    Could This Be a Nova or Supernova Seen on Dec 26?

    Hi all, I’m an amateur astrophotographer, and while I was I was shooting frames just this morning (approx 5.50GMT, Dec 26), something very peculiar was seen.Two non-existent bright sources (approx 4 or 5° apart) were popping up around next to Regulus, and peaked in brightness almost...

    Is Time an Illusion in Dreams Compared to Reality?

    This thread leans a bit towards the "Is time just an illusion?" topic, but is somehow different. In physical reality, time seems to derole as an objective constant. We experience time as constant intervals and we all do that the same way otherwise interaction with someone else would be hard...

    Medical Science Of Near Death Experience

    I agree with you PIT2, if i may quote myself: Secondly - and presumably more fascinating for physics – is the mechanism that is responsible for this assumed delocalized mind. When we consider our worldly reality and another implicate reality that may be out there, there should be a mechanism...

    What is Metzinger's radical theory of selfhood and phenomenal consciousness?

    Rader, do you have any kind of source material on this experiment that was carried out? I searched the board but couldn't find your original mentioning. I would be highly interested!

    The Near Death Experience, Out of Body Exp and their ontological interpretations

    While indeed the neurochemistry approach may appeal tentative, there are some counterindicators with this theory. I know that certain electrical stimuli of the temporal lobe have provoked visions and or hallucinations that also occurred with epilepsy patients who were about to have a seizure...

    The Near Death Experience, Out of Body Exp and their ontological interpretations

    It appeared available in a respected library here, but they seem to have lost track of the it... A real let-down... Is the book worth buying?

    The Near Death Experience, Out of Body Exp and their ontological interpretations

    I'm interested in hearing other peoples thoughts about the NDE and OBE. I shared my idea about it in another thread hoping to start a debate, but it got somewhat lost, so I think its a good idea to start a separate thread. What do you think about the reality of the NDE and what it (could)...

    Telekinesis: Evidence & Theories on Supernatural Powers

    Thats quite a broad question you're asking there.. First of all, supernatural may not be the right word for it. These forces are yet poorly understood properties of Nature. Due to the nature of them, they howev. don't fit into the current scientific paradigm and are being dismissed by many...

    How to determine the reality of mystical experiences?

    Standalone OBE’s can be studied separately from NDE’s. Many experiences have been provided but have been reported to occur mostly spontaneous. Only few cases report inducing them at will. This could be a path to follow in the research of the reality of these OBE’s. I should note that OBE’s...

    How to determine the reality of mystical experiences?

    I have been following this thread for quite a time and want to share my ideas concerning it as a whole. So please forgive me for being a little out of context with the latest replies. I have studied NDE’s thouroughly for the last few years and have been in contact with the dutch cardiologist...

    Pointlike particles and the emergence of classicality

    So, actually, mass is just an illusion that we perceive as pointlike charges who interact on their environments through forces?

    Pointlike particles and the emergence of classicality

    I've got some conceptual problems on how to interpret the emergence of a classical world, in which, i can't walk through walls, by what is in quantum mechanics described as dimensionless energy 'particles' who have manifested themselves out of the collapse of the wave function (by whichever...

    New model permits time travel

    New model "permits time travel" Quoted from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4097258.stm Basically, what is said is that a superposed quantum wave is allowed to travel back in time. They make a clear distinction between a collapsed WF and a superposed. Also measurement device is...

    Where does the energy come from to create new worlds in Many Worlds theory?

    I still have problems explaining MWI; 1) If a measurement is made, a causality forward in time is made,(perhaps an immediate creation is possible, if you discern facts as causality and time, nevertheless, at that very instant of creation, world B will be dependant of world A) because due to...

    Where does the energy come from to create new worlds in Many Worlds theory?

    Your view of MWI also has some implications; IF you state that for every wave function that collapses into one of its eigenstates, all the other possibilities will become true in other universes, you cannot longer explain free will. For every you there's another you, doing what you don't do...
