Note that your navigator doesn't use morphic field navigation, either.

This is what I mean - people can propose a mechanism without actually building a device, or even really proving that it would work. This is the same kind of explanation as the dying neuron theory of NDE's.

What are you talking about? Prior to GPS, all navigation was done with compass-based systems. Compasses use the Earth's magnetic field, too.

Obviously if RS could turn his morphic field on and off at will, that would be great - but just because he can't, doesn't prove the idea is worthless.

I didn't ask for him to turn off morphic fields. I asked for him to disable the bird's morphic field receptor. There is a receptor, right? We're not assuming that the bird is the morphic field, are we?

I am sure he realises that his morphic field is a very tentative concept, but I suspect that it gets closer to the truth than many extremely far fetched 'conventional' explanations.

Why? How can you know this if you don't know how it works?
