@TheLotsofgames No he's just like us 37. But he has trained himself in concentration, willpower and by training he created a special fatt-type which is very common by people who live in cold areas. You and I could be him when we where mentally as strong as he is.
2,5 - 3 hours in that temperature is not enough to kill the tissue. So if anything, he has the power to endure pain, which is impressive enough - but he cant stop the effects of the cold. Everyone who lives in cold areas, including me, have at some point found themselves in a bad situation, but its all about how long it takes until you are back in front of the fire. I would never choose to do what he does, but he will die if he stretches it too far.. just like everyone else will.
"The most famous story about Victor was when he was taken out in the snow naked and instead of complaining about the cold, he ran around and had fun, not feeling the slightest discomfort due to the cold temperature. This insensitivity to temperature is a phenomenon that later proved to be very common among feral children."
I don't know why everyone says that he is insane, I think he is very impressive he can heat up with nothing but his mind! That is extraordinary and could be considered a super power.
this is a bit weird being obsessed with cold. But congratulations on completing such a challenge. Maybe give us a tutorial on how to access that thermostat with our minds?!
@thaer12345: Some of that research has already been done. It turns out that Wim Hof has an exceptional amount of brown fat (which burns energy for heat) when compared to normal adults. Slender people tend to have more of it, while obese people tend to have very little to none at all. You can probably find more on brown fat using Google.
On top of that he seems to slip into a meditative state which helps him activate this brown fat, but that's still largely a mystery.
What's up with this mythical superhero stuff? This is truly remarkable, but why isn't this investigated scientifically? I'd be very interested to know how this works.
"On Everest, Wim will also put to use his free style climbing skills - which he once demonstrated hanging between 2 hot air balloons by his middle finger at an altitude of 1500 meters. Once back inside the basket, Wim finished by climbing to the top of the balloon."
That almost sounds like a "Norris Truth" except... Wim actually DID that. O_O
@NoneUsernameUsed Chuck Norris is a martial arts master, he doesn't really know anything of Tibetan culture, or that of Tummo. Meditation is what allows him to do it. It's an esoteric belief, and really something that we can all tap into if we give ourselves the ability. Therefor what you stated has no relevance.
i wonder what his brain activity under that kind of pressure is like - critical thinking, spatial perception etc.. If he's simply *willing* his body to homeostasis, whats going on in his neocortex? Neanderthals had a different neocortex than modern humans, boy i do wander..
Ok now I don't understand why they call him the "Iceman". Thats part of him he ran a almost nonstop, hell i cant run a mile in warm weather. And in the end, it said it appear that he revived his toe tissues. I dunno if it was dead so....
I've been in cold (10 C) for 8 minutes and it sucked but it wasn't impossible. Being able to step out of the pool and not fall down was the most impressive thing of this video.
@Complicationization You could easily! Just gotta build up slowly, you should try it sometime, spend a few weeks and you'll be up to a few miles, your body adapts so quick it's scary.
his methods are about controlling body temperature to remain normal, not necessarily to heat up. i presume he has the abilities to cool down just as he has to heat up.
When your body gets an infection it increases temperature. The same thing is at work here except he controls it mentally its like having control of your heart.
Well...
