WHAT DOES PSYCHOKINESIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

psychokinesis

Psychokinesis

Psychokinesis, or telekinesis, is an alleged psychic ability allowing a person to influence a physical system without physical interaction. Psychokinesis and telekinesis are sometimes abbreviated as PK and TK respectively. Examples of psychokinesis could include moving an object and levitation. There is no scientific evidence that psychokinesis is a real phenomenon. PK experiments have historically been criticized for lack of proper controls and repeatability. Furthermore, some experiments have created illusions of PK where none exists, and these illusions depend to an extent on the subject's prior belief in PK.

Definition of psychokinesis in the English dictionary

The definition of psychokinesis in the dictionary is alteration of the state of an object by mental influence alone, without any physical intervention. Other definition of psychokinesis is a state of violent uncontrolled motor activity.
