Agreed.

As with my example of gravitational fields - science teaches us that sometimes we have to accept explanations that don't seem complete. Newton didn't have a 'mechanism' for gravity, he just had an equation.
Regarding experimentation, unfortunately Sheldrake can perform experiments as much as he likes and most scientists will not believe him. The need is for others to do these experiments and resolve exactly what is going on. I am sick of reading critiques (sometimes by people who don't seem to have even read the original papers!) of this research. I would love to see some resolution. If presentiment is an artefact, how exactly does it work, and does it relate to Libet's neural timing results?
