People participated in Bigthink.com recently a video clip Bill Nay answers a question from a woman and her son about ghosts.
We have a question about your view of ghosts, and what you think is happening to your life after your death. Is it just pushing the dwarfs? “
I gave a great opportunity for me to answer a question that many people posed over the centuries.
The answers provided by NYE are less than inspiration. His first mistake is the treatment of ghosts and brokers as one subject when this is not simply the case. The risk specialist will study psychological allegations, but usually not ghosts and haunted homes. The (gay) researcher will search for ghosts and haunted homes, but not brokers.
Nai states that he is a member of many skeptical societies that “looked and searched for haunted homes or ghosts in graves or brokers who believe they are in contact with the people who died and there is no reliable evidence.”
What I think means is that skeptical investigators routinely examine the evidence provided by people who claim to provide evidence of such things, and they find that they are less than convincing and certainly do not reach the standard. No doubtful society is aware that I am aware of the investigations to find active evidence that would be a project in the false scientific.
In the video, Nay also talks about Harry Houdini and the symbol that Bahdini promised to deliver after his death if the ghosts are real. It seems completely confused, although he says:
You may know that Hodeni, the famous magician, said: “If anyone can return from the dead, I am a man. I’m coming. He did not communicate with anyone, no one heard from him. However, a secret word between him and his mother said, as you know, I will give you the secret word when he returns. You know what is the secret word? Nobody knows! It was secret! Never no longer! “
The word code was shared between Houdini and his wife Piece. The word was also published in Houdini’s credit biography written by Harold Keloc, entitled Hoodini, his life story.
Those who only listen to the release of Nay will not know the truth and may be absent from the insight that Hodeni’s story in the human relationship with ghosts.
For a while, Piece believed that Hodini continued from behind the grave, but it is likely that this was her way of dealing with her grief after his death. This was written in detail by Massimo Abilify Polidoro offer for skeptical inquiries You can read about it here.
This is something we see until today. Ghosts are a mechanism to keep pace with many people and research has shown that some people Take advantage of the belief that the deceased love visits them in the form of a ghost. That is why I found myself growing from Nay when, at the end of the video, tells the woman who asked the question that she could outperform her friends who believe in ghosts.
“Your friends who believe in ghosts – you can overcome them. You before them because you will not waste the energy to search for ghosts.”
Oh, hun. No, do not believe in ghosts, it does not make you a superior person. You only need to see skeptics talking about politics and you will see that lack of faith =/= intelligence.
People who believe in ghosts are not stupid. Often they are looking for people looking to close or try to know what they lived. I must know because I am the result of this line of thinking. People who ask these questions do not waste their time to do so.
Although NYE is technically right that research has not provided any evidence of the survival of the human “spirit”, this is not the sum of ghosts or even supernatural research.
Some people who believe in ghosts do not believe that ghosts are the human spirit. Some people do not believe that haunted homes are inhabited by ghosts, some people believe in ghosts but not inhabited homes.
Super research is a complex and strange field of study regardless of the direction you deal with. Even those who were looking for this field for decades learn new things all the time, which is why research is continuing. The confidence that Nay refused these ideas is that he is an expert, but his incorrect data prove otherwise.
It is a behavior like this that makes me think I am right when I recently wrote on how SNOBS Science makes us all stupid. And you can take my words for that because I am a member of many skeptical societies – and even on the blackboard for anyone.
I liked Nay saying that “the evidence indicates that ghosts are not real but…”, Because we have a lot to learn and teach it about human awareness of the experiences that people report. to explain Ideomotor response or Paridolia effect Minds can blow. As skeptical, we can do well to remember that just because we have knowledge, not everyone, and this can be used to involve people. It is not the non -Mustakic chapter.
Knowledge is strong only if you share it.
