I guess that, literally, it means       "Above" or "Beyond" the natural world. I guess that then leaves       to to answer the questions, "What is natural?" And it's not so       easy to answer.              If an observation lacks a natural explanation then it's a       candidate for the "Supernatural" (paranormal), but what you'd       really want is an observation that not only lacks a natural       explanation but contradicts the laws of nature (science). This       in itself wouldn't "Prove" the supernatural but it sure does       open some doors!              I find the subject fascinating because it separates the thinkers       from the fakers. The fakers are just going to auto-claim       anything, the thinkers LOVE not having answers, all the more so       if they should have them!              Remember Oumuamua?              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BBOumuamua              The fakers took one look and screamed "ALIENS!" or "NOT ALIENS!"       but the thinkers and said, "Wow! It appears to accelerate       without any type of thrust? Imagine what this could mean for       space exploration if we could figure this one out!"              See the difference? For the thinkers it didn't matter WHAT       Oumuamua was -- rock or alien craft -- it was a mystery which,       if we solved, could mean a whole lot to us...                                                                                                  --       https://jtem.tumblr.com/tagged/The%20Book%20of%20JTEM/page/5              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
