Telepathy?

Define "telepathy" first. Then I can answer. I mean, we have EEG's and MRI machines that can literally read minds without being inside them. Biological sensory organs could be similarly effective, I imagine, given enough time and a good reason for evolving such a thing.

I mean the real-time transmission of identifiable mental representations between specific people without technology, sight, sound, smell or tactile and proprioceptive perception, over substantial distances.

It sounds like you are intentionally defining it as "something that can't exist". To sense something we need something to sense it with. "Without proprioceptive perception" means "not sensing something". Seems sort of pointless to ask if it exists then.

Proprioception refers to the perception of position and movement of our body, mostly by evaluating data from skeletal muscles, deep tissue, joints and the inner ear. You can also sense imaginations and dreams that are entirely confined to phenomena generated in your neocortex.

I meant that you were eliminating all the possible ways of sensing things, and expecting us to offer some way to sense thoughts/feelings in others. It sounded like you were intentionally making an impossible task.

The questions is whether we need to explain a way of transmitting information that is not accounted for by currently plausible physics.
