Margins of Reality: The Role of Consciousness in the Physical World

In a pioneering work sure to spark intense controversy, two researchers draw on a decade of experimentation by their Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research program to challenge the currently accepted rift between physics and metaphysics. Their provocative finding: the interaction of human consciousness with physical devices, information-gathering processes, and technological systems can produce results significantly different from what would be expected on the basis of known scientific principles. The technical, personal, and social implications of this revolutionary work are staggering. Margins of Reality is nothing less than a fundamental reevaluation, based on hard experimental data, of the role of consciousness in the establishment of physical reality. It is an invitation to expand our way of thinking about the world, ourselves, and our interactions. Book jacket.
