"Good point, Jack. His mental capabilities come from the radiation experiments
on Cargonite (why not Carsonite?) he'd been conducting (which
sorta makes 1959 a transition point between the old radiation gimmick and a
newer brand of science-based monster). The point was made
that his brother's sonic wave vibrator wasn't operational when he stuck his hand
through the block that first time. "

When Scott sees the doctor, Brian, the doctor tells him "not a trace of radiation", "no tumor" and "no
brain damage at all ". The doctor tells him his EEG results shows electrical impulses of his brain are
strong. The doctor tells him his headaches may be a result of work, effect of radiation we don't know
anything about.

The sonic wave vibrator wasn't operating the second time, when his brother was with him. Was
it or wasn't it operating the first time? Is it possible the his brain's unique impulses combined with
the vibrator made his hand pass through the block the first time and then endowed him with
that power without the vibrator subsequently??

His brother said that the force field " compressed the energy of years into a moment."

Would Scott have been able to move his hand and the pencil through the brick the first time without the
vibrator?

On the IMDB base, it reads that Marjorie, played by Patty Duke, was a victim of Scott. I'm
watching it taped off Cinemax and that scene is not completed, it stops with Scott saying "Just
a short game" and then there is a cut in the film to the lab and reporters. Was that actual scene
completed , or was it filmed to imply Scott drained her energy, too?
