Telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, even water-divining have one thing in common-researchers call it the Psi factor. And there is no place for it in the conventional view of the natural world. But that view is challenged every day by new discoveries in physics. It may be that before long an even more radical challenge will come from research into Psi phenomena.
In tonight's programme Linda Blandford and Gordon Snell report on the evidence for precognition, the work of The Premonitions Bureau and on The Prediction Business.
