Does telekinesis exist..?

Question

i remember seeing a video on discovery tv in which a woman performed telekinesis...

Answer 1

I think so.  Ever wished you knew where the remote was and it was just there when you weren't looking? Kidding.  Mom, said when I was two I'd get upset about something and glasses would jump off the counter and break.  If i have a bad headache or I'm angry pictures have been known to fall at just that moment.  oooh Creepy!

Answer 2

yes it does...that mouse icon on your computer that just moved, that was me!!!

Answer 3

telekinesis is real and does exist.

Answer 4

It has never been demonstrated in a scientific setting.  

The James Randi site offers a one million dollar reward for anyone who can demonstrate this type of phenomena.

The reward has never been claimed.   Don't you think if anyone could actually do this would want a million dollars!  They would be stumbling all over themselves to be tested.  And this is something that could easily be tested.

The people who say it is real, cannot offer you one shred of proof that it is, and offer you nothing but absolute hogwash.    The so called proof I've read people post so far is nothing but unsubstantiated blather. Period.  You can say anything.  But scientific proof is another thing.  And there ain't none!

Answer 5

course it does i have it its awsome its like having a robot the only downside is that u have to see wat ur moving :-(

Answer 6

Absolutely.

You put a penny on the table. Then you sit down in front of it and try moving it with your mind and your mind alone. The exercise is over when the penny moves by more than an inch. It is important that you don't speak, move, drink or eat until the penny moves! And under no circumstances, I repeat, under no circumstances can you go on the internet until you succeed!

OK? Go and try it!

Answer 7

i think it is. When ever i try with a little paper i always see a slight move ment

Answer 8

If all you've got is bad quality video of standard magic tricks from some internet site for evidence of telekinesis, you're in pretty sad shape.

Despite the egregious misinformation constantly posted by YA paranormal evangelists, evidence for telekinesis (or psychokinesis or PK) is very limited and and pretty much ignored as bad science by the rest of the scientific community, and for good reason. While some may claim that PK has been "demonstrated at statistically significant levels by thousands of individuals over thousands of experiments (many of them repeated)", a thousand badly designed, badly performed and badly analyzed experiments don't sum up to one good experiment, and the statistical significance mentioned above is at best debatable, at worst laughable.

Moreover, some might point to internet videos of sleight-of-hand magicians such as Nina Kulagina and claim it's not magic at all but paranormal ability. This is rubbish, and Kulagina's tricks are standard fare for the amateur magician nowadays. The moving of an object under a glass cover is a standard magic show trick. The history of psi is filled with frauds trying to bamboozle the public, and Kulagina was no different. You might find videos of unknown authenticity of Kulagina and others on the internet, but consider your source. Don't be gullible.

I've included a link below which is heavily documented so that you can check its accuracy if you wish. You'll find it entertaining reading. I especially like the part about J.B. Rhine (of the Rhine Institute) being totally bamboozled by a trained horse!

Answer 9

yes - don't let the others tell you different.

Answer 10

Telekinesis (TK) is now called Psychokinesis (PK) in the scientific research literature. Evidence for PK has been collected and established since the 1930's when it was first studied in a scientific manner by J. B. Rhine.

I have included links for you below so you can read up on the actual research.

Despite claims that no one has ever demonstrated PK it has been demonstrated by thousands of people during thousands of experiments (many repeated) at statistically significant levels.

Also, please note the debunkers have to chage the argument to it has never been conclusively demonstrated I agree and note that nothing else in science has ever met the conclusive criteria either.

While this work certainly has critics most of them fail to get published in peer reviewed science journals where the original research is published.

Lack of qualifications to get published and/or laziness in not submitting a rebuttal does not make your criticism recognized but publication in a peer reviewed science journal does.

Also, despite misinformation frequently posted on YA peer review panels do not simply publish articles because they think they are interesting (though it is true they don't have to agree with the conclusions although the research shows that panelist that agree with the conclusion vote for publication and those that do not vote for not publishing in the vast majority of the cases) any publication submitted is judged on methodology and several other criteria (varies by journal) in general bad science (poor methods, bad statistics, etc.) does not make it into Nature, Science, Lancet, or any other peer reviewed science journals as this would make the journal, the supporting organization and the reviewers look less than professional.

Answer 11

NO!

Answer 12

nope.

Answer 13

If it were,you wouldn't have to ask.You'd most certainly know all about it.

Answer 14

And I saw the show where aliens attacked the Earth.  Fortunately, it's easy to trick people with editing and slight of hand that you can't see in videos.  If telekinesis were real, it would be very easy for someone to demonstrate it.  This guy will give anyone a million bucks for a quick demo.  http://www.randi.org  And since no one has ever been able to do so, it looks like no, it doesn't actually exist.

Answer 15

I forgot, is telekinesis where you can move things without touching them or when you can thrust your consciousness into someone else's mind to read their thoughts?

I can't seem to keep these superpowers straight.
