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
quote: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).
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.
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.

Most civilizations theorized they were spiritual phenomenon, not physiological. That's why i suggested you research the topic before jumping to conclusions.

I haven't seen psychics mentioned once in this thread.
Was speaking in general quantum physics terms.
Do you think that it has any merit to investigate why some particles behave differently when observed vs unobserved? Seems pretty strange to me an unconscious particle behaves a certain way depending on whether we are watching or not. "The Awakening of Intelligence" is a good book to gain more insight on theories about "observers"
