Nonsense. There are thousands of experiments studying, in one way or another, how thoughts or beliefs or intentions in themselves affect some aspect of reality. I have listed many before.
The experiments have related to children's IQ; rate of healing of broken bones; results of a random event generator; changes in muscular strength in participants visualising gym workouts; experiments with hypnosis in pain control; behavioural finance studies; distance healing experiments; ability of thoughts to alter the molecular structure of water; placebo effect on patients taking dummy pills; ability of meditators to alter the lifespan and development rate of fruit fly larvae etc etc.
The list goes on and on.
