Harvard Doctor: “I Witnessed a Test That Shouldn’t Be Possible” | Diane Hennacy

Diane Hennacy Powell trained in medicine, neurology and psychiatry at Johns Hopkins, sat on the Harvard Medical School faculty, and has studied autism since 1987. Over three hours with Danny Jones she walks the whole arc of how a Harvard psychiatrist ended up testing non speaking autistic children for telepathy, the research that became the seed of The Telepathy Tapes, and what she recorded when a teenage girl named Haley returned 165 of 172 randomly generated digits across six hours of controlled testing. Along the way the conversation covers the hippocampus and the brain's spatial map, a woman strangled into permanent amnesia, ketones and Navy diver seizures, Oliver Sacks and the twins who traded twelve digit primes, astrocytes and microtubules, biophotons and nasal infrared light, the Antikythera mechanism, and a Scottish woman who can smell Parkinson's twelve years early. Hennacy is precise about where she is confident and where she is not, names the materialist explanation she takes most seriously for her own data, and says out loud which controlled test she has not yet run. This page rebuilds the entire conversation in its own order, with an honest look at where the science actually sits placed at the end.
