Split Thread Scorpion's Spiritualism

[Daylightstar]

... I used to auto-hypnotise myself and win money in bar bets doing a similar trick

With a very, very sharp knife?

Why does this need repeating? Read slowly.

You cannot prove a negative, it is up to you to prove the positive statement.

For example just try to disprove that i own a magical sword that busts onto flame at my command, just try.

Do you have a utube of your magical sword? I wanna see it.

actually i used pins and nails--some of which were pretty gnarly, which is why i dont mess with such silly things anymore

You wouldn't have if you didn't die for a few minutes then come back to life

I can't wait for you to tell us how you know this.

Just so you can ridicule? It does say above that this forum is for the discussion of the paranormal as well as other subjects.

Discuss away then.

How do you know what it's like to die and then come back to life?

But some posters ask why I am on here.

Well perhaps you should tell them. All I wanted to know about was this being dead thing.

Apparently being dead isn't as permanent as it once was.

No sadly it doesn't show up on camera for some reason.

I'm guessing it is due to the same magic that let's it do what it does, but it WA never completely explained to me.

(whether you are legit or having a laugh, please keep going for the education of all, it would be appreciated. )

Yes, I've had a few surgical procedures lately and I tried to determine when I went out but it was always just like turning off a light, now if we are more than our bodies why does the anesthesia work?

Because its working on the flesh/brain and not on the soul

That's actually correct, although I'll bet it's not for the reason you think it is.

When the heart stops and the soul leaves the body

When someone has a heart transplant, which soul do they end up with?

 

[Akhenaten]

Apparently being dead isn't as permanent as it once was.

According to one expert, there are degrees of deadness:

"And she's not only merely dead, she's really, most sincerely dead!"

Man, Art College was a blast. Dude.

 

[Nay_Sayer]

This.

Scorpion, i think you are misunderstandiing, that equation is a statement of equivalence/conservation, not conversion. The 'm' in the equation is mass, not matter. matter 'converted to' energy will still conserve mass. Matter is an object; mass is a property You cannot compare the two things, it is like comparing apples to oranges.

Well I heard Steven Hawkins had said that he has a new equation that shows all matter can be converted back into energy. I even e-mailed his web site asking for a copy of it. But one of his assistants wrote back saying the only equation he knew of was e=mxc2 so I assumed that Hawkins had transposed that equation. But maybe he has a whole new one.

Or maybe you should have asked Stephen Hawking.

I did, but his assistants do all his typing. What with him being paralyzed.

 

[Pixel42]

I did

Then why did you say you'd asked Stephen Hawkins?

Neeyyrrooww...

I did, but he does not (cannot) answer his own e-mails.

 

[Donn]

The common* explanation of e=mc^2 is that matter and energy are the same and can be converted back and forth.

It's only in places like this forum and a few blogs that I have learned it's not that simple — not that I have a cooking clue what it does mean!


* Man in the street, non-science education.

For God's sake! The man's name is Hawking. Not Hawkins. Hawking.

 

[Donn]

Scorpion, slow down and actually read what others are typing.

Hawkins is not equal to Hawking.


Maybe if you read more closely, you would get more value from what we are taking the effort to say.
