Is TELEKINESIS possible???

Question

Is Telekinesis possible?

Theories surrounding it?

????

Answer 1

I can't prove an impossible and don't care to anyway, but if PK were possible, it would dramatically alter our understanding of the universe.

Answer 2

Telekinesis is now called psychokinesis (PK) in the scientific research literature and despite the many editorials offered by skeptics there is actual research that supports it's existence.

There are many theories surrounding psychokinesis. Please don't confuse the YA skeptics inability to understand them with the theories not existing.

Psi

Answer 3

Is it possible?  In the sense that it cannot logically be proven to be impossible, perhaps.

But practically speaking, it does not seem to be possible at all. Certainly our knowledge of physics and neurology does not predict that such an ability would exist. Ostensible demonstrations of psychokinesis (PK) have not risen above those that could equally well be reproduced by amateur magicians, so there is little reason to believe they are legitimate. Regardless, some researchers have tried to establish the existence of PK anyway by performing statistical experiments with random number generators (see the Rhine Institute, or Princeton's PEAR project). However, the results generated by these research teams are at best described as debatable, at worst described as pathological science.

That brings me to your 2nd question regarding any theories for PK. No, there are none (no scientifically valid ones, that is), and that is one of those warning sings that you're dealing with more of a pseudoscience than anything else. A theory starts with a valid scientific hypothesis that is tested and confirmed by repeated experiments by independent research teams, and anything less is not a theory. However, parapsychologists have not even got this far. Because our present scientific knowledge does not predict the existence of PK, it's impossible to form a valid hypothesis for it other than the trivial "PK exists". But this is an orphaned superficial hypothesis completely separated from any sound foundation in known science. That's a great example of how science does NOT proceed. Science is a process which builds upon itself, and here is a good example where the results are being presumed first with no supporting theoretical foundation. As U of O psychology professor Ray Hyman said of remote viewing research, "you need a positive theory to guide you as to what needs to be controlled, and what can be ignored. Parapsychologists have not come close to this as yet."

Answer 4

To be a total sceptic, I don't know. The problem with parapsychology is that the scientists who study in this Field tend to either believe something is true and then go out to prove it, or they don't believe anything is true and go out to prove that as well. This results in a picture that isn't very clear with a lot of intellectual chest beating.

The idea that spirits throw things around is an ancient one and since we are spirits housed  in bodies, it would follow that we could do this if we knew how.

But then if I knew how to be telekinetic I wouldn't tell anyone cause I would get locked up real quick. Why? Because people would say it was done by a 'trick' while I would say it was done by psionics and the psychiatrists would say it was done by a nutter and introduce me to a nice gentleman whom would ask me lots of questions about my mother before giving me a snug jacket and a quiet room with soft walls to relax in.

Answer 5

They are not real.Only tricks like that of magicians.

Answer 6

No.

The theories surrouding it are all quack theories, without any merit.

Answer 7

No, it's not possible.

Answer 8

Yes its real. People have been doing them for years.

Answer 9

Yes, it is possible. You have to learn how to focus your kinetic energy.

Make sure there are no distractions when you do this exercise.

Put an object like a (this is what I used to practice with) spark plug gap thingie on the end of a six to eight inch string.

Focus the direction in which you want the object to move.

Will it to move in the direction you want it to. Practice this exercise as much as you can.

After you do this for a while(at least practice for a few months)

try to set something lightweight on a table. Focus upon the object to move at your will. Hope this helps you out!

Remember this takes a while to learn this, so don't get discouraged.
