Usually telekinesis appreciate the mystical supernatural power. However, the term "telekinesis" comes from the Greek "kinesis" meaning movement, and "tele" - from a distance.
What attracts an apple fall to the ground? What attracts a compass to show the north? As the sun warms our planet, even if we give the one hundred and fifty million kilometers? Or, as the mobile phone instantly transponuoja our voices to the other point of the globe? No, in all the cases listed in telekinesis really nothing to do.
For a long time people have listed all the things could not explain why. Just knew that it is going on and why - no one could explain. But the nineteenth century. Michael Faraday was born in the (Michael Faraday) and the Scottish youngster James Clark Maxwell (James Clerk Maxwell). Together, these guys have made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of science.
M. Faraday experimenting convinced that electric and magnetic forces are not mystical telekinetic action at a distance, and some still undiscovered physical phenomenon. This phenomenon is called the field. Because it was far from the affected objects.
Inspired by this idea, George. Maxwell grabbed the paper, a pencil and summarized by M. Faraday experiments and feelings on the physical phenomenon. Summed up mathematically. It is proved that the "field" can describe any idea magnetic and electrical phenomena. They are united by the same field - electromagnetic field. In all, each point in space.
According to George. Maxwell, the essential idea of the field is as follows: each point in space is a number that characterizes the point. The number could be as simple (and show the selected point in space temperature), but it may be difficult (indicating wind direction and speed, or the number of atoms in cakes). Write down any number to each point in space of the universe, and you will know what is and what is a field.
This young George. Maxwell realized that every point in space refers not only to the number of atoms, but also the electromagnetic field strength and direction. Mathematical equations that it is all defined, testified that the strength of a point in space near the operating point of the space volume, and these in turn - their own space adjacent points, and so on. tons. All this explains how electricity, static electricity or mobile phone calls may affect the distance without telekinesis.
You can imagine how the electron in its own way "stirs" the box, pushing other electrons. However, the movement of the electron itself, since the field is spread RIBUL (like waves on the surface of the lake). Istaba thing George. Maxwell understood as follows: the RIBUL space travel at the same speed, which is spreading and light. In fact, they are the light. George. Maxwell discovered that light is an electromagnetic wave.
And that's exactly the same wavelength transmit / send the heat from the Sun to the Earth. Or a signal from one cell phone to another. Alternatively, light from light bulbs to the retina of the eye.
So, there was also the "magnetic" Faraday and George. Maxwell explained many phenomena without telekinesis. Moreover, we can say that they poured the foundation for the entire twentieth century. physicists, because today the various "fields" are key concepts in the research, knowing and understanding the universe.
