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.
