Is telekinesis real? - Emma Bryce

Use the scientific method to investigate whether telekinesis — the ability to control objects with our minds — is really possible.

--

Telekinesis, the ability to manipulate matter with the mind alone, is a trait exhibited by some of the most iconic fictional characters, including Neo, Yoda, and, of course, Carrie. But is this mind control actually possible in real life? Emma Bryce subjects telekinesis to the scientific method.

Anyone who believes in telekenesis please raise my hand

[mrsahilbawa]

I push away everyone in my life with the power of my mind. Does that count?

[yajeer]

Me: _trying to perform telekinesis_

My brain cells: dude we're not paid enough to deal with this

[rbior]

Proof that telekinesis is real: Ask someone to bring you a glass of water. You've just moved an object without being connected to it; using the power of your mind. Congrats 👏

[muhammadzazulirizki]

What if I tell you, I can melt the ice just by staring at it?

Come on, it's real man. I can even read my mind.

I remember a few years ago I was so obsessed with telekinesis I tried it on a orange for like an hour then it rolled a little and I freaked out 🤦‍♀️😂

[ashtraylad]

I don't care what anyone says. I'm always gonna hope that telekinesis is real because it would be so cool. Or something like energy manipulation

[batspider]

me : this ain't real

also me : * tries to bend a spoon *

[pussinbootsisawesome]

Someone: Can move object with his mind.
Government: *G E T T H E M !*

Once science gets advanced enough to understand how energy moves, like through light, then we might be able to learn how to control the electromagnetic fields and actually do something like telekinesis....

My wife has telekinesis power.. she can make things fly towards me when i pissed her off..

I have a story for this. I was in the first grade when a kid in my class pushed my desk back to the other side of the room without using his hands nor feet. There was no one behind me and I was left flabbergasted. He did it again and again to prove that what he was doing was real and to this day I wonder if it was real

Edit: not sure if it has to do with the students native-American beliefs of energy & whatnot but this could be my best guess that it’s a form of energy manipulation- idk? And yes we’re all grown up for anyone asking

I’m sure someone else has brought this up. But, Yoda is not only using his mind to move stuff. His midi-chlorian count is VERY high & he is able to communicate with them. IMHO, using the “Force” is a team sport.

YODA DOESN'T HAVE TELEKINESIS! YODA USES THE

[gloomye]

what if the whole video was just "No." god that would be funny
