Yes, Cleve Backster proved this back in the late 60's.  Thoughts can
influence experiments significantly.  Also what is believed by the majority
of people to a large extent forms the reality of what is possible.

I think the buckyball thing is very telling.  (I am talking about the
buckminister fullerines).  They had never been seen, and a chemist published
that they should be one of the most stable forms of carbon.  But much
searching turned up nothing.  After many chemists and many experiments, they
finally produced a little of it via a vapor deposition method in a vacuum at
high tempartures.  Well funny thing is that after publishing these results,
then all the chemists suddenly believed that this rare form of carbon
existed, it suddenly started showing up everywhere.  Plain old soot contains
lots of it, but before the chemists believed it existed, soot always tested
negative for it.

It is as if nature completely overlooked this molecule as possible, and once
it realized it should be in the mix for soot, started making it. But it is
even weirder than that, old soot, which initially contained none of it,
started having it as well once the chemists all believed it should be there.

Reality can really be weird sometimes.
