Abstract
‘psi’ is comprised of ESP events (Telepathy, Clairvoyance and Precognition) and Psychokinesis. The ‘psi’ events are happening all over the world in a sporadic, spontaneous and sudden manner. Since these are sudden and spontaneous, they cannot be replicated at will. Scientists have tried to take ‘psi’ in laboratories with the hope of replicating it in laboratories. While the ‘psi’ experiments were found statistically significant, i.e., the phenomenon was not manifesting just by chance, but assignable causes were making them manifest, but the details of the assignable causes were not known. Attempts to replicate the experimental results have not been successful so far. Parapsychology is a field studies ‘psi’ and also life after death. Parapsychology is still a pseudoscience, and one of the reasons for this is that the ‘psi’ cannot be replicated at will. This paper examines the reasons for failure in ‘psi’ replications and explores the way forward for research to make the replication possible.
