\nI plan to write a post about the Parapsychology Laboratory Records at the Rare Book, Manuscript,\u00a0and Special Collections Library at Duke University, and the fact that there is still so much there that is untapped. I couldn’t read it all, and of the hundreds of pages of notes I made to myself about things to follow-up, I couldn’t come close to looking into them all.<\/p>\n

For instance, I made a note about a letter J. B. Rhine wrote to\u00a0J. R. Angell, the president of Yale University. Rhine wrote that he was making a\u00a0\u201ctentative inquiry\u201d about their Institute of Human Relations and the possibility of working together.\u00a0 Angell wrote back that \u201cYour extraordinary experimental observations have already attracted our attention and interest.\u201d \u00a0And he said he was forwarding Rhine’s\u00a0letter to the director of the Institute.<\/p>\n

Yale physicist Dr. Henry Margenau (pictured above) wrote that effects they were studying were not brain waves or a new energy, and that they needed to strike out and find a new mode of explanation. \u00a0\u201cScience cannot close its eye to those things that are not directly perceptible.\u201d<\/p>\n

I can’t tell you how many times I read letters to Rhine from scientists I never heard of, only to google them and learn that they had won a Nobel Prize, etc. \u00a0There was a lot of hostility in response to their experiments, but there was also a lot of interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
