Can Science Prove Magic Is Real? | Dr. Dean Radin

Can science test the "impossible"? Dr. Dean Radin, chief scientist at the
Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of Entangled Minds, Supernormal, Real Magic, and The Science of Magic, on 40 years of research into psychic phenomena and consciousness.

What happens when a scientist tests ideas most people dismiss as impossible? Dr. Dean Radin, joins RUNEGADE to discuss decades of research into psychic phenomena, quantum physics and the practices sometimes called magic.

Key insight from E71 - full episode here: youtu.be/kUoYpnz-OKQ

Radin explains how he used meta-analysis to examine whether reported effects could be repeated across studies, why he sees quantum physics as compatible with these phenomena—not proof of them—and how his books moved from reviewing evidence to exploring practical methods. He also shares stories from people who tried simple sigil practices and were surprised by what followed.

The claims discussed here remain debated. This conversation explores Radin’s perspective and the research he describes; it isn’t a claim that these effects are settled science.
