Thirty generations later, rats were solving the same maze in 20 tries. Rats on a different continent — with no connection to the original colony — started at 25. The knowledge had spread. No one could explain how. A Cambridge biochemist named Rupert Sheldrake spent years studying cases like this — rats, birds, crystals, dogs, and humans — all showing the same pattern. His conclusion got his book called the best candidate for burning in modern scientific history. Then someone stabbed him for it.

Luxury sales claim based on S&P Global Mobility Canadian New Vehicle Total Registrations for calendar year 2025 for the Cadillac definition of luxury. In 1920, a Harvard scientist put rats in a maze with two exits.
Starting point is 00:00:35 One path was well lit but electrified. The other was dark, but safe. The rat tried the bright exit. It got shocked. It tried again. It got shocked. Again and again. It took 165 painful tries,
Starting point is 00:00:51 but it finally learned to take the dark path. 15 years later and 30 generations later, the rats needed just 20 tries. 20 tries. They were getting smarter. The solution was passed genetically. That's not supposed to happen. A scientist in Scotland tried the same experiment with a completely different set of rats. His rats started at 25 tries, as if they already knew the answer to the puzzle. Knowledge had crossed the ocean and no one could explain how.

Starting point is 00:03:03 like a rat learning to avoid electric shocks, or a human learning how to throw football. The theory is named for zoologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, who proposed it in 1809, and the theory is supposed to be wrong. Standard biology says that knowledge can't be inherited, only traits can. Eye color, intelligence, allergies, but not knowledge, not information. Harvard psychologist William McDougal tested this theory in 1920. The setup was simple, rats and a water maze. He used wister rats, common-loss. labs because they're genetically identical, perfect for this experiment.
Starting point is 00:03:42 The maze had two ways out. One was brightly lit and easy to find. The other exit was dark. The bright exit delivered an electric shock. The dark exit was safe. And McDougal added a twist. The bright exit moved. Sometimes it was to the left, sometimes to the right,
Starting point is 00:04:00 so the rats couldn't memorize a direction. They had to learn one rule. Avoid the light. Go into the light. There is peace and serenity in the light. Rats should naturally avoid the dark and swim toward the way out that they can see. Any animal would. You would.
Starting point is 00:04:20 That's exactly what happened. McDougal's rats swam toward the bright exit, got shocked, swam back, and tried again, and got shocked again. Sometimes over 300 times. On average, the first generation took 165 tries before they learned, Dark equals safe. Light equals pain. Then McDougal bred the rats and tested their offspring.
Starting point is 00:04:49 But he selected parents at random. He wasn't cherry picking for intelligence. He just grabbed any two rats and put their offspring in the maze to see how they behaved. According to standard biology, the new generation should start from scratch. They should average 165 tries. That's not what happened. Generation 2 did better. 141 tries on average.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Generation 3, 118. By Generation 8, rats were averaging 56 tries. That's when McDougal noticed something strange. The improvement wasn't slowing down, it was accelerating. Eight more generations. The average dropped down to 41. Eight more down to 29. By generation 30, rats were solving the maze with just 20 tries.
Starting point is 00:05:39 What took their ancestors 165 attempts, they mastered in 20. They were eight times faster at learning the same task. McDougal tried to break the pattern. He split his colony and started breeding specifically for slow learners, taking the worst performers from each generation and mating them together. These rats should have stayed slow or gotten worse, but they got faster too. Same rate of improvement as the randomly bred line.
Starting point is 00:06:09 The slowest learners were producing offspring that learned faster than their parents, generation after generation. McDougu published his results carefully. No wild claims, no revolutionary declarations, just the data. 30 generations, thousands of rats, every trial documented. He mentioned in his private notes that it looked like Lamarck might have been right. Skills could be inherited. But genetics don't work that way, except here. It was happening in his lab.
Starting point is 00:06:41 The rats were inheriting something, not genes, not training. They were inheriting the ability to solve a puzzle their parents had learned through pain and repetition. Whatever was happening, it wasn't genetics, because not only were skills being transmitted across generations, they were being transmitted across the entire species all over the world.

He thought McDougal was sloppy. So in 1923, he set up his own experiment to prove it. He set up the same water maze, same wister rats, just different. genes. But he also added a control group, something McDougal
Starting point is 00:08:54 didn't do. He had a trained line of rats and an untrained line. Oh yeah, we got a nerd trowdown. In one corner wearing a tweed jacket and horn rim glasses is the shrink William McDougal, a.k.a. the social psycho, a.k.a. Freud rage. And in
Starting point is 00:09:10 the other corner, also wearing a tweet jacket and hoarderam glasses is the geneticist F.A.E. crew, aka the fetotype foe. A.k.a. Jeans, wow. Welcome to the fray in the DNA. Let's get ready to rumbo. Crew expected his trained rats to master the maze in about 20 tries.
Starting point is 00:09:30 And they did. But the untrained rats should have averaged 165 tries. They averaged 25. 30 generations, that's what it took McDougal's rats to crack the maze. These rats had no genetic connection to any of those, and they just needed 25 tries on day one. W.E. Agar, a scientist at the University of Melbourne, ran a similar study for 20 years. Same result.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Trained and untrained. Related and unrelated. Different labs, different countries. It didn't matter. The knowledge was spreading through the entire species. But it wasn't just rats. For years, milk was left on people's doorsteps, glass bottles with foil caps. And I can't believe I'm old enough to remember this, but I am. In 1920 in Southampton, England, the blue tip birds learned something useful about milk.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Hang on, hang on, hang on. Oh crap. Did you just say blue tick birds? Yes. Sometimes they're called blue caps, but technically they're... Right. Can you please stop sick? Hey, hey, hey, we're going to be talking about blue tits and milk for a while.
Starting point is 00:10:43 We are. Oh, baby. It's Christmas morning and Santa's. Santa's been good to daddy. Here's what the birds... Blue tits. Here's what they learned about milk. Pierce the foil cap, drink the cream.
Starting point is 00:10:59 This behavior spread all over Britain. By the 1940s, they were all doing it. Every... Go ahead. Every blue tit was doing it. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, do you have any stories about bluebizumbas or turquoise tappas? No.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Cobold cans, periwinkle peaks, midnight melons. No. Denham Dunblins, Sapphire, Seenbecks. That's enough. Ah! I can't breathe. I can't hear me. I'm... You could argue that the birds were watching each other and learning this trick. But then came World War II.
Starting point is 00:11:45 All aluminum was needed for aircraft, so no more foil caps. They used wood or two. cheaper or harder metal. Blue tits couldn't get through. They only live a couple of years, so by the time the war was over, every bird that had ever pierced a cap was dead. The entire generation that knew the trick, they were gone. But when the foil caps came back, blue tits were piercing them again. Birds that had never seen the trick across all of Britain, all at the same time. This wasn't genetics, memory or observation. This was a skill, somehow encoded into the species itself.
Starting point is 00:12:24 But this can happen to non-living things too, specifically crystals. When chemists synthesize a new compound, getting it to crystallize for the first time can take months or years. Different temperatures, different solvents, different pressures. The molecules just won't organize. They won't form a pattern until one day they do. And then something strange happens. A compound that resisted crystallization for decades,
Starting point is 00:12:50 suddenly crystallizes everywhere on earth. Glaceryl was a liquid for centuries. No one could crystallize it. Then in 1867, a barrow crystallized during shipment to Vienna. After that, glycerol crystallized easily everywhere. Xylitol, same story. Decades of failure. Then one success, then success everywhere.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Rats, birds, crystals. They were passing behaviors to each other, all over the world. Something had to be carrying this information, something we couldn't see, something we didn't understand. But in 1981, a young scientist from Cambridge found a pattern. Not only could species pass information
Starting point is 00:13:37 anywhere around the world, they could pass information anywhere through time. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

In 1973, Rupert Sheldrake sat in his Cambridge lab staring at a bean plant. It was doing something that shouldn't be possible, according to everything he knew about biochemistry. Hey, hey, man. And the guy was called Rupert Seldrake. Yes, why? That's the kind of name that's gonna cost you a fortune in lunch money.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Yeah, I don't think there was a lot of bullying going on at Cambridge. Oh, wake up, human! Wedgys are universal! I bet even Stephen Hawking had to eat his own tidy wities from time to time. And he sat on those things all day! Anyway, bean plants are like vines. They can't stand on their own. They need a structure to grow around. around, a wall, a fence, a tree. He was growing plants using pots and small wooden poles for support.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Same method every time. The plant sprouts grows toward the pole and starts climbing. But this particular bean plant was doing something very strange. It was growing toward a pole that wasn't there yet. It was growing to where the pole would be in the future. Now, Shelterig was a serious scientist. Cambridge Fellowship, Harvard, PhD in biochemistry, director of studies at age 31. His research on plant hormones is still in textbooks today. But this bean plant was bothering him. Plants don't have eyes. They don't have nervous systems.
Starting point is 00:16:50 The support pole wouldn't be installed for another two days, yet the beam was already changing its growth pattern, already preparing to climb something that didn't exist yet. He'd seen this before. thousands of times every biologist had. They just didn't talk about it. DNA doesn't actually contain the blueprint for what an organism becomes.
Starting point is 00:17:13 An acorn has the same DNA in every cell, but those cells grow into roots or leaves, branches. They organize themselves into a tree, and nobody can really explain how they know to do that. Think of DNA like Lego bricks. A Star Wars set and a castle set use exactly the same pieces. The only difference is the final shape. A fruit fly, a banana, even a human being, share most of the same DNA.
Starting point is 00:17:41 But they develop into completely different organisms. The final shape isn't in the DNA. Something else is guiding the process. One night walking home along the river Cam, Sheldrake had a moment of clarity. Maybe nature has a memory. When any system organizes itself, a crystal forming, a plant growing,
Starting point is 00:18:03 and animal learning, it creates what Sheldjurik would call a morphic field, a memory in nature. A similar system can resonate with that field and access that memory, meaning a bird learning to pierce the foil, crystals learning to form. And the more that memory is accessed, the stronger it gets. And it influences everything that comes after, across space and time, no physical connection required.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Because that memory is now part of nature, all of nature, everywhere, forever. In 1974, Sheldrake moved to India to work at an agricultural institute. That was his day job. He spent his nights at a monastery, and for 18 months, between prayers and meditation, he wrote a book proposing that the universe has memory. He called it a new science of life.
Starting point is 00:18:56 He published it in 1981. The most important science journal in the world responded by calling for his book, to be burned. The theory of Morphic residents cost Sheldrick his career, and a few years later, it almost cost him his life. Look, I'm going to be honest with you.

September 1981, John Maddox, editor of nature, then the most prestigious science journal in the world, wrote an editorial about Shell Drake's book.
Starting point is 00:20:49 He called it the best candidate for burning there's been for many years. Nature publishes Nobel laureates. Einstein, Watson and Crick, Darwin. Calling for book burning was unprecedented in modern history of the journal. Maddox compared the book to Hitler's Mime Kampf and its potential for damage. He wasn't calling Sheldrake wrong. He was calling him dangerous. Maddox even said Sheldrake's not a real sign.
Starting point is 00:21:17 scientific theorist. It's not even a theory. It's an exercise in pseudoscience. You see, Sheldricks is not a scientific theory. Sheldrack is putting forward magic instead of science. And that can be condemned, but in exactly the language that the Pope's used to condemn Galileo. And for the same reasons, it is heresy. Professors curious about Morphid resonance went silent, went silent. Graduate students were warned away. Research funding dried up. But the more the establishment
Starting point is 00:21:53 attacked Sheldrake, the more people read his work. The book-burning editorial made Sheldraig's book a bestseller. He became the most talked-about biologists in Britain overnight. Not for science, but for the attempt to suppress it. But the worst attack on Sheldrake wasn't intellectual. April 2nd, 2008, he was giving a lecture in Santa Fe. A man in the audience rushed the stage with a knife. He stabbed Sheldrake in the leg, then security tackled him. The attacker told police and a reporter afterward that Sheldrake was using him as a subject
Starting point is 00:22:28 in telepathic mind control experiments for five years. The wound was serious, but Sheldrake recovered, and days later, still using a walker, he gave a talk titled Science and Hope. In March 2013, Sheldrake gave a TEDx talk called the science delusion. He challenged what he called the ten dogmas of modern science. That nature is mechanical, that matter is unconscious, and that mind is nothing but brain activity, that kind of stuff. Well, Ted removed the talk from their YouTube channel. Bloggers campaigned against it.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Ted consulted what they called a science board, but they never told us who was on it. The talk was about scientific dogmatism. The response was dogmatic censorship. But the attempts to silent Shell Drake kept backfiring. The band TED Talk got millions of views on other channels. The stabbing made international news. Every attack made more people ask, what are they so afraid of? Then a British TV broadcaster had an idea. They would test morphic resonance on the largest scale ever attempted.
Starting point is 00:23:39 So now there were two million people about to test this theory on live TV. In 1984, British television ran an experiment. They showed viewers a puzzle, one of those hidden pictures where you stare at random dots until an image appears. About two million people watched. Then researchers tested people who hadn't seen the broadcast. Some were in different cities, some were in different countries. They solved that specific puzzle faster than a control group tested before the broadcast. And not a little faster, much faster.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Those two million people who watched the show gave Nature a new memory, a solution to that puzzle. Shel Drake said this could apply to crossword puzzles. He said crosswords should get easier to solve as the day goes on. As more and more people solve the puzzle, they're creating and reinforcing a morphic memory. That new memory makes the puzzle easier for everyone trying the puzzle for the first time. Oh, maybe that's why I'm so naturally great with women, huh? I don't even know what... Moriarty men historically put up numbers
Starting point is 00:24:57 that would make a Wilk Chamberlain jealous. Okay, gross, thanks, thanks. Great interjection. Some newspapers tested the puzzle theory. The London Evening Standard found their puzzles were solved 20% faster in the evening after thousands of people spent the day solving them. Then there's the Flynn effect.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Since the 1920s, IQ scores have risen worldwide by about three points per decade. Every generation scores higher than the last on the exact same tests. Experts credit better nutrition, better education, better test-taking skills, but the gains show up
Starting point is 00:25:38 even in pattern recognition tests that don't rely on education at all. Morphic Resonance says as more humans master cognitive tasks, those tasks become easier for everyone. Shell Drake's most famous research involves dogs. He documented over 200 cases of dogs that go to the door or window when their owners decide to come home, not when they come home, when they decide to. Owners came home at random
Starting point is 00:26:06 times in unfamiliar vehicles. The dogs still knew. One dog, a terrier named JT, was tested over 100 times. Within 10 seconds of his owner leaving work, JT went to the window 85% of the time. The owner was four miles away. Then there's the sense of being stared at. Sheldrick ran 25,000 trials. Subjects guessed whether someone was looking at them from behind. They guessed right 55% of the time. Should be 50%. Now, 5% might not seem like much, but with that huge sample size, it's significant. We've all had that feeling where we know someone's looking at us. The book Lifetide released in 1979 is about monkeys on Koshima Island. One learned to wash sweet potatoes in the ocean.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Other monkeys got her. Once 100 monkeys learned the trick, monkeys on other islands started washing potatoes too. Just like McDougal's rats, knowledge had jumped across the ocean. We've got rats and monkeys teaching each other on different islands, dogs and plants that can predict the future, people solving puzzles faster as the day goes on.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I just like blue tits and milk. Okay. Hey, hey, didn't Luke Skywalker drink that stuff in The Last Jedi? I don't know what you're talking about. I never heard of that movie. Fair enough. I love the concept of morphic resonance, but is it true? Well, let's start with the bad news.
Starting point is 00:27:51 That famous monkey story, that's completely made up. Lye Watson took real observations from primatologists and added a little fiction for fun. The crystal formations have a conventional explanation too. When scientists first synthesize a new compound, it resists crystallization. After one lab succeeds, others find it easier. Sheldrake says it's morphic fields. Chemists say it's seed crystals. Microscopic traces on clothing, in beards, on shared equipment that's shipped between labs.
Starting point is 00:28:23 And once the crystals exist anywhere, they exist everywhere. No mysterious fields required. That one is a stretch for me, but that's the official scientific scientist. scientific view. Now the crossword puzzles and TV experiments are interesting, but the effects are small and the methods are contested. So they can go either way. It's not the smoking gun that Sheldrake needs. But then there are the rats. McDougal's data is real. Crew replicated it. Agar replicated it on a separate continent. Rats got smarter across generations with no physical contact. Critics explain it like this. Early generations of rats,
Starting point is 00:29:03 were stressed by inexperienced researchers who didn't handle them properly. So as the researchers got better at handling them, the rats did better on the test. Now, I think the skeptics lose that one, especially when we consider something discovered decades after McDougal died. Epigenetics. This shows acquired traits can chemically tag DNA and pass information to offspring. So the effect might be real, the cause we still don't know. The dogs anticipating their owners coming home is
Starting point is 00:29:36 Sheldrake's strongest published work. Critics have found methodological problems, but defenders have replicated the results. That one is still being debated, and every dog owner has thoughts. Now here's the core problem that skeptics use. Morific resonance requires information transfer with no energy cost,
Starting point is 00:29:55 and that violates the law of conservation of energy. Physics has rules, but not all physics, not all physics, not quantum physics. Two particles, separated by any distance, a room, a galaxy, it doesn't matter. They respond to each other instantly. This was confirmed in the 1980s.
Starting point is 00:30:15 That's an instant transfer of information that ignores the law of conservation of energy and ignores the speed of light. And nobody knows how this works. In the 1930s, Carl Jung proposed a collective unconscious, a shared reservoir of human, an experience running beneath individual awareness. Physicist David Bohm said all points in space
Starting point is 00:30:39 are fundamentally connected. Erwin Schrodinger, one of the architects of quantum mechanics and famous for the cat, argued that individual consciousness is just an illusion, that there's only one mind. Max Planck, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, all arrived at the same place from completely different directions. Some through mathematics, some through watching rats
Starting point is 00:31:02 learn mazes, some through quantum theory itself. All of them looked at the universe and landed on the same word, connected. Maybe the laws of nature are fixed, written into the fabric of reality before the first star formed. Or maybe the universe creates memories that strengthen through repetition, always evolving. We can't prove it either way.
Starting point is 00:31:26 But there is one scientific fact that nobody can deny. A long time ago, Every atom in your body was connected to every other atom and every other person on Earth. Every atom in your body was connected to every atom in every animal, every plant, every rock, and every planet in the universe. And if the smallest things in existence
Starting point is 00:31:49 stay connected to each other across any distance, then acting like the people around you are separate from you isn't just unkind. It's unscientific.
