ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Extrasensory perception

Hey kiddo, do you know about our five senses? We can see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. But sometimes, some people believe that they can perceive things beyond our five senses. This is called extrasensory perception or ESP.

It's like having a special power where you can sense things that others can't. Some people believe that they can read other people's thoughts or see things that haven't happened yet. They call this telepathy or clairvoyance.

But some scientists say that there is no proof that ESP exists. They believe that our five senses are enough to detect everything in the world. They think that people who claim to have ESP might be just guessing or making things up.

So, while some people believe in ESP, others do not. It's up to you to decide if you think it's real or not. And always remember, what we can see, hear, touch, taste, and smell is enough to enjoy and understand the world around us.
