Does science think that ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) is real?
No one person can speak for “science.” So I only speak for myself. I have seen no controlled studies which have shown definite proof of its existence. However, I cannot discount the possibility that the very act of trying to measure these phenomena (psychic phenomena) may interfere with their operation in some way. So I guess I’d have to say that I don’t believe in it, but I don’t disbelieve in it either. Just as there is no hard evidence to prove such things as ESP, there is no hard evidence to disprove it either. But if you adopt the traditional “minimalist modedl” of scientific thought, you typically do not accept the possibility of things which are not proven or demonstrated to be real. Hope this answered your question! (PS: I’m a HR MBA; with a science background not a psychologist or neurobiologist so I am grossly under qualified to answer this question…. But I did anyway)!!!.
