Time is a Perception!! You are always 'moving through it' because it is physically impossible for you to stop transfering energy! Time IS the transfer of energy. That's it. If you take a step backwards, the energy is not going back into, you are still outputting it. When you put on the blanket, the energy going back into you is still going forward. You cannot reverse time because it does not exist. It would still only be a perception. From a perception, yes you can reverse time. But are you really reversing anything? No! It's a perception!!!

Again and again, an urban myth is brought up in defense of "psychics".

QUOTE
A common myth is that human beings only use ten percent of our brains. This is false; we use our entire brains. The myth likely had its source in an advertisement or a misunderstanding of neurological research in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Some psychics help to prolong this myth by asserting that the "unused" ninety percent of the human brain is capable of exhibiting psychic powers, and can be trained to perform psychokinesis and extra-sensory perception. A less literal interpretation of the statement is, however, valid. It can be reasonably claimed that most people only use a very small fraction of the cognitive potential of their brain, even though all individual brain neurons are busily working. Various cultural inventions enable humans to better utilise their cognitive potential, such as reading, education, solving puzzles, critical thinking, etc.

You can go to the bibliography at the bottom of the page and read all the sources of my source. You can even go to those sources and check their sources (should they have them). The thing is, medical science is behind me, urban legands are behind these psychics. We use 100% of our brain, there is no hidden parts to our brain being left unused. Another part of the wikipedia article:

QUOTE
Myth: Humans use only 10% or 1% of their brain. Though the brain still holds mysteries that are being studied, every part of the brain is known to have a function. A possible origin of this myth is the fact that only about 10% of the neurons in the brain are firing at any given time. However, if all of your neurons began firing at once, you would not become smarter, but instead suffer an epileptic seizure. In fact studies have shown that the brains of more intelligent people are less active than the brains of less intelligent people, when working on the same problems.

That's the first time i think that's ever been said on SEN tongue.gif


Anyway, back on topic.

I agree that the 10% thing is a load of BS, but what if some people realize to do things that others cant? Not all people can play chess, even fewer can play it well, what if this is a similar thing?

Looks like we were both right if this site is true.

Alltho you do use 100% of your brain you only use 10% based on that site

Would you post another site with that same information about using 100%?

There's this psychic who can apparently 'change time' in his vicinity. He can make it go slower or faster, dunno if it's just perception or even a hoax. I take a grand skepticism on these things.

Thats a very sexy power! well if he changes time in his vicinity they should sincranize 2 clocks one in the room that hes in and one a couple miles away. Then if one clock is differnt from the other we go OH MY GOD ITS REAL! ... or he could of just tinkered with the clock.

No! . . . . . . . . . . . .


While it is true some people have been able to predict/recount/find things, i see nothing more than people who have been given help from demonic sources, humans themselfs have no ability for psyhic powers, there is no part of the brain that will allow us to affect matter, time, or any other relative interpretation of the word we live in.

Humans are what we are, only able to affect solid matter, and even then only to a certain degree without mechanical assistance.

I see no time in human history when people will be able to affect matter with their minds, as it is just not possible.


To Wilhelm

You took Wikipedia very literally, while it may be true that 100% of our brain may be active, we can only use a very limited ammount of what our brain is capable of.

Why do you think some people can grasp things faster, while others cant?, some people can remember things that happend years ago very vividly, while others cant remember last night meal.

That being said, it's proof that humans are not capable of Psychic powers, as no part of our brain has been labaled, the psychic controll center.

While scientists have not been able to even come close to comprehending the human brain, they do know what parts controll what functions, and what parts facilitate certain actions such as learning, and the application of known data.

They just think slower, it doesn't mean they don't use every part of their brain at some time or another.

Did you not read what i said? ermm.gif .

I agreed with the fact that every humans uses 100% of their brain, just that some people are well, dumber.

Lets use computer technology as a analogy.

Some people have 1024 ram while otherd only have 512.

Some people have word, others have text edit.

Some peoples storage ( or their short and long term memory ) is very good, and data stays complete, while other people have bad storage, things get corrupted.

. . And as far as i belive, there is no program that can be installed called, PsychicPowers.exe .

Lol im a twin... only once or twice i know what my twin is thinking, but very rarely. So i would have to say the phychics are semi possible, but i highly doubt it. im pretty much just guessing when i know what my sister is thinking, it isnt like i can now think, that shes thinking, wait. incoming message "you stupid cereal i should eat you! and i think i will."

Well im talking about identical twins... im guessing your a guy so that is a differnt type of twin(im sorry if your a girl) yeah... when i see twins and they like know what each other is thinking... its really freaky

Also did you guys hear about the psychic power called remote viewing? its tapping into anothers vision. i watched a history channel program on it.

Also knowns as Clairvoyance.

Technically, I can do that.
I simply look at their surroundings, and change my viewpoint to theirs. It's very easy, no phycic stuff involved. It's just the use of the imagination.

That isn't Clairvoyance.

Clairvoyance is where you see things ahead of time I think.

No. That would be divination, clairvoyance is remote viewing.
