No, not the Wincesters. I've been watching another one, Fringe.
( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1119644)
Of course it is only a fiction. But it does make sense how human (not all) can improve inner ability which is impossible to do, like telekinesis and pyrokinesis. And it is scientifically proved in that movie.
Our brain is full of electrical pulse, and it is possible to magnify the power so it can affect our surroundings.
I'm not sure about teleportation, though. Even if it is impossible to exist in the future, our body needs to disintegrate into molecules and reintegrate into a human being (which is extremely risky).
Maybe psychic is not mythical as we think. Maybe there is a scientific explanation behind this.
What do you think? Any opinions or infos are welcome.

Oh YUMMIE!!! Scifi geek talk!!!
I have not watched Fringe, but I have watched Eureka, Star Trek, Dr. Who, Haven, Charmed, Bewitched, and the likes.
I have always been fascinated by "magical" powers, no matter what form they are given - telepathy, empathy, telekinesis, mind reader, illusionist, witchcraft, etc.....
I am especially fond of the "techy" side.....mainly Eureka and Star Trek.
Teleportation is not something that will ever be a reality.
First, you have to be able to slice a physical object up. Whether it be section by section, or molecule by molecule. You cannot slice a physical object up, without physically slicing it up.
A scifi transporter does not do this.
A computer cannot deconstruct a physical object. There is NO way this can ever happen, because there is no way for a computer program to chop up or disassemble a physical object.
The second problem with teleportation is, even IF there were to be a computer program that could slice up a physical object molecule by molecule, the machine would have to put the object in suspended animation before it started to cut up the object, otherwise it would kill the object in question.
Then theres the problem of storage. There would have to be a storage buffer that would collect all of these molecules and store them in such a way that they would not degrade or get lost.
Then there is the actual sending or shipping of the molecules. Yes, we exist by electrical stimuli in our bodies, but that would stop once we would be put in suspended animation. And regardless of travel distance, velocity, or how the molecules went to one point to another point, there would be some loss...which would be harmful, if not terminal, to the object being teleported.
Then there is the reconfiguration. Just the computer program alone would take at least 50 years to develop, and another 50 years to run out the kinks, and another 50 years to test.
Basically, this is Frankenstein technology. You cant kill something, take it apart, transport it, and put it back together, and expect it to live.
The "transport tubes" on Futurama are more likely technology than a transporter.

I agree 100%, i think were all probably a bit psychic, i have NO reason to believe personally its mythical at all, just the unknown. You could almost say are minds are just as unexplored as the universe around us.

Nah, I don't think telekinesis or pyrokinesis is possible.
Yes, our brain has electrical pulse, but about what you said about "magnifying" it - there is the Conservation of Energy, so you'd have to get the extra energy from somewhere, and it is possible to "transform" electricity (which we've been doing for well more than a century) but this only between the manipulation of the electrical pressure, current, resistance, you know Ohms Law, watts, volts, amperes, all that good stuff. I actually made some electrical transformers myself in some of my classes, I wouldn't trust any of them in the grid, but, according to my ohm meter they worked (>^.^)
Besides, firing beams of electrons is not really communication. It is good for making some pretty nice microscopes, but not controlling fire or sending messages really.
Laser beams are real, and make things catch fire, but that is wavelengths of light - not electrons - and the human brain doesn't emit visual light and last I checks it doesn't emit the invisible wave lengths either.
As for the transport thing in Star Trek - whether it is possible or not - all it really is doing is just killing the person and making a perfect clone of them at another location. Human memories are wired in the brain, so they would be cloned along with the target and thus the clone would not realize he/she/heshe/it is a clone.

Maybe off-topic but Chase's post makes me think of that.
I imagine a kind of chip that catches the brain signals and transmit it with bluetooth/wifi to a smartphone which can interprete those signals.
That would be interesting for people who lost habilities to communicate (cardio-vascular accidents or others)
I guess we're far from being able to do that because of the brain complexity...
•
Interesting! I'm not a sci-fi guy, so I'm not familiar with those terms. If only I'd taken physics major...
In Fringe, our ability can be improved by chemical substance called cortexiphan, but I believe that doesn't exist in reality.
Yes, teleportation is impossible (at least with existing theories). What about time-travel? Is it true Theory of Relativity mentions the possibility to travel through time?
•
It is an impossibility to time travel. You would cause a never ending loop in time even attempting to mess with it, if it was even possible. Or you would immediately end time by attempting to breach it.
As far as empathy, telekinesis, and telepathy go.......well, I can believe some of it to a certain extent.
Science has proven we have brain waves, and that they do extrude from our bodies. I believe some people can pick up on these "waves", making them accessible to instances of our emotions and feelings for a few seconds.
I dont believe you can move things with your mind though. I dont believe you can transport anything with your mind, and I dont believe in Astral-projection.

Could you describe what astral projection is? Is it like ghost or something?
No joke. I did experience a strange thing. I slept over at a friend's room. When we woke up, the hanging mirror shook on its own for quite half a minute. There was no wind, since the window was closed. Everything else in the room was fine, except the mirror.
It was creepy, but luckily, I wasn't alone. My friend and I were, like, WTF? That was the first time I experience creepy things.

Anyone into supernatural power?
