I got the message below by email, sent to my work account. Both times I've written a feature article on physics, at least a couple of crackpot wanna-be physicists have gotten in touch with me to seek help in promoting their new revolutionary theory. I can't tell if this message I got is some new genre of spam, or another misguided attempt at physics. Re: Kochab, probable supernova star, Ursa Minor.... Estimated time-line,
within 12 months....

According to some astronomers, the next supernova in our galaxy will be thousands of light-years distant, and it might be thousands of years before it happens....!
Details submitted to the advanced research group PEAR, Princeton University, has produced the first scientific verification of "psychic relativity" - i.e., the ability of "mind" to transcend space and time.
The theory in physics is called 'acausality' - simply meaning that unrelated events can come together to form "meaningful coincidences" - which, at times, can be interpreted....
Naturally the problem for human consciousness is accepting a greater reality, and making the necessary adjustments for our survival as a species. No easy task, considering all the belief systems, i.e., prejudices, etc.
Ref: Dr. Robert G. Jahn, former Dean, School of Applied Science, Princeton University.
Theory: Prof. W. Pauli, Nobel laureate-physics: "on the nature of transcendence."

UPDATE: Todd Laurence seems to be a real person, or at least some kind of persona, who reviewed a Carl Sagan book on Amazon, and has a profile on Scitizen. This is kind of disappointing, because it's seeming more like the crackpot option was right. I was kind of looking forward to getting more random physics spam, though. I guess I'll just have to browse the titles of papers in the Arxiv; it has the same kind of feel as Todd's message.
