extrasensory perception

Extrasensory perception (ESP) refers to the claimed ability to gain information beyond the five senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell—without any physical interaction. This includes phenomena such as telepathy (reading minds), clairvoyance (seeing distant objects or events), and precognition (predicting future events). While numerous studies have investigated ESP, scientific consensus generally regards it as unproven and lacking reliable evidence. Nonetheless, ESP continues to be a subject of interest in parapsychology and popular culture, often inspiring experiments and discussions about the potential limits of human perception.
