What is the scientific explaination for ghosts?

Question

I mean for the images of people and spirits. Also, why do we think we hear them?

Answer 1

the vast majority of the scientific community believes that ghosts, as well as other supernatural and paranormal entities
do not exist. Now the "Occam's razor",;it's a basic scientific principle. And it says, all things being equal, the simplest explanation tends to be the right one."
There are several conditions that cause people to hallucinate. Among these conditions are:
1) An active imagination -- a desire to see a ghost or something not real.
2) Dream like state of consciousness -- not quite a wake.
3) Chemical imbalances in the brain -- drug or biologically induced.
4) Brain injury

Answer 2

It's a study of psychology. There has been no hard scientific evidence of the existance of ghosts. People still claim to see and hear ghosts from time to time. If the phenomenon isn't environmental, it's mental, and science needs to study the condition of the brain and the way it behaves during these "sightings". It's either an instance of the brain in a state of confusion and misunderstanding.... or it could be a human sense that science has yet to replicate in order to sense ghosts with instruments.

Answer 3

Psychologists usually explain the visual appearance of ghosts to chemical imbalance in the brain. To them ghosts do not exist so anyone seeing a ghost needs medication to stop the visions.Voices are the same if you go to a psychologist and tell him or her you hear voices, then they will put you on medication.

Now that is what the professsionals who have PHD' in their name who are truly professionals, but as we all know ghosts are people without bodies. Spirits of the people who once were alive.

For some reason true scientists do not accept the posssiblity of ghosts.

Answer 4

There's no explanation because the science community need concrete evidence, something solid they can examine and decide upon. With ghost and spirits this is just not possible because they are made up of energy. Images, photos, voices - they can all be explained away by the science community and sceptics.

Answer 5

the scientific explanation would be hallucinations in a persons mind. No other scientific proof exists. Hence the reason for so many people not believing in ghosts

Answer 6

The only semi-plausible explanation in physics is a kind of weak, temporary 'bumping-together'of parallel realities. Quantum physics potentially predicts an infinite number of alternate and parallel universes. The 'closest' ones to ours are very similar....same history, same inhabitants.....but the further along you go small differences occur. For instance: in a parallel reality Aunt Betty didn't die in a car accident....so if our reality briefly bumps into that one you might glimpse her still going about her usual routine.
btw...this actually potentially explains most 'supernatural' phenomena including past lives, deja vu, precognition. The parallel realities similar to ours may have slower or faster timelines, meaning a version of World War 2 might still be happening in one series of realities, the Civil War another, it might be 2009 in others, etc.

Answer 7

how can we connect the two: One is related to organized facts, called Science, the other is spiritual, and has nothing to do with science. Ghost, the word does not exist for the scientist, or scientific world. Period. Its like telling the world, that there was no such thing called Adam and Eve, or God. It is for the non believers and believers. Thats all.

Answer 8

There are examine approximately speaking in tongues (Glossolalia), frequently from a psychological and linguistic attitude. i've got not got references to hand. speaking in tongues have been present in different ideals that are actually not christian, so, they don't have faith interior the "holy spirit". The Oracle at Delphi is considered the older registered case of this. it particularly is nevertheless practiced in some close by human beings cults in Mexico, as an occasion. In christianity, some human beings prepare is and picture it particularly is optimal, others say it particularly is the paintings of devil, maybe you have been uncovered already to the later. i've got considered human beings training glossolalia, as an spectator, I wasn't inspired. i spotted that glossolalia practiced by english audio gadget sound diverse than that of spanish audio gadget, it particularly is suspicious. I understand which you detect peace with this, so save training, even nevertheless "emotions" are in no way sturdy data to make valid testable propositions. here there are some hyperlinks approximately glossolalia. desire it helps.

Answer 9

Unless you can test it. It's not Science.

Same goes for Ghosts, Religion and all of that.

It's not considered part of the Scientific world and how we view it, if you can't test it.

Answer 10

Ghosts or spirits are made of a semi tangible subastance called ectoplasm. Strong emotions or thoughts can emit ectoplasm. When you die you release it and it goes to one of three places...
