Scientific Grounds For Precognition

Abstract

I will show that there exist within modern Quantum Mechanics and modern String Theory some valid grounds for a scientific study of Precognition known as Parapsychology.

A New Quantum Theoretical Framework for Parapsychology

Chris J. Clarke

An account is given of a recent proposal to complete modern quantum theory by adding a characterisation of consciousness. The resulting theory is applied to give mechanisms for typical parapsychological phenomena, and ways of testing it are discussed.

Temporal Translation of Matter Exploring the Theoretical Foundations for Backward and Forward Temporal Translation of Matter Inferred from Remote Viewing and Precognition Findings

Benjamin J. Amorim Boyle

This paper explores the possibility that matter may be capable of traveling through time, an idea derived from the convergence of anomalous findings in parapsychological research and advanced theoretical interpretations in contemporary physics. Studies in precognition and remote viewing—despite their controversial status—have repeatedly produced results suggesting that information can be accessed outside the conventional forward flow of time. Interpreted within a physicalist paradigm where information is inextricably tied to energy and matter, these anomalies imply that if information can move temporally backward and forward, then energy and mass may also achieve temporal displacement. While quantum mechanics and relativistic models of spacetime do not categorically exclude retrocausality, the extrapolation of this concept from intangible information flows to the tangible realm of matter demands rigorous scrutiny. This paper integrates the empirical record from parapsychological experiments with the theoretical foundations of mass-energy equivalence and quantum retrocausality to propose a conceptual framework for matter’s temporal translation. In acknowledging the speculative nature of this endeavor, it nonetheless aims to motivate more systematic investigations, encourage interdisciplinary discourse, and clarify the methodological and theoretical challenges that must be overcome. Ultimately, this analysis seeks to open a constructive dialogue on whether the once-unthinkable notion of matter traversing time may merit a place within the broader tapestry of contemporary physical theory.

Arguments for Recognizing the Future as Non-Probabilistic: Considerations in the Framework of a Hypothesized Precognition Theory

Thorsten Dahmen

The debate on whether the future is predetermined (fixed) or probabilistic (uncertain) dates back to ancient times but is still ongoing. An essential basis in this paper is the view that a conclusive answer can neither be drawn exclusively from physics nor additionally from philosophical modes of argumentation. It is considered necessary to take a transtemporal process of cognition, which is in parapsychology termed precognition, into account. This brings in the new aspect that predictability no longer needs to be synonymous with computability and the analytic describability of causal event chains, which also has an impact on the meaning of the terms that are used. Furthermore, this allows a superior timeless perspective that invalidates the logic from the present-time perspective and extends the concept of observability and reality. Since both subjects are interrelated and cannot be considered independently of each other, a psychophysical hypothesis about how precognition interacts with the future is an integral part of this proposal, its experimental verification is described. This encompasses explanations of how logical paradoxes, which are often attributed to precognition, do not exist and how intelligible information can be consistently shared between the present and the future in four-dimensional spacetime. The argumentation for a non-probabilistic, fixed future comprises the physical point of view, referencing special relativity theory and quantum theory, but considers the nonphysical aspects of the mind with the same matter-of-factness. A similar conclusion that the future is deterministic is not asserted since this term combines causality and predictability in an inscrutable way by making complex assumptions that are not precisely and uniformly defined. A closer description of the problem reveals that the frequently used keywords “deterministic” and “probabilistic” lose their usual meaning if the frame of reference given here is acknowledged. Therefore, many reservations that consider only a probabilistic future as reasonable might be unnecessary.
