About physics as relations, causality (influence) flowing both forward and
backward in time, and how this might explain certain (well-confirmed, but
poorly understood) physical phenomena often called "psi".
Also discusses the important connection to EPR phenomena in quantum physics.
Presented at the Society for
Scientific Exploration conference, San Diego, June 2001.
Among the most difficult yet tantalizing anomalies
confronting science today are those usually called "psychic"
or "psi" phenomena. Laboratory evidence strongly suggests
that these well-confirmed but enigmatic phenomena are due to real
physical effects which are as yet poorly understood.
This paper presents a simple theory of relational
contraints (Link Physics) that predicts exactly the type of psi
phenomena which are often observed in controlled laboratory experiments
-- without requiring any new forces, fields, particles, or any other
major insult to established physical law within its proper domain.
To illustrate the theory, a simple hypothetical psi experiment is
described to explore the full implications of random processes interacting
in an environment where constraints may be present on both the past
and the future. This theory is testable, can help to clarify some
of the stranger aspects of quantum physics, gives new insight into
the nature of randomness and causality, and carries significant
implications for future science and for society as a whole.
