You're a better man than I. I shut it off after the first 15 minutes.
leaffan said:Not to frighten anyone, but Gordon Michael Scallion, a well-known futurist, and another futurist who lives in the White Mountains of AZ, made a map of what the U.S. will look like after 2012. He renamed CA as the Isles of California. And the Mississippi River widens and separates the East Coast which he shows mostly under water. In fact, on the map, all of the coastal states are submerged, including HI and AK.

Cool. How do I become a futurist ? :lol:
PS : There were some very interesting articles/programs around the turn of this century about what experts thought 2000 would look like in 1900 or 1950. They were mostly completely off - either extremely optimistic about certain technologies (flying cars !) or clueless about others (internet, cell phones). It is very difficult to predict accurately - esp. the future :twisted:

leaffan said:It isn't really 'predicting' for psychics. They can actually 'see' what is happening in different dimensions/vibrational frequencies. Lay people, based on current things happening at the time, make predictions, like evnow said in his post.

I'm almost beginning to feel you take these guys seriously ...
leaffan said:LOL, you're probably too young to remember when Jeanne Dixon 'saw' JFK's assassination in Dallas.
Dixon is best known for allegedly predicting the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In the May 13, 1956, issue of Parade Magazine she wrote that the 1960 presidential election would be "dominated by labor and won by a Democrat" who would then go on to "e assassinated or die in office though not necessarily in his first term." She later admitted, “During the 1960 election, I saw Richard Nixon as the winner”,[11] and at the time made unequivocal predictions that JFK would fail to win the election.[12] In the 1956 pronouncement, she merely stated that a President would "be assassinated or die in office," not necessarily that one would be assassinated. Considering that three Presidents in the 20th century had died in office, her "prediction" that another might do so was not remarkable or noteworthy. By emphasizing a few correct or merely coincidental predictions, and ignoring all those which were wrong, she acquired notoriety. The ability to persuade the public in this matter is known as the Jeane Dixon effect.
evnow said:Ofcourse, I wasn't born at that time. I'm also a little too sceptical to believe in such stuff.

Q: Does participating as a remote viewer alter your perspectives on reality?
A: Yes. Many of my perceptions of reality have altered during the twenty-four years I've been a Remote Viewer. I worked in the military RV unit the whole time it existed, eighteen and a half years. I'm also one of a few participants who moved over to the research and development side of the project where, since the project was closed down, I've continued to participate as a Research Associate with the original lab. I also started my own company, Intuitive Intelligence Applications, Inc., in 1984. When you come to know that information is directly accessible to the human mind, regardless of physical access, it completely alters your perceptions of time and space, and our relationship to it.

Extraordinary claims i.e. things that contradict physics as we know it today need extraordinary proofs.
Let us just say I don't agree with it - and leave it at that.
leaffan said:Hmmm, I would say physics is outdated. It's all about quantum physics now.
