That perhaps the people who claim to see auras were in fact telling the truth due to having the right genetics to be able to observe this light.

- viraptor 1y agoThey don't. It's normal visible light spectrum, just extremely weak. Nobody can see it with their eyes.
- Aerroon 1y agoSupposedly the human eye can detect a single photon under the right conditions though.
- viraptor 1y agoNot really... https://www.technologyreview.com/2017/08/08/105518/the-thorny-question-of-whether-humans-can-observe-single-photons/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2017/08/08/105518/the-thorn... Or, yes, under ideal conditions, maybe sometimes. 51.6% chance of being right in a yes/no question will not help in this case.
- codr7 1y agoNobody is a pretty strong claim. Human bodies are different in many ways.
- viraptor 1y agoThis is like saying: "Nobody can jump over this 200m wall. - Nobody is a pretty strong claim." It's really beyond the scope of human vision overall, rather than "really hard".
- moralestapia 1y agoThose are ... two different things? People can pick up single photons, this is definitely within the realm of possibility. Btw, your level zero snark can be defeated by the "on which planet?" argument.
- markovs_gun 1y agoOr perhaps there just happened to be an overlap between the nonsense they believe in and some shred of truth that you have to squint really hard to make work.
- ochronus 1y agoThat's not even the "BS" part (for me), but what they "derive" from all of that.
