Rupert Sheldrake was a researcher at the Royal Society, and then went to India , where he took up the position of chief plant physiologist at the International Agricultural Research Institute for Crops in a semi-arid tropical zone.
Theory of morphogenetic resonance
Sheldrake morphogenetic fields are hypothetical fields that organize the development of structures in the material world. Once it has arisen, such a structure, according to Sheldrake, can be reproduced in similar forms in the future, while overcoming spatial delimitation. An example is the folding of a protein chain - once arising, according to Sheldrake, this structure could be reproduced with greater probability than any other.
Theory has met with sharp criticism in the natural sciences.

- The idea of a morphogenetic field formed the basis of games:
