In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Dr Matthew Hopkins, a highly qualified scientist with a passion for understanding the workings of the Universe.

During their conversation Matthew demonstrates various scientific concepts, explaining why some of these may contribute to our understanding paranormal experiences, something which Matthew has had numerous encounters with, Matthew sharing these experiences with the audience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Scientific concepts can assist in explaining paranormal experiences.
• Science, at its best, should be open to exploring possibilities.
• Having an understanding of energy can help us to understand how the universe works.
• Paranormal experiences are encountered more frequently than we realise.
• Our intentions have an impact on our reality.
• If working with magic, we should do so in a way that is positive and protective of ourselves and others.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Certainly, it's part of my fundamental ethos, I suppose, and philosophy of science. That to be a good scientist, one has to be open minded and explore the possibilities of an infinite number of possibilities.”
• “But then our keyword nature, if we're going to take the full foundations of nature, that should accommodate paranormal beliefs and paranormal phenomena.”
• “They should read some of the stuff in quantum mechanics and cosmology, which is far more bizarre than the paranormal stuff. Far more bizarre, Debbie. And these things are observable, observable things that we can talk of.”
• “I'm interested in, with respect to paranormal beliefs, i.e. manifestations, ghosts, etc., a lot of cosmological models, and to be fair, quantum mechanical models can explain that phenomena as it were. So that's why I'm interested in cosmology, and I'm interested in a lot of these weird things that exist out there.”
• “Hence, how we can explain the existence of ghosts using that mechanism. We could argue that when you see these phantoms, if you like, or these demons, what you're actually seeing is, you're seeing them in their natural state.”
• “And as we know, black holes suck things into infinite density. The white holes conversely spit things out from infinite density, so they're completely inverse.”
•  "Basically my father died when I was eight and in somewhat tragic circumstances, medical neglect, basically. And I remember my mother took a picture of a television in our room, in our lounge, where my father was physically in our television and this television was off. It was unplugged from the walls. You can't explain that through photoelectric effects or anything like that.”
• “ I had a dark figure follow me around for a long, long time. A very long time. It only went a couple of years ago. And then other paranormal experiences I've had of hearing voices, as it were.”
• “Debbie, I've strayed so far from my path, I can't remember the way back.”
