How might this “spooky,” nonlocal entanglement relate to consciousness? Dr. Dean Radin, the chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, suggests in his 2006 book, Entangled Minds, “that we take seriously the possibility that our minds are physically entangled with the universe.” He concedes: “I’m not claiming that quantum entanglement magi

elaborated upon by Dr. Kelly: “Few working psychologists and neuroscientists, let alone the public at large, have any conception of the fundamental significance of quantum theory. Classical concepts and approximations are often sufficient to support the concerns of the special physical sciences, and quantum

Quantum mechanics holds that matter may not be as innocent of mind as the materialist would have us believe. For example, a subatomic particle can exist simultaneously in multiple locations, is pure possibility, until it is measured—that is, perceived by a mind. Only then and not a moment sooner does it drop into reality as we know it: acquire fixe

They are only paranormal or anomalous if we assume that consciousness comes from the brain. They make no sense in th
