If the meaning of life did happen to be number, it would more than likely be 1.61803 not 42

Pretty interesting stuff. I'm trying to find some more info on it.


Is the heart organ responsible for feelings and emotions? « Heart Doctor's World

It looks like complete BS or a joke to me .. I was actually expecting to see the posting date 1st of April as I was reading.

The article uses silly words and phrases like "intelligence force" and, although it claims to be referring to science, there is not a single reference in the text. No link to any study. This should set off anyone's bs-alarm!

Life is an extremely brief window of light in a darkness that has lasted 13 billion years, and will continue into eternity. So you have to make the most out of that light.

It's still BS Note how these websites are dedicated to the subject. If something as mind boggling as what these sites claim, I (as a biologist) would've heard about it. Sadly, as far as I know, the heart is a muscle with cells made for contracting. It doesn't contain brain cells which are cells for remembering, feeling and all that other stuff that comes with having a personality. They claim the heart communicated with every other cell in the body through it's electromagnetic field, like sending little radio signals. No such form of intercellular communication is known to exist. If what they claim was true, heart transplants should have even more serious consequences than they do. They claim emotions have origin in the heart. That's strange since sensory input is fed into the brain which has a cerebral structure dedicated to generating emotions. Why would the body feed sensory input into the brain, then down to the heart, which is a muscle, and generate an emotional response there? It doesn't make any sense.

Really, don't help them kid yourself.

This is just one of the sources I've found. I think there's some good science to it and it hasn't been stuided enough yet to be so sure. While I may not be sold on the idea, I'll keep my mind open. I'm not going to disregard it all just because you said so.

The "science" part is just an attempt to legitimize it. It's done really poorly. Had it been a proper article and a proper scientific study, it would be published in a real journal and it would've had lots of references to other studies in it, easily more than 100. No scientific work makes unsourced claims like this one.

What's behind it is wishful thinking, an alternative idea which is meant to give credibility to telepathy as we can tune into the electromagnetic signals emitted by eachothers hearts. The so-called science and everything else in there are poor attempts at breaking down your logical barriers to the point where you'll accept such an outlandish idea.

But hey, you can believe what you want, of course.
