Your theme seems to still fall down to what seems kind of possible to average adults rather than children. Adding new forces seems more possible than creating matter out of thin air, but it isn't really.
Which is why I think a good parameter is education/knowledge required to define powers as impossible rather than merely unproven.
Possessing physics breaking powers somehow is incompatible with being insanely effective at hiding it all?

Be that as it may, the real question is not the philosophical question of the possibility of psionics but how to present it in a way compelling to a reader.
