twins

I'm new here, so sorry in advance if I am doing this wrong. I am working as a therapist with people (womb twin survivors) who say they have some kind of cellular memory of a twin lost before birth. Some have proof of their lost twin and others don't - or cant get hold of it because their mother...

Thought experiment.... Imagine we have two twins or clones. They are genetically identical. Both have lived exactly the same lives up to a point A in time. By 'exactly the same' i mean to say that all external stimuli have been equal for both twins. I know this is not really possible but lets...

Daily Mail in shock skeptic comment. :) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1164135/Teenager-fell-unconscious-bath-saved-twin-sisters-sixth-sense.html

The full article is here. Leaving history aside... let's assume it was Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor, visiting that community and not some other German guy that came to Brazil and chose a town full of fellow Germans. Let's assume the memories aren't false, and that indeed Mengele made...

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=603143 A sane decision. When the birth of a child is considered an unreasonable cost which justifies compensation, the world is a poorer place. And the sexuality of the women involved is not an issue to me.

Consider the extreme case of the "Jim twins." Identical twins Jim Lewis and Jim Springer were only four weeks old when they were separated; each infant was taken in by a different adoptive family. The similarities the twins shared not only amazed one another, but researchers at the University...

Link to the story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7182817.stm Someone in my office has already confidently asserted that this confirms the "proven" psychic link which twins have (sigh)... Still, its an amazing coincidence, and must be devastating for the couple involved :jaw-dropp

There's usually some differences in height and behaviour between identical twins, finger prints always differ as well. So what explains these differences? I recently saw a documentary that mentioned mutations in mitocondria DNA as somehow being responsible, but it didn't go into details. I also...

The twins in this year's Big Brother psychically send images to each other while in different rooms in the house: Watch the whole clip - as well as being hilarious, it's a pretty high success rate for a telepathy test! Should they take the JREF challenge?

From bbc, a story about twins who are identical on their mother's side and fraternal on their father's side. Thought to be unique in all the world. Very cool stuff.

how strange :) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6498215.stm although, if the genetic make-up only came to light due to hermaphrodite qualities, this might mean that there are many more anatomically normal semi-identical twins that have gone undetected through the years.....

Something starnge happened i asked in a astrology forum which of two twins was more extrovert and which lost a son in 2000. all 3 people who tried got it right about both. But the strange thing ws i had given them the wrong tme of birth by mistake. Dont know what to think.:confused:

Hi to give you an idea how difficult it is to test the accuracy of astrology with twins imagine this: One twin wins millions in a lottery ticket. You would expect the other twin to also win millions,but thers only one ticket,so, only one can win:)

Is anybody aware of any investigations into the so-called amazing coincidences of twins reared apart? I'm mainly referring to shared experiences that don't seem dependent on genetic predispositions, such as marrying spouses with identical names, or having children with identical names, etc. (The...
