What If Telekinesis Was Real?

What If | December 11, 2025



What if you had the power to control things without touching them? What if you could use your mind for anything from bending spoons to lifting cars, and even stopping bullets right in front of you? What would be the limits to what your brain could do? Since the early days of spiritualism, psychic mediums have claimed to contact the dead. During these sessions, their clients could see objects mysteriously flying across the room. Many people believed what they saw. Only they didn’t see the hidden wires that the mediums used to fool their audience.

    There is a video on youtube where i've seen someone or something do very cool telekinesis, much more than i have seen humans do but, you couldn't see anything. You could only see a girl in a room. First a chair when"t left from her, right and then again left from her and then everyhting ( including tables ) levitated into the air and whent zigzag.The girl when't crazy and something knocked her out. I could see something like a hand or a finger (semi invisible) touching her and then she fell down. Very cute.

    Who ever did this did it with eas you could see and it wans't a poltergeist.This was other wordly.

    I think that telekinesis is possible, after all, according to scientists we humans use only 5-10% of the possible power of our brain, in other words imagine that you were driving a car capable of going 500km/h and you were going barely 50km/h so you would use only 10% of the possible power of the car, and similarly with our brains, for some reason we are not able to use our full potential, but if we could we would probably be able to manipulate reality itself (bend reality, rewrite reality,. ..)

    If I know anything about humans, I know that if psychics are real, they would be in danger (like on X-men) and if just anybody can do it, the powers that be wouldn't want such power in the hands of the masses.

    Telekinesis is real but it depends on what energy you are using it could be mental energy spiritual energy ect. So basically telekinesis can use a lot of your energy that you are using unless if you practice enough and you can actually absorb energy from things because everything has energy! You might get a little at first but you can get more if you practice! (Not everyone has telekinesis)

    Telekinesis is real, it's energy manipulation and we were all born with energy and if we got strong enough energy it can mimic to items like : tinfoil paper, and any other thin items.
