During his presentation, Targ noted humorously that the extended duration of this federal grant was even more improbable than the very nature of the research he conducted! Interweaving his combined knowledge of modern science and ancient spirituality, Targ summarized some of the spiritual implications of his life long commitment to psi research by making five predictions about the future of the field:
Prediction number one
Nonlcality: Society will soon recognize that we live in a non-local world. Henry Stapp, professor of physics at UC Berkeley, has said that non-locality may be the most important discovery in all of science, because it means we are inseparably connected to one another. Put briefly, the term non-locality refers to the experimentally confirmed observation that two paired photons when traveling away from each other at the speed of light will instantaneous react to one another.
