Even so, the overall message to take back is that Sheldrake knows a lot of orthodox science and wants to fit ? into some extension of that picture. For example, he clearly realises at one point that in the reference frame of the photon, no time elapses between it starting its journey and arriving at its destination (disregarding the slight slowdown that it would experience travelling through air).

It sounds more like Sheldrake learnt everything he knows from watching Star Trek. Really, beams of antimatter streaming out of our eyes?
The whole point about pseudoscience is to throw around scientific terms in a way that sounds vaguely scientific in order to add credibility to your woo ideas. This is exactly what Sheldrak does.
