Amazing feat by one little man?

Question

Is it true that you can have superhuman strength by doing this?

This guy moved 30 ton rocks to build his house by apparently pointing a rock that focuses where two magnetic energy lines intercept, at his location. This in effect gave him added strength.

I think it's certainly possible and have found no evidence against it.

An interesting side note:

It was also mentioned in the video that most of his other techniques were unknown, and went to the grave with him. He was to of said that he knew the secrets of how the pyramids were constructed.

Perhaps he used this technique?

On his website this other guy mentions techniques of building the pyramids:

What do you think?

Answer 1

With anything like this you have to ask the following questions:

-What do the claimers have to gain?
-What evidence is there that his claims are correct?

To address the first, it's obvious he gained financially from it. It's a tourist attraction and always was. That's not to say people can't gain an honest living, just that it casts quite a bit of doubt on the claims.

To address the second question, the answer is a resounding "nothing", at least from what I saw. We have some legend that the builder probably made up himself in order to increase the attraction to his business. He "discovered the secrets of the pyramids" yet didn't tell anyone what they were. That's a hallmark of a fraud: secrecy. He built it under the cover of night and wouldn't let anyone watch his amazing discovery, likely because it wasn't so amazing. But since he died with his secrets the premise that he built it all himself with a secret method is completely not disprovable, another hallmark of fraud and superstition: the belief that "just because something can't be disproven, it must be true". Then I claim an invisible pink unicorn is standing behind you, watching you read this. It must be true, because you can't prove it isn't! See the fallacy?

If his discovery was so amazing, why didn't he do something useful with it? By giving himself superhuman strength he could have gone around helping people... with that magic energy-pointing rock he could have brought it to rescue sites and saved people's lives by getting them out of the rubble of an earthquake, for example. But no, he built a novelty tourist attraction based on legends he started himself.

Answer 2

I don't know about the magnetic theory. It seems far more likely that the Coral Castle guy employed the same simple principles of gravity that Wallington uses to move and hoist his blocks.

Pretty cool, though!

Answer 3

in diverse variations of the Bible ,Jesus is :The Son of God. Son of guy. Son of the daddy.The be conscious. The be conscious made Flesh.God.the 2d individual of the Holy Trinity.The Eucharist.Emmanuel. Yahweh.Jehovah. who's the genuine Jesus? EDIT...Jesus did not change into "a god"...Jesus became already God, the 2d individual of The Holy Trinity.Christians will say there isn't any aspect out of a Trinity in the Bible. in spite of the indisputable fact that the Bible speaks of a TRIUNE GOD it really is an similar as trinity.

Answer 4

Gibberish.

Even the explanation shows not the slightest understanding of science (magnetic field lines are not lines of energy and they cannot intercept - its physically impossible).

Answer 5

Good scientific video fiction.
