Can You Feel that Somebody is Looking at You?

This is a continuation of the previous post connecting to the possibility that our minds are field-like and extend beyond our brains and can have effects beyond our brains put forward by Rupert Sheldrake, a very heretical thought from the point of view of conventional science. 

Sheldrake recalls that children up to age 10-11 years spontaneously believe in visual extramission included in two-way transfer between object and eye. That's why Roald's Dahls Mathilda has eye beams that come out her that can move things (cf Superman and X-men). Children love that because that's the way they think vision works. 

But in school children learn that this is not possible because there is a one-way stream of photons from the object entering into the eye and creating an image in the brain without feed-back to the object. And so this is what educated people in the West believe, and what Sheldrake questions and so get critiqued. 

Two-way transfer object-eye directly connects to a new view of heat transfer between objects by radiation presented as Computational Blackbody Radiation CBB.

To see this let us replace object-eye connected by light as electromagnetic wave, with two bodies B1 and B2 of temperature T1 and T2 radiatively connected by electromagnetic waves. CBB describes how heat energy is transferred from B1 to B2 if T1 > T2 by a phenomenon of resonance between B1 and B2 carried by standing electromagnetic waves as a two-way connection between B1 and B2 like a vibrating rope between the bodies. 

The fact that heat transfer is one-way from B1 to B2 comes from the presence of high-frequency cut-off increasing with temperature, which makes frequencies carried by B1 above the cut-off frequency of B2 cause heating of B2, while shared frequencies does not involve heat transfer. Here B1 serves as the object and B2 as the eye. 

There is then main transfer of heat energy from object to eye, as in the conventional view as a stream of photons as light particles, but object and eye are connected by standing electromagnetic waves. With a two-way connection it is not unthinkable that the object can somehow feel (very weakly) the presence of the observing eye, while this is impossible with one-way stream of light particles.  

Two-way connection by standing electromagnetic waves is captured in Maxwell's equations, while the physics of a stream of light particles is missing. 

The conventional view is that knowledge is transferred one-way from scientists to unschooled, but a true scientist can learn from anything. 

Two-way connection by standing electromagnetic waves relates to a holistic view of things as being interconnected, as opposed to a classical reductionistic view separating things. Today we are all connected through a two-way web.
