I was just doing some thinking in an attempt to understand how a telepath's psychic ability works. Here is my theory, pretty much all life forms on earth are some sort of electrical based beings correct? Our brains and nervous systems operate through way of electro-chemical impulses. So it is my theory that telepaths have some region of their brains dedicated to emitting low level electronic pulses. Also i think the span of control a telepath may have as far as their ability goes can be broken down into 3 basic categories, the ability to read, write and execute. Read obviously being able to interpret the the signals and pulses that the brain puts out, write being the ability to over write or alter electrical pulses in the brain, and execute being the ability to send commands to the nervous systems of individuals in order to create a reaction such as mind controlling someone's body. I know this sounds a bit far fetched but i was just attempting to make a S.W.A.G. as to how a telepath's abilities might work. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

maybe like i said i was just posting up my theory, either way i think there brain has developed differently and the have a part of their brain meant for sending and receiving signals

Xavier has been able to communicate telepathically with Lilandra over light years with no lag so I wouldn't say that telepaths emit electronic pulses, they emit/receive/manipulate some sort of fictional particle/wave/energy that operates instantly. The speed of telepathy is thought and action in unison. Meaning Xavier thinks and instantly Lilandra receives it light years away.
Telepaths are more like receptors, they're constantly blocking out thoughts of others around them. Even world class telepaths are constantly block out thoughts of others around them. But they are able to reverse the link though. That means that they have to actively reverse the link. Receiving thoughts requires no effort this pathway is always on.
Psionic Energy doesn't have a concrete definition. Exodus called it life energy and the Phoenix Force is a Psionic Nexus and she's been associated with life energy, then we have plenty of other instances where it's called thought energy. And then we other instances where non-telepathic character manipulates an element or aspect of nature "psionically"/mentally so one would assume psionic energy has something to do with the mind.
Psionic Energy was described as Exodus in everything plants humans etc...however we also find it in the atmosphere: http://img405.imageshack.us/my.php?...onx01817mn0.jpg
Telepathy has been shown to be inhibited by electromagnetic energy(Magneto permanently impairing all long range telepathy) and has been shown to inhibit electromagnetic energy(Xavier breaking a magnetic field using his powers), it works both ways. So it's nature could be similar to electromagnetic energy however the speed of the wave/particle/energy is not calculable since it can travel light years instantly.
I think that many abilities seen in comics can in some way be explained by some science but the level of the ability here in the real world would be much weaker or lower than their comic incarnation IE super speeders would not be going faster than light, and so on and so on. Taking that into account do you still think that telepaths can communicate at instantaneous speeds? Their thought waves still need to travel across some medium.

I'm not sure, I know that you get instances where people can sense when loved ones are in accidents(trouble) and that is the closest thing I can think of in Real Life to telepathy. Its more empathy but you instantly know(a gut feeling) when something has gone wrong. Whether it's due to an emotinal link being severed or an emotional surge through the rapport you share with that person can't really be said. So not really sure I'll have to think about that.
I know what your talking about there, most people say it's an empathy thing i think, I know iI personally have had some experiances like that my self but they mostly came in the forms of dreams and a few rare precongative guesses
