my first guess was some kind of skin condition that gave him a insulated property... but then he did the thing with the neon tube so i dunno. If you look at the bit where he puts the thingy in his mouth it looks like hes trying to avoid his tongue, suggesting the resistence is restricted to his epidermis.

No, i think a hybrid would have like black eyes and scales, tentacles and acid for blood. but no resistence to electricity.

Is any form of human evolution automatically alien?

That is quite shocking!

(sorry)

Absolutely unbelievable, I'd love to see him demonstrate in person....vid mentions father had the gift too....hybrid or next step in our evolution?

I can't wait until he comes to America and tries the electric chair like he plans to. That's a round about way to get a live execution on t.v., as there is no way he will be able to handle that.

But is he alien/hybrid? Uh, no...he is a modern circus freak.

video removed :/
2nd line.

They never said how many Amps he can handle.

LOL! This will never happen. He probably just says that crap to get attention in the 'now'. There's been heaps of guys like this in Russia over the years as well.

I remember James Randy debunking them in a show about Russian Psychics years ago

IRM

It could be "evolution" but as I understand "evolution" --especially from Richard Dawkins, is that it presents itself in very "small" or "incremental" steps.

Now, judging by the fact that this guy and his father and brother have this, it seems strange and it seems beyond "little steps."

It seems much more like a leap.

Very strange.

He's a bit more than a "circus freak".

That guy should collect the million dollar reward from James Randi for proof of the supernatural; because while apparent immunity to the effects of electricity isn't what one would normally associate with the word "supernatural", it is definitely not natural; so technically it should qualify. I can't even think of a hypothesis to explain this; it seems to violate physics and/or biology.

Actually I can think of a very far-fetched hypothesis: his flesh is a superconductor, or close to it (like I said, far-fetched). Normal flesh is damaged by significant electrical current flowing through it for the same reason that hot dog in the video was cooked (a hot dog is made of flesh also); i.e., the electrical resistance of flesh is such that a strong current creates excessive heat from the resistance to the flow of electrons, and excessive heat damages (by "cooking") flesh.

In addition, the body runs on electrical signals generated by the brain (i.e., the nervous system), and significant outside electrical current interferes with those signals, causing loss of voluntary control of the affected area (which is why it is common for someone who has grabbed a hot wire to be unable to let go).

So we have conflicting phenomena going on here. On the one hand, he isn't experiencing the "shock" reaction (loss of muscle control), which would indicate that he is insulated from electricity, like if he was wearing a rubber suit. However, the electricity is flowing through him; it has to be in order to reach the hot dog, and as shown in the other demonstration as well. That indicates conductivity. However, conductivity through his flesh should be causing burns and loss of muscle control, but it isn't. The lack of burns could be explained if he was a superconductor, which is essentially impossible; but I can't even come up with a wild guess as to why he doesn't experience the "shock" effect.

i dont think it has anything to do with human evolution.

because i think there are still many things we dont know about our abilities and capabilities.the human brain is endless.he just managed to unlock some of these abilities

In the video they never showed his whole body;
only the waist and up;

He couldve been standing on glass or something.....

Keep in mind that he was in the 1983 Guinness Book. They tend to be rather critical. I'd like to read the entry to see what sort of details it gives.

Alien? The guy obviously is a burn victim. Look at him? He isnt any special genetic anything. He is some freak who plays with electrodes and was burned before he learned his limitations.


Id like to hook him up to a NYC lighting circuit. 277/480. I want to put a neutral with a load on it in one hand, and ground his other hand. That would be a test. These charlatans are playing on ppls lack of understanding when it comes to electricity.
