I think perception has a lot to do with the paranormal. I know for a fact that I have seen things, but I myself and a bit of a skeptic on most things paranormal. I guess maybe it has all been normalized since it's been happening to me since I was a little kid. I don't think anyone can really prove that anything is real unless they experience it for themselves. In my opinion it's just kind of a fun way to spend the time. If you're basically "trained" to see and experience things, it's pretty much the thought process that there cannot be a way that things don't exist. They are out there, but it all depends on the person. Unless we are all just insane.

While you're right in the fact that we don't know everything, logic is either right or wrong, so we pretty much do have that down perfectly, otherwise it would all be completely wrong.

Bound particles in quantum mechanics. Yes, science is working on explaining the, but as of right now the explanation as to how they exist is not clear. Nor is it possible for science to accurately predict how they will act beyond knowing that the other reacts to what the first one does.

No, it's not paranormal. Why? Because we are on the VERGE of understanding it. Science can explain everything. That is the very definition of science. It is the pursuit of understanding. If it can't be understood, then it either doesn't exist or our minds are literally incapable of comprehending it.

And, the latter is what we call "paranormal". Really, your question was a silly one. For some reason you seem to be under the mistaken assumption that we understand everything about the universe. And, many things we are on the verge of understanding could easily be used to explain the "paranormal". Perhaps ghosts are particles that were quantumly bound to the mind of a person who died. And, without the mind actively existing any more, the bound particles naturally respond by mimicking actions made in life in some sort of time loop.

I don't know. Science hasn't figured it out yet. That's the point.

If you wish to experience a supernatural event, simply go to a graveyard around 2:50 AM with an Ouija board. Place three candles around the grave in the form of a triangle. Light the candles at 3:00 AM, and begin the Ouija session. Allow your fingers to lightly touch the cursor, do not move the cursor, let the spirits move it for you.

In this setting, most people I instruct will experience an event. Best of luck, if you have the courage.

So then do it. Don't let your close-minded nature stop you from being enlightened. If you deny every possibility, how can you ever accept the ever-changing truth of the world.

Centuries ago people believed that the earth was flat, and that a man would never reach the moon. If they had just left it at that, denied any possibility that their notions were not correct, we would never be here today.

You can prove that something does exist, as well as you can't prove something does exist. That's how science works, for something not to exist you have to conduct research, experiments, more experiments, and data. Otherwise it remains unknown, things that we don't know that we don't know. The absence of evidence, is not the evidence of absence.

August 27, 1979-Deputy Sheriff Val Johnson of Marshall County was on duty that night, driving not far from the North Dakota border, when at around 1:40 a.m. he saw a light through his side window. It was obviously not on a road and looked too glaring to be a car headlight.

He first thought it might be a small plane on or very near the ground. He turned left on another road to try to get closer to the light to identify it. Suddenly, the light moved toward him, travelling so fast that it almost instantaneously was upon his car (covering an estimated mile and a half).

Johnson was blinded by the brilliance of the light and heard glass breaking, then lost consciousness.

When he returned to consciousness, the car was stalled and had skidded across the highway. He felt sluggish and shaky. He radioed headquarters, at 2:19 a.m., to request assistance. Soon another deputy arrived, who called an ambulance.

The doctor who examined Johnson found him to be in a mild state of shock.

His eyes were irritated as if Johnson had suffered "mild welder's burns," and Johnson couldn't stand to be exposed to any bright lights.

The patrol car had very peculiar damage. The inside headlight on the driver's side was smashed but not the one to its immediate left. There was a flat-bottomed circular dent on the left side of the front hood, about a half inch in diameter, close to the windshield.

There was a crack in the windshield on the driver's side, that ran from top to bottom, with four apparent impacts. The electric clock was running 14 minutes slow, as was Johnson's wristwatch.

The shaft of the roof antenna was bent over at a 60-degree angle, starting about 6 inches above its base.

The trunk antenna was bent over at 90 degrees, but only near the top. No damage occurred to the car's regular antenna on the front hood. Essentially, all the damage to the car occurred on the left, or driver's side.

>The classic.

Japan Air Lines flight 1628 was a UFO incident that occurred on November 17, 1986 involving a Japanese Boeing 747 cargo aircraft. The aircraft was en route from Paris to Narita, Tokyo[1] with a cargo of Beaujolais wine.[2] On the Reykjavík to Anchorage section of the flight, at 5:11 PM over eastern Alaska, the crew first witnessed two unidentified objects to their left. These abruptly rose from below and closed in to escort their aircraft. Each had two rectangular arrays of what appeared to be glowing nozzles or thrusters, though their bodies remained obscured by darkness. When closest, the aircraft's cabin was lit up and the captain could feel their heat in his face. These two craft departed before a third, much larger disk-shaped object started trailing them, causing the pilots to request a change of course.[3] Anchorage Air Traffic Control obliged and requested an oncoming United Airlines flight to confirm the unidentified traffic, but when it and a military craft sighted JAL 1628 at about 5:51 PM, no other craft could be distinguished.[3] The sighting of 50 minutes[4] ended in the vicinity of Mt. McKinley.[5][6] - wikipedia

Oh but I mean obviously the 30 years veteran airline pilot misidentified a normal aircraft -- riiight.

>>
>>17377492

That's up for debate. It's a mind-fuck, and a debate with no answers..

The end result depends ultimately on whether or not there is "information" present in this reality which confirms it's existence.

For instance, running the experiment while collecting the slit data: If you keep the data, you get the "particle" result. If you discard the data, you get the "wave" pattern. It's not the observing that affects the result, it's whether or not there is data present which confirms the result.

You can't get a wave result if you have slit data which confirms a particle, as that's a contradiction in reality. It's like a reality contains a self-protecting firewall. It's bizarre senpai.
>>
To elaborate on >>17377143 and >>17377273, I'd like to give this example:

Imagine that you're reading a mystery novel. A classic one that follows the Knox/Van Dine rules. Like, Christie or Carr.

What is a mystery? It's a set of rules, hints and information. There is also always that moment when the detective says 'alright guys, time to name the culprit'. If the reader is not a complete retard and he didn't buy that book due to some strange mistake (not realizing that mystery genre is not entertainment but rather puzzle), he will close the book and realize that 'by that moment in story, you can pinpoint the culprit - definitely'.

People like OP, and the overall 'scientific approach' crowd are those, who decided on a culprit somewhere in the beginning of the story, and will definitely explain every single riddle of the story with that 'answer'. In other words, their goal is not to find the truth, it's to fit everything they see into the bounds of their answer.

And what is the 'answer' of the 'scientific approach' people? It's always the same. The same as with the space ether, for example.

The idea that 'what we currently know is completely correct and not mistaken, so we should base everything on that knowledge' or, in other words, simple arrogance.

Science is something definite; maths is science. And this bullshit is a caricature on science. All the assumptions we constantly make about billions of years ago, billions of miles away, billions of something somewhere.

I'm hearing a lot of folks say (without proof, I may add) that science CAN explain everything. Is there evidence to support this claim?

Is it possible for science to explain consciousness? We assume that it is, but there's no evidence which proves that consciousness is indeed a result of physical interactions. It may be the case that it can be described in terms of physical cause and effect, but that remains to be shown.

Nope. Science uses mathematical models, but math is not science. Mathematics takes a set of axioms and derives truth statements from those assumptions. The scientific method doesn't need to come into the picture to do this, only reason and logic.

Assumptions, statistics, generalizations and extrapolations have nothing to do with logic. When you try to wrap up a question by some 'it fits' bullcrap instead of actually trying to find THE truth of the matter, it's not logic, it's fallacy-fest, based either on Hampel's raven or Devil's proof.

It's ironic how modern scientific approach is no different from astrology.

My Granny got dementia and the things she claimed to see/hear and experience could be considered paranormal. Ghost of my Grandfather talking to her in her room at night and trying to kill her by household items. Seeing hands trying to grab her that were coming out of her kitchen cabinets. Telling me after she woke up in the hospital while I was visiting her that she had just came from my funeral.

I never made her upset or made fun of her for these things because they were absolutely Real to her. In her mind, these things were actually happening to her and I was freaked out yeah but I wanted to support and comfort her. One day she called me scared out of her mind that Mexicans were sneaking into her attic to bowl chickens for money. So to put her mind at ease I climbed into the attic and told her I made sure nobody else was up there.

It's easy to ridicule a person who has mental illness but to them it's absolutely real. Not saying the weird unexplained things people say happened to them is mental illnesses but the human brain can perceive things that they believe are 100% real.

Nothing in the documentary said that. The doctors said they suffered from a mental disorder in which twins feed off each other. Watch it for yourself it's pretty interesting.

It's called "circular reporting" in epistemology and sociology.

I dunno about this Dean Radin fellow but Rupert Sheldrake is a prancing little halfwit trying to repackage the weakest of new age spiritualism in a pseudo-scientific package that'd make a Scientologist blush with genuine shame and bawling constantly about how corrupt actual scientific scholars are for not rubber stamping his horse shit.

The only thing a person can learn from reading his books is how to fail at being a charlatan.

Google The hard problem.

Basically, the scientific method cannot prove that you or I actually have sentience. It cannot be measured in the traditional scientific sense. That little part of you that knows that its aware is not a physical thing, even though it is caused by physical processes.

But we can't prove that it exists.

does anon believe in chance, fortune, luck or random events?
could it be a force outside of physics?
and if so how could you direct it?

I'm talking about something that's impossible to calculate for. even if you had a biquantum processor singularity thing that could analyze reality and account for every atom. do you think there is still a chance.... slim as it might be. yet chance would still exist? because that omnipotent machine wasn't omnipotent as you thought.

Unless I misunderstand what you're saying, there is evidence to the contrary. See

http://deanradin.com/evidence/Radin2012doubleslit.pdf

In this experiment it was shown that observing the data for the first time can collapse the wavefunction, even if it was recorded a month earlier.
>>
>>17377301
>>17380394

The reason you irritate me more than other people I disagree with is that you supposedly follow evidence. I should be able to show you a couple peer-reviewed studies, wait while you read them, and then you'd change your mind. We both know that will never happen, and that would be acceptable if you didn't claim to represent science. You do make that claim, but you just ignore all the evidence when it doesn't point your way. You're betraying science.

The scientific debate is over; you lost. search for 'distance healing' or 'ganzfeld experiment' on google scholar if you don't believe me, even skeptic meta studies find 'strong evidence' for psy and then conclude it doesn't exist anyway, because there are enough drawn-out abortions like yourselves who are terrified by the unknown.

>>
>>17383335
>http://deanradin.com/evidence/Radin2012doubleslit.pdf

Yes, we're both right, sorry I didn't explain it very well.

Observing the experiment directly will collapse the wave function, also, looking at the data will collapse the wave function regardless of time passed. That's spoopy enough..

But, we can go even further.

If you just record and keep the slit data, but don't look at it, as long as that data is "available" you will always get a collapsed wave-function because there is evidence out there that suggests a particle. If the data is deleted before you look at it, you get the wave result again.

So it's not the "measuring", or "observing" that collapses the wave, although both play a part. It's having "information" in this reality that confirms a particle, whether you've seen it or not, that collapses the wave.

>how does a wave/particle know I looked at a piece of paper 300 miles away?

There lies the mystery.
