My wonderment in all this is all how interesting things like this seem to just drop and go nowhere. But something like the Higgs-Boson which no lay person can understand gets such amazing attention. Yes, I'm saying there is a prejudice in the scientific community against things which challenge their current materialist worldview. Positive and negative thoughts effecting so-called 'inanimate' objects does not fit in the mainstream scientific view of the universe.
I don't know that they really do drop. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe whatever new information he has found will be forwarded in his ongoing work, or maybe as a source of inspiration for someone else to research in a similar way, with different tools and techniques -- perhaps in a more demonstrably conclusive sort of way.
I look at it like, some things are considered sort of "fringe" because there is no real substance, or incorrect conclusions are drawn, or some important information is left out. And some things represent a glimpse at the next leap of understanding that are simply unrecognizable as valuable to some who are so well schooled in the current level of understanding on a subject that they cannot see the current level of understanding also probably contains some misunderstanding, or lack of understanding, which limits and provides the boundaries for why we don't know some of the things yet to be known.
I think that even the smartest people, who can give the most detailed accounting of what's in the box, often do so
from inside the box.
I think that's how human tend to operate.
(My guess is that probably applies to all, or most of us, myself included -- in some areas of our own lives.)
I'm probably not coming up with any great scientific leap in my lifetime. I think
it's interesting to watch others explore different areas, though.
