World Lore- Aether particles
Wouldn't be a sci-fi universe without some science in it. Pull out your physics textbooks, kids, I'm about to explain how telepathy can function without magic.
In the realm of Quailian Mechanics, aether particles are technically signature particles that are emitted after a Calveranian energy field has been created. This energy field acts on frequencies- the higher the frequency, the more complex the energy field.
Telekinesis is believed to be performed by brain waves becoming "attuned" to the frequency required to create a low-functioning Calveranian energy field. Telekinesis is then, by this definition, a simple task to perform for the alien species whose minds are capable of creating an energy field.
Telempathy is considered the next highest frequency, and is a bit more complex than the last. Telempathy is the ability to read the emotions of another living form, but the catch is that it must be sentient. Telempathy cannot be done with animals, as the brain waves of such creatures are too simple to create an energy field with.
Telempathy requires the telempath to create the equivalent of a band width, broad and wide enough to catch the high-functioning waves of the person they are reading. Once this band width is on the correct or closest frequency to the person's brain waves, they are able to become "joined". This is, in essence, how the telempath is capable of feeling the person's emotions.
Telepathy works in a similar way, only it is much harder to perform and there are very few life forms in the galaxy who may be capable of doing it. Telepathy works like telempathy, but requires a greater amplification in order to become tuned into the highest form of brain activity that is seen in sentient life forms.
Telepathy is rarely achieved these days due to a physical limitation that is brought on by thousands of years of evolution. The Vidarri were known to have horn or crescent-shaped protrusions from the head, and many believe that this was physical epicenter of the amplification that was needed in order to perform telepathy.
Supposedly, there are Walango and Lyvera who are capable of performing the feat without a natural satellite on their bodies that produce the amplification. Very few studies have been done on these groups, however, as politics and overall lack of interest in a "dead science" have allowed for this knowledge to wither.
