If whales are telepathic, are humans ?

Whales possess a form of communication that allows them to signal other whales hundreds of miles away. Some experts say it is indeed a form of telepathy. Does human telepathy exist? Is there scientific evidence for this particular form of extra-sensory perception (ESP)?Certainly if human telepathy existed we could explain many weird human experiences.

I DO know that my wife and I have reached some type of non verbal communication over the years. It usually happens once or twice a day. There are times when I think about something that I want for dinner or some particular place to dine out and she will then suggest it to me. If I think about going to visit the Grandchildren, she will also mention it. These are just examples of a lot of different occurances. It could just be a bizarre set of coincidences but it happens too often to be just chance.

linked-imageWhales possess a form of communication that allows them to signal other whales hundreds of miles away. Some experts say it is indeed a form of telepathy. Does human telepathy exist? Is there scientific evidence for this particular form of extra-sensory perception (ESP)?Certainly if human telepathy existed we could explain many weird human experiences. Telepathy would account for, according to a recent newspaper account, a mother "saw" her daughter miles away roll her car over in a traffic accident and "saw" her daughter injured and trapped within the wreckage. It would explain the Australian woman who "felt" her mother die suddenly at the precise moment she passed away half way around the world in London. Telepathy would explain many strange little happenings such as these, or even something that is very common: we hear the telephone ring and we know who's ringing before we pick up the phone.The fact remains that there is no scientific proof that human telepathy exists.Telepathy means direct communication from one mind to another. It refers to the supposed ability to perceive the thoughts of others without the use of recognised senses. The term was first used in 1882 by psychologist, F W Myers.If telepathy existed, it would dramatically violate several established laws of physics. For instance, with telepathy, it doesn't seem to matter how far apart two people are or how many other people there are in between them when the "communication" takes place. The messages seem to be able to span great distances, slide around corners, penetrate walls, and travel under water. The process does not seem to be strictly bound by time either.Those who have attempted to account for so-called telepathic experiences usually cite one of two explanations.The first is the Radio Wave Theory. According to this idea, telepathy works like radio waves. People often speak of "vibes" as though there were telepathic "brain-waves" going from one person to another. The problem with this theory is that if there were some kind of wave, we ought to be able to detect it coming from people's brains. But we cannot. The brain's electrical activity can be detected at best only a few centimeters away from the skull.

There would also need to be a "vibes" transmitter in one brain and a "vibes" receiver in the other brain. No sign of either has ever been detected in any human brain. Also, the strength of the "signal" ought to decay with distance. But it seems it does not.The second is the Timeless/Spaceless Psychic Field theory. According to this idea, there is some unknown "psychic field" in which the impressions of every thought are stored for all time. Telepathy involves somehow picking-up these vibes from this psychic field.However, no evidence for any such psychic field has ever been discovered. Furthermore, if it did, we would be inundated with the trillions of thoughts left behind by every human who ever existed - everyone from Alexander the Great to Hitler's tailor.It is inconceivable to imagine how one brain could pick up only those messages it needed and ignore all the rest. And if it could select which messages to read, what would be the basis for the selection? What brain mechanism would be employed for this, etc.?Scientists have attempted to obtain evidence for telepathy. A pioneer in this effort was Joseph Banks Rhine of Duke University. In 1927, Rhine began conducting what are still considered the most famous experiments in this area. Rhine tested hundreds of people using cards specially designed by his colleague, Karl Zener.

a way telepathy may possibly be explained without violating physical laws is by "quantum Entanglement"

read here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

i also found a book (i havent read it yet) but just may shed some light on telepathic abilities

called "The God Effect"" (note: it is NOT a religious book)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/031234341...244862?n=283155

let you know how it goes when i read the book

Whales communicate using sound. Just on a different frequency than we can hear. It is not telepathy.

for hundreds of miles?

Yes, low frequency sounds travel extremely far. We can not hear these frequencies however.

Funny how its all sound frequencies but scientists think its just Telepathic Messaging. Humans can't do everything, maybe there is such thing called Telepethy but we can not find it. Or as MattShark said, it must be low frequencies traveling hundreds of miles. Things arent always as we hear or see them, strange world, strange stuff. Who knows, maybe its neither...

I'd be extremely suprised to find a paper by a proper scientist talking about telepathic messaging in whales....

One of my telepathy experiences happened in 1998. A friend Marion told me telepathically of an event in her life. I shared that with a mutual friend Paul. Paul met Marion at the supermarket. Paul asked Marion if the event was accurate. She said it was. Paul asked her how I knew. She replied we talk telepathically. Paul asked me later if we talk this way. I told him we did. I think our friend Paul is the only person I know who believed we were both telling the truth.

I do not understand why its so hard to accept this concept at face value. Almost every one I know has some experience that can be explained as some form of telepathy. I think some day many of us will expand our thinking enough to have our own personal experience with it. That is the proof we would need. As long as most people think it does not apply to humans, it will be hard to prove. Spirit does honor our beliefs and the mind works overtime to support our belief systems, therefore the proof that many are looking for will not be found.

I was going to say this... elephants can also communicate over long distances using low-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear... this could possible be considered "ESP" but it is not telepathy.

I think giraffes do it as well actually, and parts of lion roars are also outside of frequencies humans can hear, so it is really not that uncommon.

Do whales wonder if they could be human?? Oh if someone could telepathically speak to a whale. hmmmm

i concur, i could have been made a whale...and maybe they do think about being human.....my telepathic friend tried to "connect" with a whale on a whale watching trip...it reminded me of Spock in a Star Trek movie except the captain of the boat wouldn't let her jump in the water...lol

I bet any whale down in the antarctic being chased by the whalers would be thrilled to exchange places with you right now....

But yeah, it would be interesting to experience a completely different way of seeing the world, I've always wondered what it would be like to be able to use echolocation or see heat like snakes do.

there is an interesting article on some species of whales and dolphins possessing brain cells that 'make us human' (link ), they are definately 'smart', although we face a problem when we talk about intelligence because what we think of as intelligent is basically measured by our standards, some things we will see as intelligent are of no use whatsoever in other animal species and should therefore not be included in measuring other species intelligence. however even to our definition of intelligence, cetaceans are definately intelligent, bottlenose dolphins call each other by 'name' and use tools, orcas speak dialects and have been recognised as one of the only species to posses 'culture'. however i' not sure they float around going 'I wonder what it would be like to be human...' they are more likely to be swimming around going 'mmmmmm fish. i like fish.' ;)
