extrasensory perception (ESP)

Extrasensory perception (ESP) refers to the claimed ability to acquire information through means beyond the known senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. It includes phenomena such as telepathy (reading minds), clairvoyance (detecting distant events), and precognition (predicting future events). While many find these concepts intriguing, scientific evidence supporting ESP remains inconclusive and controversial. Critics argue that ESP lacks empirical validation and often relies on anecdotal reports. Nonetheless, ESP continues to be a subject of research and fascination within psychology and parapsychology, exploring the possibility that human perception might extend beyond ordinary sensory channels.
