do you believe in telekinesis? if so which theory? and why o``r why not?

I don't have any comment on this, but I was wondering what your stand is on this. Since you did come up with the conversation. I might comment if I get a bit more info on the subject.

RequiemHaunt : i believe that everyone has the ability to use it and that its a gift from God.

Telekinesis is the ability to move objects with your mind, right?
hmm.. Maybe god can, but I've never seen a person do it!

I will have to say NO, until I am proven wrong. Drag00n, if you think you can move objects with your mind, post a link of you doing it. Otherwise, sorry I say telekinesis is fake. If you are going to prove me wrong, good luck .

Not.
The only scientific possibility would be manipulating the atoms via repulsion and attraction (like magnets) but how would you generate that, and in a unique way that would actualy allow direct control. Until we can do it with machines, i think no.

I'm going to say No, until it is proven.

James Randi will give one million USD to anyone who can prove that paranormal or supernatural phenomenon such as Telekinesis is real, in a controlled scientific setting. This prize money has been available for years and not a single person has been able to prove it.

I have seen no convincing evidence for the existence of telekinesis, although I wish I could perform it. Annette's reference to Randi is a pretty amusing anecdote related to it... Does anyone remember Uri Geller, spoon-bender extraordinaire? James Randi showed that his "psychic abilities" could easily be replicated with a bit of ingenuity and without any paranormal activity. When you consider concepts such as telekinesis, crop circles, and ghosts, I recommend keeping an open mind, but also being skeptical. If that doesn't make sense to you, consider the following video (the very same one which was stickied in this forum ages ago): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T69TOuqaqXI

agreed though it may interest some of you that there have been studies that show that if we used all of our brain we could perform telekinesis. or at least thats what ive heard

I would love to see a link to the studies you are referring to. It seems somewhat likely to me that you are operating under the common belief that "Humans only use 10% of their brains, imagine how much we could accomplish if we used all of it!" That idea has seeped into a lot of media over the years, including (off the top of my head) Kyle XY, Heroes, and the recent film Limitless. If that's the case, I direct you to this wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_percent_of_brain_myth
This snopes link: http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/10percent.asp
Or this essay on the subject by Bill Nye years ago: http://web.archive.org/web/20080506104856/http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/Features/Columns/?article=BNBrainCapacity

Morsalbus : id love to see you read a full post
i clearly said at the end that thats what ive heard.
in reference to your link wikipedia can be edited by anyone, and an essay by somebody on the internet isnt conclusive or counter evidence.
the 2nd one brings up valid points though.

Wikipedia can be edited by many users, but it also has decent guidelines on having sources. If you go to the bottom of most Wikipedia pages, you will find a multitude of other sources to review at your leisure, and it's very useful for that. I did read your entire post, and all the part where you said "thats what ive heard" just indicates that you are believing secondhand stories about studies that may or not exist, just because you want to believe you can move things with your mind. All three of my sources are reasonably reputable, and here you are trying to invalidate them by yourself rather than providing contrary evidence. If you think whoever you heard about the 10% myth from was more reliable than Bill Nye, than by all means let me know. As a side note, I will also say that one prominent fellow who perpetuated the myth was Uri Geller, whom I referenced in my first post as being an exposed fraud. xD

Morsalbus :
"I would love to see a link to the studies you are referring to." i said thats what ive heard not seen statement makes no sence if you read my whole post because i clearly dont have links.

"and here you are trying to invalidate them by yourself rather than providing contrary evidence."
thats what you always do hypocrit (however you spell it) also if you had bothered to read my whole post (again ) you would see i said the 2nd link had valid points. also i dont recall ever saying i believed the 10% thing.

People say "I heard..." all the time when they really mean that they read it. There's no reason to get bent out of shape because he asked for a source. And if you can't provide a source, then maybe you should question what you heard. In fact, without any real sources to back that up, there's no reason that you should believe it at all. And Mors is certainly not trying to invalidate your claims without evidence. He has provided evidence. You have not. He has done nothing hypocritical. I would like to beg you to be reasonable for a moment, and understand why your claim is so hard to believe. It's not supported by evidence, it has no credible sources, and it's just something that you heard about at some point. That certainly doesn't seem to convincing.

Now as for my belief on telekinesis, I don't think it's real. As soon as someone can provide a legitimate source that shows otherwise, I'll change that. But until then, it's not possible.

I will have to say no. However, in the spirit of open-mindess I will say if you give me proof than I will believe.

I know for a fact that Telekinesis is not real but if it was, I would probably be afraid and happy at the same time....

Possibly. I've seen clips of people "using telekinesis" but I don't believe that that part is true. For one, I believe that it does enhance your brain, but not necessarily to the point in which you move things. If nothing else, it 'd be like predicting the future or something.
