A large part of the scientists accepts the possibility that telepathy exists. From two different studies showed that respectively 56 and 67 percent believe in ESP.
Such polls suggest that most scientists are interested in psi. It is found in practice to be different. More than 34 percent of psychologists believes that ESP is impossible, at three percent of the participants in the studies.
The most prominent skeptics seem to be psychologists. Exception is a biologist Richard Dawkins who said that the existence of telepathy "the laws of nature would turn inside out '.
Fundamenteel incorrect
The most common argument against parapsychology is that the phenomenon is contrary to the modern scientific worldview. That does not necessarily mean that parapsychology does not exist, but if that parapsychology is really sit well in physics, biology and neuroscience be more wrong, as neuropsychologist Donald Hebb stressed.
Critics, however, can not explain the physics and physiology exactly say that ESP is not a fait accompli. A skeptic supports his or her claim usually with specific examples. In the rare cases where that happens often the principles of classical physics above, but they were almost a century ago to be fundamentally incorrect.
Quantum Mechanics
Prominent physicists such as Henry Margenau, David Bohm, Brian Josephson and Olivier Costa de Beauregard have repeatedly pointed out that nothing in quantum mechanics parapsychological phenomena prohibits.
Many skeptical psychologists say that the existence of psi does not match 'our scientific world view', but what scientific worldview is that? Psi is certainly incompatible with an old scientific paradigm based on Newtonian mechanics and the behaviorist psychology. However psi fits well within the scientific worldview based on quantum mechanics, neuroscience and cognitive psychology.
Criticized
In the time of classical mechanics investigated many physicists parapsychological phenomena, including William Crookes, discoverer of the element thallium and designer of the gas discharge, JJ Thomson, in 1906 winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics and discoverer of the electron, and Lord Rayleigh, one of the greatest physicists in the late 19th century and winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1904.
Their efforts to these and other unusual phenomena studies were often criticized and ridiculed by peers.
Para Psychological data are in harmony with the general psychological principles and fit relatively easily into the systematic framework of psychology as a science when the Newtonian laws are pushed aside and replaced by modern physics.
