In summary, there have been multiple studies on remote viewing, but the scientific community is divided on its validity. Some believe it can be learned, while others think it is a natural ability. There is no widely accepted scientific theory on how it works, and there is no evidence to support practical applications or predicting future events.

No..We accept personal anecdotes or mainstream credible reports. We don't allow speculation. And this one has been done before.

1. Is there any scientific evidence to support the concept of remote viewing?

There have been numerous studies conducted on remote viewing, with some showing positive results and others showing no significant evidence. However, the scientific community remains divided on the validity of remote viewing as a phenomenon.

2. Can anyone learn how to remote view, or is it a skill that only a few possess?

Some proponents of remote viewing claim that it is a skill that can be taught and learned, while others believe it is a natural ability that only a select few possess. There is currently no scientific consensus on this matter.

3. How does remote viewing work, according to scientific theories?

There is no widely accepted scientific theory to explain how remote viewing works. Some theories suggest that it involves accessing information from the collective unconscious or tapping into quantum entanglement, while others propose more psychological or neurological explanations.

4. Are there any potential practical applications for remote viewing?

Some individuals and organizations have claimed to use remote viewing for various practical purposes such as finding missing persons or gathering intelligence. However, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims, and remote viewing is not recognized as a valid tool in mainstream science.

5. Can remote viewing be used to predict future events?

There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that remote viewing can be used to predict future events. While some individuals may claim to have successfully predicted future events through remote viewing, these claims have not been scientifically verified.
