/sci/ - Science & Math

Hey, /sci/. I have a scientific hypothesis about a subject that would normally be discussed in /x/, that is Telekinesis. I have heard countless explanations on how telekinesis would work, mostly involving quantum mechanics and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and some other bullshit. However when I was in high school I came up with an idea for how telekinesis worked that involved one of the four fundamental forces in physics: electromagnetism.

It works like this. Try pressing your hand against a table. Notice your hand did not move past the table? This is because the electrons orbiting the atoms that make up your body are producing an electromagnetic field that repels the electromagnetic field generated by the electrons in the atom of that table much like how magnets repel each other when you try to force the identical poles together. That said, these forces are in play when you use your hand to exert force on a solid object like say a cardboard box. So in other words, electromagnetism is necessary in order for an individual to physically affect the world around them. Hell, it's the very thing that is keeping gravity from pulling you through the ground towards the Earth's core.

Based on this, my hypothesis is that Telekinesis is simply this same electromagnetic force, except projected over a distance like radio waves (which are also electromagnetic waves). What I want to know is, is there any validity to this hypothesis?
