The field's foundational crisis: The apparent incompatibility of psi phenomena (telepathy, precognition, psychokinesis) with the causal, local, and time-asymmetric framework of known physics. Even if statistical anomalies in experiments exist, the hard problem is constructing a mechanism that doesn't unravel fundamental physics. How does information travel without energy (telepathy)? How does an effect precede its cause (precognition)? How does mind influence matter without force (psychokinesis)? The phenomena, if real, aren't just unexplained; they seem to require a revolution that overthrows locality, causality, or conservation laws.
