Dr. Rupert Sheldrake isn’t your typical Cambridge-educated biologist. For instance, in his new book, Science Set Free, he lays out a convincing argument: Science is only cheating itself by dismissing the spiritual and otherworldly phenomenon that so many people experience.
One experiment Dr. Sheldrake created to examine these kinds of moments is called the “Mobile Telephone Telepathy Test.” You know how you think of someone and suddenly the phone rings, you look at the caller i.d. and it’s that person?
“For a hundred years since the invention of the telephone, the scientific world dismissed it,” Sheldrake told us. His test shows the statistical validity of such hunches.
“Someone gives us the names of four people. We pick one at random and ask that person to call. The subject guesses who it will be. They’re right about 45 percent of the time, which is very significant statistically.” You can participate in his experiment here: Mobile Telephone Telepathy Test
Let us know if you correctly guessed your mystery caller!
