The Lillster Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I read one article, not too long ago, stating that ghosts could be a product of time distortion. If I manage to find the article I'll post it here. According to some spiritual people, there are no such things as spirits and you should not attempt to contact them, if you do manage to contact someone, it's probably a demon. LOL If you want a pleasant spiritual experience, you should contact Jesus through prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) I dont mean just ghosts and demons. Science sterilizes most everything conjured up by peoples imaginations You obviously don't study science, since it brings forth ideas that most people could never dream of on their own. My mind is being blown as we speak by Topology. And like Fractals, and Chaos. All "new" branches of mathematics, which only inspire and create new thoughts.

Ive heard similar theories on ghosts which state that they could just be after images of things that have happened throughout time. Like how when you record over a video too many times and you can sometimes get flashes of what happened previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 This book should be on the curriculum. You shouldn't be allowed to leave year 7 without having read it. (my addition to the "hey, science is fun/awesome!" argument) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how when you record over a video too many times and you can sometimes get flashes of what happened previously. There's a slight problem with that explanation - we have no evidence that it's happening, and, indeed, we know of no way in which it could happen. Analogies of video tapes are all very well, but do you have any logical reason to claim such things, or are they just ramblings below the hypotheses stage?

The fish Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Case in point So the fuck what? It don't see why it matters if "science sterilises everything" - I personally find life is much easier and more enjoyable when you work with reality, instead of wasting your time dicking about with fairytales, and I would hazard to guess that most people would agree with me...

I do apologise, you were wondering dangerously close to Creationist territory... Equal to that of a dog that accidentally miaowed.

triforcemario Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Extremely hard, yes, but less likely than spirits from beyond the grave?The table originated from a place well known for paranormal activity. My mum used to work there back in the 70's, and recalls on various occasions witnessing (with other people) rope knotting in mid-air, being hit by scolding hot pebbles where there were no ovens for miles around, boxes stacking themselves, being kicked and bruised by thin air, amongst many other things.

heroicjanitor Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ghosts make no sense. They would have to die again at some point at least. Then would a ghost have a ghost? Do ghosts have psychics that can see a ghost's ghost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do ghosts have psychics that can see a ghost's ghost? Thats not quite right though is it. Ghosts (should they exist) aren't considered living so they wouldn't have to die and definitely wouldn't have another ghost.. .. In all that, I don't believe in ghosts.

Frank Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 What more proof do you need? Mu parents just hid my Hogwarts letter when I was 11... ¬_¬ A little more serious though, I'm just repeating what everyone else has said but yeah I'd like to believe in some supernatural force but everything I see just seems so false. However, I think it's a little close-minded to think nothing "strange" happens. Kinda like if you walk into a room/place/wherever and something bad has happened there (murders for example) and you can instantly feel it. Hard to explain but...yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diageo Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Can you feel it, or do you just feel bad because you know someone died there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 am...well, I'd be lying if I said I knew. That's the mystery of it. I'm sure you can get the same feeling ignorant of the fact anything every happened. You can just sense something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
