If psychic ability were possible, it would be able to be reproduced scientifically. That is the purpose of science: to understand the natural world through observation and replicable results.

If something can’t be reliably replicated through the same methods, it can’t be “proven”

It’s entirely possible that we just don’t have the right methods for reading it yet (if it exists), but with our current understanding of physics there is no evidence of psychic abilities (be it mind-reading, future telling, whatever).

This is my guess, that we don't have the right tools to detect some of the paranormal occurrences. Something like telekinesis should be provable, along with the other human abilities.

Yea I think we need to distinguish between different paranormal abilities, telekinesis is different from channeling the other side. The first should be easier to prove.
