Who you gonna call? Nobody, since ghosts don’t exist. University of Manchester particle physicist and media personality, Brian Cox, is claiming that if ghosts were real, they would have some sort of signature that proves their existence, like a specific particle. Being that the Large Hadron Collider is the crème de la crème of particle detection and has found no such thing, it may be safe to leave the lights off after all.

Astrophysicist and media personality Neil deGrasse Tyson, who was also a guest on the show, clarified by saying, "If I understand what you just declared, you just asserted that CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, disproved the existence of ghosts." Cox said yes. If ghosts were real, he posits, they would have a certain frequency or particle associated with them, corresponding with the human or body, with which it was once attached. If that was the case, we would be able to detect them. After all this time and with all our advanced instruments, we haven’t picked up anything close.
 
Ghost do not exist. However, I get a kick out of folks, who call themselves scientist, thinking they know it all and therefore, it must be as they claim it would be. Like when others claim there is other life out in space and fail to realize it would not have to be anything like us or breath anything like us. (There is no others but, that is besides the point of what I was saying.)

Yeah I get a kick out of those folks too.

There is no such thing as space. It's just a trick god made to test our faith.

Coincidence?

Have to admire such brilliant scientific reasoning. Who knew they had a falsifiable theory of ghosts that should have been detected? Oh wait, they didn't? Well, crap. I guess anything the LHC failed to detect must also not exist. So much for the existence of dark matter, since we've detected no such particles. We've detected everything there is to detect, so we can safely cut any funding for future particle colliders as well, right? Sigh.

I always find that funny also. We have stuff that is alive on this planet that is much different from other living things. Plants, humans, fish, virus, and bacteria all have different requirements. What is good for one will kill some of the others. And yet we assume that something living has to meet a single requirement and be just like it is here.

Laymen do, scientists tend to be a bit better about it. There are some basics of life that can be classified as needs, like a solvent that allows for nurtients to be dissolved and passed into an object.

Nope, I don't believe that and neither does my brother. My brother had a friend that simply refused to enter his apartment due to a "bad feeling" that he felt. A couple of weeks later he saw a shadow move across the room and there was nobody but him in the room with him sitting on the bed. A few minutes later something flew across the room off of his nightstand and he swears to this day that nobody touched anything on that nightstand; all he was doing was sitting there reading a book for class and then it just flew across the room. Ever since then he refused to be in the apartment by himself.

He asked about in the complex regarding the apartment he was living in, turns out someone was murdered in it.
 
Wouldn't the large hadron collider have to be haunted to detect ghosts? That means someone(s) would have had to die in the LHC. Sounds like we might have just confirmed the existence of super villains with this Brian Cox guy.
 
All they've really proven is the ghosts don't like the Large Hadron Collider.

Avoid it like the plague, they do.

I hear it's a common phobia among the post-life set.
Yeah, obviously if they want to be scientific about it, they need to kill someone near the collidor at CERN so it becomes haunted first. Preferably multiple people in a violent way to get the best results.
 
Just for the record, Brian Cox was saying this off the cuff on a BBC program called "The Infinite Monkey Cage". Its not like he specifically wrote a paper or anything to disprove ghosts, he simply was telling someone on the show that it was not reasonable to suspect ghosts because we have detected so many particles that are invisible to the naked eye and there is no evidence to support such a claim. Somehow this is a news story now because apparently headlines about ghosts are sensational enough to sell as click bait.

If you dont subscribe already, download the Infinite Monkey Cage podcast... it is awesome.
 
pfffft ghosts have cloaking devices, just like the aliums do.

Well, obviously they have already done that; CERN are professionals!
 
People confuse sleep paralysis, and the funny stuff that goes on with your brain shortly after waking up, for seeing "ghost". It happens to me a lot (thinking I see figures or weird shapes and people formed from background images) and I know it's not ghost.

What's sad about this guy is that he even took the time to bother with this nonsense. Doing so gives legitimacy for people to think there's even a debate going on about ghost in the scientific community, which there is not.

And what do you have when a person has an experience mid day, hours after or before any sleep was involved?

That there is a more reasonable explanation than spirits of dead people?

It's like believing in Bigfoot. People who believe in Bigfoot are likely going to think something they see is a Bigfoot before other more reasonable explanation. Here's some good reading.

I'm not saying I don't believe someone who thinks they saw a ghost. I'm sure they think that's what they saw. However, in reality, that doesn't mean that's what it was.
 
Interesting link, but I have no other reasonable explanation for what started as an audible, then visual and finally a physical experience. I understand people have a hard time believing this sort of thing, I did too, until that experience.

Some of these physicists theorize that there are parallel universes, perhaps sometimes these universes cross and we can physically sense them. Maybe that's what we are experiencing. I don't know, I'm a damn machinist, give me a block of whatever and I'll make you a part. Lol

Hold on a second. These same people also claim that parallel universes do in fact exist. So how can they say something exists in the ether, but then say nothing exists in the ether?

Ghosts in the form of wandering spirits or souls, I guess we can discount that on current known science. But it can still be left open to overlapping universes.

To answer your question. There are 2 angles to approach this. That life on this planet is either A: Unique or B: Common.

If you go with life on this planet being unique, then you can come up with whatever ideas you want. And science fiction is fun.

If you go with life on this planet being common, then you conclude that humans became advanced (aka detectable) because of certain basic design principles. Opposing thumbs is one. But symmetrical bodies is another. We can touch any part of our body. We can contort naturally. Dolphins might be smart, but they can't manipulate anything and their bodies are stiff. We are made of Carbon which has unique properties that make it versatile. We are filled with water which also has some very unique attributes.

The reason people go with option B is because it's the easiest to model around. If we are unique, then we can have no understanding of the universe.
 
Unless ghosts live in an alternate dimension or reality in which they do not share particles that can be detected in this dimension or reality. There are things in this world which we do not understand, or ever will. Things do indeed go bump in the night.:nailbiting:

Works the other way around as well. "I say ghosts don't exist and since you cannot prove other wise I am right by default :)" is an argument that does not hold water. Where did this fine gentleman receive his PHD from? I am not saying that Ghosts do exist but I am saying the logic that this particular "scientist" is using to refute their existence is deeply flawed.

This! Absolutely this!

It may simply not be able to detect ghosts because it is, as of yet, still unable to detect definitively interdimensional (exists in more than one dimension and perceived as such), or speculatively intra-dimensional (contained withone one's home dimension but perceived effects of within ours) particles.

As advanced as the LHC is, as far as I know, it is not intelligent to the level of, nor as complicated, as the human brain. Therefore it may not be able to sense things that our brain does easily.

It seems more of like a binary system. It's there or it isn't. Anything outside of that simple logic is invisible to the LHC. (of course, my knowledge of the LHC is limited, and I could be wrong)

C'mon, I wanna see stay puft. He's real, dammit.

At times I don't find them to be any better than a laymen. Or at the very least not in how they try to present information to people. I haven't personally read any studies to know anything outside of what is given to the public which normally is "no liquid water, no possible life"

Yes it makes it more likely, but that is not the end all be all. There has been guesses that other solvents could replace water maybe. Of course we would have to find a life form like that first as proof. However the point is that we look at life on earth and try to make everything fit that. Maybe there is a planet were things have evolved so that instead of H20 they use NH3 or something else. Yes the conditions would have to be "just right" however isn't that what we say about our planet? That a few more feet closer to the sun or further way and life wouldn't be possible. We are just the perfect distance from the sun to allow for life with water. So who is to say that there isn't some other planet that meets the perfect conditions for NH3 to be possible for life. We are looking for signs of earth type life, as that is all that we know about so far and know how to find.
 
So now CERN is hiring experts on the physicality of ghosts? Has he published a paper on the subject? Taken appropriate courses? Where did he get his degree in "spiritology"?

I have never heard a scientist argue that 'parallel universes do in fact exist,' only that it's an interesting possibility which is not disproved by our current understanding of physics.
