graduate-level textbook, Fundamentals of Quantum Electronics, published in English, French, Russian, and Chinese. So I was on a cool roll just doing the normal physics kinds of things. But interestingly enough, once I was there writing a graduate-level textbook, I realized, you know, there's something I don't know. And that is, what about consciousness? What about living things?

I mean is it still just atoms and molecules all the way down? We just don't know about it? Or are there some additional fields or whatever? So it turned out I came across some publications by a polygraph expert who taught polygraph to the CIA and FBI and so on. And one day on a lark, he connected his polygraph up to his plants.

And he saw signals coming out that looked like what you see out of people. And then he decided to threaten the plant like he would a person. And he got a big response. And so he then went on to connect up a couple of plants to polygraphs. And he would find that if he affected one, the other one would respond.

So I thought, okay, well, maybe this is some new fields that we don't include in our physics. So I came up with what, for me, was just a pure physics experiment. I was going to grow some algae culture, split it up, put half of it in a laser-linked site far away. And zap the local culture and see if it responded. And I can measure velocity propagation and so on.

So I sent that off to this polygraph guy. Cleve Baxter is his name. And so he said, well, that would be a cool experiment. Well, here's one of these things where your life takes a left-hand turn totally at random. He goes to a cocktail party in New York City. And there he runs into Ingo Swann, who turned out to be so-called psychic, famous artist, but fellow that did remote viewings, so-called.

And so he invited him over to his lab and said, see if he could affect the plants and so on. While he was there, he saw my write-up about the experiment I proposed, which for me is just a pure physics experiment. And so he then wrote me a letter and said, well, if you're interested in the borderline between animate and inanimate physics, why deal with algae culture? They can't tell you anything.

You should be dealing with somebody like me. I mean, I couldn't care less about dealing with, quote, a psychic or whatever. But attached to his letter, he had a big report that had been generated at City College in New York saying, We'd done some experiments where he would raise and lower the temperatures of sensitive temperature measuring devices across the lab.

And so I read that and I said, well, that's pretty interesting. So just in a lark, by this time I'd headed over to Stanford Research Institute to do my laser work. So anyway, I invited him for a weekend just to see what else he could do. And of course, I talked to all my physics colleagues and said, oh my God, these guys are all frauds and charlatans. You better know what you're doing.
