WEIRD SCIENCE: TELEPORTATION PHYSICS
The Air Force Research Laboratory has paid for and published a newstudy on "teleportation physics," referring to the disembodiedtransport of objects across space.
The author strives to distinguish his subject from the fictionalStar Trek "transporter" concept, and notes that "we are still veryfar away from being able to ... teleport human beings (and evensimpler biological entities such as cells, etc.) and bulkinanimate objects...."But after fifty pages of opaque physics, he concludes with anendorsement of remote viewing, psychokinesis and spoon bending bypsychic Uri Geller.
"During a talk that he gave at the U.S. Capitol building, Uri caused a spoon to curve upward with no force applied, and then thespoon continued to bend after he put it back down and continuedwith his talk," he reports."
There are numerous supporters within the U.S. militaryestablishment who comprehend the significance of remote viewingand PK [psychokinesis] phenomenon [sic], and believe that they could have strategic implications," he notes.
And he repeats a warning that "foreign adversaries could exploit micro- or macro-PK to induce U.S. military fighter pilots to losecontrol of their aircraft and crash."
Given the looming ESP gap, the author recommends that "A research program improving on and expanding, or implementing novel variations of, the Chinese and Uri Geller-type experiments should be conducted in order to generate p-Teleportation phenomenon [sic] in the lab."
The report concludes with a ten-page bibliography on teleportation physics and a distribution list that amounts to something like a "who's who" in "alternative science."
