1. The document discusses whether quantum mechanics could explain telepathy and the phenomenon of apparent mind-to-mind communication. While most scientists remain skeptical due to lack of evidence, some believe more research is needed rather than dismissal.
2. The author argues that quantum entanglement, where two objects remain connected through space and time without direct communication, provides a potential explanation for apparent psychic abilities. They believe that telepathy resembles quantum entanglement with correlated information transferred between points.
3. While current explanations of telepathy violate classical physics, the author asserts that as the scientific understanding of quantum mechanics evolves, phenomena like telepathy may be incorporated into a new worldview where some things are more interconnected through space and time than previously believed

Quantum Mechanics Could Explain Telepathy – Is Everything Connected?
By Dr.Mahboob Khan Phd
Do you believe in the power of telepathy? Many ordinary people accept telepathy
as true and some say they even had telepathic experiences themselves. However,
most scientists still remain skeptic and say there is no conclusive evidence
supporting such claims. Nonetheless, there are hard-core scientists who maintain it
is vital to conduct more research into the subject. To dismiss something because
we do not have an explanation for it, is not a good scientific approach.
“Not knowing how it works, though, is uncomfortable for many scientists. Looking
at the experiments and the data, it’s very clear something is going on,” I think
“There is doubt because we don’t have a good explanation for it yet, “I assert.I am
convinced that telepathy is real and suggests that quantum mechanics may
ultimately provide an explanation how mind to mind communication works.

“Can we sense what’s happening to loved ones thousands of miles away? Why are
we sometimes certain of a caller’s identity the instant the phone rings?Do intuitive
hunches contain information about future events? Is it possible to perceive without
the use of the ordinary senses?Many people believe that such “psychic
phenomena” are rare talents or divine gifts. Others don’t believe they exist at all.
But the latest scientific research shows that these phenomena are both real and
widespread, and are an unavoidable consequence of the interconnected, entangled
physical reality we live in.
Albert Einstein called entanglement “spooky action at a distance” — the way two
objects remain connected through time and space, without communicating in any
conventional way, long after their initial interaction has taken place. Could a
similar entanglement of minds explain our apparent psychic abilities? I believes it
might.They assume that this widespread belief is a sign of mass mental
deterioration because science has declared ESP to be impossible.
Why is it impossible?
Because psychic phenomena violate unspecified Laws of Science, and therefore all
claims about such events must be hopelessly flawed or fraudulent.”
I am not impressed by this argument because the history of science is replete with
confident proclamations about allsorts of impossible things, and most of those
proclamations have proven to be hilariously or poignantly wrong.
Unfortunately, the authorities’ declarations do not merely pro-vide historical
entertainment, they have also significantly impeded scientific progress as very few
scientists are willing to risk the wrath of the mainstream.
As a result, in the educated Western world we find ourselves in the bizarre state of
affairs where the mere study of certain common experiences is essentially
forbidden, ” I think quantum mechanics can solve the mystery of telepathy and he
is not the first scientists to suggest this.
The great psychologist Gardner Murphy, president of the American Psychological
Association and later of the American Society for Psychical Research, urged his
fellow psychologists to become better acquainted with modern physics.
Murphy wrote in 1968: “… the difficulty is at the level of physics, not at the level
of psychology. Psychologists may be a little bewildered when they encounter
modern physicists who take these phenomena in stride, in fact, take them much
more seriously than psychologists do, saying, as physicists, that they are no longer
bound by the types of Newtonian energy distribution, inverse square laws, etc.,
with which scientists used to regard themselves as tightly bound.… psychologists

probably will witness a period of slow, but definite, erosion of the blandly
exclusive attitude that has offered itself as the only appropriate scientific attitude in
this field.
The data from parapsychology will be almost certainly in harmony with general
psychological principles and will be assimilated rather easily within the systematic
framework of psychology as a science when once the imagined appropriateness of
Newtonian physics is put aside, and modern physics replaces it.”
“I have little doubt that the scientific worldview will eventually expand to
comfortably accommodate those experiences we now call psychic.
We’ll need a view of nature that pro-vides a solid theoretical basis for why some
things, some-times, are more interconnected through space and time than are
accounted for by classical models of the world. We’ll need a science in which the
most recalcitrant curmudgeons agree that such ‘nonlocal’ correlations are a well-
established ingredient of established physics. Of course, we already have such a
science. The central mystery in quantum mechanics is precisely why some things,
sometimes, are more connected through space and time than are accounted for by
classical, common sense concepts,”I assert.
Can quantum mechanics shed more light on telepathy?
“The deeper reality suggested by the existence of entanglement is so unlike the
world of everyday experience that until recently, many physicists believed it was
interesting only for abstract theoretical reasons.
They accepted that the microscopic world of elementary particles could become
curiously entangled, but those entangled states were assumed to be fleeting and
have no practical consequences for the world as we experience it. That view is
rapidly changing.Scientists are now finding that there are ways in which the effects
of microscopic entanglements “scale up” into our macroscopic world.
Entangled connections between carefully prepared atomic-sized objects can persist
over many miles. There are theoretical descriptions showing how tasks can be
accomplished by entangled groups without the members of the group
communicating with each other in any conventional way.
Some scientists suggest that the remarkable degree of coherence displayed in living
systems might depend in some fundamental way on quantum effects like
entanglement. Others suggest that conscious awareness is caused or related in
some important way to entangled particles in the brain. Some even propose that the
entire universe is a single, self-entangled object.
What if these speculations are correct? What would human experience be like in
such an interconnected universe?

How can we learn more about a deeper reality?
Would we occasionally have numinous feelings of connectedness with loved ones
at a distance? Would such experiences evoke a feeling of awe that there’s more to
reality than common sense implies?
Could “entangled minds” result in the experience of your hearing the telephone
ring and somehow knowing – instantly – who’s calling?If we did have such
experiences, could they be due to real information that somehow bypassed the
usual sensory channels, or are such reports mere delusions? Can psychic or “psi”
experiences be studied by science, or are they beyond the reach of rational
understanding?”I think that telepathy looks something like quantum entanglement:
When things are correlated at a distance without energy transferred between the
two points.“We don’t have an explanation, but you can almost see a road map for
how an explanation could come about,” I assert. “At least it’s no longer seen as
impossible.”So perhaps everything is connected and quantum mechanics does offer
evidence supporting telepathy…
