Can a spoon really bend with just a thought?

Question

Can a spoon really bend with just a thought?

Answer 1

It is only a magic trick

Answer 2

Only in the minds of gullible people and the claims made by scam artists.

Answer 3

I don't know let me think about it.

Psi

Answer 4

Anything is possible.

A friend of mine can bend quarters. He had me take out one of my own and hold it, then he took it between his fingers and told me to point my finger. He then rubbed it against my finger and bent it. Not once did my eyes leave the quarter and he never tried to take it from my sight.

I don't know how he did it, but it was one h**l of a trick.

Answer 5

No.  The magician quickly bends the spoon on his chair while distracting your attention elsewhere.  Then, as he holds it, he turns it subtly so that, from your vantage point, it looks like it is bending.

Answer 6

a pokemon named abra can do it...

Answer 7

from all my telekinesis, u cant really, its kinda hard, and if you re not telekinetic , there is a secret to bending a spoon!

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

Thanks to Geller, that's what BILLIONS of people around the world think! It's A STUPID TRICK!

Answer 10

No.  You must bend it with your hand while giving the impression you're lightly rubbing it.

Answer 11

There have been scientifically proved instances of telekinesis. A person who has the ability to manipulate objects with thought might be able to bend spoons with just mental energy. The U.S. Gov. has done numerous studies on this and have achieved some very impressive results.

Answer 12

Ofcourse not it's just a trick !!!

Answer 13

There is no spoon

Answer 14

Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth....There is no spoon. Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

Answer 15

Ha! I was going to answer the same "Matix" quote that SmokeAd...did. :-) Funny. That's great!! Of course the spoon doesn't bend. Be wrap your mind around a new concept long enough and you'll start to believe ANYTHING is true!!

Of course, there are SOME things that are true. Just not bending spoons.

Answer 16

NO!

Answer 17

Spoons can't think so the answer has to be no.

Answer 18

Only in the matrix

Answer 19

of corse not thats why they call it a magic TRICK

Answer 20

What are you talking about?  Spoons can't think!

Actually, yes.  I can THINK about using my hand to bend the spoon, and lo, the spoon bends!  But that's not what you meant, was it?  You want to know if you can make a spoon bend without touching it, using only your mind.

The answer is no.  In order to bend a spoon or deform ANY solid material, you need to apply a force.  There are four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces.  The strong and weak nuclear forces operate over extremely short distances (like, the tiny distances between particles in the atomic nucleus), so they can't be used to make a spoon bend.  Gravity can't be controlled by your mind; it's simply a product of mass.  Unless you can summon mass into existence (and thereby violate the law of conservation of mass and energy), gravity remains beyond your control.

Now your nervous system DOES run on electrical impulses, but these are meager in comparison to what you would need to generate an EM force strong enough to bend a spoon.

So, once again, unless there is a fifth mysterious force unknown to science, the answer is no.

Answer 21

I doubt it.  They can only if you eat a SpoonBender from Good Times!  ha-ha just joking

Answer 22

Nope, unless that thought triggers your fingers to grab the spoon and bend it. It's just a hoky magic trick. Funny how Geller still milks it. He owes everything he has to that stupid magic trick.

Answer 23

Only on Fox Reality shows on TV
