Telekinesis: Evidence & Theories on Supernatural Powers

However, there is a great deal of trustworthy evidence for these poorly understood forces of nature. This evidence includes studies by researchers such as Paul Martin, Dick Bierman, Brenda J. Dunne, Roger Nelson, and William G Roll. Roll's PhD paper, titled "This world or That; An examination of Parapsychological Findings suggestive of the survival of Human personality after death," delves into many of these topics.

Thats quite a broad question you're asking there..

First of all, supernatural may not be the right word for it. These forces are yet poorly understood properties of Nature. Due to the nature of them, they howev. don't fit into the current scientific paradigm and are being dismissed by many physicist as purely speculative and get denominated "mystic".

There however is a great deal of "evidence" that is thrustworthy.

to quote Paul Martin the other day:

There is the work of Dick Bierman, Brenda J. Dunne, Roger Nelson that has come up with some significant statistical evidence.

If they are indeed "supernatural", there is no evidence for them

Telekinesis is a paranormal phenomenon in which an individual is able to move or manipulate objects using their mind or other supernatural powers. It is also known as psychokinesis or mind over matter.

2. Is there any scientific evidence for telekinesis?

Currently, there is no scientific evidence for the existence of telekinesis. Many studies have been conducted, but none have been able to prove the existence of this supernatural ability.

3. What are some theories on how telekinesis works?

One theory suggests that telekinesis may be a result of the manipulation of energy fields. Another theory proposes that it could be a form of advanced human consciousness, where the individual is able to tap into their subconscious mind and control their surroundings.

4. Can anyone learn telekinesis?

There is no scientific evidence that telekinesis can be learned or taught. However, some individuals claim to have developed this ability through meditation and other spiritual practices. These claims have not been scientifically proven.

5. How can telekinesis be tested or studied?

Researchers use various methods, such as controlled laboratory experiments and case studies, to study telekinesis. However, due to the lack of consistent and reliable results, it is difficult to design a reliable test for this phenomenon.
