Except that allusions to purpose never quite fade from the scientific imagination. In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon …

Richard III – Queen Margaret

In an episode dedicated to a great Shakespearean, Mr John Branston, Sheldrake drifts slightly from the one-play-one-idea tagline to focus on one character in this play: Queen Margaret.

Presentiment: Waking Before Alarms, Making Millions Through Day Trading 50:50

Most people have had the experience of waking soon before an alarm clock goes off and some can even wake before a specified time without an alarm.

The Speed of Gravity 32:23

Isaac Newton is best known for his theory of gravity. And yet, the great scientist also insisted: "the cause of gravity is what I do not pretend to know.” In other words, notions like gravity, and force in general, are deeply mysterious phenomena.
