Kane Winthrop (Eyes Wide Open) founded this site as a focus for paranormal investigation.

Earlier this year, the site was hijacked and redirected to www.00112358.net where a timer device counted down to July 17th

On July 17th, Kane regained control of the site and established The Ocular Effect investigation to research the phenomenon now known as The Oculus.

Professor Kane Winthrop is currently Co-Chairman of the Southwest Noumenal Society, and author of several published articles on Quantum Mechanics.

Professor Winthrop received his MA in Particle Physics and his Doctorate in Condensed Matter at Withrow College in Massachusetts in the late 1980s. He received Honorable Mention in the 1992 Wertman Prize in physics for his work on interpreting the Copenhagen Theory of Quantum Mechanics. He and others later constructed a unique version of string theory which brought together a multi-dimensional world view with the Standard Model called "brane world."

In 1997, Professor Winthrop relocated in New Mexico and joined a regional chapter of the Noumenal Society, applying the rigors of scientific skepticism to a variety of unexplained phenomena. Professor Winthrop also helped to organize an annual meeting in Noumenal Events in the Southwestern United States, and built alliances between scientists, social scientists, artists and experts in the unexplained.

He now contributes to several online journals, writing about paranormal history and practice around the world. He also maintains links with organizations in countries as diverse as China, United Kingdom, Argentina, Finland, Australia, Brazil and the Canada.

He currently resides near Santa Fe, where he raises alpacas and Angora goats and studies local ayahuasca medicinal knowledge.
