«Seven Experiments That Could Change the World» is a practical science guide by Rupert Sheldrake, in paperback (303 pages).
It reviews seven beliefs assumed by science and proposes simple experiments to test them, such as pets anticipating events or the feeling of being watched. It also analyzes how the researcher's expectations can skew results and argues that big questions do not require big budgets.
Originally published in 1994, this 2002 edition includes an update of results, bibliographical references and an index.
For curious readers interested in science, unexplained phenomena and experiments anyone can do at home.
