Everything about Clairvoyance totally explained
Clairvoyance (from 17th century
French with
clair meaning "clear" and
voyance meaning "seeing") is the purported ability to gain information about an object, location or physical event through means other than the known human
senses, a form of
extra-sensory perception. A person said to have the ability of clairvoyance is referred to as a
clairvoyant ("one who sees clear").
Claims for the existence of
paranormal psychic abilities such as clairvoyance are highly controversial.
Parapsychology explores this possibility, but no evidence for such paranormal phenomena is accepted by the
scientific community.
Usage
Within
parapsychology, clairvoyance is used exclusively to refer to the transfer of information that's both contemporary to, and hidden from, the clairvoyant. It is differentiated from
telepathy in that the information is said to be gained directly from an external physical source, rather than being transferred from the mind of one individual to another.
Outside of parapsychology, clairvoyance is often used to refer to other forms of
Anomalous cognition, most commonly the perception of events that have occurred in the past, or which will occur in the future (known as
retrocognition and
precognition respectively), There is also a measured level of belief from amongst the general public, with the portion of the US population who believe in clairvoyance varying between 1/4 and 1/3 over the 15 year period from 1990 to 2005. (Of course, belief of the general public in the existence of a phenomenon doesn't mean that it exists in nature.)
