You should have said "let fire hold me back from trying to save lives".

Does the person temporaily "disconnect" from mind-LIMITED, preconcieved limitations, and suddenly move into a mind-POWERED state of manipulation of matter? Or is this being derived from a state BEYOND the mind itself?
Exciting to ponder the possibilities!

The idea of infinite potential suggests that different or alternate universes are created in which every possible outcome is played out. By tapping into altered states of awareness, we can track alternate potentialities and blur the boundaries of these universes.

If a person tries to do something that is impossible.. lets say break a stronger object with a weaker object wouldn't the weaker object fail the task? Wouldn't this mans bones snap under the weight?
Are we really saying here that adrenalin temporarily makes bones and muscle stronger than steel?
human bones ARE stronger than steel. you can hit your leg with a hammer, (just not hard enough to break it) and it will be ok, some bruising but ok. hit a steel pipe the same size with same force and you can crush it.
The human thigh bone is hollow but is the strongest bone in the body. Ounce for ounce, it has a greater pressure tolerance and bearing strength than a cast steel rod of equivalent size.

no way.
take a human bone in one hand, and a steel rod of the same diameter in the other hand and hit them against something hard until one breaks.. guarantee it's the bone that breaks first. lol
however, if the bone still has its human,
the human can somehow, sometimes, make it "stronger"...
or strong enough to destroy or mangle steel. lol

Well, as someone else said, yes it is adrenaline that is coursing through your veins during a time like this. However, there is something else going on here.
