Mad science?


While many people's reaction to this is likely to be outrage at the money we're wasting, In This Economy, researching pipe-dream theories... this is actually the sort of thing I love.

Wired Magazine outlines six of the most out-there fields being studied today.

My three favorites?
  1. Precognition (Daryl Bem, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Cornell University)
  2. Disembodied Consciousness (Edward Kelly, Research Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences, University of Virginia)
  3. Telekinesis (Garret Moddel, Professor of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, University of Colorado at Boulder)
Seriously, if there's a future out there where these notions become reality, sign me up!
