Telepathy?

Maybe the immense size of the universe and its light-speed barrier makes instantaneous telepathic communication between humans and aliens the only viable option?
 
Just to be clear, your idea is that because all evidence shows that the universe has rules that prohibit faster than light travel, our only recourse for communication with distant listeners is to violate those laws with magic?

How would telepathic communication occur faster than the speed of light?
 
Maybe thought waves are instantaneous, travelling across the universe faster than the blink of an eye.
Perhaps aliens can do it, but we haven't yet learnt how.

And perhaps there's an invisible pink unicorn hiding out in my garage.

No. This is fantasy. You're postulating ideas that go completely against what science knows, and likely without any evidence whatsoever.

Utter nonsense.

Is telepathy magic or simply an undeveloped ability that we all have?

neither. It is a fictional mode of communication which does not exist in the real world. And just a friendly as you might actually be interested in these questions you are bringing up. You might want to just look around in here for a while. Examine other's posts in the topic areas you are interested in and consider how different ones are taken by the membership. You are not, at this point making a good impression. This does not bode well for your future here. Hopefully that can and will improve.*:)






*This is not a great place to pop out with any random thought that comes into your head. Thinking is a skill that must be practiced.

This is good advice. Johnny Brant, I suggest you take it.

You are not going to like this, but: we do not like to say that science knows things. Scientists tend to, but.... AND science does not say "x does not exist", it says "no evidence of any kind for the existence of X has been found to exist". To non-scientists, these apparently seem to mean the same thing. They do not and scientists know the difference. With no offence, you need to learn that difference.

And if you want speculation, read some science fiction. People much smarter than some of us here have worked out all sorts of interesting scenarios.
 
This is a discussion forum, so if you don't want to discuss anything, what on earth are you doing here?
If everybody was shy of discussion there wouldn't be a JREF forum..:)

(PS how do i get an avatar, i want to display my famous "hooded monk" avatar that's renowned throughout internetland)
