So if there are these 'huge amounts of energy' in meditators prefrontal cortexes, then it really can't be THAT huge - neurons are very delicate organs that require a very narrow operating temperature. pH, salinity, etc, an organic environment simply cannot sustain 'huge amounts' of thermal, chemical or electromagnetic energy with damaging the neural substrate, so I'm pressing the bullshit button on that one..
Telepathy, deja va, or esp cannot be a form of organic radio then, in that one person is transmitting (using the 'huge' energy stores they create), and another receiving, as there is nowhere on the electromagnetic spectrum that is suitable , and I'll defer to the blog of Paul Smith at this point:
"Nature gives us four forces to work with, we can dismiss the nuclear forces as they only apply at the atomic level, we can also dismiss gravity, which correlates with mass as our brain isn't that massive, and even if it were, there would be no way to reasonably alter the mass to be able to send data. That leaves us with the electro-magnetic force, specifically the EM spectrum.Due to the size of our heads, one can rule out the longer radio wavelengths, to be realistic we'd have to start somewhere near the microwave area of the spectrum, once we get to the infra-red it becomes hard for us to control the signal without our body heat getting in the way, by the time we reach visible, it gets worse, can you imagine how bright a light you'd need to shine through your skull? You'd have to spend all day eating to stand a hope in hell of generating so much energy, by the time we're at these frequencies the brain would simply cook itself, touching your head would be like touching a 1000 watt light bulb, then of course if it were visible, we'd be able to see it with our eyes, I don't remember the last time I saw somebody with a glowing head.
So if we were to communicate using the EM spectrum, it would probably be around microwave wavelengths, this is the same frequencies that mobile phones, and 802.11 devices use.
As our brain does have an electrical current, it also generates an electro-magnetic field, however this is a by-product of the electrons whizzing around in our heads, and cannot encode any information. Also it is extremely weak, and we need sensors on the skull itself to stand much hope of even measuring it. So I believe we can rule this out going forward.
OK, so let's say we use microwaves, what we'd need is some form of transmitter in our brains, which can vary the microwave signal so we can encode our thoughts along with it. Also the psychics would need a receiver in their heads.
So yes Milly, it is possible. You don't have to break the laws of nature to do it.
However. From an evolutionary prospective it would be an expensive system to develop, the energy required to send out a constant stream of thoughts would drastically increase the amount of energy our brain uses. We also have ways to communicate which cost very little, we can send information through sound waves by banging things, or by changing the pitch of sounds using our vocal system.
Of course, these alone don't rule it out they just make it less likely to develop.
We could be generous and grant psychics the use of an undiscovered force, which costs very little energy and doesn't require much in the way of transmitters or receivers.
However still, they fall flat on their faces. We've been doing experiments with psychics for over a hundred years now, and nothing, nothing at all, negative, no effect."
- you're forgetting the basic concept is ultimate interconnectivity not energy conductionKwesiJ
- 'ultimate interconnectivity' ?
