What would be the implications of a pseudoscientific 5th fundamental force?

AI Thread Summary
In a sci-fi parapsychology narrative featuring a real psychic force, the implications for established scientific principles are significant. The introduction of a psi force suggests alterations to particle physics, quantum physics, relativity, and classical physics, as well as consciousness. This force implies a higher power and a non-computational aspect of consciousness, allowing for the manipulation of reality by individuals. While rewriting the laws of physics can provide creative freedom, achieving consistency with existing scientific frameworks may be challenging. Developing a coherent mechanism for the psi force is essential for maintaining narrative plausibility within the fictional world.

heyyy, im writing a sci fi parapsychology related story and it has a bunch of pseudoscience, including a real psi force. to make my story more accurate and to have more ideas I'm curious about the implications of such a force for the rest of science in my fictional world assuming that the force is the main alteration from the real world. essentially, what happens to particle physics, quantum physics, relativity, classical physics, consciousness etc with there being humans who can control a psychic force with their mind and influence reality ? it implies a higher power and non-computational consciousness, correct? so I could incorporate that into the fictional world? I need to come up with a mechanism for all of it too

thank you if anyone helps me w this !!!

Welcome to PF.

There's not a lot of restrictions here. When you rewrite the laws of physics you can say they are anything you want. If you are looking for consistency though, between your new law and the rest of existing physics, you are unlikely to reliably find it.

Here's a thread of speculation about something like this. http://hi.gher.space/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2340 Any further discussion would be better to take place over there instead of here, I think.
 
I was inspired by Jane Hawk trilogy of Dean Koontz. The villains injected people with brain control nanobots, and the possessed humans could form a hive mind. The villain try to do something similar in my story, that is supposed to be rather scientifically realistic, not space fantasy. On the other hand, she cant inject all the people in a town, the nano have to get in by drinkwater, so only a tiny amount for each victim. Is it a bottleneck, how the possessed people will be able to receive...
Earth has one large natural satellite in reality. This is only talking about the context of a habitable, planet that has the conditions as Earth, with similar axial tilt. It would have a moon system similar to that of Uranus. Let's say it has 6 moons, similar in size to Puck, Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. These 6 moons would orbit in safe, stable orbits around the Earth-like planet. What would their apparent size, and realistic distance be from the Earth-like planet? What...
I'm looking to pick the brains for a fantasy story of someone who knows a little about how ancient aquatic reptiles (~65Mya) might have migrated to breeding grounds in ancient Atlantic Ocean and its shores. The premise is that such creatures, last seen 65 million years ago, managed to survive through the ages on the shores of mid-Atlantic islands - now gone - and ended up in (relatively) modern times. The questions are mostly about how their migration patterns for breeding might have...
