In one of PEAR’s hallmark studies, Jahn sought to see if human consciousness could affect the behavior of a device that randomly dropped 9,000 billiard balls into a series of 19 cartons. When the balls were dropped without any human interaction with the experiment, there was...

In a remote perception experiment conducted by PEAR, a research participant was placed in a remote and very distinct geographical location, where he was asked to take note of his physical surroundings and record any significant impressions he might have of the experience. At the same time, another participant, stationed...

PEAR repeated this experiment hundreds of times, with consistent results that pointed to the ability of the remote participant to telepathically divine the general surroundings of the other participant. Moreover, PEAR research purports to show that this sort of remote perception is unaffected by distance or even time constraints: A...

Mallett: Unfortunately, the way my theory works is only from the time the “machine” is first started. So, for example, if I turned on an experiment today, someone next Thanksgiving could travel back to the Fourth of July (2002) or to today, but not to...

Mallett: I am a theoretical physicist, but an experimental colleague and I are working together currently. We are using photonic crystals, which is cutting new technology, that trap light. The crystals allow us to study the possibility of time travel first at the subatomic level, which uses less energy. Right now the experimenting is slow-going because I am teaching full-time but the experiment idea is itself very well developed. We are hoping to get funding this fall after working extensively on it once classes end. I think the government will be very interested in our work for larger...
