Description
Rupert Sheldrake PhD is a biologist and author best known for his hypothesis of Morphic Resonance. Morphic Resonance is the idea of mysterious telepathy-type connections between organisms and of collective memories within species. Rupert has spent 30 years investigating and researching this phenomenon, much to the annoyance of the scientific community. Expect to learn why it is that rats who are taught to escape from a maze have children who are able to escape it more quickly and why rats in other areas of the world learn to escape more quickly as well, why are dogs able to predict when their owner is coming home 15 minutes before they arrive at the house, how blue tits drowning in milk can be explained by Morphic Resonance and much more...

The explanations in the field of modern physics are about explaining the visible in terms of the invisible and have led to the invention of unobserved forms of matter and energy, such as dark matter and dark energy.
32:52 - 40:23 (07:30)
Summary
The explanations in the field of modern physics are about explaining the visible in terms of the invisible and have led to the invention of unobserved forms of matter and energy, such as dark matter and dark energy. However, there is still a lack of an obvious mechanism undermining the theory itself.

According to biologist Rupert Sheldrake, the primary morphic resonance working on individuals is from the collective memory of humans in general and specifically from people more similar to them within their families and social groups.
40:23 - 52:23 (12:00)
Summary
According to biologist Rupert Sheldrake, the primary morphic resonance working on individuals is from the collective memory of humans in general and specifically from people more similar to them within their families and social groups. Sheldrake also notes that heritability, once thought to be explained solely in terms of genes, is not solely down to genetics, but rather a complex interplay between genes and environment.

The question of whether psychedelic experiences are generated inside the brain or are a result of the brain's function being disrupted is still up for debate.
52:24 - 1:01:40 (09:16)
Summary
The question of whether psychedelic experiences are generated inside the brain or are a result of the brain's function being disrupted is still up for debate. Many people tend to revert to 19th century thinking when it comes to the brain, but with modern technology, there's proof of invisible influences working through resonances at a distance.
