Do you believe people have sixth sense ? There are many interesting stories under this topic on
Zhihu.
Some people believe in the sixth sense, for example:
women use the sixth sense to catch cheating, more accurate than Sherlock Holmes ;
Someone had some dreams, and then the dream really happened in reality; Just before he started to speak, he knew what he was going to say;
just entered a place, and he could feel that he was the object of everyone's talk;
Some people expressed envy, why didn't he have such a stunt?
netizen @happy girl:
My sixth sense is inaccurate. Once I was chatting with a person in the group, and my intuition told me that he was a male drop, and finally realized that he was a female drop...
Some netizens don't believe in the sixth sense at all, "What kind of sixth sense, isn't it just suspicious"!
Netizen @Cinderella riding a white horse:
"Nine out of ten women guessed randomly, eight of them were wrong, and one of them was right. This one is called the sixth sense." There have been two distinct factions about the existence of a sixth sense. Some people believe in the existence of this ability, and some people think it is nonsense.
Aristotle first proposed five human senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. But since ancient times, the "sixth sense" has often been mentioned in people's daily conversations, in literary works, and even in some serious natural science books. Among the sixth senses mentioned by
, the most common ones are "precognition" and "telepathy".
- "Titan Hits an Iceberg" The Mystery of Prophecy
There is a famous example of "precognition".
In 1898, British writer Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called "Futility", in which he wrote a luxury ship called " Titan ", which sailed from England to America for the first time. An unprecedentedly huge passenger ship in the history of human navigation, the ship is extremely luxurious and full of people from the upper class.
But the giant ship hit an iceberg on its first voyage, and many people died at sea.
Robertson once said that when writing this novel, he was often in a trance state, as if the events in the novel were real. No one expected that the story in the novel would become an unfortunate reality after 14 years. After the tragedy of
, some people think of this novel, except that the name of the passenger ship is the same as Titan, there are many similarities, such as: sailing time is in April, from the United Kingdom to the United States; the reasons for the heavy casualties of passengers are all The lifeboat is not enough; the number of passengers, the number of lifeboats, the length, etc. are almost 95% the same...
The similarity of all details is a coincidence? Or prophecy? Make the event even more bizarre!
and many more.
For example, the 9.11 incident of the Pentagon, which shocked the world, was mentioned in advance in the article "War between the United States and Japan". There is also the assassination of the US President Lincoln, which has become well known to all, but it is intriguing that Lincoln had a premonition of his death three days before the assassination and told the people close to him.
- The "telepathy" of the twins
"Telepathy" stories also abound.
In 2009, a piece of news was wildly reprinted by the media. Two American couples who never knew each other adopted two baby girls, both a few months old, in a Chinese orphanage. Decades later, the two families met through the Internet. Through DNA, they discovered that the two adopted daughters turned out to be twin sisters.
Although the two have been separated since childhood, the two sisters are very similar in every way. They both thought they had a sister in the world.
In everyday life, identical test scores for twins are often seen as conclusive evidence of "telepathy".
In the Shanghai college entrance examination in 2004, the twin sisters Chen Xiuwen and Chen Xiuming also scored 479 points for "twins". Even more amazing is that their single subject scores are also very close.
Also, modern science has proved that the unborn fetus has been able to telepathically communicate with the mother, and the fetus can feel the mother's joys and sorrows.
To this day, we still have no convincing "scientific theory" to explain the phenomenon of "telepathy", but it cannot be denied.

The sixth sense is a "subconscious" floater But the concept is vague, and science has yet to name it.
The United States once conducted a survey, 90% of which are university psychology professors, to investigate their views on "extrasensory power". At that time, 17% of the people thought "100% believe" and "believe some".
In the late 1970s, psychologists from the State University of New York in the United States surveyed 2,400 professors in major universities. The results show that:
- think that "100%" of people with supersensibility rose to 16.3%;
- think that "probably exist" have 49.3%; 19.4% of
- think that "probably does not exist"; only 10.9% of
- do not admit "supersensory power" at all.
That is, "more than half" of American university professors believe that a "sixth sense" actually exists.
So how does psychology describe the "sixth sense"?
In the psychoanalytic school, it is considered a product of the "subconscious mind".
Western psychology believes that "consciousness" receives external stimuli through the five senses, and then analyzes and forms cognition, while " subconscious " is not obtained through logical reasoning, and we generally do not perceive it. In psychology, the subconscious is a general definition of a setThe unconscious mind is collectively called the subconscious mind. When the "subconscious mind" emerges to the level of "consciousness" and is realized by us, it is what we call the "sixth sense".
That is to say, the sixth sense is the "floating thing" of the "subconscious mind".
The deepest research on the subconscious is psychoanalysis. Among the big three psychologists, Freud is the representative of traditional psychoanalysis, Adler is the representative of individual psychology, and Jung is the representative of analytical psychology. Among them, Jung is the most mature in the study of the subconscious.
In Jung's writings, the "subconscious mind" is called the "unconscious". He believes that the unconscious is a super large memory storage warehouse, and emphasizes the use of "intuition" to discover the unconscious, which he often does in his medical practice.
So how does the unconscious float into consciousness?
Jung once described it this way:
"Unconscious processes are not directly comprehended, they are only manifested in their products, and according to the peculiar nature of these products, we suppose that there must be something hidden behind them."
Jung Although not clearly defined, the word "product" is used. Therefore, we boldly guess that this "product" is very likely to be the "sixth sense" that everyone often calls.
Some people think that the "sixth sense" is a primitive instinct of human beings, but why doesn't everyone have it?
For example, the sixth sense of animals seems to be stronger than that of humans, and it can not only predict natural disasters, but also man-made disasters. From ancient and modern Chinese and foreign historical materials, many animals have a sixth sense to predict natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods.
For example, the book "Tangshan Earthquake" records the survey conducted by earthquake workers in the Tangshan area and the surrounding 48 counties. A total of 868 cases of abnormal macroscopic precursors of groundwater and 2093 cases of abnormal macroscopic precursors of animals were collected.
Why do some people lose their sixth sense?
Freud mentioned when talking about the idea of "telepathy", he believed that telepathy is a natural ability of consciousness, but the function of this ability has declined, especially with the rationality of human language production Development, telepathy is suppressed in the subconscious of the vast majority of people.

已经被科学证实的“费洛蒙”
从自然科学或者认知神经科学的角度看，第六感主要包含这几种感觉：
- 直觉
- 内感觉（五脏六腑的痛感、饥饿感等）
- Magnetic sense
- Current sense
- Premonition
- Telepathy
- Pheromone (pheromones) Sensation
The first six "sensations" have not been found to have specific "receptors" (sensory organs) corresponding to them. Only the human "pheromones" have been confirmed by the scientific community, and its organ is the vomeronasal organ.
So what is this "pheromone feeling" (aka pheromone)?
Pheromone is a chemical molecule that transmits a message, not a body odor, but a mysterious chemical with a message-transmitting function. related to love and sex.
Almost all animals have proven pheromones.
For example, snakes can hunt with vomeronasal organs, and the signal left by the prey in the air can easily target the prey. Dogs can distinguish information such as gender and identity through the vomeronasal device. Once a "it dog" enters its own territory, it will start to get nervous and can perceive the high force value of the other party.
Now on the market, there are so-called "pheromone perfumes", which are promoted to attract the opposite sex and increase libido.
But it is a pity that this only confirmed sixth sense organ has been highly degenerated in humans, and only in fetuses and newborns, there are obvious vomeronasal structures.
Therefore, those who study pheromones should consider starting from the "vomeronasal awakening agent".
wrote at the end
Modern science is developing rapidly, but there are still many unanswered questions. For example, the most mysterious and most basic question since ancient times is "what is man?"
Now, the scientific community has confirmed that "ghost" pheromones can enter our subconscious through our vomeronasal organs and give us orders.
This also proves from the side that humans are both rational and non-rational animals.
Finally, I hope the scientific community can solve more "mysteries of the sixth sense".
