Distortion Field Theory suggests that one can amplify their ability to influence others to believe almost anything is possible through a potent cocktail of allure, magnetism, pacification, charisma, pizzazz, embellishment, persistence, marketing and persistence.
According to the theory, a properly projected field can distort an audience’s perception, negating their innate assessment of difficulty and rendering them to believe that the emanated objective is not only possible, but highly probable.
The concept originates from the Menagerie episode where the Talosians employed a Reality Distortion Field (RDF) to manifested a "new world" of their unique design, through mental power alone.
