What theory of reality could accomodate such a phenomenon? Today we have the extraordinary topic of the science and physics of Out of Body Experiences to get our head around! Many brain scientists have reduced this common experience to a mix of physiological and brain chemical effects, maintaining that no perceiving consciousness actually leaves the body, rather it is a form of hallucination and distortion of body schema. Not knowing when these experiences will spontaneously occur has made them hard to study in the lab. However, certain researchers have developed a method for inducing the experience, allowing for deeper study. Following that study some new theories of reality have developed that could include such an experience and even others like Near Death Experience or NDE, and Controlled Remote Viewing which we\u2019re evaluating in this second series. One such scientist is our guest today physicist Dr. Tom Campbell! He\u2019s an experimental physicist who\u2019s worked for over 20 years developing US missile systems for the Department of Defence, specialising in developing cutting edge technology, large-system simulation, technology development and integration, and complex system vulnerability and risk analysis. He began researching altered states of consciousness with Bob Monroe at Monroe Laboratories in the early 1970s. He helped design experiments and develop the Binaural Beats technology for creating specific altered states, and became an experienced test subject and trainer too. After many years studying consciousness, and out of body experiences he wrote the book \u2018My Big TOE\u2019, as in \u2018Theory of Everything\u2019, which describes his model of existence and reality from both the physical and metaphysical points of view.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?asin=B0047T7DXC&amp;preview=inline&amp;linkCode=kpe&amp;ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_HZQ4PBBYJP2TE4TPJYJM\" width=\"336\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can out of body experiences be explained?
