Even if we could:

1. Fix nitrogen
2. Do the Calvin Cycle
3. Synthesize vitamins, omega 3/6 fatty acids, half of the amino acids, etc.

We'd still be SOL because there aren't very many minerals floating around in the air.

Oh wow. I just read through every post in this thread- does NO ONE remember when this story appeared a couple years ago? To quote Mugatu, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. This guy already underwent testing and it was basically revealed that his claims were a hoax. I'm not sure if he's trying to prove himself again or if the story was just inadvertently recycled by semi-legitimate news sites. This feels really surreal because that article looks almost exactly like the one I remember reading ages ago.

Edit: Never mind, I must have been thinking about the 10 day trial... iirc it was quite shady, ended early and there was talk that some doctors were in on it, which rang instant hoax bells for me.

I won't say this is not possible. There could be a genetic mutation happened to his body that acquire some characteristics of something that live can without eating or drinking. Maybe he was created by underground scientists who altered his DNA. Who knows...

You would need a hell of a lot of mutations, including several thousand (at the very very very least) new genes. And then there's still the mineral problem.

Well I wouldn't think that we would have to revise all human biology. Just gonna have to add a text book.
Human Bio 101
X-Men Bio 101
I don't see a problem with that. Now I just hope when my kid comes out he becomes more like wolverine rather then anorexia man.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I wonder if this is remotely possible at all (given that there are several insects that can survive for years without water, etc., like that bug... I forgot its name) through genetic mutation.

of course its a hoax, there are people who've claimed this before and after spending a few weeks under observation they all turned out to need food. i don't know why scientists took him so seriously - the guy probably actually believes he doesn't need food, and he's 80 years old, why ruin it for him?

the only way for science to say that he is saying bullshit is proving he his wrong..

I dont think a man can survive 70 years without water, not even a month ,but this thing can be one hell of a long time in a dry state http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade

I really can't tell if you guys are being serious or not when you try to claim that since science doesn't know everything, there is a possibility for the impossible to happen.

He may have a really supernaturally unprecedented slow metabolism.
80 years is fake though ofc.. 1 month even, w/o water...
