Michael Talbot

Michael Coleman Talbot, born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was an American author of fiction and non-fiction. He attended Michigan State University from 1971-74 where he pursued an eclectic education. As a young man, he had a great interest in the occult, which allowed him to spend hours entertaining small groups of friends with tales of poltergeists, UFOs and similar phenomena. He wrote 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. Talbot believed that ESP, telepathy, and other paranormal phenomena are a product of this holographic model of reality. His non-fiction books include Mysticism and the New Physics, Beyond the Quantum, and The Holographic Universe. Source: [Wikipedia](
