- akiselev 10y agoObligatory mention of pseudoscience in a topic about real science: check. Might as well hail Deepak Chopra as Einstein reincarnated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Sheldrake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Sheldrake
- byroniczero 10y agoObligatory knee-jerk accusation of “pseudoscience” at the mention of Sheldrake: check. It’s a topic about overly conservative attitudes in the scientific community. Thanks for demonstrating that tendency with your insulting comment.
- mr_overalls 10y agoSheldrake's ideas of "morphic resonance" are the worst kind of pseudoscientific garbage. The man literally believes that insulin molecules inherit a collective memory from all insulin molecules that have existed in the past. He has constructed a New Age world of fantasy based on a fundamentally new type of physical phenomenon that is completely unsupported by physicists. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and he has not delivered such evidence.
