TOPIC: Has bigfoot been found?
[Deep Freeze] Saturday, December 13, 2008 12:03:35 PM 
Sorry strat, I don't understand him either! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT, since you AND the lovely MG have opened the door to further conversation on the subject.... HAHAHAHAAA!!!!  Actually MG, we were discussing the unlikeliness of ghosts and spirits. I have been reading on the physics involved and managed to (in MY mind) debunk much of this ghost nonsense. And so, let us continue!

It is said that ghosts are "immaterial" in nature. That is to say they can pass through solid objects and whatnot, yet we are told that people hear "footsteps" and doors opening and so on.  This is inconsistent with the laws of motion and force. For a "ghost" to walk, it would require an interaction with the floor. One of the Laws of Motion is intertia (a body at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by external force).  One cannot walk unless force is applied to the floor, yet we are told ghosts are immaterial. How could the floor know to exert force without Newton's third law (equal but opposite reaction)? The force applied against the floor causes opposite force (motion) to walk. So which is it? Are ghosts immaterial or not?   Maybe they have supernatural powers that defy  the laws of physics? Maybe they can "turn it on and off"?  More interesting is that this power is used to mimick human ambulation (walking) which is actually a very slow and awkward way of getting about in the grand scheme of things. It occurs to me that a ghost of such incredible talents would use a much more efficient mode to get about.
