[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 3604561, member: 2020"] Fascinating! Let's assume that one can, as with verbal conversation, choose to 'not listen' to a telepathic message (just as one might deliberately ignore someone rudely shouting verbally ... they'll still hear the annoying sound, but not understand it as they weren't listening.) Let's make a big assumption: *Mirrors* block telepathy. A True Mirror - a mirror of silvered glass - completely blocks telepathy, one-way. A shiny, polished metal plate (a metal mirror) blocks it completely, both ways. Water acts to shut it out. The more water, the more it shuts it out until it shuts it out totally (since water is partially reflective.) Lumps of metal that would be reflective if shaped and polished cut it down partially. The more metal, the more it dims it. Ordinary glass partially shuts it out. It depends on how reflective the glass is, and how thick it is. To completely shut it out, would require either a lot of glass or highly reflective glass. Thus, lead wouldn't be very useful, for it reflects poorly. Silver would work well. Shiny silica would also work. Even water poured into walls would help. No light is needed. The presence of light is irrelevant. Only how well the object *reflects* or could (if shaped) reflect light is relevant. EDIT: Lying with telepathy would be as easy, in this case, as lying normally. False images could be envisoned and sent to as lies, as well. [/QUOTE]
