Can the human mind influence matter?

Question

Can the human mind influence matter?

Answer 1

Sure. Just look at how we've influenced the entire planet.

Answer 2

Why of course!  How else could I have answered this question? The last time I checked, my fingers, the keyboard, the computer, etc. were all made of matter and were all being influenced by my mind.

Answer 3

that is a quantum physics question but as far as i know yes.

Answer 4

I beleive your greatest answer is none. Influence.... ? Invent, create, change the periodical chart of chemistry, or make a new world with our own to hands... not physically. Dream, hope, love, or have faith in a woman or man that loves us for any reason of our own minds. That to me is how idea's, compasion and things that can not be explained by us change or "influence" this world.

Answer 5

yes but only through our mental contructs. only through our beliefs, our intentions, all according to our personal representation of the universe.

Answer 6

Not unless it is brain matter (assuming the mind and brain are two separate but interconnected things).

Answer 7

We can manipulate matter. Only Deity can control matter.

Answer 8

a motoric part of the brain can make my hand producing any certain matter of thing which i have in mind can be produced by me.

Answer 9

Yes, but not in a way that determines an intentional result.

Or at least there has been no repeatedly confirmed examples of this happening as far as mainstream science is concerned.

Answer 10

lift weights, jog until u collapse, study until u understand completely.... the 'will' of the mind can influence the actions we commit, (and also influence others who look to follow in our footsteps)... therefor, influencing the physical world as well...

Answer 11

the matter to yourself yes. To others, maybe the mind chages your expression, that may cause influence.

Answer 12

The human mind controls the human body, and the human body can influence matter, so indirectly, yes.

Answer 13

no, unless you count the mind controlling the body that controls matter.
