Hello all,
I have 'exotic" stuff for evaluation.
what is Your opinion about this theory of "dualistic biology" involving the "mirror matter"?
Let's leave aside homeopaty stutt here,what is your opinion of biological organizm creating copies of itself into the "mirror matter"?
These ideas are described here:
http://web.telia.com/~u59500234/
Especially interesting is :
http://web.telia.com/~u59500234/ED02.htm
and
http://web.telia.com/~u59500234/ED04.htm
Is it mere speculation/pseudoscience or something worthwhile,to Your opinion?
That I found this website by searching "mirror matter robert foot"
And the irony is that when I asked Robert Foot(leading author about "mirror matter") what he thinks about the thesis of the website about human body "copies" itself into the "mirror matter ,Robert replied shortly: "It's fantasy".
So,is it just one more exotic theory or something wothwhile?
Thanks everybody

I took a quick look. It looks like pseudoscience with a healthy dose of woo. Or the other way around. Woo with pseudoscience to support it.

If a person can feel his leg when it is amputated the body must have made a mirror copy of it with a mirror dark matter information system. That was my first thought and I still have the same opinion.

Do you not even run this question through your head before you ask it. Seriously try to think of a single better explanation than mirror dark matter.
Actually a better challenge would be to think of a worse explanation.
When you give up, google "phantom limb" |

From wikipedia follows that all these feelings have neurological basis - nothing to do with "mirror matter".And as I stated in the OP,Robert Foot replied,that idea that body copies itself into the "mirror matter" is a fantasy |

I don't have a problem with that hypothesis as much as I do with the word 'must'. As if there cannot possibly be any other explanation? If the writer can produce evidence for a dark matter mirror universe then let's look at it, but to say flatly and without evidence that there is no other way it can be is ridiculous in the extreme.
Move along, nothing to see here.

How about some that are equally bad? Such as the leg is still there, it's just that it's become invisible and it doesn't interact with matter. Nerve signals still work, though, since the chakras are undisturbed.
We could think of an infinite number of these kinds of "explanations". Is any of them better or worse than any other? Well, if there is no way to tell, then the answer is most likely that any given "explanation" is pure bull. |

Seems like a load of bunkem . One thing that gets me going is the unfounded claim that meridians exist. The proponents of these probably non existent structures within the human body state as a matter of that that they are real without any proof at all. It's like the belief in a deity , you have to accept and believe.After I read that I gave up on the rest of the article.
Best wishes to all from Judge Edward Bromley circa 1612 the witches' and pseudoscientists' friend. |
