Time Loops

Precognition, Retrocausation, and the Unconscious

By: Eric Wargo

Narrated by: Aaron Parker

Time Is Not What You Think It Is. Neither Are You.

Welcome to a world where participants in psychology experiments respond to pictures they haven’t seen yet … where physicists influence the past behavior of a light beam by measuring its photons now … and where dreamers and writers literally remember their future. This landmark study explores the principles that allow the future to affect the present, and the present to affect the past, without causing paradox. It also deconstructs the powerful taboos that, for centuries, have kept mainstream science from taking phenomena like retrocausation and precognition seriously. We are four-dimensional creatures, and sometimes we are even caught in time loops—self-fulfilling prophecies where effects become their own causes.

Eric Wargo has a PhD in anthropology from Emory University and works as a science writer and editor in Washington, DC. In his spare time, he writes about science fiction, consciousness, and the paranormal at his popular blog, The Nightshirt. Time Loops is his first book.

Critic reviews

“I consider Time Loops to be the most significant intellectual work on a paranormal topic in the last fifty years …. Not only does Eric Wargo show us how strong the evidence for precognition really is—already a major accomplishment. He gives us scientific, psychological, and interpretive tools for thinking about these phenomena in strikingly original ways.”— Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of Secret Body

“Eric Wargo writes with epic breadth, keen observation, deep rigor and—above all—great integrity on a topic of innate controversy. He succeeds gloriously in providing this century’s first historical and analytic overview of precognition and its causes.”— Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of The Miracle Club

incredible listen!

amazing work by Eric Wargo! very fascinating information. one drawback is the deep breath the narrator makes between sentences.

finally!

I have been wanting for Eric to release an audio version for so long. was thrilled to see it when I randomly checked, or was it random idk I just had a hunch .. the narrator is ok , not great but ok. I wish Eric could have read it. maybe his 2nd book? imo everyone should read this book!

Recalling the Future

Interesting details of those who experienced this pre-recollection. The narrator was not the best choice for this book.

Threading the loop

Fascinating and thought provoking. I had to listen in chunks and digest as I went along because there's a lot to think about. An intelligent, multidisciplinary discussion that interweaves science, psychology, literature, and philosophy. Makes a convincing argument that we are all precogs and that time loops operate in many aspects of our lives.

The Dullest Book in the world!

Wargo gets sidetracked. Time Loops is a collection of biographies of Dunne, Freud, Jung, Priestley, Dicks, etc… not much original thinking from Wargo.
