Telekinesis is real

[Krillin]

No it isn't. There are examples of people who have an abnormally strong magnetic field, and can actually influence (very, very slightly) different magnetic materials, but telekinesis is non-existent.

Yes, it's possible. If you think about it, if we didn't have ears, we wouldn't know about hearing/sound waves. If we didn't have touch, we wouldn't even know about that sense. So if we don't have the physical capabilities for other possible senses, we wouldn't know about them.

That said, I'm a very strong advocate of "don't assume it exists until there's a reason to think so" logic. Or 'innocent until proven guilty'. And right now I have no reason to think it exists beyond Geocities sites and speculation (someone is going to come along with an article about how FBI use force-sensitive people now for their investigations, I know).

Did you get this from that X-men video game?

We are beyond senses, now. We use technology to tell us how things are.

Oh well it might be real.

I believe we live in a universe of infinite possibilities. Telekinesis is one of those possibilities, but it's pretty unlikely right now. Give evolution a couple hundred years or so, then maybe. Or just wait until technology can give us that ability.

[Jewtastic]

The human brain could allow us to use Telekinesis. However we only use 3% of our brain...and thats not in the 3%, sorry, but its not possible for us.

[Whompt]

Ooo! We should play God and patchwork us up a brain that uses 100% of it's potential. I'd be so proud, right before the hypersentient being erased me from existence with a passing thought.

[Super Buu]

I found some of the 'articles' on that site hilarious.

If you think about something over and over, it will come true. A person that KNOWS that he will heal himself. Is going to be healed. That's one of the reasons why Christians have a greater chance of healing themselves when sick. Because they believe and visualize it as if it were true already.

Blind conviction =/= actual happenings. This ain't Discworld.

And Heffers, you can't say that it's impossible. If we don't know something exists, it's difficult to build a machine to be able to sense it. There are some things machines can pick up that we can't, but that doesn't mean there aren't more things that not even machines have stumbled onto yet.

I'm not arguing for the existence of telekinesis. But I'm one of the 'nothing is impossible' folk.

Yes, how true that is, especially since teh first perosn, I believe, to have said that was a supposed mind-reader. If someone has nails or something in the brain, do you think teh doctors go, "Oh, well, that was a part of the ninety-seven percent they don't use!" I've seen studies of scientists working on brain activity, and more than three, or ten, percent is used for sure.

[Jewtastic]

Im not saying surface area Heffers. Im saying out of all capacity. The brain is an extremly powerful tool, and it limits its usage. And 3% was a rough number I heard a long time ago, so that might be wrong, but still you understand what I meant...Im sure.

I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying I sincerely doubt the likelihood of it. There's a lot of strange things allowed by physics, but what sort of mechanism would allow that to happen? There's only one that I come close to thinking of, but we can't control that in the manner we would need to.

Pfft! Nails in the brain ain't nuthin.

[Super Buu]

I'm sceptical of how an organic ball of tissue, even working at 100%, would somehow pick up the ability to use telekinesis.

Efficiency?

Nothing can achieve 100% efficiency.

Thats what I wondering.

[Jewtastic]

If it was a spelled something wrong then you still know what I mean. As for that, you're right, nothing can, but still, we could get a lot closer to full power then 3 to 10%

Mursaki has a point there.

[Hellfighter 17]

Actually, ten percent would be pretty darn good.

As I remember it, gasoline-powered cars are only point-one percent effective. Plus, I doubt the numbers we have provided.
