Rupert Sheldrake is an English biologist and author, born in 1942. He studied natural sciences at Cambridge, took a PhD in biochemistry there in 1967, and worked as a Cambridge fellow, a Royal Society researcher, and a plant physiologist, with early work on how plants grow.

Sheldrake is best known for his hypothesis of "morphic resonance" — the idea that nature carries a kind of inherent memory, so that patterns repeat and are inherited across time. He approaches it as a testable scientific proposal.

He has published around 100 scientific papers and nine books, beginning with A New Science of Life, and continues to write and lecture on the boundaries of science and consciousness.

His theory of morphic resonance lacks mainstream scientific acceptance and has been widely criticized as unproven or pseudoscientific. Maybe presents his ideas for you to weigh, not as established science.

On Maybe since 2026.
