The thesis is no longer relevant, because physics theory is not classical physics anymore if you know what I mean,
Einstein speaks of the spacetime being curved (not material),
light is considered both particle and wave (not the material def used in materialism)

Marco I do not mean to sound arrogant. I think of it as being polite but direct. But my initial response to you was in keeping with your own anyway. And lets keep in mind too on ATS we always attempt to shine light on the truth. Do we not?
Your posts addressed to me show no evidence to me at least you are someone with a degree in either a philosophy like metaphysics or science such as physics, let alone a degree in both as you now claim. And I believe you have confused my use of the word 'material' in my post to Unity you objected to - look, you appear to mix up "materialist" in the sense of concerned with money and attainment of things money buys with "materialism" (as I was saying) the philosophy informing science. Apples and oranges. If you had a background in philosophy or physics you would surely know that.
To those other points you make, go back and read this post
.edit on 20-2-2012 by Tallone because: (no reason given)
FMRI requires a strong magnetic field, to produce a atrong magnetic field you need a strong power source. Weaponizing it would be mos inconvenient, but lets say for a second they could weaponize it, just the wire to carry the electric current would be enormus, and if it were wireless it would make the opperator faint, so both the weapon and the electromagnetic field would be evident, you and those around you would feel it and the ferromagnetic metals would be atracted, so you would just have to identify source of EM field , change location and decide what you will do to/about the source.
About the last paragraph, it is just an speculation and something it is never going to happen, for it to happen all of us would have to agree on it, and that's never going to happen, collective mind knows best.

Let me teach you something about consciousness and about us.
Our bodies are just suits that our body wears, our body is the medium. If you put my consciousness in a hive mind (you give me unlimited direct access and influence); I would act as a virus and I would tear it apart. Consciousness is far less dangerous for control freaks, being "individuated" in a body that sparsed with full access in a hive mind.

I'll bite. Add to it the freaky experience of thinking of someone just before they call you on the telephone. Or family members knowing the moment somebody has had an accident or died. There is surely a link unlimited by distance. People who haves these and other experiences are not surprised when someone says "scientifically proven". For them it happens all the time and is (somewhat) ordinary. I personally hope I never get used to it.

The flaw here is that people may think of someone just before they call, but they don't think of everyone when they call. A one time deal makes it a coincedence. Same thing with not knowing the moment everytime someone dies. And it doesn't happen all the time.
