6. Chartering the immortal dimension: the physical parameters of integrated consciousness and the chilled universe
The ever evocative India Daily review the 'quantum zeno effect' in relation to the conscious mind in cognitive psychological theory and place this phenomena in context also of their theoretical concept of the immortal dimension, 'chilled universe'. The basis to this feature includes the work of Henry Stapp, professor of quantum physics at UC Berkeley, author of "Mindful Universe" (2007). This text explores theories of the quantum Zeno effect within the field of cognitive psychology and the mind-body dichotomy:

7. Scientists Unveil Missing Link in Evolution. Sky News, Alex Watts. May 2009. The world of palaeontology has recently been enriched by the discovery of what has been described at the 'eight wonder of the world', comprising a fossil of a female lemur monkey, dating back some 47 million years. The fossil is 95% complete and the discovery is said to thus confirm more definitively Darwin's theory of evolution.
8. Theory on Spirits of the Paranormal. by Edward Shanahan, May 2009 as featured on the resource site, www.supernaturalworld.co.uk, (hope this site is up and running again soon as it features a wealth of excellent sources!)
Simply a very perceptive, plausible parapsychology article, exploring concepts of the paranormal- from an analysis of energy and states of matter, to electromagnetic energy, Edward forms a persuasive body of evidence to explain our perceptions of spiritual phenomena in the everyday world.
