It's really nothing odd. It's called "arrogance" and the whole "scientific community" suffers from it time and again. There was an article recently about a man who regrew a finger, even though that isn't "supposed" to happen either. Do you remember, you are reading new scientific literature? Not something that is already decades old, etc? Well, except for Jung's work, which is already decades old.
Yes, I suppose that would suffice for you. You don't even have to actually look at his data for this to suffice, either. Amazing. You are a genius, aren't you?
Here is the arrogance coming into play again. Since we never proved this stuff scientifically before, there is no use trying now, because it obviously must be false. Or else we would already know it! Duh! Case closed.
You know, I think we might as well not pay scientists to do any research anymore. It's clear to me from your logic, that everything worth knowing about life and the human body, and all the energies present in the universe, is already understood. Don't you think we really ought to stop funding all these silly research projects and things and just admit we already know everything? MIT should cut Dr. Tiller off immediately! We don't need to look at his data to know it's wrong!

I had looked at the data for the other man claiming similar claims
Oh please, stop stomping your feet and screaming this is to middle Earth, it's embarrassing.
Well then it's clear to me that you don't understand logic in the slightest sense of the word.
Basically, yes. You haven't even read any of his freaking work and you are already judging it as if you know better. Please.
You're the one who should be embarrassed of yourself. If we were in Copernicus' times right now, and you based your argument on the same "logic," you would be telling me that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Simply because that's what most experts believed. There you go. That is arrogance. And stupidity -- did I mention that too? Ignorance.....
Now the personal attacks.
You are just a troll.
I am done talking to you. Seriously, you haven't read either of the things I am talking about and you want to argue with me about them and tell me they're wrong, as if you would know a damned thing about them.
I don't know what world you live in but on Earth it usually does a little good to know something about what you're talking about before you set off on a campaign to debunk it, unless you just LOVE being stupid.
I'm an electrical engineering student. I KNOW what logic, and even math and science are. Vectors. Free-body diagrams. I can analyze complex inductive/capacitive AC circuits, timers, etc. And I have seen the data from this tenured MIT professor, and the data is good. Believe what you want, genius, you're all the smarter for it.

How are you figuring in a smart*ass reply as making your point of view anymore valid?
Btw -- there really is no such thing as a "visionary." The idea that someone can see something that no one else sees, is a blatant fallacy contradicting the most basic tenets of science. Today these people are simply recognized as "fools." "Visionary" is an archaic term from the Middle Ages, or the Romantic 1800's at best.

I still haven't seen any viable mechanism for the human brain to conduct anything remotely possible from what you or Tiller is stating.
Like I said, if you know of the mechanism or which paper it is in I will take the time to read it and discuss it.
If your refusal to state a mechanism or show where that mechanism is to be found is from lack of a mechanism, then my earlier arguments still stand
you can prance around being a smart*ss all you want, if you like looking childish and pathetic
And because you aren't satisfied, that's proof that you're right. Remember? We covered this already. From there, you are free to call everyone a fraud, or any other name you feel like, on your whim. Because you already know you are right. Like I said, we have already covered all of this. I know where it goes.
He actually just offered experimental data that proved other energies were present in the body that direct and influence EM fields and currents in and around the body. Biofeedback is already well-established science I was taught in high school in AP psychology classes. You learn to draw awareness to a certain part of your body, and lo and behold, small EM currents are generated there that can stimulate cell reparation among other things. People have also learned how to control body temperatures and things of that nature. Tiller's work was along these same lines, finding the source of the EM generation as it pertains to human intent and awareness. I guess you just need to do more homework.
They still stand anyway. If you don't know something, then it doesn't exist. If you can't prove something, then it doesn't exist. If you can't find the evidence for something, then it doesn't exist. It's that simple. You are always right. All of you logic so far has been spot-on and there are no holes in it whatsoever. No room for error at all. Seriously. How many times do we have to cover this?
You're the one who looks childish to all the people here who already know this kind of stuff and aren't babbling on and on about evidence and proof and this and that like the doubting Thomas you are, like a babe seeking a teat, when you don't even realize what you are missing out on. If you think I come here just to cater to you and spoon feed you, then you really got mixed up somewhere.
Every time I try to explain anything about this stuff to you, you automatically take the "debunker" route and try to dismiss it all out of hand.
That is why I have no interest trying to show you anything. It's not my responsibility to show you anything.
When you die, you will have to figure it out for yourself. I'm willing to wait for that, and apparently so are you, so let's just forget about it. Death is inevitable anyway so there is no use arguing about it. You already know you are right. I am telling you that you are right. YOU ARE RIGHT!!! There is no such thing as astral projection, we just make it all up in our heads and it's meaningless, a meaningless experience with no value in it whatsoever. Seriously dude, you are right, there is nothing else for you to gain here arguing with me. Move along, move along. I'm just going to stop responding. I have nothing more to say, especially to someone who thinks they already know it all, and trust me, you do.
Just to play devils advocate here, isn't it possible that the mechanism is not understood? Perhaps it resides in the brain itself, a organ that we do not fully understand as of yet.
I don't think that a mechanism needs to be shown at this point, and especially not by the OP, unless of course he has a basement full of equipment. It is something that lends itself to further research.
If, hypothetically, these experiments by Tiller are legit then isn't it possible that the energy in use is something that we don't fully understand and therefore don't have the equipment to analyze?
Just my 2 cents, just because an experiment can not determine the exact cause and the mechanisms required to accomplish the result that does not mean that the experiments results are null and void. Plenty of theories and experiments have gone years, decades, even centuries before the proper equipment was available to prove them.
