Was Einstein right?
Albert Einstein once said, "The distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
In the book, "Genie In Your Genes", I read about the following experiment: Researchers took a pile of hospital case records and divided them in half. They then focused their "good intentions" or "well wishes" (prayers?) on half of the cases hoping for better recovery results. Sure enough, the pile they focused on had better (average) recovery results.
The strange thing is that the case records were ten years old. So what would you conclude from that? How is it possible for current thoughts to have an affect on the past? Can you wish for someone to be well and have it be retroactive?
