The Static Electricity Myth in Telekinesis Experiments When people first encounter telekinesis experiments, the explanation almost always seems obvious: static electricity . Charged hands, invisible electric forces, maybe a bit of triboelectricity. It feels intuitive, familiar, and safely within textbook physics. The problem is that, once measurements are introduced, the electrostatic explanation falls apart. This article does not attempt to argue for any particular metaphysical interpretation of telekinesis. Its purpose is much narrower: to document a set of reproducible experimental observations and to show why static electricity, despite being the default intuition, does not account for what is actually measured . What is actually observed Across repeated experiments—both by the author and by other practitioners—a consistent pattern emerges: Practitioners often use their hands, but this appears mainly to help focus attention rather than to provid...
