Is the force real?
I personally consider it a metaphor for our conscience, morals and determination that influences our beliefs and actions and therefore our direction in life and how those around us respond to us.

no, or maybe not know to man
ask yourself this
if there would be a power that humans knew, a power that can literally affect other physical bodies and manipulate them, why was there no such known man? and im not talking in history because you cant prove it but in our modern society
why the fuck did nobody use this power to claim millions of dollars around the globe that are offered to anyone to prove a supernatural power or phenomena of sort
because along with anything else supernatural, the force isnt real or at least we dont know it is/dont know how to control it
>inb4 but energy exists!
study physics before you compare real life energy to fiction force, our life is boring as shit and you should understand that

Kill yourself faggot. One fucking garbage thread after another.

The force as it is in Star Wars? Probably not.
Quantum effects on a macroscopic level could perhaps work like the force. Many magick-fags try to find a basis for their arcane shit in quantum mechanics.

If someone claimed James Randi's prize for exhibiting supernatural powers then they'd get abducted by a government as soon as the news got out. You can't spend your million dollars if you're being held on a secret Army base using your powers to fuck over the Russians.

He didn't claim it was real, he presented a hypothetical and claimed that it more than likely wouldn't turn out so well for the would-be force user.

Not as it appears in Star Wars, but there are aspects to it in religious belief, philosophy, and parapsychology. Whether those things in particular are true really comes down to your own belief, because we don't have much evidence so far, beyond very minimal influence in academic experiments.

Not gonna happen. This isn't a statement on supernatural powers, though - the challenge is just a scam to promote a system of abject skepticism.
There are far better methods to scientifically determine paranormal claims to be true or false, and the JREF are hardly scientists.
By all means, yes, we should have magicians helping to debunk charlatans who use such sleight-of-hand tricks to dupe the believers. But once they start making shit up to explain an experience is where they become useless.
Let's say hypothetically someone just randomly figured out how to use the force. How o you think the government would react? Would they need a permit would the gov like lock them up what would happen?

The government fears the authority of the highest magic practicioner on the third planetoid from Sol.
