D. Dark Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Now, it's a well proven fact that even the greatest geniuses of modern times only use 10% of their brains? Thinking of our sub-concious, or just being plain creative, what do you think would we'd be able to do if we could use 100% of our brains? May we could become soothsayers, or fly, or do stuff like from DBZ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shampoo Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 [color=indigo][size=1]I just want to know how they figure that we only use 10 percent. I believe that if that is the case, then extremely intelligent people or mathematicians or something must be using more than that. I want to know what the studies specifically have to say about that fact.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A genius only has access to 10% of their full potential of 100%. Why does everyone think our heads would explode?

[/B][/QUOTE][COLOR=orangered][FONT=century gothic]But seriously...how do they know what 10% activity is? And does it mean that we only use that 10% for conscious thought, or what? You brain controls everything you do. Thought, memory, personality, it's the nerve center, controlling all your actions...

Kinetic Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Thats a good point, very good one. Confusing as well. Do they mean that all we do with our brain equals 10%? Or what/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you wonder, because if we only use 10% of our brains then everything we do is only 10% effecient. Which must be why everything sucks :drunk:[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]Maybe it's just 10% maximum that's avalible for us to use while the other 90% is what keeps us alive *shrug* Just a thought. But if you start using that 10% near it's peak...your body suffers (stress).[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sere Tuscumbia Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I believe if we used 100% of our brains, we would scare ourselves so bad that . . . heck, I don't wanna think about that . . . Oy . . . scary . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megabakin Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I think this means we only use 10% of a hidden spot in our brain which has unimginable capabilities. Ive read of people, who did psychic exercises while connected to an EGG machine. They generated unknown brainwaves and a reading showed that they were using 70% or around that of their brain. Who knows what the possibilities of the brain are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigervx Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Some researchers belive that if above 10% of the brain, there are pychic abilities that some real ppl with weird powers such as nostradomis and some guy that could take pictures in his eyes and the pic would be of his thoughts. they belive theses ppl somehow used more then 10% of there brain so theses powers worked. but noone knows how to tap into the brain.

ZeoMiraiTrunks Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 If we were to use 100% of our brains? Well I don't think it'll ever happen since by the time the first people find out how to unlock the full potential of thier brains one of them will be evil and destroy everything. I'm serious, with the things man has created with 10% of its brain, with 100% someone could seriously control the whole freakin planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddess21 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 [color=deeppink]This is a topic I am confused about.... I saw this question on TV about how much of your brain you use. The answer could have been 10%, 50%, or 100%. Then after the commercial break the answer showed 100%! So I don't know if that is true or not. I have heard that we only use 10% of our brain, but why would they have that question on TV if it wasn't true?? :cross: [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukazi Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 At the moment, im using only 0.6% *starts drooling uncontrollably* Actually, humans were made with parts of the brain controlling their personality's (Dont mind if i dont spell correctly, what do you expect from me this late?) and other functions, yet if we only use 10%, what are we missing out on? 90% of unused, untouched memory, space, etc. It is hard to imagine what we could accomplish with even 10% more...
