We will never be able to prove ESP until we understand the brain better. And even then, science has it's limitations. I mean, if this exists, it seems this is one of the last things we will prove with the scientific method. So... I know it's not the complaint pointed out by cmdrtaco, but I think it's worth saying that this type of research is worthy and provocative, even in a scientific realm. If ESP was 100% it would easily be proven by that one person who has that ability. Clearly it's not. It may be 51, and not statistically stable, and even harder to measure in a controlled/contrived experiment.
