Telepathy
- The Ability To Read Someone's Mind
Telepathy is the ability to transfer
thoughts or feelings from the mind of one individual to that of another (or
between groups of people), without using the ordinary five senses. If you were
telepathic, you would be able to read someone else's mind. Telepathy serves as
a means of communication when information is prevented from other methods of
travel due to physical obstacles, distance, or time.
Telepathy was formerly termed, "thought-transference,"
until Frederick W. H. Myers renamed it in 1882. Genuine telepathy differs from
acts of mentalism in that no trick or illusion is necessary to produce results.
However, skeptics are still doubtful of the existence of genuine telepathic abilities,
especially given that no experiment has produced continually verifiable results
time after time.
Various testing methods have been
implemented to check for telepathic abilities in individuals. Among them are
the Zener card test and the Ganzfeld experiment. Zener cards have special
symbols on them, and while one subject looks at a card, the other tries to
telepathically receive the symbol, which is unknown to them. The Ganzfeld
experiment requires someone receiving information to maintain total sensory
deprivation, while the other transmits from a separate location.
Two specific classes of telepathy focus on
the amount of time between the information's point of origin and its receipt by
a telepath. Latent telepathy, formerly "deferred telepathy," entails
a delay between the points at which information is sent and received.
Precognitive telepathy, on the other hand, covers cases in which the telepath
receives information from the sender's future mind. Essentially, a precognitive
telepath would know what you were going to think before you thought it.
One form of telepathy that is actively being "created" is cyber-telepathy, which has come to be called "techlepathy." Techlepathy is telepathy brought about through technological means, in which humans can connect to computers and to each other. Some people truly believe that humanity will someday be connected in just such a way.
Q:
1. What you think about telepathy?
2. Can we really read minds?
3. What are the benefits of reading one's
mind?

Taiwan
must rein in its rampant paparazzi culture
French director Luc Besson, who wrapped up
the shooting of “Lucy” in Taiwan
yesterday, thanked Taipei City Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌), local film professionals and
the people of Taiwan for giving assistance during the filming, saying the
technical crew and Taiwanese cast were extremely professional and competent.
“Taipei is very photogenic ... Taiwanese people are so kind, so warm. They're
always smiling,” he said, even cracking a joke about Thursday night's
magnitude-6.3 earthquake, which he deemed “smooth and nice.”
Taiwanese rock band Mayday is raising its
international profile ahead of an upcoming world tour. The band spoke to the
BBC about its hope to become The Beatles of the Chinese-speaking world.
Mayday’s “Noah's Ark” tour, which began
last year, has finally left Asia. The first stop outside the region was
England, home of The Beatles.
Yesterday in London, this 150-year old
Langham London Hotel hosted a press conference which was also broadcast live on
YouTube. Heavy network traffic gave foreign media some indication of the
popularity of a band that has been billed the “Asian Beatles.”
