to encapsulate my case in a single general statement, I would say this: that in the understanding of the paranormal, electromagnet- ics are as fundamental as genetics are to biology. However, as we will now see in the exploration of the Hutchison device, this certainly does not mean that if we identify poltergeists as electro- magnetic in nature, we can all pack up and go home, mystery solved. In fact, the situation is the reverse as we can now enter realms of real scientific possibilities, although they do begin to sound like science fiction! That is to say, some very strange doors begin to open... For example, part of the Hutchison effect literally rips half- inch- square steel bars apart and actually shreds the shattered ends (all at low power and at a distance, remember). Tremendous ener- gies come from somewhere, and in his experiments with the dis- ruption of metal masses in the laboratory, Hutchison has devel- oped his own ideas. He wonders if somehow the fabric of space- time is actually breached. As he puts it: "The idea is to excite the surface skin of the masses and their atoms to create an unstable space-time situation. This might allow the fields from the Tesla coils and RF-generation equipment to lock up in a local space-time situation. My thought is that now a small amount of energy is released from the vast reservoir in space-time at the sub-atomic level to create a disruptive or move- ment effect.” Suddenly we are considering the atomic physics of poltergeist activity! There are few things more exciting than to realise con- nections between areas that were previously thought to be entirely unconnected. We could eventually move on and devise experi- ments to test the limits of poltergeist activity—and then, the floodgates are open! We are moving through strange landscapes that everyone had previously thought of as only vague possibili- ties. Modern psychical researchers who regard themselves as insightful and progressive now say, "You know, in the future, what we now think of as the paranormal will be commonplace, and not only understood but actually used in our everyday lives; for example, to dematerialise objects in one location and remateri- alise them in another." But this "future" has to begin somewhere, and it would appear that the application of electromagnetics to poltergeist activity is in fact this early beginning. However, it is ironic that this discovery was not originated in state-of-the-art government physics laboratories by a highly quali- fied and experienced scientist, but by someone who is the classic individual experimenter and self-made physicist. John Hutchison began his personalised journey through electromagnetics at an early age and, by accident, discovered the unusual effects described. But let us continue by considering in more detail the phenomena his device can generate. allow the fields from the Tesla coils and RF-generation equipment | THE HUTCHISON EFFECT: A LIFT, DISRUPTION AND to lock up in a local space-time situation.
