The Most Controversial Biologist Alive Breaks Down Telepathy

American AlchemyOct 31, 2026

Biologist Rupert Sheldrake argues that nature is shaped by invisible 'morphic fields' carrying a collective memory, which he believes can explain everything from how spiders know how to spin webs to telepathy between mothers and babies. He walks through experiments on dogs that know when their owners are coming home, the sense of being stared at, waking just before alarms, and rats that learned mazes faster across unrelated populations. The conversation also ranges into conscious plasma and a possibly conscious sun, the physics of angels, David Bohm's banished physics, and why mainstream science refuses to look at the evidence.
