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!

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!

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.

Psychokinesis (literally "mind-movement") or PK, previously known as telekinesis (literally "distant-movement"), is the alleged psi ability to influence the behavior of matter by mental intention or activity. The term remote influencing came into more widespread use in 2004. The term remote influencing describes the application of psychokinesis to biological systems.[citation needed] This may be to impact positively or negatively upon health, mood, or decision making. Similarly, remote viewing has been applied to clairvoyance. These terms emerged from research undertaken by the American government, for the application of psychic abilities to intelligence gathering, military force, and remote assassination. Claims in this area are made in The Men Who Stare At Goats, written by Jon Ronson to accompany his British TV series The Crazy Rulers of the World. It is claimed in the 1980s at 'goat lab' at Fort Bragg, special forces troops attempted to influence the heart rate of mammals such as goats. It is claimed skilled remote influencers can stop the hearts of goats and hamsters long enough to cause death. According to Ronson, on the personal instructions of Donald Rumsfeld post 9/11, over 100 goats were shipped to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and the research was resumed. Glenn Wheaton claims to have been involved in the original ‘goat lab’ project in the 1980s, and continues his research in partnership with Dick Allgire through the Hawaiian Remote Viewing Guild. The combination of the intent of psychokinesis, and the control and focus of remote viewing, reportedly enables specific parts of the mind and body of any person to be remotely influenced. The programs are generally said to be secret, making verification difficult. Incidents of illness in world figures, such as George W. Bush's loss of consciousness after choking on a pretzel in January, 2002, have been ascribed to psychic attacks. Many websites offer to sell courses that purportedly teach remote viewing and remote influencing.

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.

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!

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.

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!
