Human magnetic moment

Their appearance here at the same as the army attack was one more of the many coincidences which some readers of my biographer’s novels have found incredible. These people do not not know that some men are not only endowed with “animal magnetism,” but some men also have what I call a “human magnetic moment.” That is, some men, of whom I am one, are the focus of unusual events, of mathematically unlikely coincidences. They radiate something - a quantity, a “field,” which pulls events together. The field slightly distorts, or warps, the semifluid structure of occurrences, of space objects intertwined with the time flow.

Lord Grandrith, Apeman of the Jungle, explains the coincidental nature of events in the lives of men like himself and Doc Caliban in A Feast Unknown by Philip Jose Farmer.
