Is There Any Scientific Evidence That Telekinesis Exists?

Telekinesis is the ability to move inanimate objects at will. Some examples include:

  • changing the direction of a compass needle,
  • moving objects in the air,
  • bending metal items, or
  • extinguishing the flame of a candle at a distance.

Among the psychic phenomena such as clairvoyance, telepathy, and others, the phenomenon of telekinesis is one of the most intriguing ones. These psychic abilities have long puzzled the human mind. They have been known to yogis, mystics of antiquity, who were believed to be able to materialize objects, move them, or lift them into the air. Do these miraculous psychic powers exist and is it possible to affect material objects without direct physical impact, according to science?

Is It Possible to Measure Telekinesis in Laboratory Settings?

Some researchers claim that the possibility of telekinesis being real could have associations with the formation of powerful physical fields (telekinesis generates a strong electromagnetic field and acoustic signals that last about 0.1-0.01 seconds).

However, even if telekinesis exists, measuring it in laboratory settings would be a challenging task. The difficulty of studying the phenomenon of telekinesis would have to do with the fact that the results of experiments would be hardly reproducible. Thus, it wouldn’t be an easy task to study telekinesis by conventional methods of modern science. People who claim they have telekinesis usually can’t explain how they do it and find it difficult to manage this condition and to reproduce it in subsequent experiments.

People who claim to be telekinetic also say that they experience extreme physical and mental stress that has tangible effects on their health. During experiments, they would experience acute brain activity, high blood pressure, and increased heart rate. Even when the experiment is over, the subject needs much time to recover and return to their normal state.

According to people who claim to have psychic abilities such as telekinesis, it often appears as a result of injury, illness, stress, or trauma. If this is true, it could hint at the hidden reserves of the human brain.

Experiments at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Laboratory

Dr. Robert G. Jahn, the head of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR), conducted a series of experiments on consciousness-related anomalous phenomena such as telekinesis, which aimed to confirm the possibility that the human mind can affect material objects.

It included thousands of experiments, which involved hundreds of men and women of all ages and professions. Subjects had to move a pendulum, placed under a transparent plastic cap. They were also asked to affect a variety of devices and liquid media, such as highly precise chronometers, lasers, electrical generators of electromagnetic radiation, and water.

As a result, some subjects did show evidence of psychic abilities, but the observed effects were too small, counting for about 0,1%. Moreover, the experiments were then criticized in the scientific literature for the flaws in experiment procedures, a lack of control series, and ethical violations.

Thus, according to psychologist C. E. M. Hansel, who assessed the results of Jahn’s experiments,

“Very little information is provided about the design of the experiment, the subjects, or the procedure adopted. Details are not given about the subjects, the times they were tested, or the precise conditions under which they were tested.”

So, unfortunately, to date, there is no confirmed scientific evidence that telekinesis exists. However, anything is possible, and it could be that future experiments may help to reveal the possibility of telekinesis.

  • I achieved telekinesis inadvertently for the first time 2007 and no, it was nothing to do with a will to believe or with self-delusion or hallucination and there IS scientific explanation for it but the explanations are not considered credible by conventional science and that's because conventional science is prone to confirmation bias. When they see something that doesn't adhere to conventional scientific beliefs and assumptions (and believe me, there are plenty of assumptions in science) they simply refuse to accept it (cognitive dissonance). Telekinesis is definitely real and definitely possible and I know how it works. In my case, I managed to launch a large pile of toys all the way across a 21-ft room - that was NOT imaginary - I had to clean up all the toys the next morning. Even I went into a state of cognitive dissonance at first and refused to believe that it had happened, even though it was me who had achieved it myself. It took me quite a bit of time to actually come to terms with the fact that it was real and it happened. If you really want a scientific explanation then study quantum mechanics. It explains how these kind of phenomena are indeed possible due to the true nature of reality which is not acknowledged by mainstream science. The circular thinking pattern of "it can't happen so it didn't" is typical of atheism and yet atheists use the exact same argument against religious believers. It seems that atheism is not only the biggest form of cerebral narcissism but is also the most effective form of mind control in existence today.

    • I stand with Marc Hubs, the mainstream is full of shit nower days, on the behalf of conventional science and a bunch load of other crap. Telekinesis has been real ever since mankind was born, all the way down from since Jesus and so on. What really trips me is people view Telekinesis as a joke, when its really not that complicated to think about. And when you do think about it, its like going through training wheels all over again, but this time your using your mind and energy on objects, sounds critical but its simple. Telekinesis is definitely possible, so I encourage you to view these links

      This may be confusing, but these are the sources that I've used to achieve telekinesis on a simple bases.

  • Who knows, maybe its as easy as Wim Hofs discovery. The iceman can stand in ice for up to 80 minutes maybe even more his outer body cools down while his core stays the same, he taught a couple vice reporters the technique which was a breathing system and cold immersion. They were able to climb a polish mountain at -20 degrees in their shorts not to mention the guy has been under scientific study with 12 of his students and they were able to defeat an endotoxin which in normal conditions produces shivering, fever, nausea in normal people for up to 4 hours. While him and his team felt nothing.

    Look him up. He's real and has science to prove it. He claims he can tap into the inner most part of the brain the very primitive brain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Hof and the vice documentary is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaMjhwFE1Zw&t=69s

    He climbed mount Everest in his shorts. If anyone is super human, he is. We all have that power in us.

    Maybe its the same for this kind of stuff. Who knows. Maybe all it takes is one person to find it and show the rest of us.

  • Now come on, guys! Maybe you've got fairies living at the bottom of your garden and you believe in Ghosts, Flying Saucers, Astrology and God! - The ONLY proven phenomenon in which matter is influenced by consciousness, is reproduced via various physical variations of the Two Slit Experiment. In 1996, the James Randi Educational Foundation began offering a one million dollar prize to anyone able to prove they possess psychic powers. Need I write more?

  • We all have a telekinetic ability. It is simply a matter of developing and connecting with it. Even the Bible refers to this ability. It is a natural function of conciousness. There was a point in our evolution in which this phenomemon played a part in our survival.
