Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in Quantum Reality by Dean Radin

[snugglekitty]

I got this book because I wanted to find out more about how the author feels quantum theory relates to psychic phenomena. I was disappointed that the vast majority of the book was dedicated to "proving" the existence of psychic phenomena - X experiment got Y results and thus we can conclude that clairvoyance is possible, and the like. (I skimmed those parts.) I do believe in psychic phenomena, but I don't think that experiments like these are going to change the minds of people in power. When the scientific community is entrenched on a particular point, it takes a lot to move it. Folks will always say that the sample size isn't large enough, the outcome isn't statistically significant, it's not reproducible... if the study is even funded in the first place. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'd be surprised.

As to the quantum theory part - "New Realities" and "Theories of Psi" - I found it interesting, but I'll admit that I don't feel I understand much more than I did when I started the book. Maybe after I have read Introducing Quantum Theory I can re-read that section and it will take me further.
