Harold E. Puthoff

Harold Edward Puthoff, often known as Hal Puthoff, is an American electrical engineer and parapsychologist who started out his career in laser physics. In the 1970s he pivoted to promoting pseudoscientific and occult claims relating to such ideas as remote viewing. His work on remote viewing in the late 1970s and early 1980s was widely criticized. In the 1980 and 1990s he published work on fundamental physics including theories of gravitation and zero-point energy.
