Why isn't telekinesis possible?

Question

I mean there are all these instructions on how to do it and yet for some reason i pretty sure no one on this earth has accomplished anything yet. Why? and hypothiticly, if it did exsit then there would be a whole new kind/type of energy to study. Is there any scientifi proof of anykind of energy the brain has that can effect the physical world?

Answer 1

i can't do it either - damn!

but then again... i can't lift 70 kilos either.
do you know someone who can, tho'? 'cause i hear many people can lift that weight with no problem!

Answer 2

You can't really prove it's not 100% impossible, but the fact still remains:


The vast majority of mediums and psychics are scam artists or people who believe their own bs. Most of them use cold calling, collect information forehand, etc and likely cannot match another psychic's result for the exact same thing.

From "animal whisperers" to those multiple people who speak with the dead, it's a load of bs

I can't speak for the future. Who knows what 200 years of genetic engineering or playing with man/machines can do? But you have to recognize bs when you see it TODAY.

Answer 3

Why isn't PK possible? I'm not saying it's 100% impossible, but it sure seems that way because there is no mechanism in the brain that allows for it to happen. Furthermore, there is nothing happening that is measurable. Thirdly, there is no evidence that shows anything is going on. So if there is no mechanism, no product and no result then the odds of PK existing seems pretty slim.

Answer 4

Well, as one example: Look into the alleged ability of sea mammals such as the Dolphin that uses sound waves to kill or incapacitate it's prey. I think this represents a valid theory that we may have a similar ability we still don't understand or appreciate that can have an affect/effect on material objects, at least minimally for an average person.Some psychics or mediums call this psychic imprinting.

From a website:
According to a 1 February 2001 article in the Electronic London Telegraph by Robert Uhlig: "... New Scientist reports ... Dolphins use sound booms and clicks to stun and kill their prey ... In one study Ken Marten of Earthtrust, a conservation group in Hawaii, recorded a dolphin emitting a sequence of low-frequency "bangs" while pursuing a fish. ... Denise Herzing, of Florida Atlantic University, recorded wild Atlantic spotted dolphins emitting a medium-frequency buzz while searching for prey on the seabed. She said buried eels jumped out of the sand, and either stopped or moved sluggishly as if stunned, giving the dolphin time to catch them. ...".


Dolphin and Human Brains may contain BioMagnetite that could give them an electromagnetic sense that could provide a link between Brains and many types of electromagnetic phenomena, including but not limited to Schumann Resonance Phenomena.

Answer 5

Kokopelli, are you nuts? You described a perfect example of the self-correcting ability of science, and when the scientists corrected themselves and finally admitted they were wrong about meteorites you called them arrogant!

You demonstrate an astounding inability to understand the simplest concepts; this section is the place for you, no doubt about that!

Answer 6

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

So, your first assumption is incorrect people have accomplished positive results at statistically significantly levels. This of course dismisses your follow up question as to why.

Your new type of energy idea is an assumption (although it may be a correct one no one knows for sure yet).
However, the energy that causes non locality (particles not connected to respond as if they are) is also currently unexplained and show similar results (although this doesn't mean it has to be the same mechanism/energy at work)
No, there is no proof in science of anything. Science deals with evidence and some of it becomes accepted in the scientific community (Newtons law of gravity) until it is over turned or refined (Einstein's law of gravity).
Again your follow up question is mostly not relevant but the answer is no there is not.
However, there is evidence (links below) via experiments that PK may exist what is lacking is sufficient theory to explain the experimental results.
Fast history note: Gravity (in theory) was formulated (by Newton) after experiments showed it to exist (theory followed experiment).
Only string theory predicts that gravity must exist on theory alone.

Answer 7

Anything is possible but the evidence so far for telekinesis is extremely weak; therefore it is difficult to justify further research.

You might do better to ask whether telekinesis is "plausible" or "probable", on the balance of the evidence.

Answer 8

I think telekinesis is 99.9% possible. We use only a fraction of our brains and who knows what else there is to ourselves.

Everything is all made of up atoms and energy at the fundamental level (quantum level). We can probably move tiny particles or molecules with our minds, but don't know it. Moving bigger objects would take much more concentration and since not many people know how to do it consciously, its hard to learn this ability.

Answer 9

like meteorites back in 1772 . After long deliberations and examination of much evidence, the conclusion reached by the committee was that with which they started: there are no such things as hot stones that have fallen from the sky because there are no stones in the sky to fall. Reports of the phenomena must have other explanations – delusionary “visions,” stones heated after being struck by lightning, stones borne aloft by whirlwinds or volcanic eruptions, and so forth. So great was the prestige of the committee and so convincing its arguments that museums all over Western Europe threw away their meteorite specimens. Meteorites were dismissed as superstitions lingering from a time when Jove was thought to punish errant mortals by hurtling his thunderbolts at them. But when evidence of their reality was eventually conceded – in 1803, following another report from the Academy – scientists did not learn humility. They merely congratulated themselves for correcting the errors of
of their predecessors.

Answer 10

Go to the Paranormal section (right before this one) and read what "333" said in the question "Slider Phenomenon with Street Lights". I don't know if that came from her brain...but surely it's a kind of energy in her that makes that happen. (and I do believe she's telling the truth).(That doesn't mean she is...it just means I believe her.) (that was for the skeptics)
EDIT...Yes, it's true....some of the answerers gave websites for this..It's called SLI Phenomenon.

Answer 11

It's possible, in the sense that you cannot logically prove that it is impossible. It's just improbable, that's all. So far, there is no scientific evidence that the brain has this kind of "energy".
