The Physics of the Paranormal

By Kenneth W. Behrendt

The Physics of the Paranormal is one of the few books in existence that actually explores, in depth, the physical mechanisms that may be in operation when various paranormal events occur. In order to provide these revolutionary insights, the author applied several concepts derived from his lifelong research into UFO propulsion and secondary effects. The application of these new physical principles to the paranormal reveals a fascinating unity in the mechanism in operation behind such apparently diverse phenomena as mental photography, psychokinesis, the Geller effects, bodily transfigurations, and miracle cures.

Based on some of the authors own experiences with telepathy, the book also explores this phenomenon, as well as its role in the process of reincarnation.

This book is not a compendium of case histories. It focuses on selected cases and seeks to provide the serious student of the subject with a conceptual framework that will guide future paranormal research well into the twenty-first century.

Introduction

This book is an attempt to bring the many and varied phenomena of the paranormal into the realm of understandable science. I realize that this is no easy task and the reader should therefore view what is to follow as the mere formulation of tentative working hypotheses for the topics treated. If paranormal phenomena (a term I use to collectively refer to all hyperphysical, psychic, parapsychological, supernatural, or supraphysical events) are ever to be included within the bounds of physical science, then research in the subject must progress far beyond the current voluminous compilation of case histories. Indeed, to eventually determine the physical truth regarding these events, we must initially engage in speculation which meets two basic criteria. Firstly, this speculation must not be random, but rather be guided by intuition toward the concepts which offer the greatest promise of advancement in paranormal science. Secondly and even more importantly, all proposals for the causative mechanisms of the various paranormal phenomena should be capable of experimental verification or denial.

It is an unfortunate fact that much of the material in this new area of human knowledge is subjective in nature and only rarely repeatable under laboratory conditions. This reality has discouraged most of the scientific orthodoxy from pursuing the subject.

The field has therefore been left to the private investigators who, through their writings, have done an excellent job of recording and preserving the data, but have not managed to significantly advance the theoretical basis of the subject which is necessary in order to rationalize its various effects and make them accessible to human reason.

It is my goal in this book to act as an intermediary in the current state of affairs that exists in present day paranormal science. I wish to play the role of a bridge between the scientific orthodoxy and the diligent private investigators. While not what one would normally call an orthodox scientist, I do have considerable training in the sciences of chemistry and physics…yet, on the other hand, while not being as intimately involved in the investigation of individual cases of the paranormal as the private psychic or paranormal researcher, I do, nevertheless, have some familiarity with their methods and the literature that they have produced. It is thus my hope that my hybrid capabilities will allow for the creation of a collection of concepts that will be seen to validate and rationalize the various paranormal phenomena that are treated herein.

Before ending this brief introduction, I should also give the reader some idea as to my motivation in producing a book that may correctly be perceived as an attempt to, at least partially, obtain the actual physics of the paranormal.

I can start by stating that my primary interest has been and still is the subject of UFOs or flying saucers, particularly the methods that might be used by our extraterrestrial visitors to propel their craft across the vast gulfs of space and through our planet’s atmosphere with enormous velocities and accelerations that seem to defy our known laws of physics. After a twenty year study of UFOs, my research had reached a level where I was obliged to begin the publication of a journal devoted to the topics of UFO propulsion and related effects. This journal, Annals of Ufological Research Advances or AURA, for short, presents a novel theory to explain UFO performance which is based on the assumption that our extraterrestrial visitors are able to generate a new kind of field effect in addition to the three readily measurable, natural field effects that current earthly science recognizes (note: these three field effects are the gravitational, electromagnetic, and nuclear field effects. Some scientists consider electric and magnetic fields to be separate field effects and also consider the nuclear fields to be due to electric and magnetic fields, but even in this case the total number of fields is only three).

In my past UFO related articles, I have referred to this extra alien field effect as the anti-mass field. This name is appropriate since once an anti-mass field is generated, it has the remarkable ability to actually weaken the normal gravitational and inertial properties of objects that are used to define their masses. We can imagine that all of the subatomic particles in the atoms of an object continuously emit an invisible form of nonelectromagnetic radiation that radiates out of the object in all directions at the speed of light. This nonelectromagnetic radiation constitutes the gravitational field or, more properly, the mass field of the object and it produces gravitational effects when it interacts with the mass fields of other objects or inertial effects when its emission pattern is distorted by the acceleration of the object. An artificially produced anti-mass field is able to negate the mass of an object because the anti-mass field can be thought of as having a polarity opposite to that of the natural mass field emitted by the object. If the two fields are superimposed, the net result is that the mass field radiated from the object is effectively diminished and can then produce less gravitational and inertial properties for the object and we would perceive the object as having lost mass.

If the object happens to be located near a planetary surface, then the object will lose weight as it loses mass due to the anti-mass field being artificially radiated from it. At some point the object will be so light that, if located in a planetary atmosphere, it will eventually weight less than the volume of air its form displaces. It will then rise in the atmosphere due to buoyancy and float about.

The reader may now realize how such a field effect would be utilized in UFO propulsion. The craft would carry within its hull a device that would function as an anti-mass field generator. This piece of equipment would artificially produce a strong anti-mass field that would negate or cancel the natural mass field of the craft and its crew. Once massless, such a craft could easily hover without any apparent means of support and very rapidly fly about the atmosphere if thrust forces are applied to its hull while the aerodynamic drag on the hull is greatly reduced. With no mass such a craft and its crew would be immune to the destructive inertial forces that affect massive objects as they violently accelerate or erratically maneuver. In past AURA articles, it was shown that, in space, the use of anti-mass fields will allow a massless spacecraft to easily accelerate past the light barrier so as to achieve enormous hyper-light velocities. In effect, the craft operates beyond or outside the limits of Einsteinian relativity to achieve velocities great enough to reduce interstellar and intergalactic transit times to a very small percentage of a crew member’s lifespan.

The reader may be wondering why I have dwelled so long on the propulsion of UFOs when this book is supposed to concern itself with the paranormal. The reason is that the above described concept of the anti-mass field has been very highly successful in rationalizing UFO behavior and, after giving the matter some thought, it occurred to me that the existence and properties of this new field effect had the potential to explain many of the so-called paranormal phenomena! By introducing this new concept into the field of paranormal science, it may be possible to put this subject on as firm a physical basis as is being done with the science of ufology in the pages of AURA.

To further equip the reader for the chapters to follow, it is now necessary to briefly describe the internal construction and operation of a typical anti-mass field generator used aboard most UFOs. The reader is cautioned to remember that what follows is hypothetical in nature and represents only my best estimation of the actual anti-mass field generator structures used based on my many years of research into the structures, performances, and other properties attributed to UFOs. While I can flatly state that I am 100% certain as to the reality of the anti-mass field, I can only rate my certainty for the method of producing it at about 99%. Thus, a rating of 100% for the design given must await the successful construction by humanity of working anti-mass field generators based on this design.

The important thing to remember about the anti-mass field effect, which my past research has indicated, is that it should be produced whenever a magnetic field is made to move along its field lines at right angles to an electric field. When these conditions are fulfilled either naturally or artificially, then the anti-mass field will radiate out into the surrounding space at right angles to both the magnetic and electric fields. Figure 1 shows a typical rotating anti-mass field generator with a section removed to show its interior detail. The unit consists of three basic components: (1) a large toroidal electromagnet consisting of insulated, metallic windings that, when carrying electrical current, produce a magnetic field at the core of the torus, (2) a toroidal tubular capacitor which, when electrically charged, holds layers of alternating electric fields at right angles to the magnetic field lines of the toroidal electromagnet’s magnetic field, and (3) a variety of bearings and motors which allow the entire torus to be physically rotated so as to cause the magnetic field at the core of the torus to move along its field lines at right angles to the toroidal tubular capacitor’s electric field.

The method of operation of this anti-mass field generator is actually quite simple. To produce the device’s anti-mass field, the pilots of the craft within which it is incorporated activate controls that allow electrical current drawn from fuel cells to flow through the windings of the toroidal electromagnet to establish a magnetic field at its core, allow high voltage current from high voltage direct current generators to establish electric fields between the toroidal plates of the toroidal tubular capacitor, and allow current to energize the drive motors that mechanically rotate the entire device so as to move its core magnetic field along its field lines at right angles to the electric fields inside the toroidal tubular capacitor.

Inside the torus, the moving magnetic field is everywhere orientated at right angles to the toroidal tubular capacitor’s electric fields. These conditions then produce the mass negating anti-mass field which radiates out into the region of space surrounding the anti-mass field generator. It is interesting to note that while an anti-mass field emanates out of the device to lower the masses of surrounding structures (such as a UFO and its crew), the electric and magnetic fields that produce this anti-mass field are completely contained within the torus of the device.

Although we need not concern ourselves with all of the intricacies of UFO propulsion systems, we do need to now note one additional property of the hypothetical anti-mass field. My research has indicated that while anti-mass fields can greatly lower the mass of an object, this process does not reduce the kinetic energy of the object. This property means that as a moving object loses mass in an intensifying anti-mass field, the object must also increase its rate of motion in order to conserve or keep constant the original kinetic energy it possessed.

The above material should be kept in mind by the reader as the remainder of this book is read and studied. There are also a variety of other strange effects associated with anti-mass fields which my research into UFO propulsion has indicated. These additional effects will be introduced and described as needed and we need not pursue them here.

Finally, I must warn the reader that the book they are about to read is not primarily intended for the very beginning student of the paranormal. You will not find a mere compendium of case histories herein. Specific cases will be cited to set the stage for a chapter’s material, but the accent is on providing solid theoretical foundations for the paranormal phenomena covered. Although no single volume treatment can hope to cover all of the recorded paranormal phenomena, I have tried to deal with topics in which there is wide interest and which seem to me to have the maximum probability of being real.

It is hoped that this book can serve the needs of those researchers who have progressed to the point where they are performing experiments with the paranormal in order to understand its ultimate causative mechanisms. Perhaps someday soon our detailed understanding of the various paranormal phenomena will allow us to make them serve the many immediate needs of humanity.

Chapter 1:

Mental Telepathy and Photography

In March of 1978 I joined a friend of mine and attended a small informal get together at his girlfriend’s apartment.

It was a pleasant evening and, as usually happens when I am present, the conversation inevitably got around to such things as UFOs and psychic phenomena. Because I do not have our hostess’s permission to do otherwise, I will hereafter refer to her by the pseudonym of Sarah.

At one point Sarah questioned my friend and myself about a psychic medium we had visited a few years before. This medium had sat down with first my friend and then myself and then for about twenty minutes or so with each of us proceeded to read the vibrations she sensed for each of our futures. My friend told Sarah that he had been very impressed with this medium’s abilities and that practically every prediction she had made for him had come to pass within a year of our visit to see her. I, however, had to tell Sarah that I was most unimpressed with the medium as virtually nothing she had said for me seemed to apply to my future.

As our get-together at Sarah’s continued, we wondered why there should be such a disparity in the results that our medium had given to us. I pointed out that the psychic was probably just guessing and was right as often as she was wrong, but, if this was the case, then she should have been only 50% correct in the reading she did for my friend. I then advanced the hypothesis that, like many such psychics I had seen, she was actually very adept at what is known as body reading; that is, she would make a general statement and then carefully observe the emotional, facial, and bodily reactions of her client to see if she was moving in the right direction as to what the client’s most probable future would be based upon their subconscious desires. If the reaction she got showed she was moving away from the future state of affairs that the client subconsciously wanted to hear, she would quickly make a mid-course correction in her reading until she was back on the right track again. In this manner, she did not really reveal the client’s future, only what his subconscious desires or drives would, most probably, make him do in the future.

As the reader can see from the above, I was a rather hard-boiled skeptic at the time and was delighted when my new hypothesis was readily accepted by those gathered at Sarah’s apartment.

Later in the evening, I volunteered to demonstrate just how psychics did their performances for their customers. I suggested that Sarah sit on one side of the crowded room that we occupied while I, the center of attention, would sit on the other side about ten feet or so from her. I told Sarah that she could ask me ten questions that concerned her and I would then deliver my prophetic impressions on each to her. The impressions I would give her would be based on my psychic feeling about each question, but I assured her that what actually would be happening was that I would be very subtly reacting to her responses to my reading. I was at this point that I decided to do this demonstration with my eyes closed to further impress our small audience of friends that the body reading could be done using only the subject’s voice as a guide to their emotional reactions.

Sarah asked her first question which was what she would be doing in the next month and as she did so she stared intently at me across the room. I concentrated and suddenly had the impression of her working with flowers. I saw, indistinctly in my mind’s eye, an image of her arranging flowers and working with lilies. The impression of the lilies with their white flowers and green leaves was very intense and I could almost see them. Sarah got excited as I related these impressions and then informed me that in the next month she would be helping out in a florist shop and preparing baskets of lilies for the upcoming Easter holiday!

Next, Sarah asked me if I had anything to say about her sister who had visited her earlier that day. Again I concentrated and said that I had the feeling that her sister had come to borrow a coat. Sarah’s eyes widened at this and she asked what color the coat was. I concentrated and saw an orange colored coat which proved to be the exact color of the coat! Sarah then inquired as to why her sister wanted this coat. Again, I had the distinct and strong impression that Sarah’s sister was going to take a train trip and would be wearing the coat. I saw the sister seated on a train and staring out of the window at passing scenery. Sarah then dumbfoundedly admitted that her sister had borrowed the coat because she had that very day taken a train out to a neighboring state to visit a friend.

Finally, Sarah asked me if I saw her buying anything in the near future. After a few moments I had a strong impression of a new automobile and told Sarah that I definitely saw a green car and that it was new because I could see it had shiny new chrome trim on it. Again Sarah had to admit that I had been 100% correct in my reading. Only that week she had finalized a deal for a new car and the color was green! None of her family or friends had then known about it.

The above is only a partial listing of some of the predictions that I was able to give Sarah that night, but they were all of equal accuracy, much to Sarah’s and my amazement. During my performance, she would occasionally lean over to my friend and inquire whether or not he had prepared me for the reading by telling me all of her private business. He had not and, in fact, admitted that he himself did not know about most of the things we had discussed.

Toward the end of the session an incident happened which gave me a clue as to the causative mechanism involved. Sarah had asked me a question and as I concentrated with eyes shut I drew a complete blank and the image in my
