SUMMARY:Fringe Physics
DESCRIPTION:March 7 – 22\, 20266 two-hour sessions \n\n\n\n10am PDT/1pm EDT/5pm GMT/6pm CET \n\n\n\nWith Jonathan Allday\, Bernard Carr\, Jeff Dunne\, Gwyneth Moss\, Dean Radin.Curated and Chaired by Jonathan Allday. \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, and include Q & A\, and all participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA webinar series discussing topics at the edge of conventional physics. \n\n\n\nPhysics has something to say about reality. It would not have survived as an approach to the world for so many centuries if that wasn’t the case. Yet we have to be careful. Physics has bought its success by narrowing its focus and developing a specific approach. We shouldn’t think of it as a ‘catch-all\,’ capable of accounting for everything that we experience. \n\n\n\nThat’s a hard lesson for a physicist to learn.  \n\n\n\nIt may even be an aspect of the ‘ontological shock’ that Jeff Kripal warns us about in the context of anomalous phenomena. It certainly seems that there’s a ‘trickster’ element in everything from UAPs\, NDEs and other weird acronym-experiences. The phenomenon seems to be deliberately defying explanation. \n\n\n\nPerhaps it’s time to push back.  \n\n\n\nPerhaps it’s time to start thinking about how physics can be extended to accommodate (not ‘explain away’) stranger aspects of the world. It’s possible that physics it not equipped to do this\, but also possible that an extended and revised physics might help people integrate their experiences. \n\n\n\nIn this series of talks\, we’ll take on some of these topics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday March 7Mind and Multiverse: Part 1Jonathan Allday and Bernard Carr in conversation about the Multiverse \n\n\n\nSunday March 8Mind and Multiverse; Part 2Jonathan Allday and Bernard Carr in conversation about Mind \n\n\n\nSaturday March 14 Experimental Tests of the Consciousness: Collapse HypothesisWith Dean Radin \n\n\n\nSunday March 15 The Emergent Physical Universe: The Psychology of Subatomic ParticlesWith Jeff Dunne \n\n\n\nSarturday March 21The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Physics of QiWith Gwyneth Moss \n\n\n\nSunday March 22Beyond the PaleWith Jonathan Allday

SUMMARY:Fringe Physics - Beyond the Pale (Session 6 of 6)
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Pale \n\n\n\nFringe Physics\, Session 6 of 6 \n\n\n\nWith Jonathan Allday \n\n\n\nSunday\, March 22\, 202610am PDT / 1pm EDT / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\nThese events are LIVE. All participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStored in the cathedral of Turin is a strip of linen cloth. On one side of the material is the faint image of a crucified male. Contextually\, it appears to be a rendering of Christ after being taken down from the cross. Carbon dating of a sample taken from the cloth places it as medieval in origin. Its documented provenance also fades away in that era. Yet\, it’s remarkably difficult to explain how an image of that nature was formed. There is also good scientific reasons to be doubtful of the carbon date. \n\n\n\nIn this talk we’ll examine the image characteristics\, identifying the key features that must be accounted for in any explanation of how it was formed. We will also take a look at the raw data from the carbon tests and discuss some of the curious anomalies that were revealed when the information was finally released. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJonathan Allday is a retired teacher with 30+ years’ experience teaching physics working in a range of boarding and day schools in the UK. He was a head of department\, head of faculty and an academic Deputy Head. His last post had the gloriously pompous title ‘Director of Digital Strategy\,’ although this did not make the IT work any better for him. \n\n\n\nAfter attending the Liverpool Blue Coat School\, he took his first degree in Natural Sciences at Cambridge\, then in 1989 a PhD in experimental particle physics at Liverpool University. During that time\, he found one of David Peat’s books in the University Bookstore. Discovering that David was also a Liverpudlian fostered Jonathan’s ambition to write about physics. \n\n\n\nShortly after his PhD\, Jonathan started work on his first book Quarks Leptons and the Big Bang\, now published by Taylor & Francis and available in its third edition. It has been in print for over 25 years. \n\n\n\nSince then\, he has also written Apollo in Perspective\, Quantum Reality (now in its second edition)\, Space-time\, and Introduction to Entropy: The Way of the World\, written with an old school friend\, Professor Simon Hands. In addition\, Jonathan is co-authoring a successful textbook (Advanced Physics) and a volume in the Oxford Encyclopaedia for Young Scientists. Most recently\, Jonathan contributed to the updated edition of the Looking-Glass Universe by F. David Peat and John Briggs. \n\n\n\nIn various other projects\, Jonathan has produced articles and teaching materials on the philosophy of science and the interface between science and religion. He has contributed to Physics Review magazine and has been an editor of Physics Education. \n\n\n\nDuring COVID\, Jonathan started researching what the Pari Center was up to and made his first trip to Italy for the ‘Enchanted Universe’ conference in 2022. Since then\, he has adopted Pari as a spiritual home. His physical home is with his wife Carolyn in Worcestershire. They have three grown boys\, one of whom actually did a degree in physics at Bristol University\, (not a bad strike rate…) and is now a software engineer. The others read psychology and philosophy and fell to the dark side and became accountants. All of them can do sport\, which Jonathan can’t but his wife could (very well). \n\n\n\nIn January 2026\, Jonathan became Director of the Pari Center.
