Radin surveys the origins of this research and explores, among many topics, the collective premonitions of 9/11. In this illuminating book, Radin shows how we know that psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis are real, based on scientific evidence from thousands of controlled lab tests. Could a similar entanglement of minds explain our apparent psychic abilities? Dean Radin, senior scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, believes it might. Albert Einstein called entanglement spooky action at a distance - the way two objects remain connected through time and space, without communicating in any conventional way, long after their initial interaction has taken place. But the latest scientific research shows that these phenomena are both real and widespread, and are an unavoidable consequence of the interconnected, entangled physical reality we live in. ![]() Is everything connected? Can we sense what's happening to loved ones thousands of miles away? Why are we sometimes certain of a caller's identity the instant the phone rings? Do intuitive hunches contain information about future events? Is it possible to perceive without the use of the ordinary senses? Many people believe that such psychic phenomena are rare talents or divine gifts. ![]() Escaping from houdini kerri maniscalco5/13/2023 ![]() But with clues to the next victim pointing to someone she loves, can Audrey Rose unravel the mystery before the killer's horrifying finale?
