John G. Taylor

John Gerald Taylor (1931-2012) was a British physicist and author known for his work in popular science and his critical investigations into paranormal phenomena. In his book *Science and the Supernatural* (1980), he concluded that alleged paranormal events were explainable by natural scientific mechanisms, fraud, credulity, or failed under controlled conditions, asserting they contradicted established physics. He was also Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at King's College London and contributed to neural network modeling and consciousness studies.
