Ghosts through scientific spectacles

scientific spectaclesThe subject of Ghosts is a mysterious and fear-evoking, when seen from sentiments, beliefs and manifestations point of view. Now, let’s wear glares of science on our eyes and take a glance what science percepts and elucidates about GHOSTS. Let’s now enter into the world of ghost-science.

Ghosts are believed to exist, and when something is believed or discovered, science takes its kit of technological apparatus and heads towards it to conduct tests and verify it by measuring, weighing, examining and dissecting it. In the case of Ghosts, though only certain things were possible, scientists or rather paranormal investigators (new breed of scientist) happened to do them. They are trying to stamp the word ectoplasm with science, which means a substance that cannot be touched or enclosed.

Science says, “There is a great possibility of subsistence of Ghost and their existence cannot be totally invalidated. However, there can but be more simpler and coherent justifications for their existence.” Worth thinking! Isn’t it? In my opinion, we should agree with science on this statement. What say? Let’s see what science adds to the picture..

Human brain is susceptible to see and hear things that are not there in reality. This is because they are getting over-cautious. Obsession of this caution on mind, uncanny groans and moans, stories of Ghosts, discerning sound of foot-steps in midnight’s, whispering voices in graveyards all of sudden appears as logical and psychological explanation. Also, in addition to this, mingles the civilization of daunting horror movies, an extensive conviction in the supernatural and myriad religious susceptibilities that presuppose the existence of Ghosts and evil spirits. The upshot is that the populace already having innate tendency to sense the presence of things that aren’t there, gets more fuelled for imagining something vaguer.

Science up to some extent describes it correct. It is quite true that there are such things that fuel the fire of belief and imagination, resulting in formation of some creatures by our own belief that frightens our own mind shortly. Next, time you sense a Ghost around, do not forget to cross-check your belief and contemplation.
