Science has demonstrated unequivocally
that our physical reality can not be separated
from our conscious awareness of it.

Dr. Jahn is the founder of PEAR
(Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research).
http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/
From that site:
"The enormous databases produced by PEAR provide clear evidence that
human thought and emotion can produce measureable influences on
physical reality. The researchers have also developed several
theoretical models that attempt to accommodate the empirical results,
which cannot be explained by any currently recognized scientific
model."
Here is one of his articles that I found interesting:

where he discusses scientific problems and models.
I got a chuckle out of this portion where Jahn is beginning to
contemplate panpsychism: ...

Then science is unequivocally wrong our your interpretation is faulty.

Most 'physical reality' is outside awareness. If this is conceptualized
as 'amount' the the 'amount' of awareness we have of the physical
influences on each of our 'realities' makes awareness near non-existent
as a percentage.

To start, what we are aware of is loaded with mistakes as proved by what
was thought in the past. Only the arrogance of the perpetual present
'tells us' that now we really know the truth. Every age 'really know the
truth'.

Research has also shown that what is consciously communicated in any
exchange is a small percent of what is in fact communicated. Example the
axiom: "The teacher is the curriculum". Or the person of the teacher
communicates to a class more information than the words of that teacher.
