“The belief system that governs conventional scientific thinking is an act of faith.”  

Rupert Sheldrake is a scientist, author, and parapsychology researcher. Best known for his theory of morphic resonance, a radical hypothesis that nature itself has memory. Sheldrake is also known for his viral TED talk which was banned by the organisation. He has taken issue with the New Atheism of many and has also challenged the idea that the laws of nature are fixed and unchanging.

At Cambridge University, he worked in developmental biology as a Fellow of Clare College. He was Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics in Hyderabad, India.

"Sheldrake is an excellent scientist; the proper, imaginative kind." — New Scientist
