re: Physicists ... what do you think about fifth dimension travel?

he fact that nearly every civilization on earth has documented the sleep paralysis phenomenon dating back over 1000 years should clue is in that there is something more living then just in the physical world that we can observe

I have trouble following this logic. If the most accepted explanation of sleep paralysis is physiological, then it would quite normal for this to occur across populations and generations. So to whatever extent your belief is correct, I'm not sure how that provide any evidence.

ETA: correct me if I'm wrong, but in quantum physics, aren't there particles that behave differently when they are observed? That would make it difficult to produce the physical evidence you are seeking.

I mean obviously some observable physical evidence would be the most definitive, BUT this is not required to reject the null. For example, so called "psychics" and others purporting paranormal skills have been scientifically studied under controlled conditions (e.g., predict what what card a person is holding). AND these individuals who have made their careers on this paranormal power, have consistently either failed miserably or performed as well as the expected probability (i.e., chance).

So if a "telepathic or psychic " would have been able to correctly guess 100 out of 100 cards in a controlled study, we wouldn't need to see its physical explanation to conclude that there is some validity to the psychic's claim. Yet, they fail to even meet that bar.
