TED-Ed: Is telekinesis real? - Emma Bryce

The video explores the concept of telekinesis, often depicted in fiction, and examines its scientific validity. Despite numerous anecdotes and claims, no scientific proof supports telekinesis. The video discusses the challenges in measuring telekinesis and the lack of consensus on its mechanisms. It highlights the importance of scientific evidence and replication, noting that telekinesis contradicts established physics laws. The closest scientific analogy is using brain signals to control robotic arms, but this is not telekinesis. Ultimately, the video concludes that telekinesis remains unproven and is more a matter of personal belief.
