Do our brains possess the power for telepathy and telekinesis?

ive read of people who claim to have had these powers...even though they didnt last that long.

i read this ....

I think it is a load of $%#^ (self-censored).

Please tell me what possible mechanism causes this action at a distance. I always here fansical statements from these ESP types about quantum mechanics that only show that they don't understand quantum mechanics but are hoping their invocation will be able to fool the gullible.

If this were true, I would like to know exactly what kind of stimuli and "responses" these cells were giving and getting. What could make cells from the mouth react? Are we supposed to believe that our DNA are sending little radio signals to each other? That's the only thing that could possibly distinguish one person's cells from another, unless there's some kind of mystic energy field in all of us.

It sounds a bit like two other experiments I've read about combined. Apparently, cells from the heart will continue to pulse even after they have been seperated. If placed in a petri dish, they will eventually sync up with eachother. Also, it has been found, I have no idea how, that a certain type of particle (I forget which) and its anti-particle, even if seperated by incredible distances, are always linked to each other. Set one spinning in a certain direction, and the other will follow suit. It's supposed to be some sort of mind-boggling quantum thing.

If this is made up, could they be playing off those two findings?

Ah, no. I just looked it up. It's on page 165 of Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything. Apparently one can do this with any subatomic particle.

Here is the excerpt:

Ah. I see. The sad part is that I read that book, A Short History of Nearly Everything, and didn't remember the info.

That's okay. There's a looooot of stuff in that book to keep track of (and I haven't even finished it yet).
