Outside the Gates of Science Why It's Time for the Paranormal to Come in from the Cold

Until very recently, the paranormal--literally, "beyond the normal," as manifested by fantasies of telepathy, remote viewing, psychokinesis, and "pre-sentiment," or the prediction of future events--has comfortably been relegated by reasonable folk to the stuff of fiction. But as twenty-first century science explores what appears to be the "real" worlds of quantum mechanics--where, for example, one particle can be in two places at the same time--what has heretofore been the impossible becomes not only possible but an actual part of our strange universe. In Outside the Gates of Science, award-winning author Damien Broderick, PhD, a novelist and editor who explores the near and deep future, investigates the possible relationship between parapsychology and quantum (and other) physics. Here is a serious but popular treatment of paranormal claims and current attempts to explain these mysterious phenomena. Broderick has been in direct contact with the major players in this curious realm of study, including the scientific director of the classified US government--supported study known under various codenames and, under the name Stargate, shut down in 1995 by the CIA. But the research continues, now privately funded. Can we predict the future by merely thinking about it? Read other minds, project ourselves out of our bodies? Outside the Gates of Science suggests we just might be able to do so....Broderick, Damien is the author of 'Outside the Gates of Science Why It's Time for the Paranormal to Come in from the Cold', published 2007 under ISBN 9781560259862 and ISBN 1560259868.
