Clairvoyance and remote viewing refer to the proposed ability for one person to see something, occurring at that exact moment, through means other than the five senses. Their existence has not been scientifically proven.
Experimentation
In the early 1970s, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and later the U.S. Air Force, began funding experiments to test the existence of remote viewing. It lasted until the mid 1990s. At that point, the data was analyzed. Some test subjects had scored above simple chance, however, it was not by a great deal- 10 to 15%. Additionally, the methods of testing were called into question. Remote viewing, like other forms of extra-sensory perception, is generally considered as pseudoscience [1] due to the lack of replicable results, and of a positive theory that explains the outcomes of experiments.[2]
