That is what I've been trying to say throughout this thread. Yes, it is possible to fly. Science just needs to gain a deeper understanding of how energy works. Once, we have cracked it, we will all be flying around like Superman.

If you switch on an electric light, do you have to believe first that the light will come on? No, because science has already solved the problem. Belief doesn't come into it.
What hinges on belief are the EXPERIENCES one has. I don't know if anyone can manifest themselves into a reality where a fundamental force is altered. But there are likely realities where gravity has been resolved and others where it has not. Someone who thinks often on flying may find themselves in such a reality.
