This was originally in response to a question about telekinesis, but I began to wonder what others thought of my theory.

Its all a matter of going beyond what the human consciousness is aware of.
Similar to my theory of walking through walls and other porous objects:
Everything is made up of molecules and atoms. Subconciously your mind controls the atoms and molecules that form you. If you can somehow manage to use that part of your mind consciously you'd be able to manipulate yourself to fit through the porous object and then resume your form on the other side.

However for the sake of telekinesis you'd have to take into account the distance and how much of your structure you can manipulate to extend and move something. While some may say this technically isn't telekinesis it would be very similar.

You would also have to take into account the weight of the object and how many particles it would take to lift and sustain it. Thinking about it now, I believe that simply manipulating yourself would require a tremendous amount of energy.

There may be studies on this, or perhaps this is new. Either way its what I decided on in geosystems one day. Theoretically and Hypothetically its possible, and impossible at the same time. There are too many unknowns and variables for me to take into account since Im only a first year college student, not even majoring in physics/biology/quantam mechanics(I think those are the right subjects).

No its impossible. Saying theoretically possible is equavalent to saying its theoretically possible to do anything.

Let's see some natural forces mankind know.
Gravity:
Everyobject including human body produce gravity. But it is least understood and although particle description of gravity exist it is very poorly understood subject. Magically increasing gravity (basically violating known relationship of mass/gravity) of certain object(say your body) have never been observed in our universe and directing such gravity toward specific spot is impossible and such a type of gravity(shooting into just one spot) doesn't exists at least in our universe. All gravity from all object travel out to universe evenly following inverse square relationship.

Electromagnetism: One of more plausible candidate. There is one family whose bodies were magnetic. Metals will stick to their body. I saw it on those weird TV show, but don't remember exactly where. Your blood contains hemoglobin which contains iron center. I suspect there was some mutation in their gene that turned their hemoglobin unusually magnetic. Magnetic state of metal can be manipulated by attaching some large molecule to single metal atom and changing its structure. But again you can't direct this force into specfic spot. Either your body turns magnetic or its not magnetic.

Strong forces, weak forces, others if there are:
Provide glueing force for molecules/atoms to stay together. They're unlikely to be major player for moving objects.

Also, Entaglement is not a force, but...
Entanglement is a spooky phenonmena seen at subatomic(large molecules in some cases)scale. Two particles act as though they are single entity. So if you place A mile away and spin B(entangled with A) in one direction, A will do exactly the same.
Entangled light photons can transmitt information and have been used to make bank wire transfer as experiment. It can be notoriously difficult to keep 2 entangled particles and one cannot entangled 2 separte particles apart. They must be entangled first and then separated. Which would be useless for telekinesis anyways, but quite pointless since you can't get particles in your brain to get entangled with particles in object of your choice. There never have been observation of entanglement of anything larger than may be group of atoms, or 2 molecules. Nothing close to anything visible to human eye.

As you can see there are no known, observed physical forces or processes that can make telekinesis possible. If your body turns magnetic it will be just a human magnet and can't say it is telekinesis since things will stick to him/her whether he or she like it or not. Also it's little risky to say mind controls the molecules when the conscious mind can be result of molecules interactions with each other. One can react to outside element and bring on emotions that may change brain chemistry, but you can see its hard to say which causes which.

According to String Theory everything is made up of nothing but different vibrations. So why, in theory, couldn't a being of advanced intellect will things in and out of being. Walk through walls, deflect light, or gravity.
