Nothing can exist without water at all, he'd have to have magical skin that absorbed the moisture in the air or something, it's a complete scam.

Maybe you missed the food line.....sorry....

I don`t believe it, just because it`s impossible to do that. Same applies for the ones, who only "consume" sun energy and water.

so he's been fasting since he's been 13.
i'm sorry but what a crummy life.
i mean even trying to fake it would suck.


Yeah, seriously. Life without food would just not be the same. Not to mention of you had to feel hungry all the time and stuff.

While I can't in any way image the 70 years thing to be remotely true, I'm surprised no one is discussing that this guy had been going for over a week already with no water. That in and if otself is pretty incredible seeing as how a few days without water is enough to serious fuck up most people.

I saw this on CNN, it's pretty amazing especially since actual scientists and doctors conducting the study in India are asking the same questions too. If they can prove that he can survive for more than 1 month without food or water, the possibilities would be astounding.

I won't claim that this is entirely impossible. However I am pretty sure that if this is actually true, then this guy has basically not moved any limbs at all, and especially his brain must have been on a VERY low level of activity.
If he was able to even slow down the reproduction of cells he should indeed live way longer than the average human. However his body is that of an old man, so this can't really be the case. Which is my main reason why I think that this is a hoax: For the body of a 13 year old to grow into the body of a 83 year old, lots of energy is needed. Maybe he survived 7 years without food and water, but 70 sounds VERY unlikey.

So all hopes to use this for military purposes are in vain. This guy certainly didn't produce energy out of nothing. War requires a lot of energy.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

There could be something to this. Some monks can be buried alive for days and survive by slowing their hearts down, so I guess he could survive a good while without water. I mean Tibetan Monks can do a bunch of things people would conventionally think were impossible (based on SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Meditation allows you to do some amazing things, like walk on hot coals without feeling pain. I had a Hindu Mysticism professor who told us about doing that. One thing it can't do, however, is sustain your life. Hell, I have a tarantula, and tarantulas can last about 2 years without food, because they never move and their inner workings are so simple. But they need water often, as do all living things, no matter how much you "focus." Hell, focusing that much on meditation would probably make you more thirsty and hungry.

Total BS.

Yes, this post was bullshit, especially the energy to mass conversion part.
btw, lol at your nickname, I guess you know what you are talking about !


Er Energy and Mass can actually convert to one another... it is slightly more complicated than Sioux stated though lol.

I don't care what he says, the body is not capable of the photoelectric effect. That is just completely absurd.

but this guy's been doing it since he was 13. that means he had to have honed those skills by the time he was 13. also, as mentioned above, if you look at his body you can tell that he's (obviously) aged since he was 13. which would require energy. which would require food/water.

i'm just curious as to how he managed to bullshit the scientists into believing him. and his reaction when its proven to be a fraud.

Clearly he has some abilities if he able to survive with no food or drink since april 22. That really is quite a while.

I just don't get why he has to make up some bullshit 70 year story to go with it, why not just help the scientists by asking them to study what he does have, not try to debunk his wildly outrageous claim.
