I can't seem to even filter as much as you. I just have to ignore.

To bad you are such a bigot and it's pretty hard to do effective
research when you decide to "dry lab" all experiments forcing the
outcome into your preconceived notions. I suggest, you SHOULD follow not
only his work but the other work as has come out in the same field.

Oh sure, you have "no problem" with any work that meets the results you
have already fixed in your mind. Well, if it's a "crackpot idiocy" as
you seem to think, then you SHOULD have a problem with throwing millions
at it since you, like the rest of us, are a taxpayer.
Obviously, you haven't a clue either about what remote viewing is, what
it's characteristics are as found by this research, or what it's
limitations are. Needless to say "reading the White House mail" remotely
obviously still takes spies, only in this case they don't have to leave
Iran.
The amount of use of the "Remote Viewing" project by government leaders
speaks to the effectiveness of the method even though all results are
classified. And even though the initial research is "shut down" I have
no doubt of it's continuation SOMEWHERE within the spy community.
I find it extremely ironic that establishment physicists have not the
slightest problem swallowing all the wildest "theories" about "modern"
physics hook line and sinker, but just mention a topic like remote
viewing and suddenly there is no willingness to to even examine
protocols or data and just a blanket dismissal of the entire subject as
fraud and insane crackpottery.
I am not so bigoted. I suggest that anyone who wishes to start probing
where the FUTURE of physics lies, a good place to start is Amazon.com
and a purchase of the several excellent books on the remote viewing
project.

Getting back to the subject, I think that the above plus the fact that
Maxwell's equations already seem to be relativistic even though coming
from a period before relativity somehow gets people excited about the
idea that somehow the "secrets" of atomic structure can be found there.
Who knows perhaps some chemistry can be found there. But it certainly
does not seem likely that quantum mechanics will turn up in Maxwell
(even though the uncertainty principle does)
The only question that remains now is how can effectively filter ME in
your system.
