Recent events and displays of well researched data has indicated to me, that 'telepathy' or the ability to extend one's consciousness beyond one's cranium is a real measurable phenomena, that has its basis in natural selection...

Ever feel like someone or something is watching you? Prey animals who can sense being watched, OFTEN look in direction of their stalker. If you look at the back of someone's head, more often than not they will turn and look right at you. Animals and humans who could identify the direction of an incoming predator were and are more likely to escape.

Fish and birds 'might' be using a single conscious rather than local physical inputs to alter direction.

When we see...light bounces off an object, is received by our retinas, flip-turned-right side up, and a picture is formed. But is that picture in our heads, or is it projected outward, outside of us, and by simply observing it, can we alter or change it, without touching it...?

After a few youtube searches I found some rather astounding test results.

Anyone here want to run a test, employing skeptics as the subjects??
 
"telepathy"

Well, first we'll need to develop a test... I have some ideas, a concept or two, but I'd like input from the 'skeptic' community?

Is there a test that has been ran, with results you'd like to see replicated, or shall we develop a new, fun, more interactive something?

King ... think about this logical ... if telepathy existed, someone would have collected the million dollar prize by demonstrating it, sometime prior to 2015
 
If your case is as solid as your cases for Atlantis, the Atlantean origin of the menorah, and Ancient Astronauts visiting us during last week's eclipse, I'm not holding my breath.
 
So King . pick something... there's a host of Telepathy protocols in the "Million Dollar Challenge" section.

Or make up a protocol (that would eliminate the possibility of cheating) where you line up 20 people and stare at the back of one of their heads ... see who turns around.

OR BETTER? test yourself first .... surely you know 5 people that are willing to stand still with their backs towards you?

Even more than that... if telepathy were a predictable, repeatable method for achieving a useful result... it would be a multimillion-dollar industry and a significant feature of modern warfare (probably ancient warfare, too).

Kind of like the jet engine, or the radio, or the malaria pill. Humans are fantastic at taking things that exist and turning them into things that do useful work.

The fact that we don't complain about "big telepathy" the way we complain about "big pharma" or "big oil" should tell you everything you need to know about telepathy: Even if the effect exists, it's obviously useless. It ranks right up there with ghosts and astrology for actually getting things done.

King of the Americas, if you're so certain that telepathy is real, don't waste time "testing" it with us. Go out there and make some real money with it. That's what serious people do, with things that are real.

Any chance of linking to the 'well-researched data' and 'astounding test results'?

That contest isn't real. No disrespect intended. And I am not talking trash.

I am just saying if it were real, I'd have collected already.

I am going to write down, in a seal envelope an 8 digit number..."NOT RANDOMLY GENERATED"...

This is a series of numbers I will create/choose, I hope semi-randomly, but I am certain no one can truly do that.

Each digit will be 0-9, and may appear more than once.

Accuracy will be judged on how many numbers each participant gets to appear in the right place.

We can have multiple tests, one over a day, one, a week, one a year...?

Maybe fewer digits? What if we tried binary!? Just 1's & 0's?

So it seems you do not have 5 friends that will let you look and the back of thier heads?

OK get ONE friend ....

... go buy a set of "ESP CARDS" at your local card or magic shop (or on Amazon $8)

Sit with a friend and honestly test YOURSELF ... the instructions for a blind test should be in with the cards.

Basically for your test it'd be, YOU look at the cards and "telepathy" the shape to your friend ... see how many you both match out of a 25 card deck.

Let us know how it goes.

This is where I would usually insert a criminal justice study, that showed when officers show up, and watch people, there is less crime...but that would be obvious.

I could cite a criminal justice text book, wherein investigators are taught not to stare at the suspects back, least they be "made."

If memory serves me, there is a line in the UK special forces' manual that talks about silent hand-to-hand takedowns, and how you shouldn't focus on the back of their head because they will likely sense it.

But...I'm busy.

This seems untrue.

But, entertaining it, anticipating an attack from behind wouldn't be down to telepathy, obviously.
