Pet theories in the lab

To begin to "prove" his radical ideas, one wonders if Rupert Sheldrake ("Dogmas and pet theories", THES, May 5) made a bid for an experiment in the recent series of experiments performed in the "Megalab", using the national radio and television audiences as participants?

And would "proof" be available at all in the Popperian sense to a theory of "morphic resonance"?
