American magazine Popular Mechanics receives praise by a frontier scientist for open-minded coverage. The latest example is an article about precognition.
The publication recently ran an excellent piece on precognition — a topic usually ignored by science media. It’s based on the work of cognitive neuroscientist and psychologist Julia Mossbridge of The Mossbridge institute, and Dean Radin, parapsychologist and chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS).
Already the headline set the tone: “Gut feelings are memories from the future”.

Julia Mossbridge had precognitive dreams already as a child.
“It’s not hard to understand precognition, it’s just hard to believe for those who haven’t experienced it”, Mossbridge told reporter Elizabeth Rayne.
You may or may not consider the CIA a credible actor, but the fact is that the intelligence behemoth has long taken precognition seriously. Its research on the phenomenon is nowadays declassified.
The scientific truth is that we don’t understand time. Physicists admit it. Time isn’t the handy linear phenomenon we see it as in daily life.
“In quantum mechanics, time may not even be part of our physical reality. It’s not that time doesn’t exist. It just behaves in a much stranger way than how it is seen through the lens of the human experience”, Radin said in the article.
In a Linkedin post, Mossbridge praised the reporter and the magazine for the coverage:
“Thanks to the curiosity and fearlessness of science writer Elizabeth Rayne at Popular Mechanics magazine, folks interested in mainstream science are learning more about edge science — consciousness effects, weird quantum stuff, time travel, and (in this case) precognition.”
Mossbridge said the interview was meaningful to her because “as a kid I really loved Popular Mechanics, but over the past decade I thought they were ignoring the post-materialist/quantum/consciousness revolution in science and philosophy. Not so!”
The FJN has referenced several stories published in Popular Mechanics. The science magazine deserves credit for its inquisitive and fearless coverage of discoveries at the intersection of science and spirituality.
