O.T. .::THE SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY THREAD::.

I don't know if I'd try it.. it's interesting though. I wish there was a way to trip without actually putting anything into your body.

You can but you would have to stay up a couple of days since DMT is released in your sleep and untill your body starts to overflow with DMT and releases while you are still up.

I have to look up the entire thing, but there's a way to trip with a split ping pong ball, a red light bulb and white noise...shut your senses off long enough and your mind goes all acid trip.

Edit: Found it...
You are going to need three things: a ping-pong ball, a radio with headphones and a red light.

Step 1: Turn the radio to a station with just white noise (static), and put on your headphones.

Step 2: Cut the ping-pong ball in half and tape each half over your eyes.

Step 3: Turn the red light so it's facing your eyes.

Step 4: Sit there for at least a half an hour.

Step 5: Follow Ben Franklin and your new friend, Harold the unicorn, into the gumdrop forest, and live happily ever after.

They're about as hard to purchase as going to amazon.com and searching red light.

But yeah thats crazy if that worked.And whoever came up with that had alot of free time on there hands.

German scientists seeking ESP in test subjects...haha...MK Ultra type stuff.

Why the heck do the same people who go off and think that Jesus is a myth on here, and not real, and tied to Sun worship, are going off thinking that 2012 is going to happen, is real and "bad things man" are coming down? Is it the normal version of metaphysics and spirituality are borning, and there is a need to find other expressions?

This looks like a desire to be contrarian for its own sake.

You seem to have a problem with a differing of perspective. Just because people don't hold the same beliefs or thoughts that you do doesn't make them a contrarian.

Basically...duke sounds like a politician at times. Let's just talk Alan Wake and have some fun in this thread geez.

Let's shift gears.. in the topic of science:

What scientific advancements/inventions do you see in the next:

5 years?
10 years?
50 years?
100 years?

Lasers and invisabilty and time traval all have been invented already.

Thats impossible is the name of the show on the History channal had a show on each one.

That list is crazy cool,getting 2 hours sleep and have your body feel like you have had 10 hours,that could come in handy.

[be reasonable]

laser guns exist but are not practical. consume far to much energy
Time travel has not been discovered. it's a theory that Michio Kaku supports as possible
invisibilty is being researched. but all it does is bend light it doesn't really make anything invisible

I believe I actually saw this performed on a show called paranormal state on A&E channel where some kind of malevolent being was terrifying some family and the researcher wanted to make personal contact with it

Laser's do exist and are very powerfull and practical.

All so Eienstein invented time travel during WWII and was used in the Philldelphia experiment.To many witnesses to be a conspiracy which our goverment is telling us.Also it is said that Tesla invented a time traval device.He also invented a device that could knock down the Empire state building and device is handheld and uses sound.

And when I watched the program invisibilty is very close to being released.

Every thing I said could be watched at the History channal website.The time travel was program about Phillidelpia experiment and the Tesla one was a documentry of his life.

I admit the time traval is a little far fetched and hard to believe and Im not saying I believe it my self.

Everthing else could be watched on a series called thats impossible.

I have issue with people who are inconsistent because it is convenient to them, or amuses them to be so, in areas that are important. I can understand that people not believe certain things, but then to go out even further on a limb, is what I have an issue with. When you do that, you are merely grasping and what you personally like, rather than be concerned for truth.

Here, watch some Penn and Teller on 2012:

I was speaking of laser guns, not lasers as in the ones we use in eye surgeries amongst other things.

The philidelphia experiment is a conspiracy theory. Their is no direct evidence of it ever occurring and it is widely regarded as a hoax. Not every thing shown on the history channel is actual history or even factual they give alot of programs based on scientific theory and you guessed it conspiracy theories.

star wars tech - scientific theory
nostradamus effect - conspiracy theory
monster quest - science fiction
that's impossible- both practical and theoretical
pawn stars - one of the best shows on tv
ancient explorers - conspiracy theory


You contradicted yourself on time travel. you present it as factual and then you say it's far fetched. either you believe it or not. Ahhh no biggie with all the information we are bombarded with everyday confusion on whats real or not is bound set in.

First off I know everything on the History channel isnt true.and understand the Philly exp. is a conspiarcy theory and your right I did contradict myself.Do I believe I dont know but believe its possible.

And the lasers Im talking about are powerfull enough to shoot a missiles out of the sky.They didnt talk about it on the show the demostrated it on thats impossible.Also had a huge laser on the tip of a large aircraft and battleships and I do realize they are prototypes,and they where pretty impressive.

I would want nothing more then them all to be wrong believe that.

The interesting question is why people tend to seize on prophecies of doom, and especially far out stuff like the 2012 madness - which as Rich pointed out, really is the successor to the 2000 madness. My background and orientation is that of the human potential movement, so my initial focus tends to be internal rather than external (as in, what leads me or someone else to become fascinated by certain concepts or beliefs, especially once one realizes that people have been fearing the 'end-times' at least as far back as the era of the New Testament!)

I'm not at all opposed to an examination of natural cycles. It's one of the things I do in my own work. My twenty-five years in/around the human potential movements demonstrate to me that these remain extremely relevant indicators of broad potentialities in human civilizations. What I don't get is why the nuttiest, most-extreme, most-fear-base interpretations are the ones that certain people tend to cling to or become obsessed with.
