I could be wrong, but I think you added to this comment since I replied. Since all of my comments on the topic are getting downvoted without explanation I’ll be short.
And there are indeed parapsychologists who claim telekinesis is worth investigating.
But not spoon bending so much. In any case, being concerned about force fields is only worth while if you assume what is going on is a cause and effect, which many, maybe most of the attempts at explanation don’t.
This is really getting away from what Komponisto and I were talking about. I’m not really disputing the claim that parapsychology is a pseudo-science. I’m disputing the claim that Carroll’s analysis shows that the claims of parapsychology are fundamentally ruled out by current physics. I haven’t really thought about delineation issues regarding parapsychology.
