I think the response - "telepathy response" is pointing in right direction. However the idea that it may not be for masses is not really true, heart bypass sugery is available to most of the people even in developing (very fast) countries like India (compared to other parts of world it is quite cheap; google - health tourism in india or open heart surgery in india). Mobile too was a costly affair once but today even street vendors carry it, so i think once (if ever) telepathy is out there as technique people can learn, practice and technology may come to aid of it.

As to weather it is in right direction, research by its nature is revealing the hidden. 95% of people believe that they fall in top 5% of intelligent people in the earth, and they simply cry foul over anything that does not appeal to them. Add to that the concept of "science" imbibed into out minds right from childhood that says that anything that cannot be experimented and proved in a laboratory is non-scientific hence stupidity. The community is yet to realize that there are things that exist but just not proved in a laboratory or that a reasonable explanation has not been found for them. I believe the concepts of telepathy, life after existence and the quintessential GOD, just fall in same realm.

As the world progress we will have to get out of our conventional beliefs and start accepting a few things in a more scientific manner. If we are to truly make intergalactic travel then we cannot make them within the constraints of our current scientific ideas. How will you communicate to your friend in another galaxy at a distance of 10 light year, using current techologies implies that it will be after 10 years of your speaking that he will hear the "hello" from you (btw the Andromeda Galaxy located at a distance of 2 million light years away is the nearest major galaxy ), once one starts thinking in that direction the limitations of so called scientific methods will start showing their weakness and one needs to adopt "out of box" thinking, it may appear ridiculous at first but then that is the need; given the history of mankind, we have always made radical discoveries with ideas that had been tagged "ridiculous" at first.

I come from India and as such I am quite used to hearing a lot of these kind of things, but at same time I am a qualified computer engineer and someone who has a lot of interest in physics and science in general. I see the world turning East as the development is coming. In early 1960's and 1970's the world used to laugh at idea of Neem and Haldi as home medicines, today US companies are fighting over patents for the same thing. Yoga and Meditation were ridiculed, today again Us health companies are fighting to get patents over them. Similarly idea of acupuncture and ayurveda are gaining strong hold. Its not they are anything mysterious or odd, its only that the science as defined by western world has been late to reach out and understand them. Although this may seem Indian bias but let me tell you that there are more people in India who ridicule and laugh at idea of telepathy or meditation then in west. Most of people in East accept the west doctrine blindly even if it is half truth.

Having said that these kind of research activities are important because they may be the only way that may just bring that turning point in the history of mankind that change the world forever, just like the internet has done.
