user400: Buddha says that he hears some god having foolish thought. I think it's the story of Bakka Brahma.
He "transfer" himself to the god's presence and lectures. And his disciples too.
That seems like long distance communication.
That seems to be well within the realm of science.
Now anyone test this?
Get a buddha, or a bodhisatva (buddha had many disciples, each can show up on Bakka Brahma tools). Ask them for one number and let the other guesses.
Would it works?

user-1: 
"Can a buddha communicate with someone in far away places?"

Question falls under the Four Imponderables, namely the first Acinteyya, i.e. the range of powers of a Buddha:


The Buddha-range of the Buddhas [i.e., the range of powers a Buddha develops as a result of becoming a Buddha];

The jhana-range of one absorbed in jhana [i.e., the range of powers that one may obtain while absorbed in jhana];

The [precise working out of the] results of kamma;

Speculation about [the origin, etc., of] the cosmos is an imponderable that is not to be speculated about.


--  Acintita Sutta, Anguttara Nikaya 4.77.

These imponderables the Buddha advices not to contemplate since they will only serve to agitate and destabilize the mind making it less suitable for meditation practice.
