I have seen ESP totally work...not in humans..but in dogs. So I did a research in college. We took 20 dogs and had owners drop them off at 7 am and pick them up exactly at 5:30pm. The dogs were basically in daycare. They were inside a big warehouse building that was 3;stories and many rooms.The dogs were all contained in a big room in on the 2 nd story in the middle of the building There were no windows, man smells , no sounds no visuals to the outside. After a week we noticed the dogs showing certain behaviors about 30 min before 530 that gold is they were aware of the time their owners were going to be picking them up. Like sitting at the door. Then we had a certain group of dogs to be picked.up at 230/exactly. And well we tested all kinds of ways and times and OMG there were about 6 dogs who were closely bonded to their owners actually predict when they were being picked up!!! How?...we took away all the elements that people would say that is what dogs use, such as seeing the owners car, smelling them, or the sun. Oh we told the owners.to start really thinking about their dog about 30 min before they pick them up. . I have seen ESP in animals.... If humans want to study esp. Study animals they totally hold that capability.!!! Its the 6th sense

Dr Rupert Sheldrake did the experiment called “Do Dogs Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home?”

You could ask all the experts "is consciousness real?" and to the best of my knowledge there's no way for science to detect consciousness except for a scientist to ask, 'hey bro, you awake?'

"I think therefore I exist (I am conscious)" Rougly translated from Descartes. The only thing that we cannot doubt is that we witness the experience of being [conscious].

I guess that would depend upon the observer... If the observer is asleep, then perhaps not. If I know that I am awake, but there is no coroborating witness then I might be dreaming that I am awake. Science is tough....

[@coreyp9072]

I believe it's real. Premonitions literally saved my life on 2 occasions. Another time I got a feeling something was very wrong at home and it was. When we understand consciousness we'll be closer to understanding ESP

[@kato856]

If ESP was real the basis behind an Esper/psychic would be like this, this is my idea after all the data I've gathered on the human brain and general biology. Your aim would be to attain your own Personal Reality, a term referring to normal reality being replaced by a person's own reality, (it's a term borrowed from occult circles about having a positive mentality), which is the basis for gaining powers that often defy normal reality but would still be based on the universe's physics. Through a series of tests, studies, lectures, medicines, body stimulation (drugs injected directly into a blood vessel, the brain being pierced directly from behind the ears) and hypnosis, a person's brain can be modified so that they can unlock their very own "Personal Reality". The program would use doublespeak in order for it to deceive observers of the true nature of the many tests in the program, such as "recording skills" and "memorization skills". This would be based on the observer effect seen in the double slit experiment. The curriculum would not only cover how to attain a personal reality and powers, but also various concepts associated with it, such as basic Quantum Mechanic principles, as well as the effects of their powers, such as EM diffusion fields. (The electromagnetic fields around our bodies) A psychic's power would be measured in the irregularity of their body EM waves and a brain scan. EM is not simply weak energy emanating from espers, but the unconscious interference against reality we all produce in our bodies natural as EM waves because of how neurons in the body and brain work. An Esper's powers are controlled using complex calculations done mentally, the same as we do to command our limbs to move by giving it signals through the brain. While the brain is an important component to esper power, it is not the only factor. The entire physical human body is also part of this system and controls the power, though the exact mechanism is not well understood. The Schrödinger's cat thought experiment would be used as a basis for Personal Reality, wherein an esper/psychic could theoretically choose what happens to the cat inside the box to bypass the Uncertainty Principle. Genetics would also have some influence on esper powers, and DNA can be used to determine esper powers such as Precognition, Clairvoyance, Pyrokinesis, Psychometry, Telepathy, Psychokinesis and many more powers based on physics. The term "esper" does not automatically imply ESP, as it could also refer to an ability user that does not have extrasensory perception but instead influences objects in their surroundings, referred to as Psychokinesis. Abilities such as Pyrokinesis would be considered esper powers despite the user not having extrasensory perception. In extension to this, it has been speculated that there may be people who have not realized that they have powers, or that their certain propensities or idiosyncrasies, as subtle as good looks or good penmanship, may actually have these powers. Lastly I'll Explain how articulating our EM fields through a theoretical curriculum could achieve a personal reality and thus abilities based on physical laws: Our brains cells generate electricity. Traditional electricity is generated by the motion of free electrons, but the electricity generated by neurons results from the motion of sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane. The electrical signals only help to transfer information from the cell body through the axon to the synapse. Neurons in the human brain receive electrical signals from thousands of other cells, and long neural extensions called dendrites play a critical role in incorporating all of that information so the cells can respond appropriately. That electrical radiation acts as wifi because it's fixed as a specific psychic ability. Wifi is transferring code via an electrical signal. The physics body is surrounded by their EM Diffusion Fields because the entire body carries neurons, not just the brain. You have hundreds of nerves and billions of neurons in your body. The nervous system is divided into two components - the CNS and the PNS. The CNS includes your brain and spinal cord while the PNS is composed of nerves that branch off from the CNS and into your body's periphery. Why is this important? Because electromagnetism warps space-time. magnetic field has energy and, therefore, acts as a source of gravity, which, according to General Theory of Relativity, bends space-time. Aside from this "trivial" (because all field have energy and, therefore, bend space-time) and indirect (by way of gravity) influence on the geometry of space-time, the more interesting question is, can electromagnetic field directly affect space-time similarly to the way gravitational field affects Riemannian geometry causing curvature. After the discovery of General Theory of Relativity, this question preoccupied Albert Einstein the rest of his life. There have been numerous semi-successful attempts to describe electromagnetic field through geometry by Einstein himself and many others. These included description of electromagnetic field as a torsion of spacetime, as anti-symmetric part of the metric tensor, as nonmetricity of the Affine connection (which I believe properly describes gravitational field) or through extra dimension, as in 5-dimensional Kluza-Klein theory. Despite all this effort, there is no universally accepted unified field theory today. Since matter carries energy (via Einstein's famous relation that energy is mass times the speed of light squared), such objects will have a gravitational field and so they will distort space-time. This is why a human would be able to warp reality to the point that they could achieve an ability based on the universe's physical laws based on what their genetics would code through their electromagnetic signal created by their body. Their interference with and subsequent distortion of reality to create effects is an isolated phenomenon based on quantum theory, their observations of the world based upon their Personal Reality affecting things on a micro quantum level to cause phenomena on a macro level. Now that I've told you all this try to find a way to fund this in a research institution to make psychics real.

[@RogerLuedecke]

He's right, the 'supernatural' isn't super once it can be explained. That's kind of a problem, to assume that it is "super." Just because we can't figure out the mechanics or causal details doesn't necessarily mean something ISN'T. Case in point, dark matter. We have lots of theories of dark matter to explain statistical stuff that has been observed. Yet, the the scientific heterodoxy has little trouble with positing dark matter.

[@Two_But_Not_Two]

We don't even know the mechanism by which gravity works. All we know is that if you stick a chunk of matter in spacetime, the spacetime surrounding the matter warps around it. We have no idea how or why.

[@georgedoyle2487]

“Supernatural” No offence intended but this is an argument from ignorance, a straw man argument and a question begging fallacy and a special pleading fallacy of the highest again. No one even knows what the “natural” is so how could we possibly prove, justify or ground the metaphysical or the “supernatural” using an incomplete theory of reality such as a strictly reductive materialism, atheism or philosophical naturalism that clearly excludes metaphysical realities. It’s question begging!! It’s a strictly reductive, causally closed, effectively complete, fatalistic system that inevitably leads to epistemological nihilism!! The “supernatural” are just labels and straw man arguments and science itself is littered with metaphysical presuppositions, that is transcendental categories such as Truth itself, that is value claims, ought claims, the prescriptive laws of logic, (conscious agents and free will, that is rationality itself and categorical imperatives such as morals and ethics), the uniformity of nature, empiricism itself, universals, absolutes, identity over time, the one and the many, the myth of the given, the ultimate axiological etc. Non of which can be proven, justified or grounded in a strictly reductive materialism, atheism or philosophical naturalism that clearly excludes metaphysical realities!! How could we possibly describe all of these (metaphysical realities), that is the “supernatural”, meta logic, meta ethics, meta mathematics using a theory of “naturalism” when “naturalism” is itself clearly incomplete as a theory of reality and existence!! The fact is that this is an argument from ignorance and a question begging fallacy and special pleading fallacy of the highest degree because under this strictly reductive, causally closed, effectively complete nihilistic world view they are setting the bar regarding what meta logic and metaphysics can’t be from the very outset when that’s the very thing that’s in question!! Equally, we don’t even know what “matter” actually is as evidence from quantum mechanics, particularly quantum superposition, demonstrates that at the fundamental level of “physical” reality “atoms” and “matter” , for want of better words, exists that is unmeasurable, invisible, non locational/bi locational and timeless and is effected by consciousness and collapses at the wave function during the observer effect!!. Would you describe a phenomena that is unmeasurable, invisible, non locational, bi locational and timeless as “natural” or “supernatural”/metaphysical!! As I already pointed out this argument that no one has ever observed the “supernatural”/metaphysical is a straw man argument and is an argument from ignorance and a question begging fallacy as science itself is littered with unprovable metaphysical presuppositions, that is transcendental categories and the “natural”, that is the fundamental and ultimate axiological could in fact be “super”/metaphysical!! Furthermore, one thing is certain and that is that classical materialism is dead!!Because according to quantum mechanics “matter”, for want of a better word… “Can itself be further divided into smaller bits, and those into yet smaller ones, and so on, until what is left lacks shape and (solidity) altogether. At the bottom of the chain of “physical” reduction there are only elusive, phantasmal entities we label as “energy” and “fields”-abstract conceptual tools for describing nature, which themselves seem to lack any real, concrete essence.” (Scientific American). I’m not making any appeals to authority but according to the Oxford professor C.S. Lewis… “You cannot go on ‘explaining away’ forever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on ‘seeing through’ things forever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it. It is good that the window should be transparent, because the street or garden beyond it is opaque. How if you saw through the garden too? It is no use trying to ‘see through’ first principles. If you see through everything then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To ‘see through’ all things is the same as not to see.” (C.S.Lewis) No one has ever empirically observed and seen “matter” outside and independent of mind and consciousness, for we are forever locked in mind. All we can observe are the contents of perception, which are inherently mental. Even the output of measurement instruments is only accessible to us insofar as it is mentally perceived. The strictly reductive materialist, atheist or philosophical naturalists commitment to the gods of determinism and automatism condemns their myths to hollowness!!

[@jimmyjasi-anti-descartes7088]

Yeah to say "Does ESP reveal non-physical" is an a priori prejudiced tittle. It's as though already assuming Dualism before examining evidence

[@Untefelehrr]

I have been interested in parapsychology for a faw years, since I had seemingly precognitive, clairvoyant and psychokinetic experiences. I had flashes of incredibely precise scenarios that happened moments later although there were time and space barriers that should have made it impossible, I've seemingly manages to switch off a street lamp from 200 meters away, one among 20 others, at night, while I was drunk. I seemingly made a coat fall onto a man in a travel bus. I dreamt of the exact scene of meeting with my best friend more than a year after we had quarreled and stopped to talk to each other, I had remote feeling of my mother in pain hours before hearing the news. All this happened, I read the psi litterature, and yet I cannot escape rationalizing it to the extreme, and positing crazy explanations for how all of these experiences could have taken place relying on known physics. Because it's just too crazy to think esp is real. I am divided, I believe, in the same way I know that fire burns because I've experienced it, but at the same time I still doubt it and I find skeptics observations that no signal could channel psi information very convincing. I want to know the TRUTH dammit 😂

[@markstipulkoski1389]

I have precognition regularly, on the order of once or twice a week. These are just "out of the blue" random thoughts or dreams. They are not associated with anything that's on my mind or could have predicted. So I believe you. But for telekinesis, you'd have to legitimately move something, like lifting something off the ground. I suggest what you think was telekinesis was actually precognition. You had precognition about the light going out and the coat falling, things that that were going happen regardless of you. Your precognition triggered your thoughts to attempt the telekinesis. IMO, precognition is quantum entanglement of the future state of you neurons with the current state. Google "Quantum entanglement across time" or retrocausality. Also google Stuart Hameroff research that describes how microtubules within neurons create a shielded environment where quantum effects can persist for long periods of time.

[@Untefelehrr]

@@markstipulkoski1389 You are very right, I also had hypothesized that it may have been the other way around with the lamp and the coat, actually you're right, if it doesn't contradict something like gravity as would be the case with levitation, then you cannot discern precognition from psychokinesis. Thank's for the references, I'll check it out. In france, Phillipe guillemant made severale conferences about retrocausality and how it may explain psi. But I doubt it's subtitled.

[@markstipulkoski1389]

@@Untefelehrr Because I know precognition is real, I get annoyed with discussions that lump telekinesis, remote viewing, telepathy, and synchronicity under the umbrella of "Psy". Each should be addressed on their own.

[@Untefelehrr]

@@markstipulkoski1389 Well, esp and psychokinesis can be adressed as a global anomaly in that they share the characteristic of not being explainable by known physics. And, while psychokinesis may be undiscernable from esp at times, does not necesssarily imply that it wasn't because psychokinesis does supposedly encompass influencing systems at distance, and not only cause movement. However, what I find interesting in this opposition between esp and psychokinesis is that, precisely, if you look at the cumulated evidence that psi is real (Cardena, 2018), ESP has been more reliably and more strongly evidenced than psychokinesis has been. However, some experiments do suggest that psychokinesis is a phenomenon by itself such as influence on random number generators.

[@UtraVioletDreams]

8:54 But that is also true for entanglement. There is no fall off. Distance does not matter while it physical should not be possible. Our brains are made of particles that can be entangled.. I'm not saying ESP is true, I'm just pointing out the "what if".

I have precognition dreams. The first one I remember was around age 7-8. Sometimes they are very specific (like knowing someone is going to be injured, or that someone is pregnant). Other times they are more abstract, but either way they are my proof that ESP is real. I also experience telepathy often with my family. It's really cool, I wish I could harness it!

[@asturiasceltic3183]

That's common

[@kuribojim3916]

I think these phenomena are pretty common, and are not evidence of ESP. One of the things that’s fascinating is how the brain works to explain or justify occurrences post-hoc. Michael Shermer has written some interesting things on this point. I mean, I know it’s fun to believe in magic, but if precognition were true, I think the implications are far more profound than ESP-proponents realise. Also, I suspect that precognition isn’t possible because of the quantum nature of time and the likelihood of multiple universes.

[@elliottcovert3796]

@@kuribojim3916 Look, we've got to clarify something: dreams that appear to be pre-cognitive, if true, *are* evidence of ESP. Evidence is simply any fact that is more likely to less likely to make a conclusion correct. Note that there *can be evidence for conclusions that are not correct.* If pre-cognitive dreams are in fact real, they're evidence in favor of ESP. How much weight you or I give that evidence is subjective. Personally I don't believe that ESP is a real phenomenon because if it was, it just seems like someone would be able to demonstrate it in order to do at least one otherwise improbable thing, like lifting a small object without touching it or picking the correct Powerball numbers five times in a row. This would be sufficient evidence for me even if it wasn't done in a lab. Since I've never seen anything like that, I do not think ESP is real.

[@jamesruscheinski8602]

Could ESP be something from large scale of the universe?

[@VperVendetta1992]

The mistake is in starting from a physicalist/materialist model of reality and then trying to understand and fit ESP inside that model. We now know that space-time is doomed, it's not fundamental, and that there's a much deeper, information-based reality from which space-time emerges. This deeper reality doesn't have the same rules of space-time, and can allow for non-local phenomena like ESP, especially if, like Donald Hoffman, John Hagelin and others propose, its fundamental nature is Consciousness itself, or a deep network of conscious agents constantly interacting with each other in an abstract, non physical realm outside space time.

[@paddydiddles4415]

You’re starting from the assumption that ESP phenomena are transgressing known physics, so you must be accepting the face value, intuitive interpretation of ESP

[@VperVendetta1992]

@@paddydiddles4415 Yes I'm pretty sure it's transgressing known physics, and that's not an assumption, it's an inference based on the known properties of ESP. Just the fact that you can get information from the future means that you are going against the limits on speed of information movements between two points in space-time, so against general relativity. Even quantum physics doesn't allow for ftl information travel, because the information is obfuscated during a quantum teleportation until you use normal speed limited travel to get the remaining information needed to decypher the jumbled data.

[@davecros4887]

ESP isn't beyond the laws of physics. It is beyond our understanding of the laws of physics. There is simply more there than we currently have mapped out within science. I know ESP to be real. I've seen the future as if it were a memory of the past. An understanding of the future, as clear as a memory of the past and when it's that clear it always happens. I think a lot of people have it but they block it out because honestly, it can be overwhelming.

This is fascinating to explore. Beyond the five senses, I know experientially that we can access insights through meditation or introspection. Apart from the realm of knowledge through these methods, I have experienced paranormal phenomena. I have heard my name called clearly, but never was anyone there. This happened about 4 times in my youth, the last being in 1978 at Anderson AFB in Guam. I was 19. When I was about 6, I saw a shadow figure while in bed looking out at the open doorway. It frightened me. It started towards me as if it were zooming in, no gait. I couldn't yell. I hid under the covers. When I uncovered my head, it was gone. When I was around 47, when I returned to my condo in Florida, I smelled the scents of my maternal grandmother. On a regular basis, I will look at the time and it will be 22 past the hour, even waking in the middle of the night, and I will think of my father who passed away from physical form on 6.22.16. These experiences may be off topic, but they may point to a metaphysical dimension.

[@kuribojim3916]

I’m also curious to know why you think determinism is true. I would say that quantum mechanics show us that the future is not pre-determined, rather, it exists as a wide range (perhaps almost infinite) possibilities, which each have a different likeliness of happening. It’s for this reason that I think precognition isn’t possible.

When i so sad and wondering how my mom could or couldn’t survive cancer, i just know an information and i assume it is more with i “hear” the information about the future moment, i speak with my mom what i “heard” and after couple of months it happened : my mom still survived and see the most close person of her dead (which is my aunt that not have any disease, she is passed away because of high glucose level in her blood) after couple of months later i don’t hear anything then one day my mom doc said not so positive about my mom and i got sad feeling and suddenly i assume i “see” a calendar with exact month of my mom death. I also can feel bad energy, one is my cousin and other is a channeler and they say the exact same thing that my house is haunted by some bad spirit. The spirit came in front of me through the channeler body when i trying to call my mom and another passed away relatives spirits and i ask my cousin what the spirit looks like and it exactly same. Sorry for my english and i know ESP experience is very rare, but as a person that have exp through it ,i believe it and i believe it exist but not in our physical reality, it in another reality of existence

[@NaturalFuture]

Robert, you conclude that (1) ESP doesn't exist; or (2) it does exist, but the mechanism by which it works isn't a part of physics---meaning that its mechanism lay beyond the physical realm. Now, if ifs mechanism operates by means of a physical process, of what would it consist? For instance, precognition. You asked: "If time is symmetrical, how could information come from the future?" Have you ever considered the hypothetical "tachyon"? Tachyons are said to be units of EM travelling backwards in time. If such particles exist, could it be that a precog (aka "Minority Report") is an unknown function of the brain which detects tachyons and then interprets them (or sends the corresponding brainwaves to other areas of the brain responsible for sensory interpretation? Interesting, isn't it? If this is true, which brain function or area might be able to detect tachyons? Before we can answer that, we need to develop further an extension of the current physics which describes how EM function beyond the speed of light. (Those who would scoff at this must agree that should we want to really master warp space travel, we should know everything about how the known forces, force carriers, fields, and laws of physics operate beyond the light barrier, lest, upon activating a warp drive, we run into a fatal malfunction caused by a supraliminal effect we didn't know about and factor into the warp equation.) Once we've proved the existence of tachyons, we'd next look closely at what sorts of brainwaves would be most likely to interact or be affected by tachyons. Interesting, isn't it, Robert? I'm may not a recognized expert on any topic, but you might find me an interesting source for answers to the many intriguing questions you raise.

Best way to understand ESP is if everybody to do it himself. Make a pendulum, take a ring and attach it to a piece of string, place your hand on a desk so it won't get tired and let pendulum hang in the air. This is best experiment i can think of since it doesn't require any special skills or equipment, it's not magic, but it does show how sensitive our mind is and how very small twitches travel over neural paths to fingers holding pendulum, making very small mental forces visible. Two things are required for better understanding of phenomena, basic meditation and patience. By meditation i mean only simple exercise when we numb mind and make us aware of space inside, many people never tried it this days and don't have that most common human experience. Their pendulum will also move, but meditation establish mental connection with triggered motion, so mind can ignore surroundings and became more sensitive. It's all about intuition, since pendulum can move only in certain few ways, small tendencies in flow of thoughts result in visual change. This is how we train our body to convey spiritual and subconscious tendencies into awareness, it's just a feed back loop. Once medium get used to connection he doesn't need pendulum anymore, can sense those mind's twitches in his thoughts, this is where we must talk about phenomenology or jump straight to ESP since medium abilities often surpass normal chances and probabilities. Is it because medium is more hypersensitive to environment or brain just became trained in logic and empathy doesn't make much difference really, it's magical how ever we look at this.

[@xspotbox4400]

@fynes leigh Any experiment would to that can serve as bridge between conscious and subconscious awareness, mind act as a whole at all times anyway, we just don't realize it. A ring or any piece of weight attached to a string is simple, that's why it's a good model, but there are other versions, like searching for water with a wooden branch or sensing planet's magnetic north pole. This ancient practices demonstrate we can train our mind to receive more sensations from unconscious inner workings. It's a very simple proposition, people get used to sense of self over years, they know exactly how it feels like to swim or ride a bicycle, so every extra sensory addition might come a s shock. Sure those states can be induced also by drugs, but than it's hallucinations and health malfunctions, not pure and conscious ESP. Other natural ways to play with sensory perception are virtual computer game worlds, like it or not, machines force brain to do ESP without people being aware of phenomena. Mechanical systems are physics, but human immersion and phenomena like dislocation are completely individual and unpredictable. It's not just good, perception trough technology can also breed abomination, there's a lot of that lately in military, private corporations and fascist eugenic labs.

Well it seems to operate most when one is in a heightened emotional state. And emotions are observed in the body rather than the head. Could thoughts in the head be carried on emotional energy waves emanating from the solar plexus area?

[@shadesofstrange]

Let's use a real world example. Let's say I create two dots on a computer screen. I animate these two dots. I use some type of measuring device to look for communication between these dots on the screen. We would not find any communication on the screen. we would have to look into the processor to find how the interaction of the two dots are being communicated. Maybe, that is how the mind works. We can not measure any effects in matter or space, but through our consciousness which is where the interaction takes place.

[@shadesofstrange]

I hope I was clear on my analogy.

[@delq]

@@shadesofstrange Your analogy is good. And also the two dots already interact in a very basic way ie if their position is encoded in memory then their movement is processed in the processor and even if we dont program superficially any behaviour that the dots should perform while they are near or so, but still the physical voltages in the processor are still interacting in known physical laws such as electric fields so in short nothing is beyond and truly independent in this universe. Everything is connected !

I would imagine that everything that exists in this universe including life is multi-dimensional, there are aspects of us and particles in higher dimensions where time and space don’t exist or the natural laws differs. Look at entanglement and gravity, both with sources outside of reality but with effects in our universe. Particles are connected in higher dimensions, they might be separated here and the laws forbids communication faster than light, but where they’re connected in a higher dimension they’re not separated by distance or time and can exchange information. Mind and consciousness also have a higher dimensional presence. I understand that science don’t appreciate these ideas since as of now they can’t prove it, still what are you going to do if it’s the truth? I think we have to wait until gravity and entanglement and ‘something out of true nothing’ can’t be explained scientifically and science is forced to think outside the box and accept the possibility that there are forces outside our physical reality that have effects in reality and the universe. How would that appear? Like something out if nothing, phenomenons without explanations, entanglement that seems to break the laws, like a 3D finger sticking into flatland, inexplicable.

[@paddydiddles4415]

ESP phenomena are data points, often experiences, within memory and consciousness. One interpretation of the data could be to do with some supernatural power transcending the known laws of physics. But there could be many other interpretations which do not involve the domain of fundamental physics but instead the domain of human consciousness, psychology etc. it is very common to see people conflate ‘data’ with ‘evidential support’ and also not to appreciate the principle of ‘hypothesis’

[@jeffxanders3990]

Could it be that spooky is the connection between the macro and the micro magnelectricly. Biological coherence. That's an interesting thought... What is a magnelectric field? Exactly. Is that the point at which physics stopped asking questions? If ESP is real, how? I'm suggesting a thorough understanding of magnetism. See Ken Wheeler on magnetism. The magnelectric nature suggests life is a dream. The pajamas clinches it for me 😊 Maybe it's true that perception is how creation happens. The frequency between our ears receives is the awareness of actual consciousness. What science doesn't understand is simply the magnelectric nature of life because it doesn't understand magnetism. ESP is beyond space and time because gravity, space and time are emergent properties of magnetism.

[@ekszentrik]

There are facts that can't be measured or ever accessed in any way by physical procedure. Qualia being the most striking example. The experience of "red" is transcendental to any physical structure/decomposition. So we have established that there exists indeed information that is indescribable by physics. It is thinkable that there exist further such phenomenona (perhaps of the same ontological substance as qualia). Qualia et al. are hampered by being purely private phenomena, but non-private such effects are thinkable. I think things like telekinesis would require far more assumptions (good old dualist interaction problem), but telepathy wouldn't require new assumptions since we are dealing with the same substance on all interacting ends, or to put it in pop terms, "planes of existence". We just have to show that there exist non-private manifestations that are able to enter a causal exchange.

[@entropica]

Experiencing red could be firing of a certain neuron that has been trained on red objects (i.e. in a certain frequency range of light) in childhood. No one can imagine a color (frequency of light) not perceivable by our visual sense. As the range of frequencies of light we can see is relatively narrow and somewhat arbitrary, this is a strong hint that experience color is a learned feature inside the brain, e.g. in the form of specific neurons to fire, and not access to an outside world of qualia.

[@thomasjohnson6808]

Asking how a non-verified phenomenon could work is akin to asking how leprechauns find a pot o' gold.

[@xspotbox4400]

There is something connecting the dots, we all participate and exchange something with gravity field of a planet. Things are not blobs but infinitely small dots, atom's core is just a tinny spec in middle of a giant electric cloud. It doesn't end there, core is made from dot like quarks, but their cloud extend and interact with entire proton. And than there's that light thing, particles vibrate and excite electromagnetic field, waves hit other clouds, make them glow and change properties like momentum and force potential. When atom inside our brain get excited from self induced and sustained energy flow we call consciousness, they emit radiation in all directions from a sphere, just like every other particle. This is where we must ask what is a self aware thought than, how can mind distinguish clear illusion of inner sounds from surrounding electric noise. Because quantum mechanics, things get very precise and in order deep down, no matter complexity and amounts. So we have a lot of different phenomena at play here, most are chaos, but some are incredibly vivid and determined, like flow of our thoughts. Just saying, there's plenty of room for physical phenomena here, most strange fact is ESP is not more common considering what our life is and how easy we can control some other natural forces for every day communications. I would go for gravity, very fact we can feel and imagine the world outside point to a connection of those phenomena. We should trust our hypersensitivity, ability to sense things even if they doesn't exist. Here is why, let's imagine thoughts are closed system and have weight, this means conscious cloud could be affected by slightest changes of space time. Thoughts are not like charge inside computers, self awareness is very fine tuned field, maybe particles change not only speed but also relativistic properties when space time disturb our mental sphere. Apparatus can't, but thought can sense anything since it's made from space time geometry itself. Space time and mind are kinda same thing, there's more of that universal nothing inside us than something material our body is made of and our lives depend on. Sometimes we can't feel when our body got a slight scratch, our mind sense way more and react in an instant, many times even before physical cause.

[@xspotbox4400]

@fynes leigh Things get weird down there, everything is connected already, all we can do is disturb that balance and cause energy to flow in desired ways. Consciousness is not an object, can't feel forces from any direction, only disturbance in those fields. This is very weird, it imply some self organization of force carrying particles and that should not be possible in physics. Or maybe conscious self exist everywhere in neuronal electric field, our thought works like lens in that sense, forcing field to enhance where we want to locate sense of self at present moment. What are we talking here, atoms are very large compared to material nucleus at their center, force must be exchanged trough cells of brain mass somehow and keep all those small material dots in check at same time. But we are organic, atoms of oxygen and sugars must flow trough nervous system and replace atoms or we can't be alive.

[@xspotbox4400]

@fynes leigh Please pardon my Tarzan global English, i understand you just fine. Would love to hear more about advocacy, I live in a country where lawyers can't be distinguished from inquisition and i always wondered why. Reading your comment helped me a lot, i can see now what is their brain malfunction. Only enlightenment can help me, so i'll go read more Voltaire. By weird i meant mechanics of thoughts. Brain is a material system. Matter is composed of particles. Particles are near infinite small dots, in the middle of electron clouds. Never mind fields and interactions, just trying to focus on visible internall structure of biological computer. To be alive, we must constantly replenish material our body is composed of. Must also eat to burn chemical energy and that makes brain do internal dynamics we call thoughts and awareness Entire system doesn't have any steady, stable and precise source of power, cells are energized as we go. Atoms decay and get replaced, neurons work at variable charge. Yet we stay the same somehow, it's like computer components get replaced in the middle of work and computer doesn't ever crash, can't even notice it's a different computer as we grow older. Back to quantum world. All out mental abilities are energized at same time somehow. Where is consciousness, is it an overall electric field inside neural network or is it assembled from atomic nucleus dots? Fields exist everywhere at same time. Dots have precise location. Everything decay and is in constant flow. That's a weird combination.

[@xspotbox4400]

@fynes leigh Haha,... God love you Brits because you are not afraid to say what you think, you must be his favorite type of crazy. I doubt learning English would make me better writer, i would probably write books than and not waste time with comments, like Voltaire has to since it seems he couldn't argue with any authority of his time and not get him offended. Personally i respect three great man who changed everything, Voltaire for satire, Darwin for evolution and Freud for psychoanalysis. What do you mean by mice, perhaps you imagine particles can make choices there deep down. I wouldn't go that far, but certainly can't be just something inside something else. Nothingness we can experience inside is not the same as emptiness we can see out there.

Until 7 days later it absolutely came to pass in exactly as I had described it, and this changed my then husbands level of belief in the things I had seen and said.

Why is it that people misuse the concept of physical law, seemingly constantly? Physical laws are only valid within a specific framework, such as the second law of thermodynamics being only valid within a closed system. If you are examining a concept and you do not yet understand the mechanics or scope of its operation, then how in the world can you make the completely absurd claim that any law is being absolutely violated? First of all, many concepts treated as law in science are, at best, only theories to begin with, leaving plenty of wiggle room -- even if true. One thing I am sick to death of is hearing a scientist of any caliber offering an assertion as reality, then implying someone not holding agreement with their assertion must be addled. Sorry, these "scientists" do not represent science at that point, as their viewpoint is illogical according to the scientific rules concerning logic and reason, specifically they should not present a major logical fallacy as a base argument (appeal to probability) then back it with another (argument from ignorance) as if the combination somehow demonstrates intelligence. Logically, it is the basis for nothing at all considerable as reasoned. Simply put, either something exists (even if only under specific circumstances), or it doesn't exist at all. If it exists, it does not matter whether modern science can explain it or not. The ability of science to currently explain anything does not determine what is either supposedly normal or abnormal. Science does not create reality, it merely is a tool to explain reality. Another thing that gets real old, really quickly, is the "no evidence" argument, which concerning numerous subjects only becomes true if you employ one or more logical fallacies as your base reasoning, namely Cherry Picking what is considerable as evidence, or Raising the Goalposts to disallow evidence. Many agreeing scientific studies have been performed and replicated -- unless you ask a skeptic, or some scientist who has never personally examined the evidence. Want to have some fun? Get a transcript of a skeptic "shooting down a theory" and perform a sentence by sentence examination using a comprehensive list of logical fallacies. You will be shaking your head, if not disgusted, angry, and/or outright laughing when the task is complete. I view believers or disbelievers both as logically equal, in the sense that their reasoning skills tend to be heavily influenced by their particular level of bias concerning the concept at hand.

[@jmanj3917]

3:45 Ok; But, How do you know which reality (of an infinite possibility of choices) is the one which you are observing in that regard? Go Bluejays! Edit 6:50 ...OR,.is that maybe just a different way to describe Feynman's Path Integral?

I have the paranormal capacity to see the subconscious of people. I can see the body inside people's minds.

[@paulrite6202]

let's talk about microtubules

[@entropica]

@fynes leigh Well, one could google it, but in short: microtubules are straw-like structures in cells made of proteins than can quickly be grow or desintegrate at the ends. Microtubules give cells their shape like scaffoldings, serve as highways for motor proteins that can carry loads along the tubule, microtubules tear the two halves of a chromosome apart during cell division, in nerve cells they control the growth of the dendrites and the axon, etc. Prof. Roger Penrose speculates that consciousness interacts with the brain via microtubules in the nerve cells.

Is ESP something in subconscious?

[@ericellquist7007]

"Can't have your cake and eat it too..." Does that mean you can eat someone else's cake? The local supermarket has lots of cake that I would love to eat, but if I purchase the cake it then belongs to me and does me no good. However, if I go to a restaurant and ask for cake, I can eat it and pay for it afterwards. Technically, once I have eaten the cake it is mine. Certainly no one would want it afterwards. And paying for it afterwards definitely makes it mine so the law is inconstant. Does quantum physics have similar laws, or have they not emerged yet...?

If scientists were flexible enough to look beyond the constants they might find answers to the questions you ask. Unfortunately group think (big bang perhaps an example) tends to get people lined up on a set of self-limiting ideas.

I know it’s real cus it’s something i have had since i was like 2 a lot of things most people think are just “normal” are actually part of ESP

[@kuribojim3916]

Also, even if ESP somehow existed outside nature (“super” natural), then at some stage, it would still need to breach into the natural world in order to be received and interpreted by the brain. This is why explanations for miracles fall down too; even if god could act to suspend the laws of nature, the act of executing a miracle still fundamentally involves some interaction with the physical world. In other words, if miracles existed, they should be detectable by science, because they involve interactions - or breaches of - the physical world.

Saying how can ESP work is the same as asking how does quantum entanglement work. Not saying the two are the same, but I think we can all agree that they (including psychokinesis) are non-local forces. ESP/PK seem impossible under materialism, but it certainly makes sense under idealism/panpsychism where consciousness is fundamental. Also, saying that there is no evidence of ESP or PK is a big lie. Skeptic Ray Hyman, a critic of parapsychology, did his own skeptical meta-analysis of the Ganzfeld experiments during the Joint Comminique in collaboration with Charles Honorton. Hyman didn't agree with ESP, but he concluded that the data he analyzed himself were sound and warrant further investigation. But if you look at mainstream media, you will hear nothing but terms like pseudoscience, lack of replication, etc but if you look at the literature, even peer-reviewed like Physics Essays where PK quantum experiments are reported, none are mentioned by the media. It's rather frustrating that there's a bias going on with psi studies because they challenge the status quo, but we must accept it in order for us to advance as civilization and have a deeper understanding of the universe.

Space can be overwritten. Time has no existence of its own. Measurements require correct measuring tools.

It’s not beyond physics, ESP is beyond our incorrect understanding of physics.

[@ChefClary60]

Simple test; Have you ever randomly thought of someone you know and within hours or a day or so they call you or you see them? If you said yes, themes let’s say there’s a 1 in 50 chance. But when you ask 1,000 people this question, 990 will say yes. This makes it statically almost impossible that it’s a coincidence.

[@ventrust7507]

Laurence Krause example of using billionaires is so typical of rich dudes. Someone could paint a beautiful painting ahead of time for a nurse in gratitude of life-saving care and have it ready for her. The painting could be so unique of the event but would have to be based on premonition or extreme analytical skills of possible future events. The point is there are things more valuable than being a billionaire and if he gets that basic wrong his values are shallow and leads to shallow studies. People can use their skills, esp or otherwise for other than the stock market, etc.

As to the supposed orders of magnitude discrepancy - simply recall that the brain's neurons are, themselves, composed ultimately of subatomic particles.

[@fracta1organism]

is entanglement physical? that's obviously how esp would work, and it also explains why the mechanism for esp has not been detected, as we cannot as yet detect how wormholes operate in the fabric of space.
