Humans do NOT have any practical way to identifiy this phenomenon, they can only assume, thus we can only speculate
a theory, and others will speculate science to try and understand it... only problem is... science and assumptions are basically
the same.

Okay... the science behind this revolves around numbers and what they are taught to believe, so, they will undoubtedly
respond with an answer that befits their own understanding... which in the end results as disbelief.

As for myself... I don't really give a rats ass about the fundamentals in which it COULD be true or false, I believe that it is
possible... outside of humans own logical way of thinking [only 10% of the brain is used], or those that want to think outside
of the box.

End Note: it could be possible, only thing is, none of us can give evidence either way.


we absolutely have a practical way to identify telepathy, the studies have been done and the subjects have failed over and over again, you show one person a card and have the telepath (behind a wall) guess what it is. As was previously stated there is a million dollar prize for succeeding in doing just this (i beleive james randi offers 10 million now but i could be wrong),

no numbers were ever incited (that i know of) as evidence for telepathy

the "humans only use 10% of our brains" thing is a myth and is has been thoroughly debunked for over half a century, whether telepathy is possible is irrelevant, all we can say is it is not happening now in any reliable/testable way and therefore is not likely to be happening in the future.

end note: unicorns flying out of your rear are "possible", in science we deal with what is likely, as far as evidence either way, you need to google the burden of proof, it's not the job of the skeptic to prove it cannot happen its up to the person making the claim to demonstrate that it can happen, and up until this point that demonstration has not happened, therefore we can safely say there is no evidence for telepathy and move on until such evidence is presented

Pretty sure the scientific term is "shining"

mmm yah that's more ummm what's the word... intuition probably


This is different indeed, there is a lot of good research on mind-reading in psychology and neuroscience, it's really a fascinating subject matter.
