About the SSE

The Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) is a professional organization of scientists and scholars who study unusual and unexplained phenomena. Subjects often cross mainstream boundaries, such as consciousness, ufos, and alternative medicine, yet often have profound implications for human knowledge and technology. All topics amenable to scientific inquiry are welcome.

The SSE was founded in 1982 and has approximately 800 members in 45 countries worldwide. The SSE publishes a peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE), and holds annual meetings in the USA and biennial meetings in Europe. Associate and student memberships are available to the public, and everyone is encouraged to attend meetings and participate with the society.

NEW SSE TALKS

Gravito-inertial Propulsion Effect Predicted by the BSM - Supergravitation Unified Theory Apr 05, 2009 at 7:30 AM EST | S. Sarg Stoyan Sarg discusses how the BSM-SG theory predicts that proper modulation of the physical vacuum can reduce the gravito-inertial mass of a spacecraft, resulting in a new propulsion mechanism with features similar to that of UFOs. Watch this Talk.

The Imaging of Acupuncture Points and the Characterization of Signal Pathways Using fMRI and Quantitative Ultrasonic Methods Apr 09, 2009 at 4:39 PM EST | J. P. Jones Professor and NIH director Joie P. Jones discusses an on-going project that utilizes computer imaging to map acupuncture meridians and their physiological pathways in the body.

Swanson Physicist and NSF fellow Claude Swanson examines the evidence supporting a range of anomalous phenomena, from UFOs to parapsychology, and discusses their potential implications to physical theory.
