Braydon and Belinda discuss the history of ESP, the weaponizing of psychics in the Cold War, and test themselves to find out if they have ESP what it takes to join Operation Stargate.
EPISODE NOTES:
ESP, or Extra Special Powers (really extrasensory perception) is the ability to sense things beyond the normal capabilities of a human's 5 senses. In this episode Belinda and Braydon put themselves through a number of interesting tests to see if they have ESP. They try to guess playing card numbers and colours, and then subject themselves to the Ganzfield experiment to see if they can dial themselves into their sixth sense and guess what the other is trying to tell them mentally.
