What is synchronicity and is there more to it than just coincidence? Bethany Butzer discusses her research, including potential explanations for how synchronicities work, beyond them being due to random chance. Could synchronicities point toward the fundamental nature of consciousness? Do they reveal the interconnectedness that underlies everything?
We also discuss Bethany's research into bias in the scientific community towards parapsychology research (aka anomalous cognition), which includes phenomena such as extra sensory perception (ESP), telepathy, precognition, and psychokinesis, which is manipulating something with the power of the mind.
