Is telekinesis just a theory or a proven fact? Do you know of any documented proof?

Question

If you know of any documented events, could you plz provide the link? and incase its real, how can one aquire the skill? thanks..

Answer 1

Eh, it could go either way.

Why would you want the skill?

Answer 2

The bad news is you can't throw cars, start fires, or levitate your friends. The good news is probably everyone has this ability. Princeton University through a program called PEAR (Princeton Engineering Anomaly Research) for more than 20 years demonstrated that human intentions can effect random number generators. Please note this work is not without its critics. However, most of the critics are not published in peer reviewed science journals as the actual research was, so do consider the sources.

Before this experiments were conducted at the Rhine Research Center as early as the 1930's on falling dice.

One of the findings appear to be that objects in motion are easier to influence (their resting state has yet to be determined) than still objects. Even so the effects usually take statistical analysis to find. While the effects may be significant with statistics they are not impressive in the every day world of experience.

No one can teach you how to do this because science does not yet understand how this ability may work.

Note: Telekinesis is usually called psychokinesis (PK) in the current research literature.

Answer 3

Not only is there no documented proof, there is no documented evidence, whatsoever.

Unfortunately.  It would be fun.

Answer 4

PEAR did a lot of things.  Namely, it showed how poorly designed experiments coupled with biased experimenters can render a result that appears to be positive.  One thing it did not show was any positive evidence for psychic or telepathic phenomena.

An item especially worthy of note: The positive evidence given is a hit rate of *under* 51%.  That's when mere chance dictates a hit rate of 50%.  This is the positive evidence given as proof of the existence of humans' ability to influence random number generators.

Answer 5

to some  is a theory,to others a real capability,

(here's a name;Nina Kulagina)

Uri Geller is another one(in case you are a zceptik,that would be like throwing holy water to a vampire,sorry!)

http://www.uri-geller.com/

a T.V. STATION  is launching a new series called 'Phenomenon', in which  spoonbender Uri Geller and Criss Angel will search for the next great mentalist.

Answer 6

I think that falls into the realm of Hollywood bull s**t.  The only film I ever saw was a Russian lady moving her hand over some pins, bolts, and nails.  Ya they were moving but oh look her other hand is under the table, moving a magnet I would guess.  Its the oldest trick in the world.  Now I did see a cup move by its self in the Whaley house in San Diego.  But also at Disneyland too in the haunted house there. I believe in the paranormal but not telekinesis, at least not by the living.

Answer 7

It is neither a theory, nor a fact.

For the record, in science a theory is something that describes a fact. Example, the Theory of gravity describes gravity. Gravity is a fact. In colloquial speech a theory is an uncertain fact, and this causes confusion when we are talking about scienctific theories.

Nobody has come forth with reliable evidence of the existance of telekinesis. It has not been shown to exist. There have been some studies with very questionable results.

Anyone who claims to have the ability could and would...

a) demonstrate it in a controlled enviroment and win Randis Million Dollar Challenge

b) open up new areas in science

c) shut up all the skeptics who claim telekinesis is baloney

It would be pretty big. Still, noone has ever demonstrated telekinesis in a controlled enviroment, even to the slightest degree.

edit: for the record, the PEAR project was a failure. They failed to get numbers beyond the statistical range of chance.

Answer 8

It's neither it's a myth.by the way that Princeton thing was laughed out of existence It's still an embarrassment to the University.
