This theory holds that these "shadow" life forms have a biochemistry so different from our own that we are not able to perceive them using conventional methods which are designed to detect life as we know it." This is a man who truly thinks outside the box. I look forward to reading his books.<br />This is what I, personally, wonder: I know of no other animal that can remember the past and anticipate/envision the future like we can. But maybe they do. Maybe they just do it in ways we cannot measure. Do we, in our limited perceptions, with all of our equipment (designed based on our perceptions and to benefit US) really perceive the big picture? I don't think we do, but people like Dr. Davies are challenging us to think outside the box.QuantumLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027306621475758204noreply@blogger.com
