I was told something and I always wondered if It was true.The person said:" It's true we only use a little part of our brain part of our brain,But if we used the whole percent(100%) we'd be able to do anything".

I wonder if that means we could fly,turn into things,use powers,move things with our mind,read minds,teleport to places,slow down time or speed it up,e.t.c..

We only use around 10% of our brain.

Perhaps the rest of our brain is just stored memory, but in ways for our brain to manipulate time and physics, I dont believe so

So there's a 50,50 chance right?

Yes, the brain can do all that.

It's called dreaming, genius.

i heard telekinises was possible (or at least knock stuff over with brain waves.) but i think your brain would start to bulge up in you head.

Peace out and :rock:

The "ten percent" claim only hangs around because it makes good hearsay evidence for psychic capability.

Like Meow said, the "10%" thing is a myth. We use 10% of our brain for processing and stuff because about 10% of it is made of neurons (processing cells) and the other 90% is made my glia cells (support cells). Glia cannot be converted to neurons, nor can neurons be converted to glia.

Saying we only use 10% of our brain's capability and would be psychic if we just learned to unlock the other 90% is the equivilant of saying we could develop super strengh if we just figured out how to turn our veins and internal organs into muscles.

So, no, I don't believe things that clearly are not true.

If that's true I used about -4%

It's not true. I'd find the link if I could be arsed, but it's late.

EDIT: Beaten to it. Darn.

Yeah, that always seemed unfeasable to me. I have been told all that stuff about if we could somehow manipulate our minds to use all 100% we would be able to do superhuman stuff. But no, I never believed it. For people that do, try overclocking your brain by making a hat of ice to keep it cool and lower some system resources like common sense, that should do it.

I think we only use 10% of our hearts.

I believe even if I tend to look upon things in a scientific matter.
Why wouldn't we have some sort of psychic potential and why wouldn't we have some unlocked abilities in own brains? The brain is a wonderful thing and you see all the different things it can do all the time.

Something I am quite interested in is remote viewing. Considering that intelligence agencies use remote viewers to find people etc. I think perhaps there may be some truth behind it.

I keep my mind open to the possibility that we could do some amazing things with brain power. Anything that can defy the laws of physics would be great; I really do hate physics.
