Quantum physicist Wolfgang Pauli was telekinetic, and Einstein believed in the Paranormal, so why didn't either of those geniuses figure out how psi actually works (paraphysics) but kept on stubbornly trying to use traditional physics to explain it?

Is the finite speed of gravitational interactions and waves the indication of the quantized nature of the gravitational field, similar to the finite speed of light and the quantized electromagnetic field?

In QM, we model particles using wavefunctions that are solutions to the Schrödinger equation given different boundary conditions, but in QFT particles are modeled are disturbances in quantum fields. What's the relationship between these two models?

What is gravity? Is it simply the wake left behind the Quantum field as time runs away from us? Mass slows time down perhaps simply gets in the way of the Quantum field moving at light speed kinda like a big rock in a fast moving stream.
