But salyavin, we've already had some surprises! At least with regards to
gravity. For example, I'm surprised every time I fly in an gigantic airplane
and it doesn't hurtle from the sky! Of course I know there are laws of
aerodynamics at work. But still, I marvel that the Wright brothers and some
other humans, questioned gravity enough to further our knowledge and experience.
As for the story of the non eating holy man, I have one question: why on earth
would anyone make up this story? What could they possibly get from doing so?
Can you not simply accept that maybe we don't know everything there is to know
about humanness?

Steve, I like what you're saying here which is that we don't yet know all the
laws governing gravity. And I think this is a very scientific attitude. I bet
we don't know all the laws about anything yet! Including how human bodies
obtain energy from their surroundings. Which kind of makes the future
fascinating to consider (-:
Sorry you wild wild things, I don't think there will be any surprises from
gravity and metabolism, I think we've got those pretty sussed - at least as far
as floating and not eating for 70 years is concerned LOL.
Happy to be persuaded otherwise by some evidence though.

Sure, what interested me was that the environment seemed to be controlled. I
suppose it could be a case of deception, but I haven't looked into it to see if
there are accusations of that sort. And of course, that can be a somewhat an
easy out. "It seems impossible, so there must be some deception going
on"
The below isn't one of them I'm afraid as there is nothing unusual or contrary
about it other than it appears counter to our expectations drawn from the sort
of things we usually run into. Supercooled helium isn't a day-to-day occurrence
and it isn't defeating gravity in any way. Nor has anything else anyone has
ever come across, apart from anecdotally and what are we to make of that?
Well, that is what I am saying. Right now, the relationship between body and
akasha and the lightness of cotton fiber could not result in levitation because
it would appear to violate the laws of gravity. But if somehow, someone
levitated by utilizing that formula, then we suddenly modify our understanding
of how gravity would work in that situation.

I didn't use the word hogwash, bullshit would be closer to it anyway. This guy
in Australia was caught out, there was no magic going on. I don't know why
people not eating would be a sign of anything great anyway, it's the sort of
thing I'd avoid
in a guru. I like my chips and gravy too much to be impressed by thinness. But
the lure of magic is enough for a lot of people I suppose, it's always
interested me, I'm an eternal optimist but becoming rather sceptical these days.
Wait a second. What does it matter if you think it's silly? That has nothing
to do with it. What has everything to do with it, is that it is, on the
surface, impossible. I did a quick search to try to find some deception about
it. This guy below states, "It's a fraud, because I say it is". He doesn't
cite any obvious deception. His says, "I am a (self proclaimed) authority on
such matters, and I declare it to be a deception"
Has This Man Gone 70 Years Without Eating? UPDATE: Chill Out, Everyone. He
Obviously Has Not.
Has This Man Gone 70 Years Without Eating? UPDATE: ...
Okay, here's a weird one. You may remember the story of Prahlad Jani, an Indian
yogi who claims
that he hasn't ever eaten or had a drink in the last 70 year...

A corrupt study is always a possibility, conversely we shouldn't accept
potentially corrupt information just because the claimed result gives succour
to our cherished beliefs, not if we are interested in truth anyway.
Well, of course! What would being intellectually dishonest get you. Nothing
but delusions.
Having a threshold of credibility is a good plan, it means you have a handy way
of weeding out the bullshit at the start but it shouldn't be so rigid that you
become blinkered. What you need is a good working knowledge about something
before you consider contrary evidence. We can always be wrong but the discovery
of a chakra - whatever that means- in the brain that creates nectar of this
usefulness (or at all) would be a major discovery. Let's hope for the diet
industry's sake if no one elses that this guy has broken the laws of
conservation of energy, as well as a few
others.
I'll bet good money that he hasn't though...
Well, as I said, in case I missed something, nothing came up as evidence of
fraud in this case in the initial google search.
People in general may like KK but she isn't defying the laws of nature, even
though her arse appears to be stretching them sometimes.
I don't care what anyone thinks, and this is not
scientific, but everything seems to be speeding up. Sure, you can say it's all
about technology, and maybe it is. But nothing seems to stay in the news cycle
for more than a few minutes. It happens, and then it's in the rearview mirror.
The silly Kardashians feel compelled to do something titillating or outrageous
every week or so, to stay in the limelight. I hope we can forget about them,
soon as well.
