Think about it. Isn't light+eyes and ears+sound just the same in terms of their "influence at a distance"? We don't feel that as abnormal or magic - simply because we've sensors for them and are used to it. But physically speaking light and magnetism are based on electromagnetic forces.

I actually heard about an experiment with magnets. They implanted them under people's finger tips or something like that. Think they left it in for a year. They were able to even detect electricity through walls as well. After it was removed they could still do it!

Tory Belleci did that in an episode of the white rabbit project and talks to people who've had them in them implanted for a while.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
