who made up these lame titles, lol?

tele, meaning from a distance, or remote

+

Kinesis, meaning a force such as push or pull

=


Telekinesis, using your mind to push or pull or spin or whatever, an object.

So how does cryokinesis work?

Cryo (meaning freezing, or in this case ice or cold (tis a prefix, not an actual word))

+

Kinesis, meaning a force such as push or pull

=

Cryokinesis, manipulation of cold??
NO. The other kinesis abilities should be

Tele
+
Cryo
=
Telecryo, indirect control over cold
wouldnt telecryo be better than cryokinesis, or "cold force"? just thinking in terms of etymology. cyrokinesis SOUNDS much better xD

All of the kinesis names use prefixes to show what they mean, and the prefixes are usually derived from Greek or Latin words.

i know. the suffix kinesis should be changed, because it makes no sense. telekinesis DOES.

But the way you are saying it, wouldn't "telecryo" be like "cold from a distance" or something along those lines? How does that make sense?

my guess is that cyrotelekintikic would be like rising ice and spining it around

why spinning around? and how does remote cold make less sense than "cold force"? anything can be a cold force, including snow!

I think Cyrokinesis is controling...matter with less thermal energy, or heat. I think ice, snow, cold wether is accosiated with Cyrokinesis.

But your talking about prefixes and suffixes. Kinesis means mind or something? 'Tele-', a prefix of controlling the movement of matter, through mind? 'Cyro-', a prefic of controlling ice, cold through the mind?

well geo has to do with earth so geokinesis is well explained.. so's bio.

thats a good point Frost but it sounds wierder so ill stick with ck lol besides you'd have to get everyone in the world who knows the term to change it

Are you saying we can control nature?

no Geok is on a very small level not as drastic as most think. in other words most think you get to cause earthquakes and natural disasters to do with the earth. in a way i suppose it is possible to do so but Goddess knows how long it would take you! and even then i have a lil doubt.

its basically just to do with well small things to do with the Earth.

If people used telekinesis strong enough, people could just telekinetically shift the plates to make earthquakes....Biokinesis would be like plants and the greenhouse effect right?

I don't want to create any names for kinesis, but I think if one were discovered, it would be fairly easy to name it....after what it can do .

Well if there is any doubt you can find on google for example what are the preffixes and suffixes..

but i found that first of all, Tele like everybody knows is distance and kinesis is MOVEMENT

so in telekinesis you move the object, in cryokinesis you alter the particle movement like in pyrokinesis...

and biokinesis is to control your body, like heart beatting rate...

err Hailo i doubt ayones going to be that strong at tk... and if they were its dangerous business to screw around with the techtonic plates... they create volcanoes and things too.

and bio is to do with re-programming your DNA silly ...

soryr im feeling really yuck and sick today...

sorry to here that arwen, feel better and when i said spinnig around and stuff i meant move, i just got into this so bit me head off why don't ya

Doesn't "bio" refer to biological? Not nessesarily the the reprogramnming of genetic material.

In any case, I think the correct use of words will go a long way to discount silly theories of abilities that seem too fantastic to exist.

To that extent of power I don't believe, but I stay open minded, and didn't you say that each molecule in your body changes 3 times in your life? So that could mean that it could be possible to SLIGHTLY alter it

Unfortunately, no, it is impossible to slightly alter your DNA. You can damage it, for sure. But to alter it would mean aquiring new genetic codes, and replacing old DNA with the new DNA. This process cannot be achieved by any means.

Hmm.. but nuclear waste changes DNA in comics.. It must in real life too! Must get to CANDU reactor!!!

Pants...stuck on barbed wire.....can't...get away....

Oh no! An atom bomb!

AAAAAAAGH!!!

lol, the one time the "F" word was used correctly was along those lines

"What the @#$% was that?"

-- Mayor Of Hiroshima, 1945

*laughs*

FOR SURE DUDE!

Heh heh...

By the by, are you just trying to get more blue blocks under your name or what?

err.. kinda.. but thats what happened to radioactive man, i mean, while we were on the topic of a-bombs,which we shouldnt be, this thread isnt titled "A-bombs and the "F" word"

Yeah, I kinda wondered with all the one sentence replies you were making. They seemed to be popping up as fast as they could.

lol well i want to get to RV today and i thought it was 100 but now i think 150.. grrr

Take a vacation out of this forum and go somewhere else like the UFO forum or Ghost forum.

Off-topic is entertaining, especially jokes/puzzles/humor, but I see nothing in there concerning Mysteries...

We went sort of topic though .

---topic---
My final words...the Kinetic Ability Titles should remain the same unless other systems of nameing is founded like when the SI Metric System(meters, cenit-, milli- tried to overule the Standard Measuring Systerm(feet, inches, yards).

Hmm....I think chronokinesis should be changed because really its altering your perception of time, not controlling it..I forget who said that but it was on the chrono forum..

you two are having all sorts on non related topics everywere,
