Telekin

Telekinesis is a term in parapsychology that refers to the supposed ability to move or manipulate objects with the mind, without any physical interaction. It is also sometimes known as psychokinesis.

History

The concept of telekinesis has been around for centuries, with tales of people moving objects with their minds found in folklore and religious texts. However, it wasn't until the late 19th century that the term "telekinesis" was coined by Alexander N. Aksakov, a Russian spiritualist who was interested in psychic phenomena.

Scientific investigation

Despite the widespread belief in telekinesis, there is no scientific evidence to support its existence. Many studies have been conducted, but none have provided conclusive proof. Most scientists consider telekinesis to be pseudoscience, and it is generally not accepted as real by the scientific community.

In popular culture

Telekinesis has been a popular subject in fiction, particularly in science fiction and fantasy literature. It is often depicted in movies, television shows, and video games, where characters with this ability can move objects, control elements, or even manipulate people's minds.
