Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300020002-1 LN465-92 There have been three criticisms of sensory observation theories. The first criticism points out that this type of theory requires that sensory feedback of the results of the effects of the psisource. However, there are no experimental results which support this point. The second criticism is that if present events are the resuit of future causes, it would be necessary to use retro-PK to explain the various forms of PSI. The third criticism is that if through the psisource the result precedes the cause, then this theory would fall into a cause effect loop. Quantun mechanics cause and effect loops have received the Support of E. Walker, the basis for this is: once measurement is completed, all of its factors are shrunk at the same time. Nash proposes a “extrasensory observation theory” concerning PSI. Based on this theory, the observation activity which causes the factors to shrink could be ESP. Psi activities are composed of simultaneons and indivisible ESP and PK. The theory of extrasensory observation avoids the three criticisms of sensory observation. First of all, it does not require sensory feedback of test results, because extrasensory feedback is an inherent part of this process. Second, it does not fall into the trap of cause and resuit loops, because PK results and ESP results occur at the same time. Third, it does not rely on retro-PK or any special form of PSI, because PSI acts independently of time and Space and ESP and PK are eombined into one. BRANCHING UNIVERSES A quantum mechanics explanation which ean be considered for the problem of wave function shrinking is the explanation in quantum mechanics explanation concerning multiple worlds or branching universes. In this explanation, wave functions, in the observation process, are not shrunk from all possible states into one special state, but are cracked into their possible states, and each state appears in a different branch of the universe. Making an ordinary observation is the combining of all possible universes into a Single universe (from this boment on, the observer himself also belongs to this universe). Fuojiniya (translator’s note: Phonetic) Combined Industrial College Statistician Irving Good pointed out that in PSI, people with PST abilities psychically perceive all Possibilities, and then, through the selection of one of these possibilities, cause the occurrence of the desired event.
