Can human thought change the probability of events?

Question

I sometimes think that if I imagine a dreadful situation, to the smallest details, the chances of it happing deminishes, lets say I fly on a plane, and I imagine it crashing, with realistic behavior of those around me, and the news reports, and my funeral, and even my relatives thinking about how i said im gonna die in that specific flight etc, does this detailed mental scenario actually deminishes the chance for a real crash, like going to a store and buying a lottery ticket and imagining how u spend the winning, what are the chanes that the imaging and winning will happen? i know the mind and actuality are independant, but are they really? can the human mind affect the probabilty waves of our surroundings?

Answer 1

Yes. But not the way you have described. An example of how human thought can change the probability of events is as follows:

I think that I am going to kick my cat. Typically, I would never have this thought, so the probability of me doing so is a paltry 1 in 1,000,000 or so. However, if I am thinking about kicking my cat, there is a greater change that the event will actually occur. And if you were to bet on whether or not there was going to be a cat-kicking, you'd certainly bet more on the guy who was thinking about doing it, versus the guy who never had the thought cross his mind.

Answer 2

The Harvard did a study on this.
They found that the human brain had interesting chemical-electrical properties that could influence physical objects.

They were able to lift a cup, a fork, and eventually simple tasks such as tighten a bolt or screw in a light bulb.

In the forth year of the study they discovered that the brain is actually connected to the muscles with what they called "nerves."
They were able, using only thought, to send electrical signals through these "nerves" and influence the physical behavior of muscles, thereby accomplishing the above tasks!

However, many still remain skeptical.

Answer 3

I think that our thoughts can change the probability of events if we have control over the events ourselves. I don't think we can in the situations that you described. Maybe if you were the one flying the plane then it would deminish the chance - or even increase the chance. See where I'm going?

Answer 4

I think its possible to change the outcome of things with thinking, if it makes you feel more comfortable later to imagine crashes and stuff, then really there is no harm to it, So yeah I think human mind waves have a HUGE impact on our lives!

Answer 5

My instinct is that such imaginings would increase the probability of an event happening. But the reality is that our thoughts have no influence on external events.

Answer 6

This is only a factor in the outcome of events if you are a key factor in the outcome and you act to make an event happen or not happen.

Answer 7

Well, the Chaos Theory states that everything you do, no matter how insignificant, affects the entire universe in one way or another.

So, I would think that it is possible.

(Some people call this Micro-PK, short for Micro-Psychokinesis, the ability to affect probability with thought.)

Answer 8

possibly with properly-known documents of the previous and state-of-the-artwork laptop technologies , it will be plausible. even if this may very in all likelihood require the laptop to operate on "fuzzy good judgment" it really is somewhat complicated to create and ought to in itself require a sparkling technologies to take action.

Answer 9

the human brain developed billions of cells to make highly improbable things happen.

Answer 10

only in your mind.

though this somehow reminds me of my friend in vegas after gambling for too long said, "all i have to do is not be superstitious then i can win."
