The Stargate Project was the code name of a $20 million dollar research project funded by the United States Federal Government to study the possibility of using psychic powers for military gains.  One of the central goals of the project was to master “remote viewing.”  Remote viewing is the ability to psychically “see” things, places, and information from extreme distances using ESP.  The project took place from the 1970s to 1995 as a way to get a leg up on the Soviets.  How great would it be if we could watch things taking place from a great distance from the safety of our homes.  It would have to have a snappy, high-tech name.  Let’s see.   What’s the Greek word for “distance”?  Tele.  And we want to put another word in there that shows that we are actually seeing it.  Vision!  We will call it “Television”!!!
