Physics of Short-Range Telekinesis: A Thought Experiment

This report explores the hypothetical phenomenon of micro-psychokinesis (micro-PK), a short-range interaction between a human hand and a light object, by systematically evaluating potential explanatory mechanisms within established physics. It begins by triaging the four fundamental forces of nature, quickly ruling out the strong, weak, and gravitational forces due to their inappropriate ranges or insufficient strengths for millimeter-scale interaction, leaving electromagnetism as the sole viable fundamental candidate. The analysis then investigates various classical and quantum phenomena, ranking their plausibility based on physical coherence, biological feasibility, and the potential for controlled force generation. While thermal convection is identified as the most plausible existing effect, it lacks the required precise control, and highly speculative electromagnetic near-field interactions are considered the most coherent theoretical explanation, despite lacking biological evidence. The report ultimately concludes that any controlled micro-PK would necessitate undiscovered biological capabilities.
