Biography: Dr. Claude Swanson was educated as a physicist at MIT and Princeton University. During those years he worked at the MIT Science Teaching Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory and a Virginia cyclotron in the summer. At Princeton he received the National Science Foundation Fellowship and Putnam Fellowship. His Ph.D. thesis at Princeton was done in the "Gravity Group," which focuses on experimental cosmology and astronomy, and was headed by Dr. Robert Dicke. His thesis advisor was Prof. David Wilkinson, who later became chairman of the physics department.

Swanson conducted postgraduate work at Princeton and Cornell Universities on the design of superconducting plasma containment vessels for fusion energy systems. He then began work for Aeronautical Research Associates of Princeton, a consulting company, and later formed his own consulting company which carried out studies in applied physics for commercial and governmental agencies, including DuPont, United Technologies, the U.S. Army and Navy, DARPA and the CIA, among many others.

For the last fifteen years, interspersed with his conventional professional career in applied physics, Dr. Swanson has pursued investigations into "unconventional physics." His principal interest has been unified field theory, the so-called "Theory of Everything" which could explain the universe at the deepest possible level. This has led him to investigate many aspects of the paranormal, which appear to be completely real phenomena which violate our present science. Paranormal phenomena, which have now been proven in the laboratory in many cases, offer a window into the deeper universe, the mysteries of consciousness, and unlock new forces and principles which conventional science has only begun to glimpse.

Among paranormal phenomena which are now known, it has been found that signals can move much faster than light, and the human consciousness and even human influence, can move backward and forward in time. Science fiction concepts such as teleportation and levitation seem to occur in reality in paranormal events, and offer powerful evidence that this will be the new frontier of science.

At the same time, thousands of out-of-body and near-death experiences show that other dimensions and other realities do exist. This has been the domain of speculation by theoretical physics, but OBE and NDE cases indicate that parallel realities and dimensions are in some sense real. And finally, paranormal research suggests that the human soul, the center of human consciousness, can survive death and is apparently an energy form which can move and exist independently of the body. Science is discovering that, in the words of the pioneer Robert Monroe, " we are far more than our physical bodies."

Dr. Swanson has conducted extensive research in these areas, including research of the scientific literature, interviews with scientists in these fields, attended and spoken at conferences, and conducted experiments and investigations, to better understand how such paranormal phenomena can be incorporated into modern science.

This research has involved underwater archaeology in Bimini, scientific measurements in haunted houses, experiments in remote viewing and psychokinesis, and testing of new devices which can measure these strange forces. His newest book, The Synchronized Universe: New Science of the Paranormal, summarizes some of the new discoveries of this emerging science.

The Synchronized Universe: New Science of the Paranormal

Physicist Dr. Claude Swanson has written a superb book on the subject of paranormal research, experiments and theories. Topics included in this masterful book include: prophecies, remote viewing, extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis, group consciousness, cell-to-cell consciousness, levitation, teleportation, out-of-body experiences, adepts, and near death experiences. Each subject is presented with remarkable clarity, a historical overview, relevant diagrams and insightful observations into what appears to be going on. Swanson's choice of material and experiments to be included in The Synchronized Universe is outstanding, as these studies represent some of the most fascinating and noteworthy highlights in the history of paranormal research. From the more well-known studies showing global consciousness of events prior to their occurrence, to lesser-known experiments in which one-day-old chicks demonstrate psychokinetic powers by influencing a randomized robot to hover in their vicinity, The Synchronized Universe provides in-depth yet easy-to-understand summaries.

The Synchronized Universe maintains an impressive overall sense of purpose while covering a vast range of subject matter, and brings it all together in the riveting final chapter in which Swanson presents the Synchronized Universe Model (SUM), to describe how consciousness influences the physical world. This theory explains that all particles in the universe undergo tiny orbits around their central, average locations... and that each particle has a fundamental frequency, which is proportional to its mass. The synchronized universe model predicts that particles that are not in "synch" will be invisible and will not interact with visible particles, but will appear as "noise," while particles that are in synch can interact across distances of time and space. When people meditate, they gain the benefit of attaining a state of conscious coherence of frequency, which enables adepts such as yogis to demonstrate psychokinetic powers as all the cells in their body act together in unison to achieve a desired result.

Psychotronics: Harnessing Subtle Energy
Earth Energies: Ley Lines and Sacred Spaces
Higher Dimensions of Subtle Energy: Shape, Sound, Color and Fragrance
Biophotons, Entanglement and DNA
Energy Healing: Many Paths
Toward a Theory of Subtle Energy

This book covers many topics which involve something Swanson calls life force or subtle energy. Some of these topics include Qigong, od, orgone, prana, auras, Kirilian images, GDV, acupuncture, orbs, Ormus, dowsing, ley lines, sacred sites, crop circles, pyramids, crystals, biophotons, and healing.

Swanson diligently cites all of the source literature. He is also careful to note areas where instrumentation is not yet capable of capturing the information, and that the material presented is an amalgamation of a wide range of reports which show high congruence. Some of the more prominently featured investigations that Swanson references were performed by Baron Karl von Reichenbach, Wilhelm Reich, William Tiller, Kim Bong Han, Joie Jones, Norm Shealy, Konstantin Korotkov, Victor Schauberger, Phil Callahan, Nikolai Kozyrev, Gennady Shipov, Anatoly Akimov, Robert Pavlita, Alexander Gurvich, Vlail Kaznacheyev, Herbert Frohlich, Fritz-Albert Popp, Jacques Benveniste, and Rustum Roy.

Dr. Swanson also includes a chapter on the application of this life force or subtle energy technology; the practitioners he highlights include Joao de Deus (John of God), Richard Bartlett, and Mahendra Kumar Trivedi.

The author brings forth the idea that, contrary to the second law of thermodynamics, entropy is conserved. He posits that there is no such thing as a closed system which continually increases its entropy, any increase in entropy must be balanced with a loss of entropy or increase in order (a/k/a negative entropy or negentropy) elsewhere, as part of a larger system as necessary. This exchange of entropy is mediated by torsion fields, which then must therefore be closely linked with the density and direction of time. Swanson relates how the many forms of subtle energy brought to light in the book fit into a torsion model, and how similar these threads are at the source, for instance von Reichenbach's od and Reich's orgone. This concept of negentropy is consistent with what we routinely experience, as all life forms exhibit this property, that is, systems which achieve a high degree of order in the midst of disorder.

The final chapter uses the torsion model to further develop Swanson's Synchronized Universe Model (SUM), his theory which concludes volume one. Many big picture concepts which touch the nature of existence are tied together using the groundwork presented throughout volumes one and two.

Regardless of what path one is traveling, this book is useful food for the journey. It provides a theoretical physics model which can be used to explain numerous phenomena, events Einstein called "spooky action at a distance" which troubled him greatly, yet would seem to be beneficial. Additionally, it gives many examples with scientific backing which push out one's current constructs to support individual expansion of consciousness.
