    About this series

    I first read the book “Stranger Than Science” By Frank Edwards when I was about 10 years old and it was an important turning point in my life. The book has many stories of strange events and it really built my curiosity about the world. Later I went to Engineering School and also had many paranormal experiences from learning meditation and other practices.

    I have now researched and written over 100 books on strange and mysterious phenomena. My fascination with strange things has become a major passion in my life.

    This book is kind of an updated version of that famous Frank Edwards book based on my experiences and research of many phenomena. I’m sure you will find the stories in this book fascinating since they are all samples of much of what I experienced, researched, and have written about.

    It contains over 32 chapters of my favorite stories on various topics to provide a question mark for your beliefs and assumptions about the world and universe we live in.

    When you finish this volume maybe you will see my point of view which is that as much as we think we know about this world and the universe, there are still many mysteries and strange things out there.

      What are the bounds of thought? And how do we know if an idea is completely insane, or just a paradigm change? In this book we explore Insanity, Crazy, Strange, and Disruptive ideas, and just some thoughts and stories. And what are disruptive ideas or ideas which break currently accepted paradigms? My goal is for you the reader to expand your minds to think “Outside of the Box” and not immediately condemn or make fun of new ideas just because they sound weird or wacky. Who knows? These new ideas might actually change the world for the better.

What are possible major paradigm changes which will also affect our future? Projections of the year 2100 as well as up to 1,000 years ahead. My goal in this book is to make the most accurate predictions of how our future will be over the next centuries that has ever been tried. What does the Future Hold?

      “On Using the Scientific Method to Study the Paranormal” is an analysis of how the un-measureable can be measured. The basis of Science is the ability to test a Hypothesis. This can only be done by having instruments which can measure the phenomena in question. If measurements can’t be made then Science can’t be conducted. After discussing some of his personal history with Paranormal experiences, the Author proposes some ideas to allow scientific validation of the paranormal which is normally a very subjective experience. Concepts of Reality and how Science evolved are discussed.

      Universal Holistic Philosophy: And How to Understand the Universe

      Most of us have been trained by schools and universities as to what scientific and historical truths are supposed to be. However, I maintain that much of what science and history teaches us is in error because the proponents of different points of view have too narrow an understanding of the truth that reality presents. This narrow point of view also limits our understanding of many issues. The theory of plate tectonics is a good example. First proposed in 1915 it took fifty years to find acceptance as scientific evidence was slowly unearthed to support it. The same thing is true with the questions being asked today about subjects like the paranormal, longevity, ancient history, and much more I call this new view of Reality “Universal Holistic Philosophy” (UHP) based on the concept that it takes many different pieces of information from diverse subjects and viewpoints to generate real understandings of certain phenomenon. The purpose of this book is to review some of the examples I’ve experienced to show how a Universal Holistic Approach (UHP) to different topics can generate these new understandings. In essence Universal Holistic Philosophy (UHP) is all about combining disparate sources of information and different perspectives to generate creative and out-of-the-box conclusions and theories which may be a lot different than conventional thinking and may shed light on answers nobody has really thought about. This book explores many of these concepts and how they came about. First we examine what are the steps to learning how to think in UHP terms. Then are the cases I’ve experienced of UHP thinking from researching and writing my books.

      Flashback: Human Uniqueness: Shining a light on the spark that separates man from beast.

      A physicist and a philosopher walk into a lab… no, this isn’t the start of a joke. It’s an everyday occurrence in the lab of Andrew Briggs, Professor of Nanomaterials at Oxford University. While working on how to exploit quantum mechanics to better store and process information, he also maintains an active interest in philosophy, and even has a philosopher working as part of his team. His interests extend into the nature of scientific inquiry, and to the nature of human uniqueness—hearkening back to the very first issue of Nautilus. How does philosophy play a role in physics? Well, for the las

      The Trouble With Scientists: How one psychologist is tackling human biases in science.

      May 14, 2015

      Sometimes it seems surprising that science functions at all. In 2005, medical science was shaken by a paper with the provocative title “Why most published research findings are false.”1 Written by John Ioannidis, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, it didn’t actually show that any particular result was wrong. Instead, it showed that the statistics of reported positive findings was not consistent with how often one should expect to find them. As Ioannidis concluded more recently, “many published research findings are false or exaggerated, and an estimated 85 percent of research reso
