Psychokinesis vs. Telekinesis

By Jaxson

  • Psychokinesis

    Psychokinesis (from Greek ψυχή “mind” and κίνησις “movement”), or telekinesis (from τηλε- “far off” and κίνηση “movement”), is an alleged psychic ability allowing a person to influence a physical system without physical interaction.

    Psychokinesis experiments have historically been criticized for lack of proper controls and repeatability. There is no convincing evidence that psychokinesis is a real phenomenon, and the topic is generally regarded as pseudoscience.
