Speculations

Has anyone ever heard of "cold-reading" techniques employed by "psychics" to "help" people (my quotation mark liscence is being revoked) talk to their dead relatives? It's a laughably simple way of making the victim of your hoax seem you are a genuine psychic. Through a series of rapid fire random guesses, shotgunning stuff like names and initials and using the victim's body language you can make it seem as though you really are (to the bereaved or gullible anyway) talking to and getting info from their dead loved one. It sickens me that people are still actually duped by these "sleight of mouth" tricks. It especially annoys me when it is someone I know going on about how…

Hello everyone . This is my first post on a forum , The reason for it is simple . I SUCK AT MATH ... its sad . now ! I have a design for a pm machine that will work at 128% efficiency However there are manny Manny reasions that knowone has invented a working machine yet . mainly People have never asked the right questions to themselvs . Unfortunatly for me I am to stupid to be able to answer my own questions . im gona need help . Question #1. If you have 10 pounds FALLING at 10 Mph how can you use that force to move up 1 pound UP at 100 Mph.

Uh lets have a fun "debate". Assuming it is possible for telekinesis and telepathy to exist, which would come first evolutionarily? Would the evolution of the first eventually lead to the second evolving? Is the first a necessary prerequisite (a question similar to the one before but slightly different). Just to be clear telepathy = talking using mental powers telekinesis = moving stuff with your mind and just for fun we can add a few more psychic powers such as firestarting (there was a term I just forgot) or future-sight. I hope this is in the right forum, not sure if it belongs in parascience, but I think it has more to do with evolution.

"A method and apparatus for destroying blood borne pathogens is disclosed which utilizes a low intensity direct current to generate positive particles from various metals which destroy viral pathogens. A first electrode comprised of a metal such as silver is inserted into a patient's venous system. Then, a second electrode is placed on the patient's exterior in the vicinity of the first electrode. A low intensity direct current is applied to the first metal electrode which releases silver cations to be bonded to the virus, resulting in the denaturing of the virus. The first electrode is placed in the venous system of the infected patient via a catheter". Dear Sirs…

with all the particle physicians smashing atoms into bits to try to find different particles which would perhaps explain different physical phenomena.. would it be possible that there exists a sort of "particle" which drives life? has anybody ever tried smashing a few cultures of bacteria to see if anything unexcpected comes out?

There's a ton of people who go to this site. Can anyone control their psychic abilities, enhanced senses, etc? If you can, want to share how? Any tips on how to become psychokinetic?

Talking about ghosts I went fishing to a lake and when I finish fishing it was at dusk and while walking to my car I was so scared. Somebody advised me to go back there and take pictures and I did went back. The pictures are amazing with many anomalies in each of the pics. I am posting one of those pics for you to analize and I have named this pick "tomcat" since you can see the face of some animal in it. I circle a few of the anomalies in it and there are more you can point in your replies if you wish, Regards chajazo

A dumb title question lol, but if we have been observed by a alien race for whatever reason I think they would show great intrest in our media culture and might even be fans to some of our entertainment from however long they have been watching we have been doin interesting things just for entertainment. I cant say anything about something I dont know (E.T) but I will state what I think and I cant see a advanced lifeform that wouldnt find Seinfeld funny lol. They might find it to be irrelevant but I dont think so because it is a major part of us and to study it would healp them learn more of us and I hope they are gettin clear free earth cable lol cause I aint lol.

has anyone heard of the "Philadelphia experiment" where: http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq21-1.htm i just saw a link to this from another site and a Google search on "Philadelphia Experiment" brings up plenty of very specific sites... so this doesnt look like a minor hoax, more a major hoax. i dont see how it could possibly be possible (esp. considering the technology of those days) so is this all just a big hoax? i assume so - but if so, why has it become seemingly almost legendary?

Dear Community, this is a sincere and objective request in order to really try and find out what is going on in the world and hopefully others will then be able to agree upon the findings and results. I will supply some facts here, major historical dates, and I am asking for a scientific and mathematical approach to deducing the most accurate range of probabilities to contend that these happenings are simply not precipitated from some wild "theory" or extraordinary "coincidence". Is that clear enough for everyone to understand this request? I hope so. For the sake of this analysis, please ignore the noted reference to prophecy in the document as many minds…

I am a person who believes death means death, the end of your life means u are no more and u only were. How can a being who was non-existent before birth exist after death for infinity, we live a short while and we die. I am not pleased by this but I cannot see a logical way I would exist as myself for a period of time so great numbers could not even measure it. The only hope I have in being completely wrong is I cant begin to explain why I am here and if that reason is something I am not understanding now, that would be fine. I am only one person with one view I would like to see what others think about this reality we will all face. Can it be logical to live forever?

NASA O'Keefe to resign! Hopefully, the new boss will kick the NASA science team morons out, and we will smell fowers !!!!!! Mars is selebrating But, he is going to become University Pres!

Hey All, this is my first post here as a newbie. Not much of a scince buff but I wonder if any of you guys know anything about this.Please allow me to insert a lengthy quote well worth reading. "It is logical that Nature has a memory; one day this will be demonstrated. Scientific research has already started; soon the sounding waves will be rearranged into images which will be perceptible on certain screens. Certain technical experiments about this matter already exist, then the tele-viewers of the whole world will see the origin of the human being, the history of the earth andof its root races. When that day arrives (a day that is not so distant), the Anti…

I saw this on Unsolved Mysteries. A woman claims to be someone else. An unrelated man claims to be someone else. They claim to have swapped souls with someone else. They change their names. Interestingly, when I saw it, I thought to myself this is what happened a few years back. I became someone else. *It may be attributed to my having more than 5 different names when I was a kid. Assume that this isn't a false claim. What psychological term or idea is this called if someone believes they're someone else? Has this happened to you?

Alien-ated Youth They're the next step in human evolution. But they're just like everybody else. At first glance, they look like perfectly ordinary first-graders scribbling feverishly on the blackboard, but there is something striking about the boy's deep blue eyes that suggests a maturity well beyond his years. Jake's in advanced classes and already reading at a third-grade level. Jan is the quiet one, but has a presence that immediately draws attention. Her predilection is toward art, though at the moment she is choosing to write math equations on the board, erasing them as soon as she's completed each of her computations. Jake's mother is a teacher at this…

I didn't really know where to put this post in the forum. I decided it probally mostly fitted in here. I have a box, inside is truely a vacumm does inside the box exist?? Obviously you can see inside the box let if there is nothing in the box can a nothingness be an existance. In affect if nothing is an existance then nothing can end because it can't be surrounded by nothing if nothing is an existance. I know this is terribly worded, but your thoughts please.

One of the more weirdest theories in science, the hollow earth theory has to be my favorite. History: Now, I ask all of you, whether you think this theory is possible (and if so, how likely) in the realm of other worlds? I'm entirely sure that the Earth is very thick with stuff in the middle.

Science is a system of arbitrary symbols and interactions dependent on a mind interacting with the universe. Imagine a mind A, having a completely different cognitive organization (memory, emotions, sense organs, thought processes) etc. This mind would interact with reality according to a completely different set of rules from our science, but as such it would always be completely coherent and valid for mind A. Thus a completely different and new science would be valid for mind A. Therefore changining mind structures you can create an infinite number of different sciences. This came up when analyzing what would happen if we started to modify how our neurons…

I`m putting this idea in here as it`s only half formulated and I might be totaly wrong! that however is NOT an excuse for anyone to posts about aliens or god and sh!t ! so here goes... I was considering Dimensions, 2d can be represented on paper as a + sign. it has length and width X and Y axis. in 3D a Z axis is needed for height, so it`s like the + with a line running through the center making a full 720 degrees of space. now then, for anything wishing to interset all of these coords simultaniously step by step, picture this the + with line trough the center is placed in a square box, each of the boxes 6 faces has one end of a line in the middle of it. …

Beware SETI (Search for extraterrestrial intelligence) researchers. Advanced civilizations may be undetectable. Such a civilization would learn how to modify their neural circuits, therefore changing all their mind structures. How information is organized, processed etc may be changed arbitrarily. This may create artificial emotions, sentiments mind states, superconsciousness etc. This internal universe may end up being mind boggling complex and interesting. The combinations are huge, each neuron may be a particle accelerator, chip, virtual reality etc. They would no longer communicate with the outside universe because they would be too busy exp…

I have an idea as to why these exist, but I'd like to hear some other ideas first to see what sort of different attitudes people have towards the phenomenon. How are crop circles made? Do they have any meaning? Discuss.

Kay, i'm putting this here because it's simply totally based on my curiosity, and has no practical application that I'll ever be part of, if any exist... so, if there was a pipeline that carried high pressure liquid oxygen, and it ruptured spewing the substance into the air (say it's about 88 degrees f. outside) would the liqid O2 revert to gas instantly, or would it remain liquid for a little while? If you were in the way and got splashed with it, would you be "wet" with it for a few seconds, or would it just be like getting hit with deadly-cold vapor? I guess to narrow it down, if you took a glass of liquid O2 out of your superfridge, for how long would it still…

I have tried this myself and it works great but i was just wondering EXACTLY how it works, i have googled but cant find any good info on it, if somebody with a physics background could give some insight into this phenomena it would be great.
