@fatkat. Be not deceived, remote viewing is not a wild goose chase. There's been serious research going on quietly to see the possibility of this. To make it an open thing by any government is to kill the idea from birth. Moreover, it is a strategic advantage for any nation who can be the first to have the break through.
Watch out in a few year's time.
will be interesting as we understand physics more. I imagine remote viewing if reliable enough and assuming possible could have significant military and other applications.
