Yet telepathy is generally considered to be communication without physical interaction.
thus it is relegated to the realm of "imaginary flimsy".
I would contend that it is indeed physical and that it utilities the same mechanism that affords this universe constancy, cohesion and order. The non-scientific inclined refer to this in religious terms [ God, divinity etc] where as the scientist attempts to refer to it in physical terms, [gravity, inertia, etc]
Personally I don't care which is preferred as we are really talking about the same thing but from a different perspective. However the less emotional hubris present in the discussion, the better...
If you want it to be physical in nature then it must surely be replicable.
In a sense all events are unable to be replicated as once they have occurred the time line generates a fresh version of a similar event.
Example: a comet hits Jupiter in 1994 [
Shoemaker - levy 9 ]
The event is and can only be recorded once and is unrepeatable. It is true other comets may suffer a similar fate however the descriptors "similar" and "same" are very different.
So in absolut-um no single event can ever be repeated exactly. [the action of time (perpetual movement) creates infinite diversity]
In the self animated world this situation of non-repeatability is amplified incredibly when compared to that of the "non-animated world"
The events displayed in that dramatized video may never be repeated in a way that science can make predictions upon. This does not negate the existence of those events but merely demonstrates the limitations of the scientific method when dealing with spontaneous, reflexive and instinctive states that are associated with "freewill" or freedom of choice no matter how deep with in our conscious,subconscious or dream states these choices take place.
In fact I would suggest that those events as displayed in the video and others of a similar nature are designed
by their very nature "NOT" to be able to be predicted, for to do so would render them susceptible to control and manipulation. [ and individual personal freedom would be no longer existent to the extent that it is ]
So I guess what I am attempting to say is that science is strictly limited to events that can be repeated in a way that science can make relatively safe predictions upon. Human beings, being self animated and self inspired, are not so easily predicted upon. Of course human choices exist regardless of any scientific methods failure to observe and make solid predictions upon. [Some areas of human behavior are predictable as you know. Society, civilization and rational existence depends on it but as we explore extremes the ability for science to make predictions becomes severely limited]
As science is strictly limited this whole area of human experience is subject to chronic deception, fraud, and self delusion due to the in-ability to apply any predictive rules. WE love to apply predictive rules and so the "fraudster" has a terrific opportunity in this area.
"Care to have your palm read? [ Example: of application of false rules] How about drinking this liquid as a cure for mortality? [again applying predictive rules knowing that most desperate people will believe anything] Have fun in our casino where winning is all that happens!!! [applying the prediction that people love to make predictions ~ strive for certainty]
When Kwhilborn states that his method always works he is both right and wrong IMO depending on what you predetermine as the outcome you seek. As every thing is connected then everything "works" and all it comes down to is utility, function and results predicted and as I have already explained predicting human nature is strictly limited for any one who wished to place the
"scientific hat" on their own assessments of para-normal explorations.
Besides, what he is suggesting is extremely unethical and down right abusive IMO and I am a little puzzled why he fails to see this. [Whether he is right or wrong is irrelevant as the unethical manipulation of someones dream state with out their consent renders any result utterly useless in the mainstream pubic eye as the pubic will automatically seek to discredit any validity as a way of protecting their individual dream states and freedom]
Imagine for a moment that his test proved to be successfully evidenced according to science.
How many "idiots" would immediately be staying up all night trying to screw someone over for revenge, sexual, and other not so pleasant reasons?
How many lives would be destroyed due to someone else s "God complex"?
I am surprised that Kwhilborn does not appreciate the gravity and ramifications of what he is attempting to prove if successful in doing so.
