Telepathy

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Telepathy is the transmission of information from one person to another without using any of our known sensory channels or physical interaction. The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Frederic W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research, and has remained more popular than the earlier expression thought-transference.

Scientific consensus does not view telepathy as a real phenomenon. Many studies seeking to detect, understand, and utilize telepathy have been done, but according to the prevailing view among scientists, telepathy lacks replicable results from well-controlled experiments.
Telepathy is a common theme in modern fiction and science fiction, with many extraterrestrials, superheroes and supervillains having the telepathic ability.

Do you think this is actually possible?

Have you ever had telepathic communication with someone?

Do animals communicate telepathically?

Do you think telepathy is possibly an innate ability that everyone has, but has forgotten how to use?

If everyone were able to communicate telepathically, what would be different?

Given the fact that consciousness is nothing but a bio-electrical reaction that is susceptible to outside forces, possibly even including quantum entanglement.... if anybody says that it is impossible, perhaps then man was also never meant to fly.

Yeah I'm not sure what "quantum entanglement" is.

"the transmission of information from one person to another without using any of our known sensory channels or physical interaction"
Eh, sure, that should be possible.
All you need to do is manipulate some of the data the brain is getting.

"If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet."
- Niels Bohr (1885 - 1962) Nobel Prize for Physics

Quantum entanglement is the verified phenomenon where information about the quantum state of one sub-atomic particle is transferred instantaneously over considerable distance and through various physical barriers, and indeed, even over substantial periods of time, to it's "mated" sub-atomic particle, such as a single photon of light that has been split by a prism.

Even usually dry-mouthed physicists call the matter 'spooky'.

It violates almost every law of physics that is in the book...

except one.

Very interesting Thanks for always being on the quest for knowledge
