The discussion revolves around Wolfram Schommers' Projection Theory, particularly in relation to the holographic principle and its implications. Participants explore the nature of Schommers' work, its classification as pop science, and the search for supporting or opposing literature.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the classification of Schommers' work or its relevance to established scientific theories. Multiple competing views remain regarding the nature and validity of the theory discussed.
There are unresolved questions about the definitions of "Projection Theory" and the theoretical implications of Schommers' ideas. The discussion reflects a mix of skepticism and interest in the theoretical aspects presented.
IF, by "Projection Theory", you mean the defense mechanism of Psychological Projection (aka blame shifting), then you're deep into whacko crackpot territory if you think that relates to anything in the mainstream physics of the objective real world.Keth said:I'm trying to dig up anything that supports or discounts Schommers' theory as it relates to Projection Theory. Tried some Googling and came up with naught.

If you meant something else by "projection theory", you'll have to give us a better clue...
That's kinda where I am but any help is usefulhutchphd said:My search returned quite a number of citations. Perhaps this is somewhat nebulous subject matter.
Keth said:Summary:: Looking for any work related to Schommers' book 'Cosmic Secrets'
It doesn't read like a popsci book to me but the premise is unique to the usual theory. It's mostly theoretical which is why I was hoping find something a bit more solid. I do appreciate the feed back.PeterDonis said:This book is a pop science book, not a textbook or scientific paper. If you want to discuss some theory by Schommers, you will need to give a reference to a textbook or scientific paper.

Many many thanks!PeterDonis said:It's not a textbook or a peer-reviewed paper. That means it's a pop science book.
If there are peer-reviewed papers published on the theory, you can probably find links to them on the author's own website (which will probably be a web page provided by his academic institution). Most scientists have links to their papers there.
