The Field

Got a book recommendation from someone on my SF site (which is still defunct, much sadness). Little thing called "The Field" by Lynne McTaggart. Basically it's about the spiritual side of quantum physics, something I've been meaning to look into for years. Interesting factoid: one of the later Apollo mission astronauts did an experiment with psychic phenomena during the return trip. He tried to "project" images to people back on Earth (the whole star/circle/square/wavy lines thing from the opening scene of Ghostbusters, actually), and found out that the success rate was no different 250,000 miles away than it was if he was in the same building, about a 1:3000 possibility of being pure chance.

I'll post more later on how the book progresses.
