This link is a very complete overview of the animal navigation at present in 2015. It covers all the important work that has been done and discusses what has been found along with all the problems associated with different approaches.

As you will see it ends up by saying that we still do not know how animals navigate. This is of course our stance at www.animalnav.org.

We are still fascinated by the fledgling cuckoo problem: how do they inherit the instructions of how to get to their wintering grounds in the Congo?

Do you have a sense of direction?

There is a lot of work going on in the navigation field. All the researchers in this field are now clear that navigation takes place in the sub-conscious. I made the mistake of thinking that native peoples who seemed to navigate perfectly without any aids could tell me how they did it, but language is…

Of Minds, Entanglement and Coherence – Quantum entanglement

Simon Raggett has been working hard to explain how quantum effects might work in the “noisy” environment of our animal minds. This is a very new area and one at the very edge of current research. The label “quantum Biologist” has only just been coined. This is a very readable article that helps show where…

mainstream science acknowledges Quantum effects

As you know we believe that Quantum effects are what powers animal navigation. It is only now that mainstream science is beginning to acknowledge that this may be the case. Much work needs to be done but this very interesting link shows where we are heading. Our hero Tristan Gooley (www.naturalnavigator.com) sent me this link. He…

Magnetism

There is a lot of work showing that animals can detect magnetic fields but it is important to remember – no moving electric charge, no magnetism. We have spoken of the pineal gland which detects ALL frequencies because of its shape. It is the fundamental shape emerging from two intersecting vortices – in other words…

Animal Navigation Model

Antonio Nafarrate, one of our associate editors has sent his latest thinking: I am very interested in how so much of what he presents here fits with other pieces in our puzzle to understand how Animal Navigation might work Richard Nissen editor I have some new ideas that may connect my Animal Navigation Model with…

Animal Navigation a new theory for 2025

How animals navigate has been a mystery forever. At present, the prevailing theory is that animal navigation is based on magnetic information. But there are huge problems with this approach. In order to use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate by, you need to know where you are and where you are going, as well…
