What Quantum Mechanics (QM) and Remote Viewing (RV) have in common is that
they both involve entanglement- where in QM it refers to particle entanglement and
in RV to consciousness entanglement.
• “QM deals with particles such as electrons and particles of light, called photons.
Particle entanglement means that local measurements by an experimenter on a
particle will instantaneously interact with an entangled particle - no matter how
far apart the particles are. Einstein's famous insight that mass cannot travel faster
than the speed of light (this is the "local" environment) does not extend to
information about entangled particles...some information transfer does occur
instantaneously.
• RV deals with target information
processed by human consciousness
such as sights, sounds, smells,
feelings, tastes and concepts.
Consciousness entang lement
means that local intentions by a
viewer on target information will
instantaneously interact with
entangled target information - no
matter how far apart the viewer
and target are. Information from
entangled consciousness appears Information from the Future and the
available all the time.” Transactional Model of QM
Remote Viewing experimental result from Princeton University show that nonlocal
precognitive (future information) connections are, in fact, also part of our reality.
