  > Please specify who this 'we' refers to. Millions of people have looked at things that are dangling in the air, and they haven't moved. > There may be no physical "pushing force", but "you all" need to come up with a better explanation I don't need to explain the sense of being stared at if I'm only interested in the perceived pushing force. > People feel stared at all the time. A feeling isn't proof unless you can show that the feeling correlates with actual staring. It's absolutely normal to have false feelings sometimes. Sometimes people feel hot or cold when the temperature hasn't changed. Sometimes people perceive crowds differently based on what mood they're in. We're social creatures and the idea of being looked at can be creepy even when nobody else is in the room, or entire building. Obviously this doesn't disprove anything. But it demonstrates that the mere existence of a feeling isn't proof that something outside your body caused it.
