One of the most prominent yet perplexing studies was published in 1965 in the top-tier journal Science by Thomas D. Duane and Thomas Behrendt of the department of ophthalmology at Thomas Jefferson University, in Philadelphia. (I don't know if one's first name had to be Thomas at Thomas Jefferson University, or if it was just assigned to you when you joined the faculty, but it might be worth looking into.)
Though he points out the repetition of the name Thomas, Radin doesn't mention what the name means: "twin." What was the subject of this study by Thomas and Thomas of Thomas Jefferson University?
When you look up this study on PubMed, the National Library of Science website, you'll find a one-line abstract: "Alpha rhythms have been elicited in one of a pair of identical twins as a result of evoking these rhythms in a conventional manner solely in the other."
So Thomas and Thomas -- Twin and Twin -- published a study about subconscious telepathic rapport between identical twins, and they conducted the study at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia -- a city with a name that refers to the bond between siblings. It derives from a Greek word literally meaning "the same womb." The definition of twin is "either of two people who shared the same uterus at the same time."
For one more twin angle, Radin later discovers the existence of -- italics his -- "a second report by Duane and Behrendt" on the same subject, which had never been published. So the twin study published by Twin and Twin of Twin University in the City of Love Between Womb-Sharers was itself one of a pair of "twin" studies.
And I see that it's past midnight, so I'm publishing this post on 2/2.

William,
Very interesting you should mention the date.
After I published my previous comment and mentioned twins,
I thought: "hmmm, tomorrow is 2/2."
My grandfather was a twin.
Twinning is very important in mythology
and in the Sacred Sciences because the underlining
meaning is that everything is connected.
Different but the same.
A parallel universe is a concept of twinning.
"I am he as you are he and you are me
and we are all together".---I am the Walrus
Our opponents are intrigued with twinning
especially where it concerns rivalry. Good vs Evil
and survival of the fittest ( two becomes one ).

One Eye
Jacob and Esau
Twin Towers
Twin Cities
Twin Golden Gates
Romulus and Remus
Isis and Osiris
Apollo and Artemis
Freyr and Freyja
Copy and paste:
"Divine twins in twin mythology are identical
to either one or both place of a god.
The Feri gods are not separated entities
but are unified into one center.
These divine twins can function alone in one body,
either functioning as a male or as male and female
as they desire.
Divine twins represent a polarity in the world.
This polarity may be great or small and at times
can be opposition. Twins are often seen to be
rivals or adversaries."

There's a 1960 Twilight Zone episode titled
Mirror Image which has always been one of
my favorite Twilight Zone episodes.
Interestingly I just noticed it aired
on Feb 26, 1960. I had just turned 5 years old.
Feb 26 is first decan Pisces.
Note the setting takes place in a Bus Depot ( Station).
Recall my recent comment about Lori and
the symbolic meaning of a bus ( vehicle ).
Note the suitcase in the clip below.
'Coincdently' back in the 1990's I bought
a vintage suitcase that looks very similar
to the one in the photo ( see second link ).
At the time in the 1990's I had no clue that
the suitcase I found in the vintage store
would one day connect with a 1960's Twilight Zone
episode. I of course knew at the time
the suitcase was probably from the 1950's.
However I certainty did not think that
that there would be a connection in Feb of 2026.
In the early 2008 or so I decided to
store my many dream journals
in my vintage suitcases.

William,
I forgot to mention. There is currently
a 'twin' on the world stage.
Donald Trump. June 14th Gemini.
IMHO, Trump is a perfect example of duality creating chaos,
which is why I believe he was 'selected' ( oops I mean elected)
as POTUS twice.
Interestingly the Republican Convention in 2016
was in CLEAVE-land. A coincidence?
So many times Trump announces something one day
and the next day he "walks it back."
Nothing progresses in that kind of uncertainty.
Of course, the twin Janus is the god of beginnings,
gates, transitions
boundaries, roads, duality, doorways, passages,
paths and endings.
Humanity is, and IMHO, on the precipice of
a very very interesting time and passage in history.
It wasn't relevant when I shared the image (as reposted in "Taking both pills"), but that pair of red and blue-green robots are called "Twin Novas". They're obviously not completely identical -- the red one has a laser cannon and the blue one has some sort of melee weapon -- but the funny thing is those colours are alternatives for the player's use. The Twin Novas normally found in the game world are white (instead of red) and black (vs blue).
