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…

Does the geomagnetic field intensity affect the flight path of homing pigeons?

Analysis of GPS recorded tracks of intact trigeminal sectioned pigeons. Conditioning studies have shown that the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve is functionally involved in the perception of the geomagnetic field intensity. However, homing experiments conducted in the field with homing pigeons demonstrated that trigeminal mediation of magnetoreception is neither necessary nor sufficient for…
