click on above link ..... and also Chi power is uned to make a person unconscious with out touching ??
How can it be ?
and where can I learn this ?
-
Did you notice that they want you to send them money?
Anyway, the person could have just been blowing on it for all we know. Or like many of the comments say, the convection currents caused by the heat of the persons hands.
-
In feng shui they talk about 'chi' all the time and its even flow about the house. One thing that 'kills' chi flow are 'poison arrows'. Poison arrows are caused by protrusions and sharp corners... much like the sharp corners on that bit of decorated card...
-
hahaha, nice observation
Also, why haven't any of these people gone and collected their million dollars? http://www.skepdic.com/randi.html

I managed to get an entire room to spin. No Chi involved, just several pints of Guinness.

Qi is a very important thing to several religions, and it would be imprudent to make fun of it. (not that you are, just commenting).
the problem with convection currents is that the card is symmetrical, there is nothing to push on. but then again, it does have those inverted dips.
NB im just commenting, not necessarily saying ppl can move things with Qi
-
If Chi (or Qi) is important to some religions, yet it doesn't exist, what does that tell you about those religions?
Why am I not allowed to make fun of belief sytems that believe the equivalent of "there are fairies at the bottom of my garden but they are invisible so you can't see them"?
If someone turns up on a science website amd says "I think the earth is flat" they will get the piss taken remorselessly.
Why is religion different?
-
because the fact that someone believes something truly, is not something to be ridiculed.
well, i dont think so, and anyway, this is not the forum (if you will excuse the pun) to discuss such maters

So if you went into a boxing ring, you wouldn't expect to get punched? Just because someone believes in something does not make that something sacrosanct. If you believe in that stuff and keep it to yourself, well, that's fine - you're allowed life choices, naive as they may be. But if you express it in a public arena, especially on a science forum, expect it to be treated with the derision it deserves.

Then religion had better be sure to keep at least 500 yards out of my way.
I promise not to visit the "Naked priest" site and preach the merits of observation and independednt thought, as long as they don't come here and preach dogma and closedmindedness.

I bet my dogma can beat your dogma.

Quite possibly. Do you have any experimental evidence for the suggestion.

Yes. But it takes an extremely cultivated eye to discern the superior dogma.

Afraid I must leave you to your puns. It's the last day of the Occupational Therapists exhibition & conference today. So I'm off to sunny Brighton to

In any case, Chemistry4me, below are the subwoofers you really need. Pooch-ini on i-pawd? I bet hoven even sounds better on these speakers!

I just know that there must be a pun in there....somewhere! My assistant below just subjected your post to my proprietary Pun-O-Meter® and it came out COP (clean of puns), a one-liner report.
Maybe, just maybe, your wordplay got by me this time. But I've written to DEE (Double Entendre Electronics), and asked for their latest Quip® software...then we'll see what's what.

The dogs should just lap it up.

Chem, if we allow that, we must make it perfectly clear to both sides what their respective responsibilities are, as stated on the sign posted below!
And if that works, we can all sing our favorite tune, "Fleas Release Me".

I'm not a physician or vet, but nevertheless I would strongly recommend Reptiagra®, Snakialis® or Lizitra® XL (Extra Length). Side effects do include spitting. Should be taken with 1/2 coconut shell of lake water, one hour before emulating the birds and the bees.
Please be aware that untreated e-rep-tile dysfunction can lead to serious change of libido that causes unfaithful sex syndrome, you know, the sneaking around kind.

Does that lead to the birth of a baby boa? Or girl?

Well, I think that it's more a matter of boa meets girl.

Excuse me but where is a mod? This forum should be locked by now, the main topic is no longer being discussed and people cant agree with one another. [?] In my opinion chi could be very much a part of science as of religion so based on the fact that there is proof of energy beleived to be chi then that would make it technically a theory, when someone has a scientific theory it is not bantered such as a religion. When you really think about it, all a religion is, is a theory about the world itself, which would mean though you may not want to agree religion IS a form of science.
-
Excuse me but where is some credible research (the "proof" you claim to have below) that demonstrates the existence of chi? Please cite or link.

Yes OK, scute along now, your grub is ready. But remember to test you diner before eating it.
-
My local diner was built to scale, but, for a simple oversight, they had to do the floors all over again! - putting down endless rep-tiles. But hopefully they can write off the expense when they submit their form taxon to the Government Revenue Service, who can sometimes be cold-blooded about it!
-
I hope the flooring contractors were able to carry pace in their efforts and lay a good plaster on before they got under way.
Watch those tax people, they'll have you up before the beak in court, just as they tried with Shilpa, the Indian Star.
-
For those brave souls who like raw beef, the diner makes great carrypacecio, but some people get plastered on Indian Bournvita 5 Star Magic instead!
-
I am quite partial to pancakes myself. There is a shop just along the road, I'll gopher the necessary ingredients. I'll just hinge back the door, and off I go.
On the point of magic, that special word used by magicians 'Abra-aldabra' has a nice ring to it.
-
I'm basking in the glorious accomplishment of a great new look for the diner!

Sulcata a piece of the marginated of the pizza for you to nibble at while you walk around the horsefield contemplating your next post.
BTW I am impressed with your chelonian knowledge. You have passed the testudine.
Quite frankly, I am running out of ideas, I need something to spur me on
-
Many thanks for the compliment! It's not easy keeping up with the founder of TFF! Quite intimidating actually. So I've been doing some crash reading [:)]
As to new ideas, I think you did it right - above - by combining equestrian, testudinic [sp?], doggified, snakelike, whatever!
The mane thing - to use your great expression - is to have fun. And to be somewhat educational. So if no ideas are forthcoming, just hold off until the brainstorm hits. And if it's a long time, I'll just go back to O-sole-O-mio like I did before [;D]
I've enjoyed re-reading the posts. And it's been an amazing educational experience for me. If the humor weren't there, I doubt I would have been motivated to learn more about turtles, for example! And hopefully there's a mini-education here for others who are brave enough to saunter by!
Fangs again!

You can't butter us up with that cheesey grin. When it comes to puns, we're not cowards, we've just been put out to graze for while. To chew the cud so to speak. We both deserve a pat on the back for our fine efforts.

Wow, Don, this is the breast I've seen yet. And C4M is in rare form, too, I see. It seems like dairy, correction, I mean daily, that there's a superb response to this punishingly difficult cattle call!

Don't be offended, Don, but extraordinary claims (Pun count - 12) require extraordinary evidence, so my trusted assistant below just subjected your claim to my proprietary Pun-O-Meter® and it reported..........12!!! It's a one-liner report.

And at this rate, you might qualify for the 2010 Championship Pun Offs!

click on above link ..... and also Chi power is uned to make a person unconscious with out touching ??
How can it be ?
and where can I learn this ?
Not impossible - but rather improbable. What is called Chi-Energy seems to be just a ''state of mind''. Certain states of mind can in fact give us adrenaline rushes and various chemical imbalances within the brain. In fact, superhuman strength has been recorded many times in many history books - which actually depended on the state of mind.
The old saying, mind over matter is true, but in what sense is Chi-Energy used? I am not all familiar towards it, but it seems like a case of the state of mind. If it is not, then we are actually invoking some kind of energy within - and as far as i know, scientists are yet to prove such stimulus other than the brain network itself.

This "state of mind" discussion reminds me of the superhuman strength a frantic mother can muster to lift a car so that she can free her pinned-down and trapped son.

That's JUST WEIRD.
That was the same story I had in mind when i wrote this.

Now I don't believe in chi or anything, but I do believe their take on chi is a slight metaphysical interpretation of concrete nervous structures and relations within the human body. For example, they say they can feel your palm/hand and know where "distress" is in your body. Some organs can be in distress without conscious pain registering, though there may be other painless nerve signals being sent that manifest themselves in small almost imperceptible clenching of muscles in the hand.
Thousands of years ago Chinese monks were able to figure out that even in a normal person, by not having any sex, a male can have a slight increase in his intellectual function. When a monkish order has a few millennium to sit around and think about crap, you'd be surprised what revelations they can come up with =P
Coming back to the origins of this thread, I imported the quote above from my thread (POIS).
Interesting. I wonder if there is some useful material that can be gleaned from chi philosophy, even though the chi philosophy itself seems flawed or unscientific?

Honestly, all you need to do is take Tai Chi. You will learn. [O8)]

because the fact that someone believes something truly, is not something to be ridiculed.
well, i dont think so, and anyway, this is not the forum (if you will excuse the pun) to discuss such maters
So if you went into a boxing ring, you wouldn't expect to get punched? Just because someone believes in something does not make that something sacrosanct. If you believe in that stuff and keep it to yourself, well, that's fine - you're allowed life choices, naive as they may be. But if you express it in a public arena, especially on a science forum, expect it to be treated with the derision it deserves.
I don't go to boxing rings :P
but I see your point, perhaps I should stay silent in such matters.
I guess that you're right when you say that its not sacrosanct, and perhaps its not...

Power of suggestion, body language expressed through your trust in what you believe you to 'know', and good principles concentrating your 'form' makes for most of the martial arts. It's still physics, not meta physics..
I think?
As I haven't seen anything 'unexplainable' myself yet :)
That may change when I see it though.
If you do a form correctly, using the top of a finger instead of a palm or a fist, the same 'force' will be concentrated to a very small surface area, and the shockwaves traveling inside your opponents body, depending on how you deliver that same assault, will express itself differently. You can deliver a very fast moving back and forth blow or you can deliver a more penetrating one where you mentally try to go through a object. They have different effects and that I think have to do with the shockwaves traveling.
But it takes many years being that sure on what you do, you need a flawless form to use your fingertip(s) for it. Do it wrong and you just break them. Then you have points that are bones (Koppo) points that are nerve centers and points that's called 'Chi' or 'Ki' disturbing the same. Those points have an effect too, but they may just be extensions of the ones I mentioned before. You can also attack bloodvessels and muscles, as long as you know what you're doing. It's like everything else, train long enough at something and it almost becomes instinctive to you.
And I agree with Shadec, believing in yourself will make wonders for what you can do, and for what the opponent may 'read you' as being able to do. But there is always a limit for such, and a real fighter, or nutter, might still attack. So it's better to have some factual training behind your attitude :)

Why should any of us make "TNS" a bias site?
"It should not be a taboo subject, but frankly it often is in scientific circles," said Francis S. Collins, who directs the National Human Genome Research Institute and who speaks freely about his Christian faith..........Dr. Collins, who is working on a book about his religious faith, also believes that people should not have to keep religious beliefs and scientific theories strictly separate......................But he said he believed that some scientists were simply unwilling to confront the big questions religion tried to answer. "You will never understand what it means to be a human being through naturalistic observation," he said. "You won't understand why you are here and what the meaning is. Science has no power to address these questions - and are they not the most important questions we ask ourselves?"
By the way I am not a religious person but I like to keep an open mind

I totally disagree with the video.I mean how could it be ?
well it's not following the laws of physics.Perhaps,we haven't discovered 'physics' fully yet!
Science haven't discovered much about it.Perhaps,someday we could finally prove supernatural phenomenon.
I wonder how philosophy would explain this?
L-Kira.

There are many things that are unexplainable in this point in time. Hopefully we will be able to find the answers soon.

Psycho-energetic - Aspect martial
During World War II Nazi scientists made several trips to Tibet because they were interested in ancient knowledge, one of whose goals was to create "super soldiers". Nazi Germany has invested heavily in research. And even after the war, research was pursued by the USSR and the United States. What they know about the psycho-energetics that were targeted, since knowledge-building "hidden" of the man opened new horizons for units specifically trained.
