This book revisits the history of consciousness research in physics, challenging a previous narrative and extending the story to the present day. The authors aim to correct the impression left by David Kaiser's "How the Hippies Saved Physics," which they argue concluded the narrative prematurely in the 1980s and misrepresented Jack Sarfatti's contributions to understanding consciousness and the paranormal. This work seeks to provide a more complete account, incorporating developments up to 2023, and to elucidate the physics behind these complex phenomena.

The book positions itself as a corrective to existing historical accounts of physics and consciousness research, specifically addressing perceived omissions and misrepresentations in David Kaiser's work. By extending the narrative to 2023 and incorporating topics such as UFOs and time travel, the authors aim to present a more comprehensive and accurate picture of the field's development. The framing suggests a detailed, potentially revisionist, historical and scientific analysis.
