Black Holes. Dark Energy. Dark Matter. Entanglement Theory. Quantum Physics. Modern science estimates "normal" matter visible to humans is less than 5% of the cosmos around us. String Theory and Membrane Theory both suggest that parallel dimensions very probably exist. Quantum Entanglement Theory shows two objects connected despite being large distances apart. What does the universe hold-and hide? Where do we come from and where are we headed? Can science explain psychic and supernatural phenomena?

Exploring the collision of science, the universe and the "supernatural" unknown, Supernatural Gods: Spiritual Mysteries, Psychic Experiences, and Scientific Truths by Jim Willis looks at the myths, stories, history, science and facts of healing energies, psychic connections, heavenly messengers, miracles, déjà vu, dreams, out-of-body experiences, and many other psychic phenomena beyond the limits of the five senses. A bibliography and index add to the book's usefulness.
