Psühromeeter

Psühromeeter is a hypothetical device described in speculative fiction and fringe theories, intended to measure psychological states or mental energy. The concept of a psühromeeter often appears in contexts exploring extrasensory perception, parapsychology, or the nature of consciousness. There is no scientific basis for the existence or function of such a device, and it is not recognized by mainstream scientific research. Proponents of psühhomeetrid typically suggest they would operate by detecting subtle energetic fields emitted by living beings, which are believed to correlate with emotions, thoughts, or spiritual vitality.

The theoretical workings of a psühromeeter vary widely depending on the fictional narrative or speculative framework. Some descriptions envision them as complex electronic instruments, while others imagine them as more esoteric tools utilizing crystals, psychic resonance, or other unverified phenomena. In popular culture, psühhomeetrid are sometimes depicted as handheld devices that glow or change color in response to the user's or another person's mental state, or as larger, stationary apparatuses designed for more precise measurements. The term itself is a portmanteau of "psycho" (relating to the mind) and "meter" (a measuring instrument), reflecting its purported function. Despite its presence in various imaginative works, the psühromeeter remains firmly in the realm of fiction and unsubstantiated claims.
