When Your Vision Looks Like A Kaleidoscope




few days ago appeared in the world press that a small Serbian seven years, Bogdan, had the uncanny ability to magnetically attract a few things. Your photo with the body full of spoons and some videos with impact caused by among some gullible. It is said that science had no explanation for such a particular phenomenon and Bogdan, a rechonchito with cool face, had the same quality from their earliest childhood. Even it is assumed that electrical suffer when the "child" magnetic approaches.

As in the ship did not believe any nonsense to us, we go where Benjamin Radford, editor of Skeptical Inquirer and author of numerous books including "Media Mythmakers" and "Tracking the chupacabras", that he and experience tell us what the hell happened with Bogdan. Radford kindly agreed and some of his statements were published in the Journal
Latest News on Friday, February 25 .

"Little Bogdan is only the latest in a long list of people who say they have this ability. I've seen dozens of people like this, but almost none have been tested scientifically, "said Radford part. "The key to understanding this phenomenon lies in magnetism or some kind of mystical ability, but in the physics of friction. The skin is very elastic and tends to fit the shape of objects with which it comes into contact. This is especially evident on hot days when the skin sticks to leather or plastic. Sometimes the skin may appear adhesive for the same reasons, "added the specialist.

- What magnetism?

"This has nothing to do with magnetism. In fact, that non-magnetic material or non-ferrous as the dishes from sticking to the skin is proof. What they have in common metals, glass and plastics? All of them have smooth surfaces.

- So?

-The so-called "magnetic people" has a few characteristics in common. First, they have little hairs on their body. This is important because any hair that comes between the skin and the object will reduce friction. Second, magnetic people in the photos and videos tend to lean slightly backward, or remain more or less perpendicular to the ground. If there really some sort magnetism that will force the objects to get stuck in the body, the person should be able to bend.

-Bogdan appears without shirt. Why?

"Funny, but if the reason that the objects stick to the skin is not simple magnetism and friction of the skin, there is no reason to just stick to bare skin. The magnetic attraction also works through a role, and if the magnetism is as strong as they say, the magnetic person should be able to do the trick as well on the shirt.

- What is the mystery here?

"There is no secret or mystery, anyone who has seen a child with a spoon stuck in the nose has seen this phenomenon. "These people are cheating to find care or really believes in his powers? They actually think they have these special skills. Have to prove what I say is simple: at home, you apply a light coat of oil on the skin and see how things stick in it.
