There is no reliable evidence that telekinesis is a real phenomenon, and the topic is generally regarded as pseudoscience.

Reception

Evaluation

There is a broad scientific consensus that telekinetic research has not produced a reliable demonstration of the phenomenon.

A panel commissioned in 1988 by the United States National Research Council to study paranormal claims concluded that:

despite a 130-year record of scientific research on such matters, our committee could find no scientific justification for the existence of phenomena such as extrasensory perception, mental telepathy or "mind over matter" exercises... Evaluation of a large body of the best available evidence simply does not support the contention that these phenomena exist.
