Scientists have discovered that the mysterious phenomenon of transmitting thoughts at a distance has even SMS analogs and e-mail versions
This has probably happened to everyone. You reach for the telephone receiver. And suddenly - a call! Who's there? And “on the wire” is the person you were just going to call. Or, conversely, having contacted someone, you hear: “Hello! Wow … I just thought of you."
It also happens, it would seem, absolutely incredible: you recruit someone - it is busy. Once again - busy again. And finally, having phoned, you will find out: you dialed each other's phone at the same time.
I’ll say more: from time to time - in moments of lull in the office - I have the sinful thought of going away somewhere during working hours. For example, go to the gym. However, every time I got up from my chair with a firm intention to carry out my plans, the phone rang. And the voice of the chief began to load with absolutely urgent matters.
What is it? Accidental coincidences, according to the representatives of traditional science? Or is there evidence for enthusiasts who believe telepathy exists? And thoughts somehow mysteriously still get from one head to another? British scientists claim that they figured out who is right here. The other day in London at the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, they reported on the results of their research.
No coincidence
Rupert Sheldrake, a famous British biologist, author of the sensational books "Dogs Who Know That Their Owner Is Coming Soon" and "The Blind Feel That They Are Being Looked at", has no doubt that something is wrong, but the so-called telephone telepathy definitely exists. Like, the evidence is experiments conducted with colleagues at Trinity College, Cambridge.
Scientists selected 63 volunteers. Each gave the names and phone numbers of four of their acquaintances or relatives. They were contacted - with everyone. But one in four was asked to call a volunteer at a specific time. Well, for example, from 10.00 to 10.05 in the morning. And from 9.55 - to nurture the idea of an upcoming call. During this agreed period, the volunteer sat at the phone and thought too - until the bell rang. He had to determine who was there - on the "other end of the line" or "cell phone radio waves" - before picking up the receiver.
“If the participants in the study were just guessing the caller, the probability of an accurate“hit”would be 1 in 4, which is 25 percent,” says Rupert. - The subjects exceeded this indicator almost twice. There were 45 percent correct answers.

- According to Rupert, the preliminary conspiracy of the volunteers and their "four chosen" was ruled out - all participants were under video surveillance. A total of 571 attempts to identify the caller were made. This is enough for conclusions. And they are: random coincidences have nothing to do with it. Telephone telepathy exists. And its effectiveness does not depend on the distance. Some of the subscribers involved in the experiment felt thoughts of themselves, being thousands of kilometers from their sources.
Likewise, Sheldrake experimented with SMS and e-mails. The percentage of accurate hits was just as high. Although in a study of e-mail telepathy, volunteers were asked to choose one recipient out of five.
PRACTICAL ADVICE
Learn to throw thoughts right on target
Russian researcher and telepathy enthusiast Vadim BARALYUK assures: you can learn to send thoughts so that they are accepted
Turn on the transmitter
Human thoughts enter the airwaves, confused and confused. People around are not able to isolate anything from this mess. Therefore, the first step is to learn to concentrate on something specific. And try to "twist" one thought.
Set up the receiver
The best way to tune a particular person to receive your thoughts is to think something good of them. Next, you need to scroll through some simple story in your head, in which the "receiver" would participate. For example, if it's nighttime, imagine that your subject is taking a shower. Or watching TV.
Determine the azimuth
According to Baralyuk, thoughts, unlike electromagnetic waves, do not spread in all directions. And they go in narrow beams. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the direction of broadcasting. You can use the map. For example, you are in Moscow. He or she is in Khabarovsk. Turn in that direction and send. One time, two, three … Until it comes. And if it comes …
Baralyuk checked: a person perceives a thought received from the outside as his own. Therefore, she does not seem strange to him.
Try it and write me what happened.
EXPERIMENT "KP"
Sheldrake's research can easily be repeated by anyone. Which we did at our editorial office, although not on the same scale as the Englishman's. And with slightly different conditions.
Experiment participants: I myself am a volunteer on the phone. In the role of acquaintances: my wife Natasha, who works on the floor above, is a well-known "telepath". It happened many times - as soon as I picked up the phone to call her, she came to my office. And when I came home with a cake, I often heard: “Oh! And I was just thinking what to eat so sweet …"
Two more: his wife's colleagues - Tanya and Ira.
Conditions: These women must call me in turn, every 5 minutes, starting at 15.30. But in the order that they themselves choose - I do not know it.
Purpose: to receive telepathic signals from another floor and identify the callers. At 17.00 I have already summed up the results of three attempts.
RESULTS
| Real call order | My identification | Percent |
| Tanya - Ira - Natasha | Tanya - Natasha - Ira | 33.3 |
| Natasha - Tanya - Ira | Natasha - Tanya - Ira | one hundred |
| Ira - Tanya - Natasha | Tanya - Ira - Natasha | 33.3 |
Total: in two attempts the result did not go beyond random coincidence. Only in one - the hit is accurate.
According to Sheldrake's method, the total score of 55.5 percent (166.6: 3) is far superior to the random rate of 33.3 percent. And it seems to allow us to conclude that telephone telepathy exists. However, my doubts take over. And personally, I would suggest the following: if telepathic contacts are indeed real, then they occur, as a rule, between very close people. After all, look: I accurately figured out my wife in two out of three attempts. This is already 66.6 percent of the hit.
