I am wondering if we will ever really fly in reality. I have flown in my dreams and it is sure not easy. But it all seems to come from the stomach. Sometimes when I'm flying I think "Wow, and Im not asleep." Except I am. Do you think its possible for man to someday develope the other 90 percent of his brain power and suddenly start flying? How cool would that be. Remember that street magician in New York??? Not sure where hes from. But he loses gravity and dangles in the air for about a second or two. When he lands he becomes really dis-oriented and sometimes falls. Just wondering.

we already fly, it's called an airplane

we already use %100 of our brain.

Totaly cool.

Hi Ex Infernis,
Sorry dude....Airplanes don't count. Nix on the 100 %. We only use 10%. Ok... Ok... I only use 10%.
Come on man wouldn't that be cool. What if we could do it. Except no ones really tried. From the ground up I mean. Not by jumping off of something. What about the Magician.

I've had those type of dream. I've enjoyed the dreams. And I'm half of the time, I don't know that I'm flying. I usually have them in the morning shortly before I get up.

Hi Moonprincess,
Yeah.....ya know, it does seem to happen more in the early morning hours. I wonder why. I rise and float forward like real slow. Kinda like a balloon. Sometimes it's just hell to control my direction but I get there in a general round about way. All kinds of obstacles are set up like lifting off in a mall and not being able to get out. If I'm outside I head for the mountains and usually find a river to follow. Do you use your stomach muscles to lift off?

we do use %100 of the brain, link

we do not ever use the full capacity of our brain at any given time. over time we use the larger portion of our brains, but at any given point in time we do not use more than 10% of our brain and of the smartest, most aware people only 12% of their brain is in use at any given time. A good example of this is we are only aware of a very small % of our surroundings, most of the information is deemed not inportant by our brains. I believe the number is 5%. Only 5% of our surroundings is kept the other 95%~ is deemed a waste.

Another point to support budhabee is there are still many parts of our brain we have no idea what their purpose is. Many people do not use all parts of their brain, for example i bet the "math" part of my brain is rarely used compared to the average person. >.>

And... we still do not know how memory is stored.

The human body is capable of fantastic and extraordinary things, unfortunately.. Not many people will ever pass the potential that they were given at birth. A lot of hard work has to go into breaking down those barriers that have grown in through generations and generations of human-kind that lived mediocre and normal lives.

To be something more than just a normal person, you have to have the drive. Not many people have that. - Do I think humans will ever fly? No. Not at the rate most people are going.

Isn't your brain a neural network?

Neural networks aren't designed to work all at once are they? From what I gather, different parts of your brain store and are used for different things. Using your entire brain at once would result in total chaos, you would be thinking everything you know and doing everything at once. I think that's what an epileptic seizure is.

Form Wikipedia:

Elliptic seizures are transient signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal, excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.

Of course you do use all your brain (or at least most of it). Just not all at the same time.

Also, humans can't fly because of simple physics. No amount of brain power will ever change that. They are heavier than air and they don't have anything that gives them lift. No wings, no jet propulsion. Simple.

Can't believe I even have to mention this stuff it's common sense.

Like this you mean?

Wow! Jet Man is fantastic. Thanks. I know physically were not qualified. But could mentality someday overrule physicality? And again I ask.........What about the Magician..........Then how does he do it.
Budhabee

Well that would be astral travel. And a lot of people claim they already can do it.

As for the magician. They are usually very clever tricks. Magicians don't really do the stuff they appear to do (the vast majority of them at least).
