! As animals process at different rates then we do. Give your animal a command and wait if you repeat the command over and over their response is going to be just as fast as when you first said it.

  • cont;- other limitations, as -physical ones- in comparison to the human being that inhibits it from expressing what is -on it's mind..remembering, the mind not being limited to the size of the brain.

  • does the mind ultimately have anything to do with the size of the brain? Think of it like this..if the brain is only a transmitter/receiver OF the mind, then, does size matter? Computers in the 50's were the sizes of houses, but were still not more effective then a microchip today doing the job of maybe a thousand computers combined from the 50's. Therefore, maybe the size of a parrots brain does not imply that it's mind is more limited then a human beings for example, the parrot simply -cont;-

  • @Taors spot on! the -common- scientific community has just made another "established religion" of itself and are basically just a bunch of closed minded dinosaurs these days..so boring to listen to their -ESTABLISHED theories- like the Big Bang, that is taught basically at every single University as being the ultimate truth..yet, still to this day called - THEORY...people forget the meaning of that word a LOT.. Scientists like Sheldrake are needed in order for any forward thinking to happen.
