Roots of the chance
the Roots of the chance , (original English title, The Roots off Coincidence ) is a test of Arthur Koestler published in 1972, which constitutes an introduction in a language accessible to certain theories from the Parapsychologie. One finds there in particular references to the Extrasensory perceptions like the Télépathie and to the Psychokinèse.
The author postulates there the existence of bonds between elements of the quantum Mécanique, such as for example the behavior of the Neutrino S and their interaction with the paranormaux Temps, and these penomenes. The book was subject to the influence of concept of Synchronicité of Carl Jung.
