I would LOVE for yous to do another show based entirely on science of the show Fringe (you said fringe quite a few times, so it had me thinking). Fringe is all about the...well, fringes of science. It would be fantastic if you guys were to dedicated some episodes (or an entire show) to talk about some of the science in the show, and go into depth.
I think a series on psychopaths and sociopaths would be interesting. Or a series revolving around murderers and the scientific research done on convicted felons. Just an idea :) Trace you do an awesome job at delivering interesting topics and ideas to the world of the Internet. Thank you!!
Great video Trace. open mindedness is absolutely the key. I will be recommending this video in particular to some of my die hard scientist friends as I feel exactly about the so called paranormal as yourself, as in....we need to research & question constantly. thank you
I am a science student and I love to investigate paranormal,no matter if it is ghost investigation or a ufo/aliens investigation and this video helped me to figure out another angle of this world and opened my eyes. Thanks
He thinks (or speaks) as I think. So I've been sending these videos to friends whom I fail to explain ideas like this to. For example, explaining the "believing game" and "doubting game" is extremely difficult, but he does it so well.
Trace can you cover the idea that technology is going to eliminate a lot of jobs and how governments are conducting trials of paying every citizen a guaranteed income regardless whether or not they work. I'd love a comment back it'd make my day.
+Combinacijusx It seems like we're in the middle of another revolution now, that could _potentially_ lead to a society in which we can't expect the majority to work 8 hours/day. I think that eventually we'll find other things to do for money (i.e. other jobs) but things are changing so quickly that I and many others are worried that things will get worse before they get better in the job market.
once couldnt find my can opener. i looked all over the house and the can opener wasnt found so I decided to wash the dishes in case i simply over looked the pile of dirty dishes. nothing appeared even after placing all of the dishes away. after an hour or so i found the can opener where it should be in the silverware drawer lying on top of the silverware. another time at another address the spatula was missing. this spatula was discovered missing when my midnight fried egg required a spatula. i pan flipped it instead. once again after an hour or so of searching, having experienced this before, i said the spatula will be in the drawer in the morning. rise and shine, the spatula was where i expected it to be. once put a key in my mailbox with the intention to send it through the black hole i created after hypothesizing time travel and telekinesis after analyzing donnie darko. the key reappeared in a suit jacket pocket,pocket, which was sewn shut. i had to rip the seam open to grab the key. i lost the key forever after that morning. it was placed in a drawer and never found again. there were 333 comments before this one. happy 333
12:30 you said it Trace. It's all crazy! We use our conscious minds to contemplate things, like consciousness, which itself is a paranormal phenomenon. What is life?
As Clarke once said, "Magic is just science we don't understand yet". If, one day, someone manages to perform genuine telekinesis in a controlled scientific environment, then all of the sudden you have tangible research and hard data nobody could deny. Then telekinetic research would become a hard science and would no longer be considered magic. Stuff like this could change the world and our understanding of reality as we know it.
+PsychoSubSandwich but if someone makes that happen I'm pretty sure they will be a lab rat for the rest of their life. Not a pretty life to think about
I'm reminded of the Andy Kaufman movie "Man on the Moon, staring Jim carry. People couldn't tell if Andy Kaufman was "for real" with his annoying shtick. His performance "art" pissed a lot of people off...When this performer faced his own mortality, Kaufman was fooled by a faith healer. Jim carry's reaction in the moment of realization that this faith healer was a flim flam "artist" will stay with me my whole life. Don't be so open minded that your brain falls out, but don't be so skeptical can you can't believe we put a man on the moon! :D
When he said “space travel” Energy and particles and how they react or behave is what i would like to learn more about. Don’t associate death or even conscious beings or any other stigma attached to paranormal events. In the case of a so called haunting I would approach it like a water leak or something , what are the patterns and what actual substance is causing it etc. i can throw a cup across the room but a better approach to understanding me doing this would be the fact that it’s (me) is a composite of carbon based atoms that is dense enough to create the energy needed to traject and object. See how I took the human or conscious paradigm out of it there ? That Is how paranormal events should be treated
im just gonna point out that i was once grabbed by something and the hand print stayed on my body for like a week and no one in the house hands matched the size of what grabbed me. to this day its still unknown. this led me to believe that spirits do exist
One time I tried to impress a girl by palm reading. I looked up what her name meant before I did it (it's a gemstone) and I just bullshitted my way through it. Later that same say I met her, she told me she was 'infatuated' by me and stuff. Con artists are literally the most lit people on the planet.
The video makes it sound as if the most revolutionary discoveries in human history were the result of concerted research efforts (germ theory, round Earth and orbiting the Sun being the examples given), but that's usually not how it goes down. More often than not these discoveries are made accidentally. Trying to explain a phenomenon with the prevailing theory, failing to do so, and then concluding that the theory must be flawed and offering up an alternative and testing that. Somewhat different to deciding that you believe in ghosts and setting out to prove it. Scientists do make and test hypotheses, sure (read: obviously), but that's not the method that usually results in unanticipated, world changing discoveries. Also, it's James* 'The Amazing' Randy. Probably the greatest name in the world.
Believing that bad air causes sickness isn't necessarily wrong, we have identified the germs in the air. They just missed the fact that germs can spread through contact.
Have you done a series on Imaginary friends? As a child I had 2 that were very different from eachother. It would be pretty rad to touch on the topic from a scientific POV.
Does anyone know if there is a video where this guy talks about living in a "haunted house"? I want to know because, not only am I fascinated by all kinds of paranormal stories but, this guy appears to not believe in ghosts yet he talks about living in a haunted house without using any sarcasm or air quotes.
"For a significant amount of human history we used to believe that the sun revolved around Earth and the Earth was flat. That was until skepticism made someone questioned it all." People also used correct verb tenses back then.
I did not understood what was the point related with magical thinking. And why is the fun coming from watching a magic trick in the same video with scientists studying paranormal events?
So for you "paranormal" just means "not yet explained". But for others it means "explainable by mysticism, but not by science". Or "unexplainable even in principle". If you speak to ghosthunters of ESP enthusiasts, they don't _want_ an explanation. They want to believe in magic.
Yeah and if it wasn't for the handful of critical rational curious minds then we would still be living in grass huts or in trees and dying at 25 of rickets.
+Stefan Travis don't blanket everyone into one category just because you don't like their beliefs. I believe in esp, but that doesn't mean I think it's not a scientific thing. I've experienced the sense of feeling someone looking at you when you thought you were alone, that doesn't mean it was magic, I could just be "brain waves" that travel and somehow allow one persons thoughts to picked up by another's focusing on them as if our consciousness is all one by existence and that it's apart of reality itself. The same thing goes for ghost. A scientific explanation could be that extraterrestrial beings use technology so advanced, allowing them to go into different dimensions or plains of space, that humans thought these occurrences were supernatural or divine and that these beings were "spirits" or "angels".
grass hopper Science deals in what is definable and observable. The "brainwaves" you posit are neither, ditto your "different dimensions or plains of space". The "technology so advanced" is the old science fiction handwave used to "explain" the fictional physics of Star Trek. Giving magic a sciency sounding name doesn't stop it being magic.
+Stefan Travis What do you not understand about the idea of something like esp being real but is something we don't understand because it's out of our knowledge of science, magic isn't real so if people have premonitions of things that were yet to happen then it's scientific, there's no such thing as magic.
+grass hopper Check this out. Our neo cortex is pico seconds behind the actual sensory stimuli and said stimuli are occurring at the speed of light and sound which are not instantaneous although they are extremely quick. To keep our perception in the moment and in doing so helping us survive and react The other segments of our brain have to process and anticipate probabilities before they coalesce into virtual certainty. This is a fact of neuroscience. Probabilities are coalescing at a vector to our conscious perception, anticipating and telling our conscious region of the brain the story of what happened. There is a lag but also to some degree our subconscious mind is perceiving things that are in the future from our perspective.
Yeah like Joachim low Germany's coach in last world cup he kept wearing the same freaking suit never even washed it these are his words ...He said: “I’m not driven by superstition but the coaching staff want me to wear the blue sweater because we always score four goals when I do. It is becoming almost a running gag. People keep going on about it.“I’m not even allowed to wash it now even though I’ve worn it several times. I think I will wear it again against Spain.”Germany won the world cup but we look at it today and think hey that's paranormal maybe low's Germs spread to spain's players effecting their overall performance ? but we never know
I think that it's important to get the truth about paranormal activities. Especially about whether we live on after death which I believe is the one important question that humanity has questioned since we evolved consciousness. Why there are legitimate scientific teams out there researching this is most confusing.
Lmao please tell me when humans evolved consciously u see the world u live in murder, rape, war, homosexuality, but I forgot science can't explain good or evil or the importance of morals
There's actually a disturbing amount of people that still think the world is flat, and I'm not talking about third world countries the people aren't taught any better either...
ESP is 100% real, that's why tons of people had visions and premotions about the titanic sinking and 911 occurring, a lot of people knew something bad was gonna happen and refused to board the ship. And in my opinion, "spirits" are actually extraterrestrial beings that have visited us for much of human history and that they are capable of going into different dimensions, or a "spirit" world, and were misinterpreted by humans as being something supernatural or divine.
Well for one thing, people have always had the concept of psychics and knowing the future. Perhaps maybe there is a slight inherent tendency for people to gain knowledge from one another, perhaps it's just part of wanting to know more about each other and the future. Either way, if someone is able to do these things then they can, if they can't they can't. We can't study it until or unless someone comes forward and can prove it scientifically. If we can't then so be it. But if we can, that's where we can learn things. If not then we can put attention elsewhere. If so then this can be taken to forward elsewhere.
Utilizing modern science: 1. Modern science says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Hence, energy is eternally existent or modern science is wrong. 2. Modern science says that we have cells that come into existence on a daily basis inside of our body. So, since I have a body with energy and cells in it: A part of me is eternally existent and a part of me is being born anew on a daily basis. My body extends from eternity past until now. I exist in the "eternal now". Rising to a higher level of thought, the "now" that I exist in (which extends from eternity past until now), is "eternal". I am currently an eternally consciously existent being with choices, (basically at "God's" basic level). And this applies to you too. Modern science says that a singular mass "banged" which then went on to create the forces of nature that the universe operates by as well as everything in existence in the universe, including me and my consciousness. I am a very part of that mass that "banged" which existed before this universe existed. And this applies to you too. [But then again, does anything at all even exist per se, or does only this singular mass that banged exist in the form of all things? How could I ever cease to exist if "I" never ever existed at all in the first place? This singular mass that banged, that has a consciousness, (as evidenced by the consciousness "you" and "I" apparently are experiencing), is existing as all things.] Personally to me: "Space" is pure energy itself. Wherever space is, energy is. Wherever energy is, space is. "Time" is the flow of that energy. I am a very part of space and time itself. And this applies to you too. And what exactly of the placebo effect and utilization of visualization techniques? Mind over matter? Just energy interacting with energy primarily by utilizing energy frequencies? I believe so. Everything in this universe is basically energy interacting with energy. Learn about energy and how to manipulate energy as the basis for learning about everything in existence in this universe.
Appears the truth is too harsh for some so my previous comments have been deleted. I used to know a guy like you that said he wanted the truth and was curious but after a while I realized he was in it only as an edifice of distraction and entertainment. He enjoyed fantasy and was OK to relegate loose ends to faith. He didn't truly understand the scientific method nor did he have the will or education to understand proper science. He was content with satisfying his own comfortable conclusions and ignoring anything that contradicted them. Enjoy your wishy-washy feel good "answers", go stroke your ego. I am revolted by your lack of sincerity ot understanding and truth. You make decisions based on emotion instead of factual data and logic. You're no different then the theists and new agers.
+Donald Baker Whatever, life itself is just an illusion anyway from the human perspective as far as eternity is concerned. One day we all consciously die from something, forget everything we ever knew and experienced, and then one day in future eternity are forgotten. So, our true destiny is to cease to exist, forget everything, and then are forgotten. (Or so it currently appears). If you or anybody else out there in internet land has any evidence to the contrary, please post it here. I am enjoying my illusion, hope you do the same. But, really, I don't care if you do or not. To real for you?
+Donald Baker Life is just an illusion from the human perspective as far as eternity is concerned.

We never believed the earth was flat, or if we did, it isn't from the time period most people believe, it's a common misconception so I don't blame him
I don't understand why people want to prove something that may make someone feel better, wrong. If believing a close relative or friend that died is "visiting" them helps them cope with losing their loved one, why not let them? Believe whatever you want to believe, as long as you are not hurting anyone else, whats the harm? Leave believers in the paranormal alone. We may not be able to prove in supernatural things but we can't disprove it either. People that want to take away others beliefs are just as bad as the people that tell a 2 year old there's no Santa. These people just want everyone else to be miserable. I told my kids (6 and 4) that their Grandpa (passed 2 weeks ago tomorrow) will visit them in their dreams "Dream Dates" we call them. To help them cope, so they aren't sitting there thinking "I will never see my Grandpa again". They saw him daily, he lived with us. Is this wrong? Is it wrong to tell my kids he is in their heart and will be there as long as they remember the good times with him?
I think with a tourist attraction, it's not fraud. The people going on these trips know that the chances of actually seeing anything is almost 0. They go on these trips for fun, or, "just to see". But with fake mediums, they're straight lying to people.
@DNews Plus Hey I reckon the viewers would really enjoy a video about Biophotons and how you would go about growing your light? Thanks Amazing vid, btw i think technique is magical along with having the ability create!
Modern science recognizes a singular mass that banged as the formation of this universe and all in it. But, why would this singular mass that banged only bang in one direction? Wouldn't it bang in basically a spherical shape? Is the fifth dimension (and probably other dimensions, different dimensions being defined by the different forces of nature that they operate by, [even the singular mass that existed and banged did so before our current forces of nature came about]), basically a spherical shape that our 4 dimensions of space time rest upon? Did the universe basically all come into existence at basically the same time when it reaches a certain spherical level? But then, how high is "up"? But, since this video deals with paranormal events, can we interact with this other dimension that our dimensions rest upon? And consider this: electromagnetic radiation energy has existed in this universe since basically day one, but yet it was only in the last couple of hundred years or so when humans discovered it's existence and started to figure out how to utilize it. What else is still "out there", (or "in here")? We truly do not know. Have fun trying to figure it out.
I like this comment because you give the idea that what is beyond could very well exist but no one knows yet. I think if it is real it must have its own physics to it. Our reality is held together by nuclear fission. So what about other reality's in universe's? I believe it must have some type of physics to it in order to exist. To assume there are no other reality's is very strange. I mean Multiverse Theory not heaven and hell ideology. Oh and for people who don't believe an apparition would have clothing stripped from them when they die? What if said phantom was just a burned image? Like old school monitors that you leave on and because you are to lazy to put on a screensaver, an image was burned into the screen. So from now on when you power down the last thing you masturbated to was still there. Could that be similar to people seeing a dead persons form? If so I still believe that the phantom is not really who or what you think it is. If Ted and Ron die but sue and Jill still see them , I don't think its really them. Just an image burned into our reality . oh shit simulation theory ahhhhhhhhhhhh
+Sove Riegn Thanks, but I have to disagree with you concerning our reality being held together by nuclear fission. I believe it to be electromagnetic forces and I believe there are probably only three forces of nature and not four as follows: 1. In school with magnetism, we are taught that opposite polarities attract and like polarities repel. But inside the arc of a horseshoe magnet it's the other way around, like polarities attract and opposite polarities repel. 2. Charged particles have an associated magnetic field with them. 3. Electrons and protons are charged particles and have their associated magnetic fields with them. 4. When the electron is in an atom at the very close proximity to the nucleus, it basically generates a 360 degree spherical magnetic field. 5. Like charged protons stick together inside this field, while repelling the opposite charged electrons inside this field, while simultaneously attracting the opposite charged electrons across the inner portion of the electron's moving magnetic field. 6. There are probably no such thing as "gluons". 7. There are probably only three forces of nature and not four. Two of them, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, are derivatives of the magnetic field interactions between the electrons and protons. 8. The nucleus is probably a magnetic field boundary. 9. Quarks also supposedly have a charge and then would also probably have an associated magnetic field with them. Possibly a different magnetic field and/or arrangement for each of the six different type of quarks. 10. The interaction of the quarks electromagnetic forces are how protons and neutrons are created and why protons and neutrons stick together inside a nucleus and do not just pass through as neutrinos do. 11. There is probably a Magnetic Field Theory to the Atomic Structure. But, as I truly do not know what I do not know, I will be the first to admit that I could be wrong. But, it sure does seem to fit.
+Charles Brightman I used to know a guy like you that said he wanted the truth and was curious but after a while I realized he was in it only as an edifice of distraction and entertainment.

+Donald Baker sorry your revolted but this conversation was better than the one I had with two people further up on the comment section. I was just messing around and it snowballed I to someone with issues on sarcasm. well I do like the idea behind the comments you both left. just don't be so serious with people who no matter what will believe what they want. also he did say he can be wrong. its apart of existence of humans to have errors.
+Sove Riegn Your incessant need to hero and insult two men having a conversation over your head annoys me. Take your SJW white knighting to a more layman comment thread. You are in the way and irrelevant. Go cry-bully someone who cares.
I think that some people just can't handle the thought that something that is unproven, might be provable at some point. Remember when Rogue Waves were a myth? What about the Giant Squid? We now know those are true, but before you were "a fool".
Before i get this comment my chest i have to explain first i am a person who will try to look at religion/spirituality/psychic/Aliens with a scientific, sceptic but open mind. (if that makes any difference to how you read my comment ill take it) Okay i have got to get this off my chest. Any Psychic, Clairvoyant, Healer or any one who claims they are into spiritual stuff, If they go openly into the public eye through whatever media or form that may be and claims that they can 100% guarantee that they can do fancy stuff like bend spoons and cure tumours or talk with the dead first time, without any other tries are MOSTLY fake, They seek success by exploiting peoples interests so that they can gain money and fame and that makes me sick to my stomach. Now i don't know how you can find honest Psychics or clairvoyants without having the slightest connection with them in some way (for me they were all my mums Friends/acquaintances) however all my friends so far in the spiritual way of things have never sought fame, or guaranteed 100% that something will happen and will never force someone to believe them.
My gf thinks too much about ghosts and that they are targeting her,breathing on her face and living with her. She gets horrible nightmares since she was a kid and i dont believe in paranormal activity and ghosts, i feel so bad everyday for her, how can i help her?? Shes skeptical about religion but not about evil spirits *sigh*. If you have ideas or sources that help her be at least skeptical about this please share your thoughts with me i need them
She either has a medical condition :psychological, neurological, allergies,etc. or you should watch Sixth Sense and research: Waking Life, Manifesting the Mind, TED meditation- lucid dreaming- fasting- banned, binaural beats, tummo, tulpa, lung-gom-pa, yoga nidra, natural law, science of lucid dreaming, secret teachings of Jesus, Robert Waggoner, Stephen LaBerge, Sandra Postel, Tom Campbell Bruce Lipton interview, Bob Monroe, Edgar Cayce, Brian Weiss, Louise Hay, Nick Bostrom, Edward Fredkin, James Gates, Lisa Rankin, Daniel Amen, Neal Barnard
Thank you. We'd be light years farther in our evolution if we could get over our own fear and small mindedness. Miracles are only mystical in nature until they are explained and science is only fact until it's again not. On and on. It's a shame so much life is wasted and destroyed for not.
The randy million dollar challenge isn't the best tool to disprove paranormal abilities. All it proves is that he protected his money. Not that the paranormal is nonexistent.
please get rid of those annoying boxes - were not idiots we know what the annotation feature is for and it means you have a choice in the way we watch videos
I like them. They look a lot better than those red annotation boxes. Annotations don't work on mobile either. I'd rather them make it smaller, than remove it entirely.

In the case of a so called haunting I would approach it like a water leak or something , what are the patterns and what actual substance is causing it etc. i can throw a cup across the room but a better approach to understanding me doing this would be the fact that it’s (me) is a composite of carbon based atoms that is dense enough to create the energy needed to traject and object.

Tila Tequila really does think the earth is flat lol. Her Twitter rant is hilarious! Some folks are so dumb there funny, and a little sad.
I did not understood what was the point related with magical thinking. And why is the fun coming from watching a magic trick in the same video with scientists studying paranormal events?
Finally someone with a balanced view on things
there is always these 2 things to remember & study: science(physics, chemistry etc.) and paranormal(creatures, religion, etc.)
Paranormal can blend well with science
Religion is Supernatural not paranormal btw
Have you done a series on Eastern medicine? That would be awesome!
It fuels poaching
Please do a series on batteries, they're super interesting.
make a show about the deep web
is that the real sasha grey?
If it is, she's got alot if copyright infringement on her channel... probably not too smart for someone of her stature.
+Sasha Grey They already did on testtube.
Thank you for your site. I have been able to learn much about different topics.
I really like what he talks about believes right here. I just want a person who look at things intelligently rather just go with there belief system.
how about the whole podcast be put on SoundCloud too? Only old people use iTunes.
I believe that faith healing is actually possible, because I know many people who got healed, and I know healers!
RWF1984, they do, but they cannot pray for someone who does not want them to pray for them. That has something to do with privacy!
RWF1984, I personally know multiple people who got healed after prayer!
RWF1984, I can vouch for that, as I know that some of them were told that they would be dead within a month!
RWF1984, some of them did, indeed, have treatment. A doctor does not just 'guess' that you have only days to live, though...
+Micha Ouwens I also believe in faith healing and paranormal staff.
Coffee!!! Do a series on coffee.
So for you "paranormal" just means "not yet explained". But for others it means "explainable by mysticism, but not by science". Or "unexplainable even in principle".
If you speak to ghosthunters of ESP enthusiasts, they don't _want_ an explanation. They want to believe in magic.
Yeah and if it wasn't for the handful of critical rational curious minds then we would still be living in grass huts or in trees and dying at 25 of rickets.
+Stefan Travis don't blanket everyone into one category just because you don't like their beliefs. I believe in esp, but that doesn't mean I think it's not a scientific thing. I've experienced the sense of feeling someone looking at you when you thought you were alone, that doesn't mean it was magic, I could just be "brain waves" that travel and somehow allow one persons thoughts to picked up by another's focusing on them as if our consciousness is all one by existence and that it's apart of reality itself.
The same thing goes for ghost. A scientific explanation could be that extraterrestrial beings use technology so advanced, allowing them to go into different dimensions or plains of space, that humans thought these occurrences were supernatural or divine and that these beings were "spirits" or "angels".
grass hopper Science deals in what is definable and observable. The "brainwaves" you posit are neither, ditto your "different dimensions or plains of space".
The "technology so advanced" is the old science fiction handwave used to "explain" the fictional physics of Star Trek.
Giving magic a sciency sounding name doesn't stop it being magic.
+Stefan Travis What do you not understand about the idea of something like esp being real but is something we don't understand because it's out of our knowledge of science, magic isn't real so if people have premonitions of things that were yet to happen then it's scientific, there's no such thing as magic.
+grass hopper Check this out. Our neo cortex is pico seconds behind the actual sensory stimuli and said stimuli are occurring at the speed of light and sound which are not instantaneous although they are extremely quick. To keep our perception in the moment and in doing so helping us survive and react The other segments of our brain have to process and anticipate probabilities before they coalesce into virtual certainty. This is a fact of neuroscience. Probabilities are coalescing at a vector to our conscious perception, anticipating and telling our conscious region of the brain the story of what happened. There is a lag but also to some degree our subconscious mind is perceiving things that are in the future from our perspective.
this is very informative. thank you!
I like your beard but where's your nose?
Yeah like Joachim low Germany's coach in last world cup he kept wearing the same freaking suit never even washed it these are his words ...He said: “I’m not driven by superstition but the coaching staff want me to wear the blue sweater because we always score four goals when I do. It is becoming almost a running gag. People keep going on about it.“I’m not even allowed to wash it now even though I’ve worn it several times. I think I will wear it again against Spain.”Germany won the world cup but we look at it today and think hey that's paranormal maybe low's Germs spread to spain's players effecting their overall performance ? but we never know
I think that it's important to get the truth about paranormal activities. Especially about whether we live on after death which I believe is the one important question that humanity has questioned since we evolved consciousness. Why there are legitimate scientific teams out there researching this is most confusing.
Lmao please tell me when humans evolved consciously u see the world u live in murder, rape, war, homosexuality, but I forgot science can't explain good or evil or the importance of morals
Paranormal is extremely powerful.
Person who will prove paranormal will become the most powerful person
There is no way to know what knowledge would be gained from studying or researching a topic. Which, in my mind, makes any field valid.
There's actually a disturbing amount of people that still think the world is flat, and I'm not talking about third world countries the people aren't taught any better either...
watch the first four so that it makes more sense?! ... youre freaking me out man.
ESP is 100% real, that's why tons of people had visions and premotions about the titanic sinking and 911 occurring, a lot of people knew something bad was gonna happen and refused to board the ship. And in my opinion, "spirits" are actually extraterrestrial beings that have visited us for much of human history and that they are capable of going into different dimensions, or a "spirit" world, and were misinterpreted by humans as being something supernatural or divine.
+grass hopper I have unlocked all dragon souls
Can I control the dice if I throw them extremely softly? If that works how can we determine what soft and hard is?
Well for one thing, people have always had the concept of psychics and knowing the future. Perhaps maybe there is a slight inherent tendency for people to gain knowledge from one another, perhaps it's just part of wanting to know more about each other and the future. Either way, if someone is able to do these things then they can, if they can't they can't. We can't study it until or unless someone comes forward and can prove it scientifically. If we can't then so be it. But if we can, that's where we can learn things. If not then we can put attention elsewhere. If so then this can be taken to forward elsewhere.
crazy video,! def looping
Utilizing modern science:
1. Modern science says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Hence, energy is eternally existent or modern science is wrong.
2. Modern science says that we have cells that come into existence on a daily basis inside of our body.
So, since I have a body with energy and cells in it:
A part of me is eternally existent and a part of me is being born anew on a daily basis. My body extends from eternity past until now. I exist in the "eternal now". Rising to a higher level of thought, the "now" that I exist in (which extends from eternity past until now), is "eternal". I am currently an eternally consciously existent being with choices, (basically at "God's" basic level). And this applies to you too.
Modern science says that a singular mass "banged" which then went on to create the forces of nature that the universe operates by as well as everything in existence in the universe, including me and my consciousness. I am a very part of that mass that "banged" which existed before this universe existed. And this applies to you too.
[But then again, does anything at all even exist per se, or does only this singular mass that banged exist in the form of all things? How could I ever cease to exist if "I" never ever existed at all in the first place? This singular mass that banged, that has a consciousness, (as evidenced by the consciousness "you" and "I" apparently are experiencing), is existing as all things.]
Personally to me:
"Space" is pure energy itself. Wherever space is, energy is. Wherever energy is, space is.
"Time" is the flow of that energy.
I am a very part of space and time itself. And this applies to you too.
And what exactly of the placebo effect and utilization of visualization techniques? Mind over matter? Just energy interacting with energy primarily by utilizing energy frequencies? I believe so. Everything in this universe is basically energy interacting with energy. Learn about energy and how to manipulate energy as the basis for learning about everything in existence in this universe.
Appears the truth is too harsh for some so my previous comments have been deleted. I used to know a guy like you that said he wanted the truth and was curious but after a while I realized he was in it only as an edifice of distraction and entertainment. He enjoyed fantasy and was OK to relegate loose ends to faith. He didn't truly understand the scientific method nor did he have the will or education to understand proper science. He was content with satisfying his own comfortable conclusions and ignoring anything that contradicted them. Enjoy your wishy-washy feel good "answers", go stroke your ego. I am revolted by your lack of sincerity ot understanding and truth. You make decisions based on emotion instead of factual data and logic. You're no different then the theists and new agers.
+Donald Baker Whatever, life itself is just an illusion anyway from the human perspective as far as eternity is concerned. One day we all consciously die from something, forget everything we ever knew and experienced, and then one day in future eternity are forgotten. So, our true destiny is to cease to exist, forget everything, and then are forgotten. (Or so it currently appears). If you or anybody else out there in internet land has any evidence to the contrary, please post it here. I am enjoying my illusion, hope you do the same. But, really, I don't care if you do or not. To real for you?
+Charles Brightman So in the face of scrutiny you are saying it really doesn't matter. Intellectually lazy or stunted?
+Donald Baker Life is just an illusion from the human perspective as far as eternity is concerned. We will all consciously die one day from something, forget everything we ever knew and experienced, and then one day in future eternity are forgotten. If you have any actual evidence to the contrary, please post it here.
We never believed the earth was flat, or if we did, it isn't from the time period most people believe, it's a common misconception so I don't blame him
I don't understand why people want to prove something that may make someone feel better, wrong. If believing a close relative or friend that died is "visiting" them helps them cope with losing their loved one, why not let them? Believe whatever you want to believe, as long as you are not hurting anyone else, whats the harm?
Leave believers in the paranormal alone. We may not be able to prove in supernatural things but we can't disprove it either. People that want to take away others beliefs are just as bad as the people that tell a 2 year old there's no Santa. These people just want everyone else to be miserable.
I told my kids (6 and 4) that their Grandpa (passed 2 weeks ago tomorrow) will visit them in their dreams "Dream Dates" we call them. To help them cope, so they aren't sitting there thinking "I will never see my Grandpa again". They saw him daily, he lived with us. Is this wrong? Is it wrong to tell my kids he is in their heart and will be there as long as they remember the good times with him?
"Why not let them?" Cause as Carl Sagan once said "better by far to embrace the harsh truth then a reassuring fable"
I think with a tourist attraction, it's not fraud. The people going on these trips know that the chances of actually seeing anything is almost 0. They go on these trips for fun, or, "just to see". But with fake mediums, they're straight lying to people.
amazing episode..very interesting
@DNews Plus Hey I reckon the viewers would really enjoy a video about Biophotons and how you would go about growing your light? Thanks
Amazing vid, btw i think technique is magical along with having the ability create!
Modern science recognizes a singular mass that banged as the formation of this universe and all in it. But, why would this singular mass that banged only bang in one direction? Wouldn't it bang in basically a spherical shape? Is the fifth dimension (and probably other dimensions, different dimensions being defined by the different forces of nature that they operate by, [even the singular mass that existed and banged did so before our current forces of nature came about]), basically a spherical shape that our 4 dimensions of space time rest upon? Did the universe basically all come into existence at basically the same time when it reaches a certain spherical level? But then, how high is "up"? But, since this video deals with paranormal events, can we interact with this other dimension that our dimensions rest upon?
And consider this: electromagnetic radiation energy has existed in this universe since basically day one, but yet it was only in the last couple of hundred years or so when humans discovered it's existence and started to figure out how to utilize it. What else is still "out there", (or "in here")? We truly do not know. Have fun trying to figure it out.
I like this comment because you give the idea that what is beyond could very well exist but no one knows yet. I think if it is real it must have its own physics to it. Our reality is held together by nuclear fission. So what about other reality's in universe's? I believe it must have some type of physics to it in order to exist. To assume there are no other reality's is very strange. I mean Multiverse Theory not heaven and hell ideology. Oh and for people who don't believe an apparition would have clothing stripped from them when they die? What if said phantom was just a burned image? Like old school monitors that you leave on and because you are to lazy to put on a screensaver, an image was burned into the screen. So from now on when you power down the last thing you masturbated to was still there. Could that be similar to people seeing a dead persons form? If so I still believe that the phantom is not really who or what you think it is. If Ted and Ron die but sue and Jill still see them , I don't think its really them. Just an image burned into our reality . oh shit simulation theory ahhhhhhhhhhhh
+Sove Riegn Thanks, but I have to disagree with you concerning our reality being held together by nuclear fission. I believe it to be electromagnetic forces and I believe there are probably only three forces of nature and not four as follows:
1. In school with magnetism, we are taught that opposite polarities attract and like polarities repel. But inside the arc of a horseshoe magnet it's the other way around, like polarities attract and opposite polarities repel.
2. Charged particles have an associated magnetic field with them.
3. Electrons and protons are charged particles and have their associated magnetic fields with them.
4. When the electron is in an atom at the very close proximity to the nucleus, it basically generates a 360 degree spherical magnetic field.
5. Like charged protons stick together inside this field, while repelling the opposite charged electrons inside this field, while simultaneously attracting the opposite charged electrons across the inner portion of the electron's moving magnetic field.
6. There are probably no such thing as "gluons".
7. There are probably only three forces of nature and not four. Two of them, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, are derivatives of the magnetic field interactions between the electrons and protons.
8. The nucleus is probably a magnetic field boundary.
9. Quarks also supposedly have a charge and then would also probably have an associated magnetic field with them. Possibly a different magnetic field and/or arrangement for each of the six different type of quarks.
10. The interaction of the quarks electromagnetic forces are how protons and neutrons are created and why protons and neutrons stick together inside a nucleus and do not just pass through as neutrinos do.
11. There is probably a Magnetic Field Theory to the Atomic Structure.
But, as I truly do not know what I do not know, I will be the first to admit that I could be wrong. But, it sure does seem to fit.

+Donald Baker sorry your revolted but this conversation was better than the one I had with two people further up on the comment section. I was just messing around and it snowballed I to someone with issues on sarcasm. well I do like the idea behind the comments you both left. just don't be so serious with people who no matter what will believe what they want. also he did say he can be wrong. its apart of existence of humans to have errors.
+Sove Riegn Your incessant need to hero and insult two men having a conversation over your head annoys me. Take your SJW white knighting to a more layman comment thread. You are in the way and irrelevant. Go cry-bully someone who cares.
I think that some people just can't handle the thought that something that is unproven, might be provable at some point. Remember when Rogue Waves were a myth? What about the Giant Squid? We now know those are true, but before you were "a fool".
Can you make a series about gravity because you guys can explain really good it. :)
You want the short answer here it is... Gravity is not a force it is the result of mass existing within space time
i wanted deeper understandings
+Iustin Check out String-net liquids, super-fluidity, fractal-holography, 10-dimensions of string theory.
+Donald Baker and Hilbert-space.
wow, i only checked some aether theories and relativity
Before i get this comment my chest i have to explain first i am a person who will try to look at religion/spirituality/psychic/Aliens with a scientific, sceptic but open mind. (if that makes any difference to how you read my comment ill take it)
Okay i have got to get this off my chest. Any Psychic, Clairvoyant, Healer or any one who claims they are into spiritual stuff, If they go openly into the public eye through whatever media or form that may be and claims that they can 100% guarantee that they can do fancy stuff like bend spoons and cure tumours or talk with the dead first time, without any other tries are MOSTLY fake, They seek success by exploiting peoples interests so that they can gain money and fame and that makes me sick to my stomach. Now i don't know how you can find honest Psychics or clairvoyants without having the slightest connection with them in some way (for me they were all my mums Friends/acquaintances) however all my friends so far in the spiritual way of things have never sought fame, or guaranteed 100% that something will happen and will never force someone to believe them.
Why is it that spirits, ghosts or anything like that always hide?
My gf thinks too much about ghosts and that they are targeting her,breathing on her face and living with her. She gets horrible nightmares since she was a kid and i dont believe in paranormal activity and ghosts, i feel so bad everyday for her, how can i help her?? Shes skeptical about religion but not about evil spirits *sigh*. If you have ideas or sources that help her be at least skeptical about this please share your thoughts with me i need them
She either has a medical condition :psychological, neurological, allergies,etc. or you should watch Sixth Sense and research: Waking Life, Manifesting the Mind, TED meditation- lucid dreaming- fasting- banned, binaural beats, tummo, tulpa, lung-gom-pa, yoga nidra, natural law, science of lucid dreaming, secret teachings of Jesus, Robert Waggoner, Stephen LaBerge, Sandra Postel, Tom Campbell Bruce Lipton interview, Bob Monroe, Edgar Cayce, Brian Weiss, Louise Hay, Nick Bostrom, Edward Fredkin, James Gates, Lisa Rankin, Daniel Amen, Neal Barnard
Supernatural is something that can go against all known laws of physics yet its observable and acts in natural world
Like psychokinesis or ESP
I eagerly await the coming technological singularity, The noosphere, our advancement into a type one civilization.
You'll be long gone kid
+JakeFromAFarm I've already taken care of that kid.
"Why Scientists Need To Study Paranormal Events"
Heh! That's hilarious!
Right! Scientists aren't intelligent enough for that
the side angal that you are siting in is an eye move try facing siting right plez
Thank you. We'd be light years farther in our evolution if we could get over our own fear and small mindedness. Miracles are only mystical in nature until they are explained and science is only fact until it's again not. On and on. It's a shame so much life is wasted and destroyed for not.
in order to study something you have to be able to replicate or test it.
Intentionally providing false hope is morally despicable.
The question is why don't scientists study paranormal events and make an end to it
The randy million dollar challenge isn't the best tool to disprove paranormal abilities.
All it proves is that he protected his money. Not that the paranormal is nonexistent.
please get rid of those annoying boxes - were not idiots we know what the annotation feature is for and it means you have a choice in the way we watch videos
I agree.
I like the little boxes, it lets me know what he is going to talk about. and skip to the parts where I want to learn more about.
My problem with them is that they're taking a big chunk of the screen.
I like them. They look a lot better than those red annotation boxes. Annotations don't work on mobile either.
I'd rather them make it smaller, than remove it entirely.
+Rey Arias But they're not little. Maybe if they were smaller.
Dude, this show its awesome! I LOVE IT!
Does it make me a magical thinker for me to believe that if I curb stomp somebody that they will fear me.
I read the study by the rspb. Where was the point of karmic religions promoted more complex societies? I would like to reread it.
I wish more people would read the Bible because it can give clarification and explanations for things like these.
well there's known knowns and there's known unknowns but there's also unknown unknowns, things we don't know we don't know
can you give an example? /s
For the same reason that they need to study Pixie Dust, Fairies, and Unicorns.
You know that someone is stupid when he put PhD in his nick
can you make a series about intelligence and NZT (the drug in limitless movie and tv show)
I can only comment on Deja Vu since that is the only paranormal experience i have had.
lol I love the shirt. Michiganders represent.
Love the shirt, i'm a Michigan boy too.
Blowing into a Nintendo cartridge is science.
Dnews you should make a series on vitamins.
+DNewsPlus whats the next series about?
David Blaine is one of those that....are just.........impossible to figure out!!!
"People who believed in those religions had better and more complex society." Even though some of the peaceful countries aren't religious and countries with religion highly influencing their society have the most issues lol
Ghosts are dark matter confirmed! :D
If there are undead haunting my home, one of them better not be the chosen undead, the have to go and link the fire. Praise the sun
plsssss do an episode about pranic healing
About the magical thinking. Don't people just do it for the fun of doing it?
Thinking about games in tv or dice silliness :p
I love how intellectual these comments are compared to comments of videos like Markiplier or jacksepticeye
