Anyone know anything about telepathy?

Question

Disclaimer:
NO, I CAN'T READ YOUR MIND
BUT, YOU CAN READ MINE.
SO DON'T ASK!
AND NO, IT'S NOT BEING CRAZY THAT CAUSES ME TO ASK THIS!

Any information (as long as it's concrete) is welcome. Especially wonderful would be if you could tell me if mine was inherent since birth or developed from occurrences.

Answer 1

It;s true that few have it.

Answer 2

Telepathy - comes from the Greek work, tele "distant", and patheia "feeling", is the communication of information from one mind to another by means other than the known perceptual senses.

Unlike psychokinesis, telepathy is a passive form of psionics. While the existence of telepathy has not been scientifically proved, some parapsychological research studies have produced favourable results, although scores significantly above chance are very rare.

Answer 3

lol

I thought you were an expert at that.

I remember you asking questions like these previosly

Answer 4

Yes, it is scary. I think it is a heightened sense of awareness.

Answer 5

Telepathy (from the Greek τηλε, tele, "distant"; and πάθεια, patheia, "feeling") is the communication of information from one mind to another by means other than the known perceptual senses.[1] The word itself was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Fredric W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). Considered a form of extra-sensory perception or anomalous cognition, telepathy is often associated with other paranormal phenomena, such as precognition, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis. However, unlike psychokinesis, telepathy is a passive form of psionics. While the existence of telepathy has not been scientifically proved, some parapsychological research studies have produced favourable results, although scores significantly above chance are very rare.[2]


[edit] Theories of telepathy
Many theories exist to explain telepathy.


[edit] Non-classical science
In seeking a scientific basis for telepathy, some psi proponents have looked to aspects of quantum theory as a possible explanation of telepathy. In general, psi theorists have made both general and specific analogies between the "unaccepted unknowns" of religion and parapsychology, and the "accepted unknowns" in the quantum sciences.

However, physicists state that quantum mechanical effects apply only to objects at sub-nanometer scales, and since the physical components of the mind are thought to be much larger than this, these quantum effects must be negligible. Still, the true definition of what is "negligible" is perhaps unclear (see Quantum mind). Some physicists, such as Nick Herbert [1], have pondered whether quantum mechanical effects would permit forms of communication, perhaps including telepathy, that aren't dependent on "classical" mechanisms such as electromagnetic radiation. Experiments have been conducted (by scientists such as Gao Shen at the Institute of Quantum Physics in Beijing, China) to study whether quantum entanglements can be verified between human minds. Such experiments usually include monitoring for synchronous EEG patterns between two hypothetically "entangled" minds. Thus far, no conclusive evidence has been revealed.[2]





[edit] Scientific investigation of telepathy
Main article: Scientific investigation of telepathy

Zener cardsNumerous scientific experiments seeking evidence of telepathy have been conducted over more than a century. While many of those have yielded positive results[3], most notably using the Ganzfield procedure, a reliably reproduceable experimental technique has yet to be found. This lack of reproducibility, as well as some flaws in experimental design and, on occasion, fraud, has led skeptics to argue that there is no credible scientific evidence for the existence of telepathy at all. Parapsychologists such as Dean Radin, on the other hand, argue that the sheer amount of positive results from reputable studies, particularly using meta-analysis, provides strong evidence for telepathy that is almost impossible to account for using any other means. Those supporting the existence of telepathy also note that very few experiments in psychology, biology, or medicine can be reproduced at will with consistent results.[4][5]


[edit] The future of telepathy

Converging Technologies, a 2002 report exploring the potential for synergy among nano-, bio-, informational and cognitive technologies (NBIC) for enhancing human performance.Some scientists and intellectuals, occasionally referred to by themselves or others as "transhumanists", believe that technologically enabled telepathy, coined "techlepathy," will be the inevitable future of humanity. Kevin Warwick of the University of Reading, England is one of the leading expert proponents of this view, and has based all of his recent Cybernetics research around developing practical, safe devices for directly connecting human nervous systems together with computers and with each other. He believes techno-enabled telepathy will become the sole or at least the primary form of human communication in the future. He asserts that this will happen by means of the principle of natural selection, which he predicts will force nearly everybody to make use of the technology for economic and social reasons once it becomes available to all.[6][7]


[edit] Telepathy in fiction
Telepathy is commonly used by superheroes and supervillains, and figures in many science fiction novels, etc. Notable telepaths include Lwaxana Troi of Star Trek: The Next Generation; Lyta Alexander, Alfred Bester, and the rest of the Psi Corps of Babylon 5; Dr. Wendy Smith of seaQuest DSV; and Jean Grey, Charles Xavier and Emma Frost of X-Men.

The mechanics of telepathy in fiction vary widely. Some fictional telepaths are limited to receiving only thoughts that are deliberately sent by other telepaths, or even to receiving thoughts from a specific other person. For example, in Robert A. Heinlein's 1956 novel Time for the Stars, certain pairs of twins are able to send telepathic messages to each other. Some telepaths can read the thoughts only of those they touch. At the opposite end of the spectrum, some telepathic characters continuously sense the thoughts of those around them and may control this ability only with difficulty, or not at all. In such cases, telepathy is often portrayed as a mixed blessing or as a curse.

Some fictional telepaths possess mind control abilities, which can include "pushing" thoughts, feelings, or hallucinatory visions into the mind of another person, or completely taking over another person's mind and body (similar to spiritual possession). Characters with this ability may or may not also have the ability to read thoughts.

Answer 6

yes, it's a myth

Answer 7

no its actually happene more so lately
