Could Human Emotions Affect the Earth?

Hopefully the link works. A scientist is researching whether human emotion could influence the Earth.

He's wasting his time it was already proven in Ghostbusters 2.

A lot of rubbish considering the biggest cataclysms on the planet occurred before primates even evolved.

[Wiredmana]

Sha? No. Energies causing magnetic responses? Possibly.

[Lyriok]

This should be an interesting development.

[MerinPally]

Oh for gods sake... Surely these scientists can find something more interesting and valuable to research like how many fruit pastilles it takes to choke a horse. Or maybe even (god forbid) help out the space program/drugs trials.

Considering these "scientists" probably graduated at the bottom of their class, even such endeavors are beyond them

[Garnier Fructis]

Perhaps it could, if you applied a lot of imagination to chaos theory.

McCraty is an internationally recognized authority on heart-rate variability, heart-rhythm coherence and the effects of positive and negative emotions on human psychophysiology.

Sounds like a crackpot to me.

Well, if this is what science spends time on, then I am afraid of human development. I will show you an example on how Human Emotions affect the Earth, constantly.

- Man discover chocolate, chocolate is good, it makes man happy. Man produce chocolate by ripping up the earth and pollute the air. All to make man happy, and keep his emotions in check.

Sup science....

If we all turned blue and grew to be 10 feet tall then yes.

Corporations did that, a man can produce chocolate with a stick and a bowl using things that grow naturally.

It's funny because the people who look at these sorts of things and say "These scientists are idiots", are generally quite unintelligent themselves. If you knew anything about theoretical physics, you would be aware that the majority of things about the Universe and how it works are generally counter-intuitive to our understanding. (Ex: It is hypothesized that the Universe is actually 2-dimensional and we just percieve it in 3-dimensions or it is projected onto a 3-dimensional plane of sorts).

[thethinker]

And Corporations did not do this because of mans emotional desire to make things easier for themselves, or for selfish reasons?

We, the human race are making our marks on this planet and we the human race are governed by individual emotions, in which our actions are governed by those emotions. Wether we grow away from this behaviour is for anyone to say. "Vulcans anyone?"

Human emotion are already messing everything up, One of the biggest is... you got it. War.

Except that's an indirect correlation. The emotion itself does not effect anything. its the search of the emotion that does.

[Sinister Knight]

The only thing humans do that affects the Earth is upset the ecosystem; emotions have no appreciable affect on the actual planet. The simple fact that we don't control our own population is going to eventually bite us in the global ass when it becomes a worldwide crisis and we start culling the herd to preserve the race and the planet we live on.

[Wikiy]

It's just bullshit.

That's a hypothesis, not a theory. It's not even a scientific hypothesis, it doesn't provide a way as to how this could happen, it's just a nice thought he had.

The theory states that human emotions can affect the Earth’s magnetic field.

If this guy was a real scientist he'd know that a) human emotions don't exist physically and b) humans have nothing to do with, and cannot affect the magnetic field of the Earth with their biology alone. Seeing pseudo-science like this makes me want to puke.

[LocNess]

This sounds like the question "If everybody on Earth jumped at the same time, would it affect our orbit?" In all and all, complete BS.

Depends which scientists you talk to. Some say the universe is 11 dimensional. Others say its the carved out armpit of a giant. Or what was left after a really big cow licked a glacier that was lying about before the universe began for some reason. The cow has refused to comment.

This just in: The Earth is just a chunk of nickle and iron with self replicating bits of carbon on its surface. There's nothing special about. It's not alive and it most certainly doesn't care about the feelings of those self replicating bits of carbon.
