Steve, I like what you're saying here which is that we don't yet know all the laws governing gravity. And I think this is a very scientific attitude. I bet we don't know all the laws about anything yet! Including how human bodies obtain energy from their surroundings. Which kind of makes the future fascinating to consider (-: Sorry you wild wild things, I don't think there will be any surprises from gravity and metabolism, I think we've got those pretty sussed - at least as far as floating and not eating for 70 years is concerned LOL. Happy to be persuaded otherwise by some evidence though. On Tuesday, September 23, 2014 1:18 AM, "steve.sundur@...

Sure, what interested me was that the environment seemed to be controlled. I suppose it could be a case of deception, but I haven't looked into it to see if there are accusations of that sort. And of course, that can be a somewhat an easy out. "It seems impossible, so there must be some deception going on" The below isn't one of them I'm afraid as there is nothing unusual or contrary about it other than it appears counter to our expectations drawn from the sort of things we usually run into. Supercooled helium isn't a day-to-day occurrence and it isn't defeating gravity in any way. Nor has anything else anyone has ever come across, apart from anecdotally and what are we to make of that? Well, that is what I am saying. Right now, the relationship between body and akasha and the lightness of cotton fiber could not result in levitation because it would appear to violate the laws of gravity. But if somehow, someone levitated by utilizing that formula, then we suddenly modify our understanding of how gravity would work in that situation. Preview by Yahoo I didn't use the word hogwash, bullshit would be closer to it anyway. This guy in Australia was caught out, there was no magic going on. I don't know why people not eating would be a sign of anything great anyway, it's the sort of thing I'd avoid in a guru. I like my chips and gravy too much to be impressed by thinness. But the lure of magic is enough for a lot of people I suppose, it's always interested me, I'm an eternal optimist but becoming rather sceptical these days. Wait a second. What does it matter if you think it's silly? That has nothing to do with it. What has everything to do with it, is that it is, on the surface, impossible. I did a quick search to try to find some deception about it. This guy below states, "It's a fraud, because I say it is". He doesn't cite any obvious deception. His says, "I am a (self proclaimed) authority on such matters, and I declare it to be a deception" Has This Man Gone 70 Years Without Eating? UPDATE: Chill Out, Everyone.

Well, of course! What would being intellectually dishonest get you. Nothing but delusions. Having a threshold of credibility is a good plan, it means you have a handy way of weeding out the bullshit at the start but it shouldn't be so rigid that you become blinkered. What you need is a good working knowledge about something before you consider contrary evidence. We can always be wrong but the discovery of a chakra - whatever that means- in the brain that creates nectar of this usefulness (or at all) would be a major discovery. Let's hope for the diet industry's sake if no one elses that this guy has broken the laws of conservation of energy, as well as a few others. I'll bet good money that he hasn't though... Well, as I said, in case I missed something, nothing came up as evidence of fraud in this case in the initial google search. People in general may like KK but she isn't defying the laws of nature, even though her arse appears to be stretching them sometimes. I don't care what anyone thinks, and this is not scientific, but everything seems to be speeding up. Sure, you can say it's all about technology, and maybe it is. But nothing seems to stay in the news cycle for more than a few minutes. It happens, and then it's in the rearview mirror. The silly Kardashians feel compelled to do something titillating or outrageous every week or so, to stay in the limelight. I hope we can forget about them, soon as well. . Preview by Yahoo
