Approved For ReleRgaNne2)0 FN S SFE B9-00788R001800210001-0 Ii THE SCIENCE OF PSYCHOENERGETICS (U) (U) For any field of knowledge to be considered a science, those involved in the field must adhere to some very rigorous guidelines. In the hierarchy of science, physics would be considered as the purest science; the other physical sciences would follow, then biology and medicine. Psychology and the other social sciences would follow these. Psycho- energetics has its place somewhere between psychology and the other social sciences. It has not been reduced to mathematics and there is no physical model, but psychoenergetics does have many characteristics that are common to all science. (U) The first of these characteristics is replication. If an area of endeavor is to be considered a science, experiments must be replicable. When the results obtained in one laboratory cannot be obtained under the same experimental conditions in other laboratories, the work will be neglected and will be considered to fall outside the parameters of science. The work in psychoenergetics at SRI has been replicated by several labora- tories: + Remote Viewing (ESP) - Princeton University, Princeton, NJ - Institute for Parapsychology, Durham, NC - Mundelein College, Chicago, IL - University of California at Davis, CA + Remote Action (psychokinesis) ~ Princeton University, Princeton, NJ - Mind Science Foundation, San Antonio, TX - Maimonides Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY - Psychophysical Research Laboratory, Princeton, NJ - Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY - Bell Laboratories, Columbus, OH. 5 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2002/05/17 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001800210001-0
