Theory of Force Enhancement

Archive: 20 posts


This theory follows in the footsteps of mind over matter. The subconscious, in theory, can enhance one's physical capabilities, assuming it is placed in the right situation.

Say an average person is carrying an axe. Imagine there is a tree about half a meter in front of him. As he takes a swing at the tree, the subconscious calculates the amount of force needed in order for the axe to successfully reach/penetrate the tree, and thus tunes the body accordingly. Theoretically, no extra force is wasted during the process.

Now, imagine there is a block of wood standing between the person and the tree. As the person takes a swing, the subconscious calculates the force needed to reach the tree AS WELL as the extra force needed to go through the block of wood first. The subconscious adds the initial amount of force AND the extra force needed together, and again tunes the body accordingly. Hence the term "Force Enhancement".

The amount of force that is resulted would be an amount that the person is not capable of producing had the block of wood not been in place. In other words, the person could not have produced this much force if he wasn't in the right situation.

Another example of such is vocal projection. Theoretically, when one speaks to an other, they do not stop to think about the distance between them, yet the average human being projects the right amount of vocal force when communicating. It comes naturally for a person to scream if the other is at a far distance. This is so, because, as previously mentioned, the subconscious calculates the amount of force needed for the task at hand. The further the distance, the more extra force is needed.

If two people were standing two metres away from one another, they may very well find it just a bit harder to project more force than needed in order to effectively communicate.

As previously mentioned, given the right situation, the subconscious can very well enhance one's physical capabilities, via the direct enhancement of force.

An interesting point. Especially when you put it in perspective of speaking. I mean, you consistently "test" your strength as a child, this much is obvious, you do it automatically, but it still happens, but it is difficult to "test" your vocals , as it is always subjective, who you are talking to, your environment and your distance, this seems an automated reaction. Interesting read.2008-09-26 09:14:00

It is interesting, considering I thought about this while I was half asleep this morning xD

I'm glad you enjoyed reading it...it is purely theoretical, and I would really like to know if this theory of mine can be proved! =D

I think what would be interesting is seeing if it were proved, the ability to trick your brain into being able to "unleash" more strength than you need to. Thinking of rare cases of hysterical strength in opportune moments, such as when people have managed to lift things they shouldn't be able to in order to help rescue a loved one, that kind of strength could, potentially be tapped into in an everyday situation...2008-09-26 09:56:00

Indeed...I believe one way of harnessing this type of force, would be to imagine "that block of wood", by believing it is there, you might just trick your subconsiouc into false calulation and tuning, thus adding that extra force. Of course, it isn't going to be as easy as that, for if it was, I believe that this theory would have been thought of and proved a long time ago...2008-09-26 10:01:00

Wow... Very interesting read Stix. I think your theory does actually work... That has happened to me before; if I am fuelled by something aggrivating or encouraging me I excrete more force than I would normally *w*2008-09-26 10:03:00

That sounded wrong xD

Hmm yes, same here...who knows, maybe variables other than just "the object" are intertwined...perhaps certain feelings...interesting! =D

absolutely, adrenalin can be a large factor in exerting additional strength, but I'm wondering if you could do more... Superstrength ftw!2008-09-26 10:21:00

That is exactly what I had in mind when I came up with this theory...anyone know how we can test it though?

I don't know that something like this could necessarily be scientifically proven. It's already well documented that certain scenarios allow for superhuman efforts to take place. That being said, for adrenaline and, in turn - as you put it - "super-strength" to occur there typically needs to be a situation of extreme circumstance at hand. Therefore, there are obvious limitations - ethically primarily - when it comes to performing an experiment of this magnitude.

That's just my take on what would qualify as the true test of the possibilities of the human anatomy.

A question: while force required is certainly calculated on a subconscious level to some extent, what can be said concerning over-extending one's self? Theoretically, are you saying that instances involving the over-exertion of one's self have been influenced by the conscious rather than the subconscious?

Very interesting topic, by the way.

The theory is this:

Force is calculated by the subconscious...What seems to "come naturally" is actually a result of a series of calculations made by the subconscious in a split second.

Now, when placed in a certain situation, extra force is then added on to the initial force in order for the planned event or action to take place effectively.

Imagine we can break this principle...Imagine we can excrete this "extra amount" of force and add it to the initial force without having to be put in the fitting situation.

Have you ever tried to jump as high as you can without having a certain object as your goal to reach? Now, have you tried to jump as high as you can while having a goal? You will notice that the latter scenario pits you in an event that will able you to jump much higher than the first, because the subconscious adds the extra force needed to effectively initiate the action, i.e reaching the goal.

That is all my theory is stating...that by having a certain goal, one is able to achieve much more...

Well spoken. It's not a bad theory. Wonder if such a think could be tested with hypnosis?

Perhaps it can...Well, if just imagining a goal could break the principle, hypnosis can only prove to be much more effective! This theory is expanding...interesting to see a few of you taking it seriously =D2008-09-26 15:17:00

I think when we essentially talking mental conditioning, the limits will be much lower than those potentially possible, unless of course you were mentally conditioned to continually fuel yourself with adrenaline and anything else, but I could easily see how, given the correct conditioning you could potentially beat your self-imposed limits.2008-09-26 16:00:00

All we need now is a method to prove this. We have our aim, and we have our hypothesis, now we need our method...Interesting how this is developing!2008-09-27 08:49:00

Yes very interesting...

* Has no idea what you guys are talking about *

Therefore, I have come up with my hypothesis, and my theory is true, so I come to my conclusion. I shall now leave this thread for certain reasons, due to low knowledge of this topic.

Hmm, came up with a theory, hypothesis, and conclusion in one post.
