I agree, IMHO, this is the queen of scientific anomalies.
Schwartz, a Professor of psychology, medicine, neurology, psychiatry

Energy Systems Laboratory,
I wonder if Beverly Rubric is involved in his research.
Sarfatti had proposed
a post-quantum theory based upon the work of the late Professor David
Bohm, and noted physicist Anthony Valentini had devised a theory which
allowed signals to travel faster than the speed of light.
Dr. Sarfatti is a classic example of don't dismiss the message just
because the messenger is a bit eccentric.
Valentini's work, which is based on the pilot-wave interpretation of
quantum theory championed by the late David Bohm, predicted a new kind
of non-quantum matter, offering unique and almost magical properties.
Sarfatti proposed that the human mind -- the essence of the
consciousness experience -- operated "beyond space and time" in a way
similar to Valentini's non-quantum matter.
There he he goes, jumping to conclusions. IMHO, all that precognition
demonstrates is that the nonorthogonal wave isn't bound by time.
Dr. David Deutsch, at Oxford's Clarendon Laboratory, is a
world-renowned expert in quantum information theory. Deutsch is also
one of the most vocal and respected proponents of the Many Worlds
Interpretation of Quantum Theory: our world is just one of a countless
number of parallel universes.
IMHO, it seem that Dr. Deutsch is getting some exercise too. IMHO, there
is only one universe, and your looking at a part of it.
The idea sounds like science fiction,
The best Si Fi has the most science in it.
Sarfatti, and other proponents of "quantum mind"
explanations, claim that the experience of the human mind is evidence
of the need for new physics.
I wonder what Jeffery Satinover thinks about this.
Chris Robinson claims the future comes to him at night, while he is
asleep. He has developed a system of recalling and interpreting his
nocturnal visions and records them as evidence that his mind is
accessing future events.
My one experience with deji vue was in a dream.
If Mr. Robinson's mind truly does reach out and grasp the future, what
are the implications for the nature of the human mind? More
importantly, is it possible to imagine a human time machine without
appealing to new physics?
I draw the line at an energy wave transversing time.
Dr. Paul Werbos is a Program Director at the National Science
Foundation. One of Werbos' personal interests is the possibility that
Quantum Theory might allow for information to flow both forward and
backward in time. Werbos imagines a realistic single universe theory.
Dr. David Deutsch holds fast to the parallel universes idea:
I wonder what Hal Puthoff thinks about this?
The Valentini
and Sarfatti ideas require violation of a major cornerstone of Quantum
Theory: the special non-quantum matter of Valentini and the
post-quantum mind-stuff of Sarfatti do not obey the Born Rule that
determines quantum probabilities.
