Aneirin -> 70 Years without eating and still alive (5/13/2010 3:33:04 PM)
A very interesting article, about a Yogi who says he has lived for 70 years without eating, even the military tested him over a period of two weeks and he was still living. Is this a good example of the principle of mind over matter ?

Someone needs to tell this man that telling lies makes your beard grow longer.

People from the subcontinent have been peddling this elephant shit for centuries. I don't buy it.

Well, there have been tests done and results due to come out in a few months time, but even for the period of the military test; two weeks, he astounded scientists ; http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.ce6e076d355a498ef621bad2bbef1a32.f1&show_article=1 But I suppose this might carry about as much weight as feats recorded in the bible, in that if this guy is the genuine article, then that puts a whole new slant on things experts have stated is impossible. I await the results of the tests, if they are made public, for I first heard about this guy a few weeks ago.

Actually this fraud's physical exams showed that he had eaten and drunk recently and was fasting while under observation. http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/05/physiology_explains_it_all.php

Read the replies the other day and forgot half of them. This is only possible under certain circumstaces. The age must be quite post puberty, and the person must output no energy, even to breathe, since full growth. There is no sweat, no tears, no anything. So puberty + age would have to be about 90 or so. Their entire life must have been completely sedentary. No need to even go to the bathroom. But then not eating ......... I find it hard to believe. They would also have to be in a chanber filled with the right temperature atmosphere at all times, like the boy in the bubble. Brain function which requires nutrients would not be an easy thing, it would have to be reduced to an absolute minimum, and the whole thing would be like a stasis chamber of scifi lore. Note that this list is not exhaustive, one would have to just barely breathe to conserve energy, and that ability is highly doubtful. From birth of course it is impossible, bacause you might be 8 lbs. when born, and then be 150 lbs. once grown. Where does that mass come from ? Food. I've heard of the breatharians before, this is nothing new but not one of them can really prove the case. It would mean lifelong surveilance or the data are useless. T

I wonders if because we live in a world of scientific fact, where everything has a reason, a reason calculated by theories that happen to fit, we are blind to what other forces might exist in our universe. Although a scientist friend says in general if it can't be proved, then it doesn't exist until such a time it can be proved and so then does exist. I wonder how is it scientists can function, if they believe everything can be theorised, it sure must be a boring existence not having the ability to dream about the impossible, for dreaming about the impossible has allowed science and technology to progress to where we have it now. At one time man had the dream of flight, that dream was achieved, what's next ? Is it we are so concerned with what is tangible, we can detect by our own senses, that we ignore other possibilities our senses cannot detect and there reason with our minds.

If I was living in India and had to make money somehow, I'd tell them that I didn't eat for 70 years also... and I am only 30 (another magic trick!)

I know you want this to be true, but it just isn't. As Ken posted above, the dude had eaten before being tested, he was just fasting. quote: Actually this fraud's physical exams showed that he had eaten and drunk recently and was fasting while under observation. http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/05/physiology_explains_it_all.php

At one time man had the dream of flight, that dream was achieved, what's next ? And yet the world's universities graduate thousands, if not tens of thousands, of aeronautical engineers each year, more than a century after the Wright Brothers solved the mystery of powered flight. Those people obviously still find something interesting about that field of study. I really don't understand your question. You seem to have some fundamental misunderstandings about what science is. A scientific discovery is never an end result, the last step of a process - it's just a beginning, the first step of a process toward the next discovery. I know many scientists, and I've never met a single one who found the world, or their lives, the least bit boring. On the contrary, every scientist I've ever known has found the world an indescribably fascinating place, a place that is composed of an infinite number of interconnected mysteries. They know that solving one mystery just opens the door to a dozen new mysteries, and they live their lives in a state of constant fascination, chasing these mysteries one after the other until the day they die. If people had genuinely quit dreaming about flight as soon as the Wright Brothers flew at Kitty Hawk (as you imply), people would still be traveling to and from the United States and Europe by steamship, looking up at the moon and wondering if humans would ever figure out a way to invent a steamship that could get to that damned thing.

FR Y'know, if you had a big fat MF who decided not to eat for a year and just live on milk, juice and beer, this would almost be plausinble. But 70 years is certainly bullshit. T
