Now after saying all that who knows if our current biological development does indeed allow us to perform various effects.
I would not be surprised, a little skeptical, but not suprised at all, we have learned or done wierder things. Being able to clone a sheep (imagine trying to tell someone being able to do that 100 or so years ago), being able to splice genes from one organism to another adding traits from the first organism to the other, creating cars that are fully autonomous, etc.

...and we could create very potent effects if we use suitably advanced technologies.
If we were to use claytronics for example we could manipulate the shape and form of an object or an entire environment by having the person in question send data of what he or she would prefer through the signals he or she sends to his or her implant to these machines.
Thats pretty friggen awesome we must admit and we would find far more to do, obviously, with such a connection and new technology.

If this is so then simple man-machine interface, a new development of this century that directly links the brain by implanting a computer into a organism's neverous system and having the electrical signals desired to be used sent from the brain, to the implant, and to a wireless network to be interpeted by another device, is a form of psionics.
It does after all have the possibility to create an effect that to the untrained would seem to be "paranormal" but very rooted in science with thought

So we look at the definition of psionics once again:
"the study and/or practice of using the mind to induce paranormal phenomena"
The definition of the word psionics does not take out of account the ability to induce any form of effect without the aid of technology, though it does not meet the modern preception of the word, just that it must be done so through the thoughts or will of the subject.

So if we were to debate the possibility of psionics we would have to assume one of two things a) that we call paranormal is simply what we assume as paranormal is part of science that we did not understand previously or b) that what we call paranormal truly is what it is and can not be explained through science.
Obviously if we are going to be able to have a debate we would have to assume possibility a, since possibility b makes it impossible.

The word psi does not originate from religion, but originates from the workings of B. P. Wiesner and Robert H. Thouless, two science fiction authors, and broadened to what we think of it now by another science fiction author John W. Campbell.
By its definition the word psionics means "the study and/or practice of using the mind to induce paranormal phenomena"

Science is that which can be proven through the scientific method. Nothing more. Nothing less.
To not even give any form of "phenomena" true scientific scrutiny, through the scientific method, and which can be replicated again and again by anyone that performs the experiment may they believe in the theory or not, unless it would harm, physically or emotionally, a conscious being, would be a crime against the very pursuit of science.

There is no evidence of evolution of mankind from any other species. It is easy to prove.
Check out my vids. I have studied this for over 40 years. I have no religion and I certainly never want to be indoctrinated by some idiot named Ken. Do your own thinking. Don't be the clone of someone elses thought process and beliefs.

Great video. It appears that Science is finally making a breakthrough on things which do not conform to conventional logic and rationality. |
