Do You Believe in Ghosts or Spirits?

[Regulus]

No more than I believe that the speed of light is the maximum speed anything can travel in the universe.

Hint: I don't believe it at all.

[VitaniOutsider]

Yeah, I believe in ghosts.

Like I said.. I don't belive in this. It's silly and not part of nature. I DO believe that you are brought back from the dead and go to a better place when you die but not ghosts..

I'm gonna quote "The Science" chapter of Zak's book. He wrote it and explains how and why others find it silly so damn well. Wow. I'll edit this and post it up once I write it all.

I know!!
The speed of light isn't the maximum speed anything can travel in the universe.
O.o''

You know, I'd much rather don't believe in ghosts and stuff..
It's pretty scary.. D:
I wish I didn't believed in it, but I just do.
I find it scary, but also very interesting.. xD

Guys, um, going off topic here. ^^;
-
I'd rather scan the pages out of the book. Not gonna waste me an hour typing everything up lol. I'll have them up in a while!
Alright, so my scanner decided to die on me and I only got this scanned. It's very great to share this with you guys.

^ that's a great quote! It's very true.
I've seen benign spirits, and even a few helpful ones.
And I've also seen really angry ones that would just love to harm someone.

If you dont mind I can explain exactly why the speed of light is in fact the maximum speed possible for any object to travel. So may I explain?

May I explain why it might not be?

Because, as far as I know, nobody here even has half of the mathematical knowledge to understand anything about tachyon theory.

Some scientists support Einstein. Some don't. But I believe, that as we unlock the secrets of the quantum realm, we will find that Einstein is partially wrong. Because history repeats itself.

Guys... severely off topic. >.>

I say no:

Ghosts are semi-transparent. This means that something emits light, and something else needs to be in the air to reflect the light, and thus producing an image.

In the natural world, there is no light source capable of emitting light at a high intensity to be visible in the air. It always needs a medium. - Rainbows need that thick, moist air, so that the light is visible because of water droplets suspended in the air.

Humans created an alternative - the LASER. - Yes, it is in fact an acronym.

Very powerful lasers are visible in the air because the impurities (dust and stuff) are enough to reflect a small portion of the laser, producing the visible beam. Research is being done to use many lasers to create a true 3D image that is projected into the air, but often they still need to be aided with things like fog to produce their image.

But one thing is in common with straight beam lasers and the new development projectors: They all need a very bright source. This source cannot move through walls, and if you look at it in the wrong angel, you will go blind. I don't recall ghosts making people go blind. Nor did they have projectors at their feet.

So no, I don't see any ghosts created by lasers. If some human wanted to create a ghost, the best we can do one is a flickering image of roughly 8 FPS, most likely colored green. Ghosts don't flicker at a low frame-rate, and they are white.

Don't exist.
