They have an effect on the perceived effects of physical laws; however, when it pertains to sun doing motions, note that many witness the same thing. The scenario is different in this case because perception is unique to the individual.

You can wear any helmet that stimulates the brain, but this will not give you the ability to suspend the laws of nature or heal others.
