Any studies?

Answer 1

Answer 2

If it is maybe you can translate that next question?

Answer 3

no about ESP

yes to websites and studies

Answer 4

As imagined by most people ESP is not real. Although considerably less entertaining, there have been some serious studies that indicate something is going on. Both the Russian and American governments have done quite a bit of work on "Remote Viewing".

At this stage, the most promising research is in quantum holography. Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell provides some insights into this. Again, this is an early stage of research and there are few definite answers to be had.

Answer 5

Seek Jesus and you will not have need for special powers. You will be happy and content.

Answer 6

The evidence suggest that something (given the working label ESP) is taking place.

The Ganzfeld ESP tests have demonstrated a 33% hit rate where chance would predict 25% and even skeptic Ray Hyman conceded these results could not be explained by bad statistics or poor experimental controls. The article link is below.

Jessica Utts a professor of statistics at the University of California Davis also determined that remote viewing had been established at best as possible with the use of statistics (look for her article linked at the site below)

Also, the Parapsychological Association (link below) has links to current research and articles (published in peer reviewed science journals) on their members current research.

p.s. let the religious rite of skeptics thumbs down begin for providing people orginal sources and actual information.

Answer 7

Let me provide some orginal sources and actual information.

There have been studies, but at best they have been inconclusive, at worst outright failures. The ganzfeld studies are usually cited by ESP aficionados as being the best evidence, but like I said above, that's not saying much. See the links below for all you could ever want to know about the ganzfeld studies.

Some paranormal apologists might try to tell you that scientists have concluded that the ganzfeld experiments are credible evidence of ESP, but they are either ignorant or intentionally trying to deceive you. The jury was out for a while on the ganzfeld experiments, but psychologist Ray Hyman's last words on the ganzfeld experiments (dated 1996) are below:

"I concluded, and do so even more strongly now, that the autoganzfeld experiments constitute neither a successful replication of the original ganzfeld experiments nor a sufficient body of data to conclude that ESP has finally been demonstrated. This new set of experiments needs independent replication with tighter controls." (see skepdic link)

Also here Hyman confirms his doubts about the parapsychological studies such as the ganzfeld experiments:

"The most serious weakness of parapsychology is that there is a failure of replication by rivals in independent laboratories," Hyman said. "Every field has 'paradigm experiments' where you can get results. There are thousands of experiments in psychology that can be replicated, but in parapsychology there isn't one where you can get that. In no other field is there something similar." (see csicop link)

In short, there is no credible evidence for ESP being real.

Answer 8

No it's not.A lot of phonies and delusional people say it is though.

Answer 9

Yes it is.

there are many things that are real that skeptics say isnt.

they are still living in the world of disbelief. anything is possible.
