Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D. (www.fredalanwolf.com) is a physicist, writer, and lecturer who earned his Ph.D. in theoretical physics at UCLA in 1963. His work in quantum physics and consciousness is well known through his popular and scientific writing. He is the author of eleven books.
Dr. Wolf's fascination with the world of physics began one afternoon as a child at a local matinee, when the newsreel revealed the awesome power and might of the world's first atomic explosion. This fascination continued, leading Wolf to study mathematics and physics. After he received his Ph.D. he began researching the field of high atmospheric particle behavior following a nuclear explosion and worked on Projection Orion-a nuclear propulsion scheme designed for deep space exploration. Wolf's inquiring mind has delved into the relationship between human consciousness, psychology, physiology, the mystical, and the spiritual. His investigations have taken him from intimate discussions with physicist David Bohm to the magical and mysterious jungles of Peru, from master classes with Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman to the high deserts of Mexico, from a significant meeting with Werner Heisenberg to the hot coals of a fire walk.
In academia, Dr. Wolf has challenged minds at San Diego State University, the University of Paris, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of London, Birkbeck College, and many other institutions of higher learning. Wolf is best known for his contributions through technical papers and popular books, but he is frequently in demand as a lecturer, keynote speaker, and consultant to industry and the media.
Wolf is well known for his simplification of the new physics and is perhaps best known as the author of Taking the Quantum Leap, which, in 1982, was the recipient of the prestigious National Book Award for Science. Dr. Wolf's books have been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Dutch, and Japanese.
Former professor of physics at San Diego State University for twelve years, Dr. Wolf lectures, researches, and teaches worldwide. Dr. Wolf has also appeared as the resident physicist on The Discovery Channel's The Know Zone and on many radio talk shows and television shows across the United States and abroad. He is an honored member of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Collegium of Scholars and has taught courses at the Philosophical Research Society and the Holmes Institute. He is an Assessing Editor for the Journal of Mind and Behavior.

Stuart Hameroff M.D. (www.quantumconsciousness.org) is a Professor in the Departments of Anesthesiology and Psychology, and Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. He is an attending anesthesiologist at University of Arizona Medical Center, spending 4 days per week in the surgical operating rooms. In the 1970’s and 1980’s he studied the molecular mechanisms of anesthetic gases, and computation in protein cytoskeletal structures – microtubules – that organize interiors of the brain’s neurons and other cells.
In Dr. Hameroff’s words: “In the early 1990's the study of consciousness became increasingly popular and I was strongly influenced by Roger Penrose's The Emperor's New Mind (and later Shadows of the Mind, Oxford Press, 1989 and 1994). Quite famous for his work in relativity, black holes, and quantum mechanics, Roger had turned to the problem of consciousness and concluded the mind was more than complex computation. Something else was necessary, and that something, he suggested, was a particular type of quantum computation he was proposing ('objective reduction' - a self-collapse of the quantum wave function due to quantum gravity). He was linking consciousness to a basic process in underlying space-time geometry - reality itself!’
‘It seemed fascinating and plausible to me, but Roger didn't have a good candidate for a biological site for his proposed process. I thought, ‘could microtubules be quantum computers?’ I wrote to him, and we soon met in his office in Oxford in September 1992. Roger was struck by the mathematical symmetry and beauty of the microtubule lattice and thought it was the optimal candidate for his proposed mechanism. Over the next few years we began to develop a model for consciousness involving Roger's objective reduction occurring in microtubules within the brain's neurons.”
Dr. Hameroff’s publications include 150 peer reviewed papers including three co-authored with Roger Penrose and 5 books including: Toward a Science of Consciousness I-III (MIT Press 1996, 1998, 1999), and Ultimate Computing – Biomolecular Consciousness and Nanotechnology, (Elsevier-North Holland 1987.)
Jeffrey Satinover, M.D. (psychiatry), (www.satinover.com) M.S. (physics, doctoral candidate in physics). For over twenty years, Dr. Satinover has been an author and practicing psychiatrist. He was until recently a teaching fellow and doctoral student in the department of physics at Yale University, where he has completed a master�s degree as a member of the Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics group and Yale's newly-established W. H. Keck Foundation Center for Quantum Information Physics. His area of research is in supersymmetric many-body theory as applied to quantum computation. His most recent book, The Quantum Brain, explores the interface of neuroscience, computation, artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics. He is presently completing his doctorate in physics at the Laboratoire de Physique de la Matiere Condensee at the University of Nice, Sophia Antipolis, under the direction of Didier Sornette, pursuing new techniques in the prediction of chaotic time series, with applications to biological systems, climate change and markets.
Dr. Satinover is past president of the C.G. Jung Foundation of New York, a former Fellow in Psychiatry and Child Psychiatry at Yale University and William James Lecturer in Psychology and Religion at Harvard University. He is the author of the chapter on Jungian psychotherapy in the just-released Encyclopedia of Psychotherapy (Academic Press). He speaks widely on matters of public and educational policy and also on the interface of science and religion. He is one of three co-authors of a program of rigorous educational reforms that were adopted by the San Diego Independent School District, the nation's sixth largest. He has been asked on a number of occasions to consult to Congress and to prepare Supreme Court amici briefs. From time to time his talks are broadcast on C-Span. He served in the United States Army National Guard as a combat helicopter Flight Surgeon for the State of Connecticut and later as an Army Reserve psychiatrist.
Dr. Satinover also designs market-neutral trading strategies for hedge funds that integrate statistical and adaptive (i.e., neural network, genetic algorithm and evolutionary programming) methods with extremely rigorous data collection, error-trapping and analysis.
Dr. Satinover has written five books that have been translated into nine languages worldwide. George Gilder, best-selling author and publisher of the Gilder Technology Report says that "The Quantum Brain is the first great book of the 21st century-and the first definitively 21st century book� A heroic and historic new vision that will be read with admiration and amazement in centuries to come�a promethean work." Jack Tuzsynski, Professor of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Alberta has hailed it as, "A great feat... Like no other book I know. The Quantum Brain... set[s] new standards for popular science writing. A tapestry of insights from... mathematics, computer science,...quantum physics, cell biology and more. Even the most active players in the fields of artificial intelligence or neurophysiology will find new information in this book."
Dr. Satinover has also written the book, Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth. He teaches Constitutional Law and Civil Liberties part-time in the Department of Politics at Princeton University (resuming in the Fall of 2005).
Dr. Satinover lives in Weston, Connecticut, his home for twenty-two years, with his wife, Julie. They have three daughters, Sarah, Anni and Jenny.

Dr. Daniel Monti M.D. (web site) received his Doctor of Medicine, summa cum laude, from The State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine in 1992. His Postdoctoral work was in the Research Scholars Program, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, PA. He is currently Chief of Complementary Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Jefferson Medical College and Director of the Mind-Body Medicine for the Myrna Brind Jefferson Center for Integrative Medicine, Thomas Jefferson University.
Dr. Monti�s research has covered a broad range of topics and include grants in: Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy for Cancer Patients, Alternative Therapies in Disease, and Muscle Test Responses to Semantic Statements. His research into mind/body healing has earned him: NeuroEmotional Technique Doctor of the Year Award, and Tree of Life Award (for "contributions to the Wellness of the Community at Large") presented at the "Wellness of You" Lecture Series, Philadelphia, PA.
He recently completed two studies with cancer patients. First, he just completed a two year clinical trial on the effects of an intervention he and his team developed for cancer patients that incorporates mindfulness meditation skills combined with creative artistic expression. The results showed that the eight-week intervention dramatically reduced-stress related medical symptoms and significantly improved quality of life. The results are currently being prepared for publication in a medical journal. This study was funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH). Secondly, he has begun studies on a mind-body-energy intervention called Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) with traumatized cancer patients. The preliminary data is shows that the patients who receive the NET intervention have decreased distress and improved immune systems.
Dr. Monti is currently writing a scientifically based book for the lay audience on how mind, body, and the energetic systems are part of an intricate network that constitutes our physical and mental health. The book will focus on strategies for identifying and resolving blocks to having a successful, healthful life. The book is expected to be released in 2005.

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
Dr. Candace Pert (web site) was a graduate student in her mid-twenties when she discovered the opiate receptor, the cellular bonding site for endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, which she calls our "underlying mechanism for bliss and bonding." This breakthrough presaged a sea change in scientific understanding of human internal communication systems, pointing the way toward the information-based model that is now supplanting the long-dominant structuralist viewpoint.
In the years since, Candace Pert has focused her research on developing non-toxic pharmaceuticals that selectively block receptor sites for the AIDS virus. She has also pursued the “threateningly interdisciplinary” relationship between the nervous and immune systems, developing documentation of a body-wide communication system mediated by peptide molecules and their receptors, which she perceives to be the biochemical basis of emotion and the potential key to many of the most challenging diseases of our time.
Dr. Pert was awarded her Ph.D. in pharmacology, with distinction, in 1974, from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Pert conducted a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Department of Pharmacology at Johns Hopkins from 1974-1975. After 1975, she held a variety of research positions with the National Institutes of Health, and until 1987, served as Chief of the Section on Brain Biochemistry of the Clinical Neuroscience Branch of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
Dr. Pert is an internationally recognized pharmacologist who has published over 250 scientific articles on peptides and their receptors and the role of these neuropeptides in the immune system. She has an international reputation in the field of neuropeptide and receptor pharmacology, and chemical neuroanatomy. She has lectured worldwide on these and other subjects, including her theories on emotions and mind-body communication. Dr. Pert holds a number of patents for modified peptides in the treatment of psoriasis, Alzheimer's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, stroke, and head trauma. One of these, Peptide T, is currently in a Phase II trial in San Francisco for the treatment of AIDS and neuroAIDS.
Her best-selling book, Molecules of Emotion is noteworthy both as an insider's history of the changing scientific paradigm and as one woman's journey of growth and understanding.
SPIRITUAL TEACHERS, MYSTICS AND SCHOLARS
Ramtha. (www.ramtha.com) One of the great enigmas that scientists have studied in the last decade is Ramtha, a mystic, philosopher, master teacher and hierophant. His partnership with American woman JZ Knight, his channel, still baffles scholars. Results of their studies point to a decidedly non-local phenomenon and were presented at a conference titled “In Search of the Self – The Role of Consciousness in the Construction of Reality” on February 8 and 9, 1997. At this gathering scholars from faculties of Quantum Physics, Parapsychology, Anthropology, Sociology and Theology who had studied Knight for two years, presented their findings.
Using a sophisticated polygraph, noted parapsychologists Ian Wickramasekera and Stanley Krippner of Saybrook Graduate School repeatedly observed that while JZ Knight is channeling Ramtha, the readings of her brain-wave activity shift to delta, and that the lower cerebellum operates her body which talks, walks, eats, drinks and dances while Ramtha teaches – about the mystery of mind over matter.
Through a coherent system of thought that unifies scientific knowledge with esoteric knowledge of spirit, his students study biology, neurophysiology, neurochemistry and quantum physics. Like Bohm he declares that consciousness is the ground of all being. In his own lifetime 35,000 years ago he learned to separate his consciousness from his body, raise its frequency and eventually take it with him. He has been one of the few human beings to become an eyewitness to the seen, and, the unseen.

JOURNALISTS
Lynne McTaggart is the award-winning author of the bestselling book The Field(ivingthefield.com). She's best known as founder and editor (with her publisher husband Bryan Hubbard) of the UK and the US 's leading publisher of newsletters and books on alternative health and spirituality, including the international newsletter What Doctors Don't Tell You. Burton Goldberg and Deborah Ray as well as many others have referred to What Doctors Don’t Tell You as 'the finest health newsletter in the world’ (www.wddty.com). She's also written a book called What Doctors Don't Tell You and two earlier books.
Lynne has become a well-respected spokesperson in both the UK and the US on consciousness, the new physics, and the practices of conventional and alternative medicine. She resides in London and New York with her husband and their two daughters.
Lynne began work on The Field in 1994 as a personal quest to see if any new scientific theories could explain how homeopathy and spiritual healing work. This journey took her to many areas around the globe, meeting with top frontier scientists in Russia, Germany, France, England, South American, Central America and the US.
"During these meetings, I made incredible discoveries," says Lynne. "What these scientists were working on seemed to overthrow the current laws of biology, chemistry and physics. Their work not only offered an explanation of why homeopathy and spiritual healing might work. Their theories and experiments also compounded into a new science, a new view of the world."
For several years she immersed herself in quantum physics and pored through hundreds of scientific papers. Her task was to decode what was often impenetrable work into something that ordinary readers could understand. After many years and countless discussions with the scientists concerned, to see how their individual findings might fit together, she synthesized their individual work into a cohesive whole.
The Field has been widely lauded by scientific and spiritual leaders thinkers alike as one of the most provoking books of its kind.
Arthur C. Clarke called it an "important book that stretches the imagination'. Dr Wayne Dyer refers to The Field as "one of the most powerful and enlightening books I have ever read. A magnificent job of presenting the hard evidence for what spiritual masters have been telling us for centuries." Laudatory plaudits have come from both the physics and the spiritual camps, and The Field has now been published in ten languages.
As a response to the many thousands of readers who wanted to know how to incorporate the ideas about the new science into their daily lives, Lynne and her company created the Living The Field, thefirst systemized course in expanding human consciousness based on hard science. This written monthly master class aims to offer a blueprint for living an integrated and holistic life according to the new paradigms, with exercises to help heighten psychic abilities, spiritual development, and healing powers.
She also founded the Living the Field community, in which participants interested in living according to the new paradigm are meeting in small groups to incorporate these views and improve their own lives and their communities. Her company holds regular Living The Field workshops and conferences, where the world’s leading scientists and quantum physicists speak and enlighten, side by side with healers and remote viewers.
Lynne is now at work on a follow-up to The Field.
About the Interviews, Interviewees
and Content of the Films
The people who were interviewed in What the #$*! Do We Know?! and What the #$*! Down the Rabbit Hole were chosen based on a number of criteria: books they�d written that were read by the filmmakers, lectures and presentations that they�d given which had been attended by various of the filmmakers, and recommendations by others in the experts� respective fields. Ultimately, we chose these people to interview because their professional work was germane to the topics being addressed in the film. Still, the filmmakers do not necessarily support each and every statement made by all the interviewees.
By the same token, it�s also true that the people themselves who were interviewed in the film do not completely agree with each and every statement made in the film. Many professional perspectives are presented. The filmmakers chose to represent them all in the film, but it could never be possible in a film� or, perhaps, in life! � to get a group of 14 extraordinary people such as these to agree completely on a single cosmological view.
