@jimswormhole: When you feel someone staring at you… is their mind actually reaching out of their head and touching you? Cambridge biologist Rupert Sheldrake says yes. He found that detectives being trained to follow someone are told not to stare at the person's back any more than they have to, or the person might turn around. In surveys in Europe and North America, 70% to 97% of people say they have felt a stare. In tens of thousands of trials of his simple test, about 55% of guesses were right, against 50% by chance. At a science museum in Amsterdam, more than 18,000 pairs took the test, and the best at it were boys under nine. His explanation: "our minds reach out to touch what we are looking at." TED pulled his talk. In 1898, the first scientific paper on the feeling called it "a superstition." Its author added: "No scientifically-minded psychologist believes in telepathy." Have you ever felt someone staring, turned around, and caught them? Follow @jimswormhole for more trips down the wormhole #rupertsheldrake #consciousness #telepathy #sixthsense #psychology
