Dear Visitor,
Scientists For Peace was set up so scientists that are actively engaged in a proven peace-creating program could inform the public of their commitment to helping create a peaceful world.
Since you may not have read the home page of For Peace, that program is Transcendental Meditation. Hundreds of studies have been done on the TM program and the findings published in major scientific journals as well as various magazines. The research shows that the TM programs create a “peace effect.”
“Maharishi predicted in 1960 that if just one percent of the world’s population practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique, there would be an end to war. In 1974, scientists noted a growing number of cities where one percent of the population had learned the Transcendental Meditation technique. They looked at crime statistics in these “one percent” cities, They found that when a city reached the one percent level there was a decrease in the crime rate. At the same time, matched control cities maintained an increase in crime rate—as did the United States as a whole. They named this phenomenon the Maharishi Effect.” (From www.tm.org) More research can be found at http://www.istpp.org/crime_prevention.
If you are looking for a specific scientist that is involved in the TM program and you know his or her name, the name may be in the list on the left. Clicking on it would take you to his or her page, which will have contact information. If not, contact me and I will find contact information.
If you have any problems or questions, please contact the For Peace office.
