Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of humans surviving solely on sunlight and liquids, exploring various claims and anecdotal evidence related to this concept. Participants reference different lifestyles and practices, including breatharianism and the experiences of certain groups in Central America.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants mention breatharians who claim to live on trace elements from the air, suggesting that survival on minimal resources might be possible.
  • Others discuss individuals in Peru and Central America who reportedly rely on sunlight and liquids for sustenance, emphasizing energy conservation through minimal movement.
  • A participant questions the plausibility of such a diet, proposing that a simple energy calculation could clarify its feasibility, while also considering the possibility of unknown energy absorption mechanisms.
  • Another participant introduces the concept of intravenous feeding, suggesting that a liquid-only diet could be complemented by sunlight exposure.
  • There is a mention of dark energy in relation to the discussion, implying a connection to broader astrophysical questions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express skepticism about the viability of surviving on sunlight and liquids alone, with no consensus reached on the topic. Multiple competing views and anecdotal claims remain present throughout the discussion.

Contextual Notes

Participants do not provide definitive evidence or calculations to support their claims, and the discussion includes various assumptions about energy absorption and dietary practices that are not fully explored.

What do you all think about this? Pretty strange!

Greg! Yeah I've heard about this. Not many doing it. There are also B REATHAIRIANS who live on trace elements in the air...
hmmmmmmmm...

I suppose anything is possible... takes a bit of focus and a lot of luck... luck, that is, that entails finding a planet as diverse and abundant as this... or a universe of similar qualities!

Whats more is I heard about the sun/liquid carnivors who live in Peru and Central America... they'll sit in the sun... activating the Vit D that naturally occurs in the skin and the liquids of course can hold any number of nutrients... these people don't move much... they are conserveing energy...that 3way... cheers...

Really hard to believe. I would think that a relatively simple energy calculation could prove or disprove the feasibility...unless of course we absorb hidden energy that we cannot calculate presently. But, if this guy can continue to not eat for much longer, then surely something strange is afoot.

Not sure I can believe this one either.
 
Ever heard of Intraveinus feeding?

There's no way in heaven you're stuffing a potato salad down an intraveinus tube into your capillaries.
Its all LIQUID... now... just open the blinds a bit... and whallah...

Sun and Liquid diet.

you're probably referring to ... Dark Energy
I guess this guy solves some astrophysical problems...guess that's why NASA is studying the case
