I Can Control my Persona's

i can

sorta . It's quite Difficult

 

[Dawns Gate]

I can tilt my eyes really far opposite to each other and then everything turns purple

A friend of mine have that 'anomaly' as well

I thought she was full of it, until we had a nachspiel at my place with a bunch of people. I asked her to come over to my computer to pick some tunes and she said 'It'll freak out! They always do!' I laughed and told her to come over anyways - when she was 3-4 feet away from the box, bluescreen! I spent 15 minutes fixing the bootsectors, cursing her wiccan ways..

Well people with strange electrical patterns in their bodies creating magnetic fields and what-not are not unheard of, so it could be that. I can imagine how a magnetic field would screw up electronics.

Oh, good. I think I heard before that other cases exist, but not getting instantly dismissed as a crazy idiot is nice.

Thanks, anyways. Wish there was a way around it, it's really quite annoying. At least my case isn't nearly as severe as what Barash mentioned. Worst mutant superpower ever, in any case.

Heh, I can never prove that I have luck powers. It has no form or substance, and a good life hardly proves that luck is a skill I possess. It is not frustrating, though. How can it? I'm lucky.

I can imagine 7 dimensions.
This one is very hard to prove.
It also makes my brain hurt.

I absolutely loved this comment to death, made me grin from ear to ear and giggle. Can't be arsed to explain why, but I felt like I needed to show my appreciation for the brief happiness you gave me lol.

I have control over my nostrils as in make the nostrils bigger (inflant). Apperantly the people who I have encounter can't do that.

I can do that too; though now that you mention it, I've never seen anyone else do it, or thought to ask if they could. So for all I know, this could be an insanely rare ability.

Apart from that, nothing really.

Well, I used to be able to put my feet behind my head; no-one believed me until I showed them, but it's been a few years and I doubt I could pull it off nowadays.

I'm also in the flaring nostrils club. Is there a club? If not, wanna make one?

Us nostril flarers are not to be messed with, indeed there should be a club

I agree. This club must be made so we as superior humans can discuss our superiority.

 

[Raddra]

If I burn myself / Scald myself, I can focus for about a second and make the heat / pain vanish. It feels like i'm 'pushing it out' and the spot feels cool again instantly. Its really weird and I've been doing it by habit since I was a kid. Not saying I can reverse the damage.. I can just.. block out the pain.

 

[GamerPhate]

Nice troll attempt, and I welcome people that are hesitant to believe any of this. As far as REAL scientists, they all think Tachyons are still Sci-Fi related, so therefor, everything they say about it is all hypothetical. Like I mentioend before, they still don't have machines small enough to capture these particles to measure them. The only way we can even start to question their existance, is the effect they have on living material. Therefore, I can give you a list of tests you could try on your own if you had a cell to try to prove that they don't exist. In fact, I NEED research from a skeptic to TRY to prove me wrong. Every time I have done a test, or researched another persons's results, they all give nearly identical results.

I' will briefly recap an example. Take a rose bush, pluck two flowers with stems off of the bush, this way you have two identical test subjects. Next, we take normal tap water and then we take some tachyonized tap water, and basically put one of each type with each of the plants. The plant with normal tap water dies like they normally do, and in just 2 to 3 days is wilting over near death. The flower in the Tachyonized water lives to be 7 to 9 days on average. That is nearly 3 times the length of life in the death stages. But evertime I see this test, its always the same. If you did this test too, and saw the results, you would be baffled like I was. Then you start to realise that maybe there is something to this. But again, that is why I test, do research, and seek others intersted in doing their own tests. I need data from various sources, and the only way to get it is to find the open minded people that haven't already closed their mind and think they know how the world works. But at the same time, I must have that level of skeptisism there so that when the test is concluded, there will still be some level of doubt. That is good! In fact, I WISH I could prove that they didn't exist, if I could do that, I could give up on this whole thing, and not worry about it. But the fact that I can not find a failed test so fair only makes it worse for me, as each time I gather results, it becomes harder to disprove that they have an effect. Seriously, I NEED someone to disprove me with tests, so I can wash my hands of this whole thing. But again, the more I try to disprove they exist, the more I do the opposite.

I have no doubt that the crystals have an effect. However, I am sceptical about the effect being a result from tachyons. If I had one of those crystals, I'd instantly smash it to pieces and start feeding it through every bit of analytical instrumentation kit I have access to (and that includes an SS-NMR machine).

Tachyons are subatomic/quantum particles that travel at or faster than light. Are we agreed? Thus far, physicists know of no particle with mass that can travel faster than light in undistorted space. Even without mass, tachyons cannot interact with matter in 'real'-space due to lacking frequency. Any and all interactions they have with constituents of undistorted space is energetic.

However, this isn't the half of the problem I have. The main issue I take is producing tachyons, and from what you say, effectively an indefinite source of them. Theoretical physicists thus give this question to materials scientists, who are grounded in the three dimensions that we know and love, with all space-time relationships as hunky-dory because they know nothing they handle anything that moves particularly fast. With these prerequisites, I find it difficult to believe that they can manufacture something that can emit particles that don't exist in our three dimensions, and in potentially any number of different time-frames. Manufacturing, activation, predicting behaviour and control of such an artefact is (I believe) impossible for us, with current technology. *shrug*

That the manufacturers maintained the operation mechanism as a trade secret and felt the need to trademark the word 'Trachyonization', you'll forgive me if that leaves me feeling dubious.

As far as reverse engineering the cells, it would take nano tech to do. And really, they are such a simple device, breaking it into peices would yield nothing. It is siliconized glass arranged in a specifical molecular arrangement, so breaking it wouldn't be handy unless I could re-fabricate the process. You couldn't see the arrangement with a microscope anyways, need something more precise. But yes, I am highly skeptical about these products, but the results that they yield and unexplainable otherwise.

You did do some research, but you need to look up what an SOEF field is first. As far as these emitting particles, that isn't really the case. They are more like a funnel or antenna that directs and concentrates the already existing Tachyon energy that is constantly bombarding us from space 24/7. You are getting Tachoyons constantly, but in small doses, and their effects are diminished due to the level of EMF emmitted by modern day electronics. The cells condense the Tachyons into such a focal point that they can push through these EMF fields and even repel them.

 

[Idsertian]

I can crack my ears and flare my nostrils, as a few others here have mentioned. The cracking ears thing is very recent however, and I think it may be indicative of some other underlying condition, as it can be somewhat painful to perform, but gets uncomfortable if I don't. Occasionally I get flares of pain around my ears and jaw hinge because of this too, like something is just slightly out of whack. I also have the ability to swallow air and belch at will since I was a kid, something that amazes my dad as he can't do it.

There is also another ability I have, or rather had, as it's quite difficult to perform now that I've gained a bit of weight and I'm not as limber as I was at 15. It involves a certain part of my anatomy being introduced to another part of my anatomy further up and is the result of a lot of awkward positioning, bending and placement of supportive cushioning. Also kills my back something fierce if I'm not careful. Kinda worth it though.

 

[sluggyfreelancer]

It's amusing how many people are using this thread to wave around their autistic, supposedly-psychic, e-peens around

This. So much this.

A lot of these 'powers' border on the outright absurd.

 

[Raognerrrm]

I can imagine 7 dimensions.
This one is very hard to prove.
It also makes my brain hurt.

The 7th dimension according to which theory?
Quite an amazing feat, considering we've not been able to confirm the existence of more than 3 spatial dimensions plus time as the fourth.

I can imagine 7 dimensions.
This one is very hard to prove.
It also makes my brain hurt.

Do tell what dimension 5,6 and 7 is. Or atleast 5.

Dunno what theory, but:
0d: a dot.
1d: a line.
2d: a square.
3d: a cube.
4d: a tesseract.
5-7d: continuing in the same way
It ends up being the same if you make the current dimension being the same as the cross section of the next one.
So they're all spatial dimensions.
And, can't we imagine stuff that doesn't exist? For example, if I were to imagine a flying slipper that speaks Russian, it still wouldn't exist. It's the same with 7d; only with a few more dimensions on the slipper.

Totaly different thing. Imagining the dimensions, that we have no idea if they even exist, we don't know what they would really look like (depending on what theory you use, like this guy said)Try imagining a color you have never seen, which can't be made by combining the 7 existing colors, that is the best comparison to what he means by imagining 7 dimensions that don't even for certain exist

The point is that they are being IMAGINED. Whatever is inside my imagination does not always follow the rules of the universe. Seeing as this is a spatially 3d world, these dimensions that I am imagining don't exist, but that doesn't stop me imagining them.
I should have made it clearer from the start by saying something like 'I can imagine 7 dimensional objects' to avoid the confusion that has ensued about whether these 'dimensions' are spatial or not.

 

[unindexedsearchengine]

I can "delete" memories at will (how the hell can one prove that?)

So you have no problem looking at Google images without the safe search on?

I'd still rather not risk it....

 

[Fishehh]

I can actively remember my baby years, birth and even some time in the womb. It's just fragments though. Of course nobody believes that because I can just make memories up since nobody really knows what goes on in a baby's head.

That's just from hearing the stories about them, even as a baby anyone speaking about the complications could have possibly been imprinted in memory, but not as true memories because it is impossible to remember things from inside the womb, your brain wasn't functioning like that until you're like 3 months old or something like that.


OT: I can drink a gallon of milk in 1 minute, 39 seconds, but no one wants to prove this because they won't buy a gallon of milk to see me do it..

Heh, meet super string theory.

I held 2 cells and drank some normal bottled water that I had tachyonized for a few hours.

How, exactly, do you go about 'tachyonising' a bottle of water? Because I doubt it's very healthy for you, that high you're feeling may just be radiation poisoning.

Tachyon particles are SOOO small and go soo fast (THROUGH the earth's molicule gaps at NEAR the speed of light or faster) we don't have machines sophisticated enough to measure these particles. Perhaps when they built something smaller than a nano-meter or something that day will come.

Oh dear we've made a whoopsie. Tachyons are quantum particles, existing both as physical objects and electromagnetic waveforms depending on if they're observed. That being said, even while existing as particles they don't travel by speed in the same way we do, they exist as probability fields. However even with that, we as a race do have the ability to detect quantum particles, both using our eyes (light photons are quantum particles) and devices like photometres and colourometeres. Tachyons, on the other hand, violate many principles of current universal physics theories and very likely can't be detected because they don't exist.

Of course you'd know all of this if you just read the wikipedia page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon], which I really recomend you do in future before irradiating yourself or wasting thousands of [your currancy here] trying to detect something that's already being looked for by qualified scientists with millian dollar budgets.

Okay I thought a Tachyon was a subatomic particle that can break the speed of light but only in a vacuum? So how are you creating a vacuum for all this "tachyonising" or how do you do it? I also thought that a research group from Austrailia named KANGAROO (not kidding, that's what they call themselves) did discover it and although it's true that the human eye (when adapted to the dark) can detect a photon, I don't think you would see something traveling faster than 186,000 miles per second. Lastly, did you mean whether light is a wave or particle depends on HOW it's observed? Sorry that first bit confused me. This is why Wikipedia is NOT equal to a library.

Alright, let me clear things up a bit. Or so I hope.

A Tachyon is a theoretical particle moving faster than the speed of light. We can't disprove that detect a Tachyon and probably never will because even if it exists it probably doesn't interact with sub-lightspeed particles. And if it does we still need bigger and better detectors.

Creating a vacuum isn't the problem, I mean you just have to suck the air out of an airtight vessel but I call BS on the "tachyonizing" part as shown in the last paragraph.

Aaaand... I'm not sure I know this photon detection experiment. Google to the rescue!

But I can help you with the ol' particle-wave-problem.
See, light is a strange thing. It's not totally wave but not totally particle, sometimes it uses features of a wave, sometimes of a particle.
For example looking at the <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment>double-slit experiment it behaves like a wave, meaning we can see interference like when you throw two stones into the water next to each other.
On the other hand do waves need a medium to travel through (sound waves, for example, can't exist in a vacuum) but light still passes the emptiness of space.

I could go on but I think I'll leave you there for now. Though feel free to ask, I have way too many hard physic books here. I can talk about anything.

Right. That was exactly what I meant about light. Whether or not it is a wave or a particle depends on HOW it's observed.

It's this bit from Paul Davies: "About Time" that gets me confused about Tachyons I think, Mr. Davies is talking about the CANGAROO experiments: "Some of the eletrically charged particles involved in these showers (the ones they were studying) move at very close indeed to the speed of light. In fact, they actually move FASTER than light moves through the air. This is an important point. The theory of relativity forbids a subatomic particle from going faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. But light travels more slowly in air, so it is possible for a nuclear particle, which may be slowed only slightly by the air, to be superluminal in the atmosphere. If the particle is electrically charged, it creates a sort of electromagnetic shock wave, a little bit like a sonic boom, but with light instead of sound. The light is known as "Cherenkov radiation."

Now the OP had talked about them as if Tachyons were bottled and available as pratically a Slurpee flavor, but I'm just saying that they've been discovered and do exist. If I'm wrong about that then so is this book and I want to know the truth. This is important (as is later explained in the book) because if it's true than it means that at the very least signals could be sent to the past/from the future as well as it has huge paradoxical implications for physics as a whole.

Sorry I guess you didn't read my post, but it is okay, people don't read these days despite spending time on the internet looking for things to read, heh. But on your notion about Tach-Water, you can Tachyonize nearly anything. Water for example is very easy to Tach, with a clear Tachyon cell, within a few hours, that water is going to be sweet to the taste, crisp, and give you a pickup like you drank a Jolt soda. The cell consentrates the Tachyons into an area, and what ever is near it usually absorbs the effects that the Tachyon energy provide. The breakdown of this happens shortly after removing the water from the cell. Thus, like I said before, I can not sell or provide for testing this water, unless you happen to live in my state or something. However, the site I get the products from does have the cells you can use to do it yourself, or they have their own ionized and tachyonized water they sell, but I have yet to try it , since I can make my own at will, with anything! Soda, Juice, Beer, Vodka, it doesn't really matter. And in fact, thigns with the most toxins in it, such as Cigarettes and Beer or what not, often taste like nothing you have ever tried before. Take a cheap beer and turn it into almost an ale taste.

And ONE more time I will adress the Meta-physical part of this post. Scientists have NOT been intelligent enough yet, to make a device that can happen to measure these particles. As was mentioned, they go WAY too fast, and pass THROUGH the Earth and back out into space. So I suppose you could consider it a wave form of sorts. Similar to light, or the radiation from the sun, these waves come to us all the time. You are getting them right now, but in small doses, and your computer is likly blocking a majority of it. But as far as saying Tachyons exist? If you use Science, they want 100 percent proof before they say anything. And if science hasn't evolved yet to be able to have a device to measure it, you can't prove it. Similar to if you saw a peice of string on the ground, and no one has made a ruler yet, can you say the string is 5 inches long without having a ruler invented to be able to make sure a statement So therefor the string is ZERO length and does not exist since there is no way to measure how much of it we have.

I can dislocate my thumbs, pinkies and my pinky toes XD but many can do that.
I can vibrate and move eyes separately - that is common too...
but that is all provable and common.
for long time I believed I can see the story of an object by touching it, but I disapproved that one to myself
so I am not special

 

[TheLiham]

I have double-jointed fingers, toes, ankles and shoulders... The most pointless joints ever!
I can put both legs behind my head.
And I have multiple personalities, isn't really a talent but its kinda superheroey

Hey, all of us with the wierd thumb thing, or just stretchy joints, should check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehlers-Danlos_syndrome

Today I found out that I have EDS... And there is no cure.

This reminds me of a quote from the TV show Monk *which I highly recommend*

Monk "It's a blessing ........ and a curse"

or I could use the Spiderman movie quote

"With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. "

But ultimately I guess it means you have a superhuman power, as to its usefulness I am unsure, however if you can find a way to fight crime with it, you can monopoliize on the industry.

 

[JDLY]

Whenever I think of a part of a tv show, later in the day that exact episode will come on. This has happened about 50 times in my life. This also works sometimes with songs on the radio.

That happens to me all the time.
Surely there's a scientific explanation.

there actually is, there even is a scientific term for it. i just have forgotten what it is^^

here's the quick rundown: lets say you think of episode 42 of show x. later that day you turn on the tv, and what episode is on?! 23. nothing special and most likely you will never think about it again, forget that you thought about the episode and that was that.
however, when episode 42 would have been on, you would have thought: "duuuuude, how weird is this?" and remember the freak occurance for years.
so the times when you guess the right episode are in the normal statistical margin. it just seems incredible because you only remember the right "guesses" and therefore grossely misjudge the hit quota. god i wish i remember what the scientific term for that was, there surely must be a wikipedia-article about it..

What if it happens 6 songs in a row on the radio when I'm in the car. Most the time it happens every once in a while, but once it seriously happened at least six times in a row. As one song finished, another popped in my head and that was the next song.

One failed guess doesn't mean you don't have intuition, as we are human, no one is always right everytime. And people often second guess themselves, giving the other answer they intended to give instead of the first one that popped into their head. But personally, an ex of mine had this ring that she claimed her "Wiken Witch" Aunt had given to her. I put it on per her request once, and I swear to God that it gave an energy pulse, but it felt like dark energy, and I instantly removed the ring. Never touching or questioning it's origin again.
