Here is a fascinating paper about The Australian Bogong Moth Agrotis infusa: which is the most amazing Long-Distance Nocturnal Navigator. As they navigate at night their feat is perhaps even more amazing than the migration of the Monarch butterfly in the USA.

Quantum ideas – Simon Ragett

Simon Ragett has created this website to discuss quantum ideas: http://www.quantum-mind.co.uk. WHAT THE SITE PROVIDES The site provides summaries and reviews of books, academic papers, articles and other material relevant to theories of consciousness related to fundamental physics. This includes the ideas of Penrose, Hameroff, Bohm, Stapp, Bernroider and others. The site also offers a blog for new material as it is…

Morphic Resonance

Morphic resonance is an idea developed by Rupert Sheldrake which describes how the universe is pervaded with morphic resonances that organise and manage our world. He describes this in detail in his book, “Dogs that know when their owners are coming home”. The existing classical model of a mechanistic world described by Science fails to…

New Study Fuels Debate About Source of Birds’ Magnetic Sense

This link gives you a very good overview of the latest arguments about whether Cryptochromes, which are sensitive to magnetic fields and exist in the eyes of birds, help with their navigation. All the great and good involved in this field are quoted. I personally do not think that the quantum effects in a Cryptochrome…

Magnetoreception – the ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field

David Keays is one of the mega stars of animal navigation research and has spent a life time trying to work out how magnetism might work. Here is a summary of his latest work: Magnetoreception is the ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field, which is used for orientation and navigation. Behavioural experiments have shown…
