All Done with Magnets and Pieces of String
The Paranormal: Beyond Sensory Science
By Percy Seymour
Penguin 184pp £6.99 order from our bookshop
It is a pity that the author – or publisher – of this book decided to call it The Paranormal, which makes it sound like yet another mixed bag of anecdotes about ghosts, poltergeists, ESP and the rest. In fact, it is a bold and deeply impressive attempt to create a ‘new theory of matter, space and time’ which starts from quantum theory and relativity, goes on to plasma physics and superstrings, and throws in a section on ghosts, clairvoyance and precognition almost as an afterthought.
