Hello, Can someone here settle a debate for me? A friend of mine said that if you hold two neodymium magnets 1" or so apart from each other with attracting ends (N-S) facing each other for prolonged periods of time (years and years), nothing will happen to the magnetic field. I stated...

What are "chakras" anyway? Hello, Hinduism talks of 7 (or sometimes many more) chakras, or energy centers. They seem to correspond to the nerve plexus' in the body as well as some glands. I don't what scientific basis there is for such, but perhaps I'm being too narrow minded? Thanks PJ

The brain and "dark energy"? Hello, hopefully I have this question in the right category... I was just reading an article about the brain and "dark energy". It was talking about how there's apparently a connection to the human brain and this so-called "dark energy" that makes up about 70% of...

I certainly do thank everyone for their quick responses and valuable data. But this still isn't making sense - we just think about it and it happens?? I certainly can't control my heartbeat and brainwave frequencies by doing just that! Is there some scientific explanation for how this is...

Ok, this is one of the things I'm referring to. You can meditate and slow down your heart? I don't understand how that's possible... but, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong of course. I guess an obvious question would be this: How exactly do you do such a thing? Another way of putting it, what were...

Hello Ivan Seeking, thanks for the data. Om, I guess I should have been more specific. I wasn't denying that theta and delta waves exist - I know that when you sleep at night that's what the brainwaves are. And I know young children's brainwaves are at that frequency. What I was getting...

Thank you, Greg. That too. One more thing, by the way... if anyone asks, "Have you ever even TRIED to meditate and do everything those CDs, tapes, mps, etc. said?" then the answer is yes. Needless to say, there's a reason why I started this thread if you know what I mean.

The "Science" Of Meditation? Hello all, I've been hearing lately from holistic practitioners that science has (allegedly) confirmed meditation is healthy. While relaxing might be, what supposedly goes on in meditation doesn't seem realistic. What I'm talking about is, swamis and bhuddists...

Hello, Some people have a bioelectrical content that is greater/lesser than others. Why is that? Thanks

Thank you so much for your dedication to my question, Vanesch. It seems like we as a humanity have centuries to go before we can even begin to identify and explain all of the pertinent information (no pun intended) when it comes to quantum theory. Just one last question, is there any way a...

What is "vacuum polarization" and "vacuum de-polarization"? Hello, Could someone explain in laymans terms what is being asked in the subject line and how one experiments with the aformentioned? What I'm really asking is, what relation to electromagnetic waves can we make to vacuum...
