"Experts" reject Guru living 70 years without food. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Simplemac3;21948161]I'm not- but honestly, how do we know that they are twisting the facts? If we're all so sure that this is impossible, why not get him over to the USA or UK somehow and monitor him there? I mean, if he [I]is[/I] telling the truth, do you know how important that could be? Science is concentrated ignorance- hell, a lot of basic things today were recognized as impossible at some point.[/QUOTE] It is impossible, 100% impossible to last over 3 weeks without food. We know this thanks to some experiments in the past. Now this guy only survived two weeks, most people would expire in this time give or take a few days allowing for the persons metabolism. The issue here is that this guy has only been observed for two weeks, and there is no evidence at all for it. And kindly explain and provide evidence for science being concentrated ignorance.

[QUOTE=MadMaxJ;21939926]Some Hindus belive in Jesus, it is a mix of a lot religions. It is not unlikly that some belive in Buddha[/QUOTE] Buddha was a man, not a god.

Good scientists approach everything with an open mind.

[QUOTE=MadMaxJ;21939926]Some Hindus belive in Jesus, it is a mix of a lot religions. It is not unlikly that some belive in Buddha[/QUOTE] except Buddha is not a deity

I just want to know HOW he is doing this. Could clone him into a massive clone army that never needs to eat or drink.

[QUOTE=JDK721;21947524]There's no proof that he actually did that. All we have is, "scientists observed him during that time." How do we know they're not twisting the facts? Why are you automatically accepting their statements?[/QUOTE] Argument from authority.

I don't care what religion you believe or how religious you are, it's scientifically impossible to live that long. You can die in a matter of a week or two from lack of water, and around 1-6 months without food. 70 years is impossible. [editline]08:39PM[/editline] [QUOTE=davidofmk771;21950317]Argument from authority.[/QUOTE] Plus, the scientists only observed him for 15 days. It IS possible to go that long without food or drink, though you'd feel like you're about to die if you did that.

This thread got me thinking about this dude again... think about this: If he doesn't eat, or drink... it should mean he shouldn't breathe either, since he doesn't need to do that, right? [quote=Wikipedia]Breathing is the process that takes oxygen in and carbon dioxide in and then out of the body. Aerobic organisms require oxygen to release energy via respiration, in the form of the metabolism of energy-rich molecules such as glucose. The medical term for normal relaxed breathing is eupnea. Breathing is only part of the processes that deliver oxygen to where it is needed in the body and remove carbon dioxide. The process of gas exchange occurs in the alveoli by passive diffusion of gases between the alveolar gas and the blood passing by in the lung capillaries. Once these dissolved gases are in the blood, the heart powers their flow around the body (via the circulatory system). In addition to removing carbon dioxide, breathing results in loss of water from the body. Exhaled air has a relative humidity of 100% because of water diffusing across the moist surface of breathing passages and alveoli.[/quote] Does anyone agree with me here??

[QUOTE=Inacio;21939353]Try to do it then, faggots, get Buddha on your shitty labs without food for six months [editline]11:51AM[/editline] bitches buddha owns[/QUOTE] /facepalm Buddhism and Hinduism are different things idiot.

[QUOTE=SomeFaggot;21940538]I thought that was matter?[/QUOTE] Nope, that's energy. Matter can be destroyed, granted it will release motherfucking shit tons of energy.

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;21951270]If he doesn't eat, or drink... it should mean he shouldn't breathe either, since he doesn't need to do that, right? [/QUOTE] Right, because he'd be dead.

You guys instantly disclaiming this because it doesn't follow the 'rules' of science (of which many have exceptions or loopholes, for example effectively being able to travel faster than light by bending space), are just like the people who instantly said Darwin was wrong for believing in evolution. Lots of you are the same people who bash religion for not being as open minded as followers of the 'science' religion, but many of you are no more open minded than religious followers you claim are 100% wrong. Now personally, I don't think this is true, but it'd be cool if further experiments were done. If this actually works it'd open up a lot of possibilities.

[QUOTE=odeyseuss;21955969]You guys instantly disclaiming this because it doesn't follow the 'rules' of science[/QUOTE] the rules of science is empirical proof, something which Darwin had.

he's probably a dick

I remember reading somewhere about someone living for x amount of time by looking at the sun, I think he only needed water though.

[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;21954808]Nope, that's energy. Matter can be destroyed, granted it will release motherfucking shit tons of energy.[/QUOTE] Matter and energy cannot be destroyed nor created.

He is a zombie. It makes sense since he doesn't have to eat or anything for 70 years! Nobel Prize, here I come.

Why the fuck would you even want to do this, I enjoy eating and drinking.

For all intents and purposes, the Earth IS flat in relation to your immediate surroundings, normal building plans don't account for the curvature of the Earth, etc. This is because the Earth being round is an issue of scale, as your scale increases you need to account for more and more things, this is true for absolutely everything; in this case, this dude is claiming to be able to do something that has never been witnessed in all of nature, is most likely impossible to begin with and the biggest issue here really is that he's Human and such a drastic (i.e. Human to sci-fi alien) transformation can't occur in 1 generation.

During his 14 day watching period in the hospital, he actually a bunch of weight. Thus, leading me to believe that it was a big, fat, attention-whoring [b]hoax.[/b]

The proof/counter-proof ratio is currently around 1000 to 1.
