Changes

In recent years, a number of [[new age]] books have begun to appear purporting the view that the zero-point field of physics is the "secret force" of the universe being used to explain such phenomena as [[intention]], [[remote viewing]], [[paranormal]] ability, etc. One of the main purveyors of this view is Stanford physicist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Puthoff Harold Puthoff] who spent more than thirty years examining the zero-point field. Books that promote this view include:

Another popular book that purports this view in a loose sense is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masaru_Emoto Masaru Emoto]'s 2005 The Hidden Messages in Water. These theories do not, however, have the support of the general scientific community and are typically considered [[pseudoscience]] views.
