There's a time-space curvature in one vision, but time is representative of the laws of physics.

So essentially what parapsychology is, what Dean studies so beautifully, parapsychology is the realization that the laws of physics are very important

and very crucial, but they're not the whole story.

So when Henry Bergson critiques Albert Einstein, who's done this very good work in a particular view of relativity mathematically, and in terms of physics,

Berkson critiques him.

Berkson is actually a great mathematician and also wins the Nobel Prize.

But he actually understands this kind of deep, deeper vision of time.

And Berkson got very involved the 1880s in the parapsychological movement in France.

Alfred North Whitehead, the great mathematician, then comes to the defense of Berkson, who's a much better mathematician than Einstein, and he says, Mr. Einstein, I like you, you're a good man, but you are slipping in your own metaphysics into your mathematics, and actually from the mathematics perspective,

right?

There's a dimension which is timeless and there's also a dimension of time that's real and we can move back and forth in time and time unfolds and there's plot lines and he challenges Einstein.

But the basic notion that's in Whitehead and in Berkson and that Rodden is pointing to is that actually underneath the laws of physics, there is another order of reality that doesn't

nullify the laws of physics.

Laws of physics are clearly there, right?

Obviously, they need to be taken very seriously, and they tell us something important about reality, but it's also very clear the entire empirical world of parapsychology, which is probably the best research field we have now, other than the Hadron Collider, right?

I mean, the amount of careful research that the cyclical research society has done in England and in America is unimaginable, and the rigorousness of the research is unimaginable.

And David Ray Griffin, the key Whiteheadian scholar who I corresponded with before he died, you know, kind of wrote a book on this, you know, on parapsychology.

And he kind of went through the details.

And it's very clear parapsychology is real and validated.

And it's very clear that it undermines time.
