有没有人能够激活这些才能
And have there been people who have been able to activate these talents,
无论是偶然 还是实践操作
whether by accident, through practice,
或者是外星人的介入?
or by extraterrestrial intervention?
也许进一步的线索不仅可以通过检查千里眼的能力
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining not only claims of clairvoyance,
还可以通过检查用意念移♥动♥物体的不可思议的能力
but the incredible capability to move objects with the mind.
北卡罗来纳州 达勒姆 1935年
杜克大学心理学家约瑟夫•班克斯•莱茵发表了一项研究 在科学界引起了激烈的争论
Duke University parapsychologist Joseph Banks Rhine publishes a study that ignites a firestorm of controversy in the scientific community.
莱茵声称大脑有通灵能力 他称之为超感知觉或ESP
Rhine claims the brain has psychic abilities he calls extrasensory perception, or ESP.
通灵学由我们所研究的五个截然不同的特征组成
Parapsychology consists of five very distinct characteristics that we study.
一是心灵感应
One is telepathy,
就是心灵对心灵的交流
which is mind-to-mind communication.
千里眼……从远处获取有关物体或事件的信息
Clairvoyance... it's getting information about objects or events from a distance,
不管是在另一个房♥间的抽屉里 还是在半个地球之外
whether it be something that be in a drawer in another room or even something halfway around the world.
预知 就是通过时间获取信息
Precognition, which is getting information through time.
通常来自未来 但有时来自过去
Usually from the future but sometimes from the past.
我们也学习精神致动 或心灵/物质的相互作用
We also study psychokinesis, or mind/matter interaction.
超感知觉是一种能力
ESP is really just the ability,
或者至少是一种能力存在的证据
or at least evidence of the ability,
以超感觉的方式收集信息
to glean information in an extrasensory manner.
所以我们有一个问题:
So we're left with a question:
这些信息是如何交换的?
how is this information being exchanged?
从神经科学的角度来看 关于是否存在超感官知觉 存在着很多争议
From a neuroscience perspective, there's a lot of controversy as to whether something like ESP exists.
我们的大脑 是否能够利用某些感觉过程?
Is there some sensory process that our brain, uh, is able to tap into?
我们的大脑是否能够更基本地了解宇宙是如何运作的 并且能够感知他人的想法和感受?
Uh, is our brain able to get to some more basic level of how the universe works and can pick up what other people are thinking or feeling?
有研究声称能够证明这些现象是真实存在的
There are studies that purport to be able to show these kinds of phenomena as being real,
我认为他们需要被认真对待
and I think they need to be taken seriously.
在英国国防部工作期间
While working within the British Ministry of Defence,
尼克•波普意识到 许多国家的政♥府♥投入了大量的时间和金钱来研究 甚至雇佣
Nick Pope became aware that numerous world governments have devoted a significant amount of time and money to studying, and even employing,
自称有通灵能力的人
people claiming to have psychic abilities.
2019年8月 他前往北卡罗来纳州·达勒姆 参观莱茵河研究中心
In August 2019, he traveled to Durham, North Carolina to visit the Rhine Research Center.
你好
Hello.
你好 我是约翰•克鲁思 莱茵河的执行董事
Hi, I'm John Kruth, the executive director of the Rhine.
- 我是尼克 - 很高兴见到你 尼克 跟我来
- I'm Nick. - Nice to meet you, Nick. Come on in with me.
我想让你见一个人
I have someone I'd like you to meet.
太好了 谢谢你!
Great. Thank you.
约翰一直在开♥发♥一种检测和测量心灵能力的新方法
John has been developing a new method to detect and measure psychic abilities.
- 尼克 这是艾德•爱德华兹 - 嗨 很高兴认识你
- Nick, this is Edd Edwards. - Hi. Great to meet you.
很高兴见到你 尼克
Good to meet you, Nick.
跟我说说 我们
Talk me through this. What are we,
我们在看什么呢
what are we looking at here, and, um,
你打算怎么做 艾德?
what are you going to do, Edd?
好的 这个设备
Okay, this equipment here,
它所做的就是收集我大脑中产生的电能 我能够控制它
what it does is pick up the electrical energy I generate in my brain, and I'm able to control it.
你是怎么做到的?
How do you do that?
我是说 告诉我你的真实想法
I mean, talk me through what you actually think.
我感觉到大脑能有意识的控制不同电流的感觉
I can feel the different electrical sensations in my head that I consciously control.
像刺痛还是…?
Like a tingling or a...?
是的 刺痛感 磁性的 触电感觉
Yeah, tingling, magnetics, electrical sensations.
然后 靠我自己 我学会了在我的手中产生这些高能量
And, then, out on my own, I've learned to generate these high energies in my hands.
举个例子 你知道什么是人类的神经病变吗?
And, for example, you know what neuropathy is in people?
脚和一切都麻了?
Feet go numb and everything?
我可以把这个能量加到他们身上
I can apply this energy to that,
大约四分钟后 十个人中有八个人的神经病变就会消失
and the neuropathy will clear up in about four minutes in about eight out of ten people.
- 你好像激活了什么东西 - 正确的
- So it's like you're activating something. - Correct.
艾德说可以帮助人们激活他们的免疫系统
Edd talks about helping people to activate their immune systems,
帮助他们处理身体问题
helping them to deal with physical problems.
我想知道这种治愈背后的机制是什么?
And I'm wondering what is the mechanism behind this healing?
这就是我们要测试的 对吧?
And that's what we're gonna be testing here, right?
这是我可以证明的 而大多数人却做不到
This is something I can demonstrate that really most other people can't.
好的 我很想看看这个
Right, I'd love to see this.
好吧 我把它打开
Okay, well, let me turn it on.
好的 现在我要握着这两个装置
Okay, now I'm gonna hold these two units right here,
它们所做的就是收集我体内的电能
and all they're doing is picking up the electrical energy in my body.
所以 从科学的角度来看
So, from a scientific perspective,
这台机器测量静电
this machine measures static electricity
- 和静态字段 - 嗯
- and static fields. - Mm-hmm.
艾德显然是在生成静态字段
And Edd is, apparently, generating static fields.
如果我想让它向右
So, if I want that thing to go to the right,
我推动右脑发力
I pull on the right side of my brain.
如果我想让它向左
If I want it to go on the left,
我就推动左脑发力
I pull it on the left side of my brain.
你告诉我什么时机 我就把它拉回右边
You tell me when and I'll pull it back to the right.
如果我说向右
So if I was to say right,
你会……向左……再向右对吧
you would... and left... and right again.
如果没有这些控制 为了明确起见
Without these controls, just to be clear,
它一点也不动
this doesn't move at all.
如果周围有静电场
If there's any ambient static fields in the area,
- 它会 - 它会摆动一下 - 是的
- it'll-it'll wiggle around a little bit. - Yeah.
我们想到的一件事是 也许这和施加给它的压力有关
One of the things we thought is, maybe it has to do with pressure he's exerting on it.
当他增加一侧的压力时
As he increases pressure on one side,
它会以这样或那样的方式移♥动♥ 但是 正如你所看到的
it moves one way or the other, but, as you can see,
他也可以在不接触磁极的情况下产生这种效果
he can also have this effect without touching the poles.
不碰它 我可以把它放在那边
Without touching it. I can hold it over there.
我可以把它拉回来
I can pull it back there.
在精神上 我只是改变了我大脑中的极性
Mentally, I'm just changing polarity in my head,
从一边到另一边
or going from one side to the other.
消除与机器的任何物理接触
Removing any physical contact with the machine,
艾德刚刚展示了一件许多人认为不可能的事情:
Edd has just demonstrated something many would consider impossible:
他用意念的力量移♥动♥开关
he moved the toggle using only the power of his mind.
听起来你走在一些研究的前沿
Sounds like you're at the real forefront of some cutting-edge research here.
很难找到能持续产生这些效果的人
Well, it's difficult to find people who are able to consistently have these sorts of effects,
事实上 艾德产生的连续效果 这让我们可以更详细地研究这一现象
and the fact that Edd has consistent effects allows us to explore the phenomena in a lot more detail.
现在 在UVA的研究中
Now, at the UVA studies,
他们给我做了详细的脑电图
they do the extensive EEG brain mapping on me,
他们把我大脑的与其他大脑的脑电图相比 结果简直是太吓人了
and what they've learned about my brain compared to all the other EEGs is just freaking 'em out up there.
我的大脑同时在所有意识层面上运作
Uh, my brain is operating on all levels of consciousness all at the same time.
通常情况下 人类大脑在不同的意识状态下会产生特定的脑电波
Typically, the human brain generates specific brain waves while in different states of consciousness.
但是研究艾德大脑的神经科学家声称 它能够同时产生所有这些独♥立♥的脑电波
But neuroscientists who have studied Edd's brain claim it is capable of generating all of these separate brain waves simultaneously.
当谈到我们大脑的脑电波时
When it comes to the brain waves that our brain has,
我们把它们记作阿尔法波
we have denoted them alpha waves,
贝塔波 西塔波 等等
beta waves, theta waves, and so forth.
这些本质上是不同的频率
Uh, these are essentially different frequencies,
某些类型与睡眠模式 或类似的模式相关
certain types that are associated with sleep patterns and things like that,
但是 确切地解释所有不同类型的脑电波总是有点困难
but it-it's always been a little difficult to know exactly how to interpret all of the different types of brain waves that we have.
有一种观点认为 超感知觉或精神致动或预知能力 可能是大脑达到了我们所不熟悉的层次
An argument can be made that ESP or psychokinesis or precognition could be where the brain reaches a level that we are unfamiliar with.
不是因为它不存在
Not because it doesn't exist,
而是因为绝大多数人还没有学会如何驾驭大脑的这一侧
but because the great majority of people have not learned how to harness that side of the brain.
有没有可能像心灵感应和意志力这样的能力 正等着被开♥发♥呢?
Is it possible that abilities like telepathy and psychokinesis are just waiting to be developed?
如果是的话 ESP是任何人都能掌握的吗?
If so, is ESP something that anyone can master?
在某种程度上 超能力是每个人都有的
ESP is something that everyone has to some extent.
就像你可能拥有的其他技能或天赋一样
Just like any other skill or talent you might have,
无论是音乐天赋 还是体育天赋
whether it be a musical talent, whether it be a sports talent,
每个人都有一些天生的能力
everyone has a bit of natural abilities.
但是有些人练习真的很刻苦
But there are some people who practice really hard.
不管他们是否有天生的能力 他们都会做得更好
And they get better at it whether they have the natural ability or not.
每个人都有能力发展他们的超感知觉
Everyone has the ability to develop their extrasensory perception.
因为它是我们DNA的一部分
It is because it is part of our DNA,
人的本性中有一种与生俱来的能力 那就是能够超越我们正常人类感官去挖掘其他的现实
it is innate in the human nature to be able to tap into other realities beyond our normal human senses.
挖掘其他的现实?
Tap into other realities?
利用超感能力是与外星生物联♥系♥的关键吗?
Could it be that harnessing extrasensory abilities is the key to connecting with extraterrestrial beings?
也许通过研究古代的光之一族的故事 可以找到更多的线索
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining ancient stories of the Shining Ones.
北卡罗来纳州 达勒姆
2019年8月
