Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300020002-1 wo bale LN465-92 foe, Hest London University Physicist David Bohm has proposed a hypothesis that the entire universe is a comprehensive pattern of diffraction. This comprehensive pattern of diffraction is a three dimensional pattern formed by wave interference models. The entire pattern can also be reconstructed from any portion of the overall pattern of diffraction. If the universe is a comprehensive pattern of diffraction, then its entire body of information can be contained in any portion. Stanford University Neurologist Karl Pribram believes that the individual’s brain is one point on the universe comprehensive pattern of diffraction. The brain has a channel to all the information ineluded in the comprehensive pattern of diffraction. In this way, during PSI states, there is no problem in information transmission because this information is already everywhere. However, even if the comprehensive pattern of diffraction of an object is three dimensional, it is only an empty pattern. It would at the most include information of reflective errors on the outermost surface of the object and would not provide information on the inside of the object. Therefore, the hypothesis of a comprehensive pattern of diffraction only provides a type of relative theory and does not provide physical practicality. STANDING WAVE Soviet Seientists Dubrov and Puskin believe that thought and images are standing waves produced by the brain. They are like the standing wave fenerated by shining light on hologram negatives. Standing waves appear in their latent forms at every point in the universe at the same time. The interaction between the standing waves generated by the brain and photographic film can explain psychical photography. Furthermore, different wave activity processes in the brain can be viewed as processes in a brain with the same structure. These wave activity processes can directly interact and lead to the generation of ESP. However, currently, the generation of standing waves by the brain is only hypothetical, and their existence has not yet been proven. RESONANCE Ninian Marshall has proposed the hypothesis that two kinds of complex structures with a relative degree of complexity and similarity such as two people’s brains, can influence each other, through direct vibration or resonance. This theory, in addition to lacking evidence for resonance, also cannot explain such ESP manifestations as in choosing simple objects such as calling a card. British Zoologist Rupert Sheldrake has proposed a theory that organisms have a type of form generating that causes growing plants and animals to attain their forn. Through form resonance or harmony, it produces the past or present form of members of the family and species. Several experiments used to check out this theory have already produced initial results. These experiments use a comparison of the difficulty of learning or sensing through ESP what someone else is familiar with and 50 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300020002-1
