Exciting New Scientific Theory to Explain the Paranormal, March 14, 2006
This review is from: The Synchronized Universe: New Science of the Paranormal
Physicist Dr. Claude Swanson has written a superb book on the subject of paranormal research, experiments and theories. Topics included in this masterful book include: prophecies, remote viewing, extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis, group consciousness, cell-to-cell consciousness, levitation, teleportation, out-of-body experiences, adepts, and near death experiences. Each subject is presented with remarkable clarity, a historical overview, relevant diagrams and insightful observations into what appears to be going on. Swanson's choice of material and experiments to be included in The Synchronized Universe is outstanding, as these studies represent some of the most fascinating and noteworthy highlights in the history of paranormal research. From the more well-known studies showing global consciousness of events prior to their occurrence, to lesser-known experiments in which one-day-old chicks demonstrate psychokinetic powers by influencing a randomized robot to hover in their vicinity, The Synchronized Universe provides in-depth yet easy-to-understand summaries.
The Synchronized Universe maintains an impressive overall sense of purpose while covering a vast range of subject matter, and brings it all together in the riveting final chapter in which Swanson presents the Synchronized Universe Model (SUM), to describe how consciousness influences the physical world. This theory explains that all particles in the universe undergo tiny orbits around their central, average locations... and that each particle has a fundamental frequency, which is proportional to its mass. The synchronized universe model predicts that particles that are not in "synch" will be invisible and will not interact with visible particles, but will appear as "noise," while particles that are in synch can interact across distances of time and space. When people meditate, they gain the benefit of attaining a state of conscious coherence of frequency, which enables adepts such as yogis to demonstrate psychokinetic powers as all the cells in their body act together in unison to achieve a desired result.
I give The Synchronized Universe my very highest recommendation! It is ideal for anyone seeking a logical, scientific theory to explain and predict paranormal phenomena.

Thank you Dr. Swanson!, August 27, 2004
This review is from: The Synchronized Universe: New Science of the Paranormal
This well written, at times humorous, and insightful book finally explores the mountains of evidence available that the paranormal does exist.. and brilliantly presents a new model of the universe to begin to explain these long ignored anomolies and strange events. I highly recommend it to every reader interested in physics, the paranormal, space & time, and both science and sprituality.

New Frontiers, January 31, 2006
This review is from: The Synchronized Universe: New Science of the Paranormal
Dr. Swanson is a highly credentialed physicist that has done a remarkable job of making sense of a myriad of anomalous paranormal phenomenon. While most scientists avoid offering explanations for subjects such as remote viewing or ESP, Claude is not only comfortable discussing these subjects, he shows us that they may be connected on the frontiers of modern physics.
The Synchronized Universe is written in an easy to read style and includes a number of fascinating examples that call for a new look at our present understanding of the world. This is a timely book and sure to spawn a greater debate on the nature and physics of consciousness.
