I think Haramein's story and his approach to the pursuit of understanding are inspirational, and I suspect that his work is part of an overall paradigm shift in the pursuit of knowledge. I love the fact that he joins science with spirituality.
. . . When Bohm speaks of the undivided wholeness of the cosmos and the superimplicate order that is behind and within all things, he invokes religious ideas of an ineffable and unknowable ground of being--Brahman, Tao, and so forth. The meeting ground for science and religion is indeed upon us. We live in very exciting times. Now is the time for dialogue across what is known as science and religion or spirituality, and between and among disciplines, in a search for what Buckminster Fuller called "comprehensivist" thinking--the largest patterned integrity that is trans-disciplinary and "wholistic" without borders, a nonhabitual, nondetermined, nonlocal thought that is connected with Spirit. . . .

I used to practice meditation for quite a while, on a regular basis, first myself, than in a Buddhist temple under the guidance of a monk.

I do think that meditation is useful and important . . .

May be, may be not.
Meditation does help concentration and such, but it's not a source of info, as you framed it. You cannot extract data out of your meditation session.

You make it sound as if data is the only type of info there is.
Maybe that's true for you, however.

I used data as an interchangeable piece. Switch it to "information" if you will, or structure. If you are hoping to tap into some occult knowledge of physics... What's the word Bob likes to use? Oh, here: bollocks!

Thanks for your participation, but in my opinion, you still haven't answered the question.

You're saying I left parts of your post out? When I quoted you "Meditation without background is utterly useless"?
Or are you talking about my paraphrase of the series of posts by buddhasystem?

Regardless, maybe one of these days someone will post about their experience with meditation as a source of inspiration for scientific endeavor.

This meditation was recorded on Maui, at Nassim Haramein's Delegate Program, on January 5th, 2012. It is set to Solfeggio frequencies to aid in achieving a meditative state. In order to help align ourselves with new frequencies, Nassim Haramein recommends several activities such as eating raw organic food, re-birthing/breathwork, sun gazing, daily meditation....etc. The more heart centered we are, the easier it is to connect with our galactic brothers and sisters. Enjoy, copy, share, meditate, love...often.
