The following are some highlights from a just published book by Rupert Sheldrake , " Science Set Free -10 Paths to new Discovery", published 2012
A brief background --- Rupert Shelrake is author or co author of 10 science related books, majored in biochemistry at Cambridge
University, was awarded the Frank Knox fellowship at the graduate school of Harvard, etc.
The general tone or direction of the book is that " science" is generally "materialistic" approaches "reality" with a straight
jacketed mind and is autocratic to the point of suppressing new and conflicting information and ideas. This suppression is accomplished
by using authority, peer pressure and funding denial. This to achieve the approved thinking AND the approved experimental results. Out of
the box topics, studies, and information are suppressed and/or ridiculed by the approved science establishment, and therefore by the general media and public.
The following are a few brief illustrations ---- which lead to interesting posed questions.
Morphogenetic fields,---
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB1OhJBbzkM -- fields that shape living things and impose order
in the larger environment and are not attenuated by distance in space and time, -- page 100.
Crystals that need to learn how to crystallize ---- Is so called inanimate unconscious matter really unconscious? Rupert does not imply that a chair has
thought but that matter at the molecular /atomic/subatomic level may not be truly unconscious. An the example -- page 102--- Xylitol,
a synthetic sweetener first created in 1891 and considered a liquid until 1942 when it first crystallized having a melting point of 61 degrees C.
After another few years, a different crystal form appeared with a melting point of 94 degrees C, and the first crystal form ceased to appear.
Various examples of telepathy --- page 242 ---- a village of "primitives", Bushman in the Kalahari Desert knowing about the success of a hunt and making preparations before the hunters returned with the kill.
What is the human brain? --- A hydrocephalic student gets a first class math degree from Sheffield University has a 126 IQ and brain mass of only 5% ( five per cent ) page 194.
[ Which leads to other questionable ideas, such as the down the rabbit hole ET statement -- that our brain is just a transceiver and our bodies are not us -- a transceiver to/for what? ]
In short a very interesting read.
