At 10:29 AM 1/28/98 -0800, Tim May thoughtfully expounded thus: [Info on various quantum effects snipped]
More info in the sources named. Avoid the pop science treatments by Nick Herbert, unless other, more mainstream sources are also consulted at the same time. And definitely avoid the "psi" nonsense of Jack Sarfatti.
Gribbin's books are pretty good.
While Sarfatti may be a bit whacko. PSI is proving to be anything but
nonsense.
I agree that there is a _lot_ of "sheep & goats" effect in the literature,
but I think Ed May's critiques of the AIR study of Remote Viewing done by
SAIC's Cognitive Sciences Laboratory (at http://www.lfr.org/csl/index.html
) are worth reading. MI analysts who did RV at Ft. Meade have received
commendations and medals for the intelligence they generated using RV.
FWIW
