In Outerspace, you can't tell if someone is watching you..

If you own a testing laboratory or have a lot of money to commision such a project, then yes.

Really? To simply test whether someone can feel if they're being watched?
Why would that be expensive or difficult?
Why would it be any harder than a hearing test, for example?

In the near future, would it be possible to show that a psychic's ability to detect when someone is staring at them from behind becomes inabilised due to the vacuum of space?

I suppose the human body transmits energy all the time that is picked up by other organisms surrounding it, including another human standing in front of it, no need to be psychic to do that, but that specific function could be lowered in vacuum, since the atmosphere is a major conductor.

No, I understand that side of the argument as well. I know what you mean, I used to think every time at looked at my old digital watch it was always changing to 00. It wasn't of course, just because of the very reasons you say.

i think if i was in space i'd be too busy dying to focus on people standing behind me.

I've just thought about it a bit more. Maybe it's dark matter/physics of the unknown which is responsible? Then you could tell if someone is watching!

Or maybe the straws you're clutching at act as a conduit.
