As I said it's speculative.Âigorgetmeabrain wrote:To be fair, a living body does give off many different forms of energy in varying amounts, all the time, heat being the most obvious of these. I don't believe that any of these play any particularly significant role in our interactions with each other though.

Yes, you can explain - just think more.revelthedog wrote:You will have met people that you get along with straight away, you click. You can't explain why.

Really, do some reading round the areas of psychology, cognitive science, neruoscience, etc. - there's no need to posit unseen psychic energy. These are probably a good place to start - I've linked to them many times before as they're pretty well-written and entertaining: http://www.psychologyofgames.com/ http://youarenotsosmart.com/what's utter guff?Yes, the internally generated light given off by the body is absolutely swamped by the reflected light that enables you to see that person.

Voyager launched in 1977. Today, Voyager I is about 121 astronomical units (the rough distance from the Sun to the Earth) away. That is so far that it takes 16 hours for the radio signals it transmits to reach us. (Voyager II is about 22 astronomical units -- approximately seven years -- behind.) It is traveling at about 17 kilometers per second (38,000 miles per hour), propelled by the slingshot effect from flying by Jupiter and Saturn. ("It's well above escape velocity," Stone said.) The spacecraft's cameras have been turned off since 1990, when it took the pictures for the famous Family Portrait mosaic that captures the planets as they appeared as Voyager I looked back over the solar system it had traveled across.

Cost, possibly, if possible.Facewon wrote:Given that that's real, and if it did "inspire" the wipeout thing, I'm kinda wondering why they bothered to fake the wipeout thing. In what sense is the wipeout thing a hoax, and couldn't they have, you know, actually done it, given the above vid. Or is the wipeout vid a step further than possible, and they were relying on laymen such as myself seeing the vid above and extrapolating?
