Patterns of the Paranormal In the vast expanse of the unknown, patterns of the paranormal often emerge, challenging our understanding of the world around us. From near-death experiences to telepathy and psychokinesis, the paranormal encompasses a wide range of mysterious phenomena that defy conventional explanation. In this article, we will delve into the realm of the paranormal, exploring the patterns that have perplexed and fascinated humanity for centuries. Many scientific discoveries have been made by identifying patterns in seemingly unrelated observations. These patterns serve as the breadcrumbs that lead researchers to new insights and understanding. When it comes to the paranormal, these patterns can be elusive yet tantalizing, hinting at realms beyond our current comprehension. Human behavior is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that defies easy categorization. While physical sciences often rely on mathematical laws and theories to explain natural phenomena, human behavior is far from predictable. This unpredictability makes it challenging to identify consistent patterns in behavior, leading to debates between reductionists and proponents of a more holistic view.

Becoming a Space Faring Society Ejner Fulsang Saturday, May 9, 2026 2:30 PM PACIFIC TIME ******************************************^^^^^^********** This is a Zoom meeting.

Ejner will discuss the reasons we will need to spread beyond the Earth if humans are to survive. What technologies we will need to develop and the adaptations we will have to make. Ejner Fulsang. was an Army helicopter pilot in Korea from 1969-70, later attending West Point where he graduated in 1974 with a BS in Engineering. After leaving the army in 1979, Ejner spent the next 20 years working in engineering and marketing. He spent the last ten years before retiring as a proposal manager at NASA Ames and SETI helping scientists write proposals for space missions. He is most proud of his contributions to the Icebreaker mission which was designed to search for microbial remnants of life on Mars. Twenty years ago, Ejner took up writing. He writes in the hard SciFi genre where all science and technology must be plausible. The Galactican Series depicts the scientific, technological, and societal evolutions that a society will have to make in order to become a true spacefaring society.
