Mental Telepathy - is
it Real?
by Alan
Tutt
What
is mental telepathy? Telepathy is defined as "communication through
means other than the senses." Add the "mental," and you have the
concept of minds sending and receiving information without the senses,
using something akin to radio waves, "thought waves," or whatever the
various theories claim.
Mental
Telepathy - A True Story
One
day, when we were children, my mother and father were in another city
an hour or two away, with relatives. They were playing bingo at a
church. Meanwhile, near home, my brother Andy was thrown to the ground
by a bully. His collar bone was broken. At about that same moment, my
mother stood up in the middle of the game, and announced to my father,
"Andy has been hurt!" They immediately left for home.
Was
this mental telepathy? It sure seemed like it at the time. Or is there
another explanation? More on that in a moment.
The
Evidence
Let's
review the evidence for mental telepathy. That should take about a
minute, because there is no good evidence for its existence. Now, if we
are to review what passes as evidence, we find a common pattern. Tests
that "prove" this phenomenon are done in some way that is very flawed.
The
"researchers" in ESP (extrasensory perception) and related areas have
less of an interest in the truth than in proving that these things are
real (my opinion). This affects how they perform their experiments,
often not because of dishonest intentions, but due to unconscious
factors. The most common mistake made in this type of research is that
of "selecting" results.
For
example, guessing what suit a playing card is, you would - by the odds
- be right about 25% of the time, because there are 4 suits to choose
from. Suppose you try this with 10 trials of 20 cards each, and then
repeat it with 30 other subjects, for a total of 300 trials. The
subjects will do better than the odds dictate in some trials, and worse
in others.
This
is normal. A coin flipped many times doesn't alternate systematically
between heads and tails, but flip it enough times, and it will average
about 50% heads and 50% tails. That is, it will if you tally all the
flips. Concentrate your mental powers on heads, and then don't count
100 of the flips that came up tails, and you have a test that "proves"
you can affect the coin using the power of your mind alone.
Would
scientists (or those that claim to be) do this? It happens all the
time, but it is usually more subtle. Consider the card experiments. If
the researcher already believes strongly in mental telepathy, he might
unconsciously find reason to exclude non-confirming trials (the subject
wasn't ready, the "sender" wasn't concentrating, etc.). Only count
trials with the results you want, and you make it look like the
subjects are indeed psychic.
An
Explanation Of Mental Telepathy
A
scenario: My mother knew that Andy was having trouble with this bully.
Earlier in the day she had been nearby when Andy mentioned that he was
worried, because he had to deliver newspapers near the house where this
bully lived. She wasn't listening, but the words registered in her
subconscious mind. Finally relaxing at the bingo game, her mind
processed the information, and she "sensed" that her son was in danger.
Mother's intuition we'll call it - but this wouldn't be mental
telepathy, right?
Is
that the explanation? No. It is one explanation. A more scientific
approach than the one used by true believers, is to leave questions
open. Hypothesize, perhaps, and test those hypothesis, but don't assume
an answer before there is good evidence. It better to leave things
unexplained than to invent things and believe in them just because we
want them to be true. We may never know what the explanation is for
much of what is called "mental telepathy," but do we need to know right
now?
