ESP-Extrasensatory Perception

In the physical world there are 5 senses, but some people claim to have a "sixth sense." ESP, or Extrasensory Perception is using the mind in a supernatural way, such as precognition, or telekinesis. This post will focus on the former. Some people claim to be psychic or to predict events before they happen. Unfortunately, there is little scientific evidence to back up ESP. Science must have a testable experiment. ESP is not testable since it can't reproduce the same results. Also, if ESP is real, it goes against what we know about science. What we know from science is that people feel things through tangible evidence. Of course, new evidence can overturn old evidence leading scientific theories to be modified or even disregarded, but there is simply no evidence to prove the existence of ESP. People who claim to be psychic have little accuracy. Check out this website for more info:
