My
Big Question
Imagine
a world in which there was no thought process. Where everyone one acted upon
impulse and miraculously knew how to do certain things. Until one realizes how
much of an anomaly that our brains act they way they do they then cam began to respect the complexity of it.
However though, have you ever actually wondered though the edge of capabilities
our brain has?
For many years there has been a myth going
around influenced by media and the unfailing faith people put into it that we
only use 10% of our brains. If this were true it would further impact my big
question, that if we have yet to harness 90% then there's a huge probability we
can and once we do become super human or something else that' is radically an
unreasonable statement. In fact though we use all of our brain, just not at the
same time. The brain is like your body that uses the necessary muscles it needs
in order to accomplish the task at hand. For instance, if I were writing with a
pen it would be completely unnecessary for me to jump up and down. It has been
proven through experiments and sudden illnesses people inconveniently get, like
a stroke that we use all of our brain and we need every part in order to
function properly. So what is the importance of knowing this? Well like a
muscle the brain can grow stronger. With this understanding the reasoning comes
that some areas are stronger then others that appear unnatural.
People also speculate that it is possible to
read another's mind. However, it is impossible to directly read someone's
thoughts. Although some think that we can't simply do it because our brains are
just to loud, and that through meditation we can achieve a quieter brain that
will allow us to hear others thoughts. However, we lack the physical
requirements to translate the electromagnetic pulses our brain creates when we
think, process information, or when we go through action. Hospitals place electro encephalograms on someone's head to read these
pulses in order to diagnose or obtain information from people whom are in a
comatose state of mind. Essentially the human brain is like a computer and only
another computer can fully read what is going on within the infrastructure of
the brain. Currently scientist are trying to test if a human mind can directly
tell a computer what to do with his/her thoughts. Even though we cannot
directly read someone's mind we are able to interpret what they are feeling
through appearances, current situation, and experience. Which in returns allows
us to make a great guess on what someone is currently thinking.
Others believe that it is possible
to move things with just your mind, called psychokinesis. This ability is often
portrayed through a super hero or villain in a comic book, movie, and/or T.V.
show. Such as, Jean Grey or Professor X from Xmen or like Galactus Battles from
the Fantastic 4. However it is possible,
Ninel Kulagina , a women whom was apart of the KGB from Russia in 1968, achieved acts of
psychokinesis in a controlled, monitored environment. First the KGB tested her
abilities on small things such as moving items through a plastic box, but soon
moved onto greater things such as affecting living tissue, trying to stop a
heart. So they tested her abilities on a frog and turned out to be successful.
Of coarse then the KGB scientist went ahead and moved onto an actual human
subject. Ninel was able to push the man into cardiac arrest before stopped. But
since the whole thing was top secret there is not to much information on the
subject in order to completely prove that it is true, but it does leave someone
wondering. A lot have theories have been suggested, but like a theory they
cannot prove it. Like how everyone has a magnetic field around their bodies and
the Ninel's was just unnaturally strong then others.
Sometimes though it is through
inconvenient disorders that the supernatural is born. Mainly through the
disorder autism. A lot of reported autistic kids are unbelievably artistic, or
math talented. Possibly due to the lack of part of some brain functions so
their brain tends to focus on what they do better, allowing them to exceed acts
or feats of excellence. Some autistic kids are naturally good at math and are
able to solve high math problems they have never seen before. Others can either
pick up a musical instrument and just began playing by ear without the
knowledge about the instrument. Either way, it is often unheard of among people
with out any disorders.
