[QUOTE="innocentfacade169, post: 3056291, member: 146374"] A police force here in the UK recently claimed their crime figures showed an increase in violence around a full moon. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/6723911.stm http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/crime/article2617460.ece http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/scitech.cfm?id=884302007 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/06/05/nmoon105.xml http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Police+full+moon&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GBfficial&client=firefox-a Seasonally Affected Disorder (SAD) is also fairly well recognised. In case you're not aware the seasons are governed by the Earths orbit of the sun, the moons orbit of the Earth, the tilt of the Earths rotational axis in relation to the sun etc. Maybe all obstetricians are incredibly dense? I didn't watch all of the video. In fact I watched hardly any of it. I wouldn't ever consider YouTube as an appropriate source of factual information. Either way people are affected by both subtle and strong influences. So it's really a mute point. No it doesn't and I never said it did. The point in using scorpions as an example is to show that there is a real world biological president for a different range of senses to develop. That being the case then there is really no reason why a human shouldn't develop a slightly or even radically different range of senses. Take people with synthesia for example. Their brains are wired so differently from the rest of us that sensory input produces unexpected results. Their senses combine to give them a totally different view of the world from the rest of us. When the medical profession was ignorant of synthesia people reporting their symptoms were dismissed as crack pots and attention seekers. It is entirely possible that some of what is lumped into the ESP reject bucket might be something similar. The perception of an aura for example could easily be the result of undiagnosed synthesia.
