Paranormal activity is just science the human race dosn't understand yet.
Things that seem weird now will be easily explained in years to come.
If you had talked about electricity 200 years ago you would have been burnt for witchdom...nice word witchdom.

That's a very silly argument. How could you talk about electricity when it hadn't been discovered? |

Ummm, I don't think Leefer meant the electricity you get from sockets in the wall. |

Fukin hell..............people thought about helicopters and aeroplanes centuries ago....dont mean they were invented then...electicity and other modern things were thought of years before they became something we used.......a rocket to the moon wasn't invented 200 years back....dont mean that people didn't think about it. |

Leefer, the first battery was invented 200 years ago, the century before electrostatic generators were being built and Franklin did his kite experiment thing.
Ergo, electricity was definitely discovered by 1810.

The actual dates and facts are quite irrelevant, the point remains.
TT is being very narrow minded and I am thinking that perhaps this is not a discussion for him.

Theories have always been conjured up to deal with the unexplained. The sun circles around the earth. Thor rides a chariot in the sky and throws thunderbolts down. The earth is flat. The Chinese believed that an eclipse was caused by a giant dragon eating the moon so they made a hell of a racket to frighten it off, which unsurprisingly worked. It doesn't mean they were right at the time and were ultimately proved to be wrong. There was no truth to any of these theories, they were just that - theories waiting for proof. The advancement of thought, reason, evidence, knowledge and science gave the answers. The difference between the above and paranormal crap is that all of the above are real, consistent and reproducible. So to say that paranormal activity is just things that science hasn't discovered yet is plain silly. It doesn't exist. |

Cheers Sie....my point really is that things we take for granted today like TV,Radio Texting etc would have been incredible inventions centuries ago........people may have wondered if these things would ever happen. So things we dont understand today(ie paranormal activity)may be easily explained in the future....we maybe may even use it to help in our daily tasks. |

What about dimensions that we have not found yet, or dimensions that we have not even been able to imagine? |

Who are you einstein....just because we dont understand it...dosn't mean it dosn't exist? If one day we understand it....then it has always existed  |

I suspect that TT is trolling. Or is he really that ignorant?

If you can show me physical proof for another dimension then I will agree that it exists. You can't, so therefore it is equivalent to not existing. It's a pointless argument. I can come up with as many sci-fi scenarios as the next bloke for how the universe (or parallel universes or string theories or blah blah blah) could be, but that does not make them real. They are all in the mind. Going back to the Casper analogy, if the incredible advanced alien life forms that could exist in this other dimension poke their noses into ours then great, I will wholeheartedly embrace them (probably wearing a radiation suit). Until then, it's all cock waffle. |

If there is a repeatable measurable physical phenomenon, say like the sun going down in the west and rising in the east then it does exist. Understanding and explanation is neither here or there. It happens. Paranormal bollocks cannot be measured or repeated consistently. Therefore it does not exist. |
