Telepathy?

[Kathie Bondar]

I'm in the seriously doubting it category, but technologically assisted telepathy seems like a remote possibility. PET scans that can determine which part of the brain are firing could even now be used to implement a simple form of telepathy. Guy A does something that activates area 1 of his brain. That information is transferred to Guy B. Guy B might be said to have received a message telepathically from Guy A and this might be expanded further. Show Guy A a picture of a naked woman, transmit information about which sections of Guy A's brain are active and Guy B might be able to deduce what Guy A is looking at.

I am also claiming that dreams are telepathy in the sleeping state.

I know all that. I also know that telepathy is different and that it must exist in some other level hitherto unknown to us, and that my brain can generate it and that your brain can understand it.

You "know" it? It "must" exist?

You are way ahead of me (pun unintended). Please enlighten me with the clinching evidence that leads you to this gnostic position.

Then all I can say is that the people telepathing to me all lead some pretty bizarre lives.

Claim away, it won't make it true.

I like John Wyndham's novels, too. But I don't consult him to keep abreast of the latest cosmological theories. He is way off the beam here - literally.

Hang on a minute. All I was saying was that John Wyndham had a “what if … ?” moment and elaborated it into a rather entertaining novel. Nothing more. If you want to elaborate it into some sort of assumption that I regard it as some kind of cosmological theory, be my guest.

You said that he rationalised thought being faster than light because it had no mass - like light.

Not his best literary insight, so not desperately entertaining.

What? Isn't enough evidence the following excerpts of Kathie's work?

Or don't you believe in talkative burning bushes and dictating archangels either?
