- Edwin May Edwin May is a particle physicist who succeeded Hal Puthoff as principal investigator of the government's remote viewing research program in 1985, moved the program from SRI to SAIC in 1991, and directed the program's final phase until its 1995 declassification and termination.
- Hal Puthoff Harold E. 'Hal' Puthoff is a physicist who co-founded the Stanford Research Institute remote viewing program with Russell Targ in 1972 under CIA contract, served as its principal investigator through 1985, and later contributed technical research to the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.
- Russell Targ Russell Targ is a laser physicist who co-founded the Stanford Research Institute remote viewing program with Hal Puthoff in 1972 under CIA contract, co-authored the program's landmark 1974 Nature paper and 1976 IEEE paper, and continued parapsychology research and writing after leaving SRI.

- Animate Physics Animate physics is a term describing the study of physical phenomena in living organisms - particularly consciousness and psi abilities - contrasted with inanimate physics governing non-living matter, used in the Soviet and American parapsychology research context.
- Critical Mass Critical mass is the minimum amount of fissile material required for a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, first calculated for uranium by French physicist Francis Perrin in 1939 and central to both nuclear weapons design and proliferation intelligence.
- Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Waves Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) waves are 3-300 Hz electromagnetic signals whose ability to penetrate water made them the primary U.S. Navy communication channel for submerged nuclear submarines and a research focus in Soviet psychotronic weapons programs.
- Faraday Cage A Faraday cage is an electromagnetic shielding enclosure invented by Michael Faraday in 1836, used in parapsychology research to test whether psychic phenomena could be blocked by shielding subjects from external electromagnetic signals.
- Hydrogen Bomb A hydrogen bomb is a thermonuclear weapon deriving its explosive force from nuclear fusion reactions triggered by a fission primary, making it orders of magnitude more powerful than a fission bomb alone.
- Nuclear Fission Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller, lighter nuclei, often producing gamma photons, and releasing a very large amount of energy.
- Pauli Effect The Pauli Effect is the anecdotal tendency of technical equipment to encounter critical failure in the presence of certain people.
- Tachyon A tachyon is a hypothetical subatomic particle that travels faster than light, not forbidden by quantum physics, and invoked in fringe physics contexts including some parapsychology research as a proposed mechanism for precognition.
