Keep up the good work.

Thanks for doing it! I think you did a good job for introducing this concept to your audience (with pro and cons). The only thing I would have objected was the quantum physic part of it. Proponents of the existence of paranormal phenomena always use quantum physic as it could lend some credibility to their claim. This is forgetting that there is no proof whatsoever that quantum phenomenum could have any effects on the macroscopic level. In other word: quantum physic (infinitely small) can't explain something like synchronicity (macroscopical level of reality). Well, anyway, good job. Thanks again! Sincerely, ps: the parapsychologist Rupert Sheldrake claims that telephone thelepaty is a real phenomenom, who can't be explain away See: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UdOi3s-tBzk Hello,

Well, anyway, good job. Thanks again!
