Synopsis
A book which gives scientific proof of the paranormal. Psychic activity, remote viewing, the power of prayer and homoeopathy are all discussed. The energy found in the vacuum - or the zero point field - seems to be the key to all sorts of unexplained phenomena: ESP or remote viewing, homeopathy, energy medicine, spiritual healing, and even the homing instincts of animals. Lynne McTaggart follows the life and work of disparate physicists, pioneers in the area where the paranormal meets quantum physics.

From the Publisher
A book which, like Capra's Tao of Physics, explores the latest offerings from the scientific community who have found an explanation for the supernatural. It promises to be one of the most successful popular science books of the year. Will appeal to readers of Frijof Capra, Arthur C. Clarke, Graham Hancock and those interested in the paranormal, energy medicine, and popular science

About the Author
Lynne McTaggart is author of What Doctors Don't Tell You and is founder of the successful newletter of that name. She is well known to the media.

Customer Reviews

Fascinating
Although written for the lay man, this book does take some concentration for those of us who have never studied physics. That said, it is well worth the effort. A fascinating read that will make you look at life, the world and the whole universe in a completely new way

wrong end of the trumpet...hmm?
I came across this book some years ago and, with a grounding in arts and only a couple of years of very elementary science, I cannot possibly comment on the current veracity of the ideas in it. The word 'science' is somewhat misleading deriving as it does from the Latin 'to know' whereas 'to guess' would provide a more honest root to this ever changing discipline.

It is some time since I read McTaggart but I recall it was an intersting read which triggered a tentative foray into Quantum Theory which sounded to me pretty much what the ancients and mystics had 'known' all along - although from my point of view McT was looking at things down the wrong end of the trumpet.

What Quantum seems to tell us is that there are no absolutes and that our thoughts, emotions and intentions form our experience of the 'material world'. Those still hooked on the idea of an 'absolute' (as I understand even Einstein was - spending the rest of his life trying to disprove his equation) will find refuge in religion of one sort or another... including science which has, for many, replaced older faiths.

So... having written this review of the book and talked it up, I suppose I'd better read it again to see if I agree with myself. Hey, ho...

Interesting, but not a particularly easy read
This book is full of interesting information, and cutting edge ideas based on new research into physics. However, I found it quite hard-going at times - the author's style isn't particularly readable. I often had to grit my teeth in determination just to make it to the end of a chapter - and unfortunately I gave up about two-thirds way through the book. I think this would be a great book in the hands of a more entertaining writer.
