Telekinesis information

Telekinesis (from Ancient Greek τηλε- 'far off', and -κίνησις 'motion'^[1]) is a hypothetical psychic ability allowing an individual to influence a physical system without physical interaction.^[2]^[3] Experiments to prove the existence of telekinesis have historically been criticized for lack of proper controls and repeatability.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] There is no reliable evidence that telekinesis is a real phenomenon, and the topic is generally regarded as pseudoscience.^[4]^[8]^[9]^[10]
