>The paper you read did nothing more (i think) than show if you take a segment of the chizotypical population..then the neurologicial process is identical..all the quantum stuff there referred to the MRI process I thought ?That is what I got from the paper, which makes sense to me, in that people with similar mental states would have similar mri paterns... I believe in a sixth sense, out of sheer faith because i have exhibited this trait slightly many times throughout my life, so to me it is still a leap of faith, and not something i would say is generally accepted to be true in the scientific comunity....
You have to be careful when saying things like quantum anything, because there are very big differences between field theory and the thrust of the paper that was referenced, self-help guru Deepak Chopra made the mistake of talking about 'quantum healing', a conclusion he lept to by misunderstanding some writings by nobel laureate Maurry Gell Mann, who discovered the quark, what is believed to be the smallest pointlike subatomic particle...
I'm no scientst myself, but I have read quite a bit on particle theory, and have at least a popular understanding of many of the major points of this field of science...
as for sixth sense, while i visted her in atlanta, i told my sister last week that i was sure my house was on fire, when i got back home, a note was left on my door from my neighboor who told me she thought there was a fire in my house and called the fire department who broke down my door... coincidence? perhaps, but it still is a little bit eerie...
