How does psychic power work?
Why does the CIA use remote viewing and how does it work?
How does the power of prayer and energetic healing work?

These and much more are all discussed in The Field in relation to science and the hidden force of the universe. McTaggart, an investigative journalist, describes scientific discoveries that she believes point to a unifying concept of the universe. At issue is the microscopic vibrations in outer space as well as within and between physical objects on earth.

These fields, McTaggart asserts, are a "cobweb of energy exchange" that link everything in the universe; they control everything from cellular communication to the workings of the mind, and they could be harnessed for unlimited propulsion fuel, levitation, ESP, spiritual healing and more. Physicists have been aware of the likelihood of this field for years, McTaggart writes, but, constrained by orthodoxy, they have ignored its effects, which she likens to "subtracting out God" from their equations.
