Michael Coleman Talbot (September 29, 1953 – May 27, 1992)[1] was an American author of several books highlighting parallels between ancient mysticism and quantum mechanics, and espousing a theoretical model of reality that suggests the physical universe is akin to a hologram based on the research and conclusions of David Bohm and Karl H. Pribram.[2] According to Talbot ESP, telepathy, and other paranormal phenomena are a product of this holographic model of reality.[3]
Biography
Talbot was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on September 29, 1953. He was originally a fiction/science fiction author.[1][4] He also contributed articles to The Village Voice and other publications.[4]
