Remote Viewing (RV) is a controversial extrasensory perception (ESP) technique that attempts to describe or give information about a specific target using only the power of the mind. Developed in the 1970s and 1980s by the US government, RV has been the subject of numerous scientific studies, with mixed results.
Despite the lack of scientific consensus, RV remains a popular practice among certain groups, including intelligence agencies and law enforcement. Proponents of RV claim that it can be used to gather intelligence, locate missing persons, and even predict future events. However, skeptics argue that RV is nothing more than a form of wishful thinking or self-deception.
