The Basement: Eric Wargo | The Block Universe, UFO Time Machines, and Precognitive Dreams

About this episode

Eric Wargo discusses the concept of precognition and its implications in science and psychology.

Eric Wargo is an anthropologist, science writer, and the author of five books on one of the most controversial ideas in modern science — that the future is already fixed, and that your brain knows more about it than you think. His work sits at the crossroads of physics, psychology, and the paranormal, drawing on everything from Einstein's relativity to Jung's scarab beetle to make a case that precognition is not only real but explainable through mainstream science. He spent years as an editorial director at one of the country's leading psychology organizations before a UFO sighting in 2009 sent him in a very different direction — and he never really looked back. You can find his writing at The Night Shirt and on Substack, and his books wherever books are sold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
