A COUPLE QUICK QOUTES FROM EINSTEIN TO MAKE YOU THINK!
“
Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe – a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is indeed quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive.“ (Albert Einstein – Physicist – 1879-1955)
“I’m not an atheist and I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations.” (Albert Einstein – Physicist – 1879-1955)

THE MNPARA-SCI SUPPORTED ALTERNATIVES THEORIES
When I first started my exploration of the paranormal, like so many others before me, my introduction was first based in the widely distributed paranormal folklore of mysticism, spirituality and religion. However not being satisfied with what I had learned, I re-examined my introduction materials closely. What I found were beautifully crafted stories built into the common folklore of religious and paranormal beliefs. Which in their day, using the best language and beliefs available, made attempts to describe what they were encountering. I did find that there were certain key similarities between many accounts which could be looked at more closely. Starting from that standpoint. I sought out what in the modern world could explain actual causation of the paranormal, and not just tell colorful historical accounts of those events. I asked myself… “What today tries to tackle directly, and does evolve to define, the most mysterious events in our universe?” Yes you got it… I delved into science and not just any branch of science either but quantum physics. This is where MN PARA-SCI departs from the accepted and established language set that most religions and paranormal groups use today. In an attempt to use advanced theories of quantum physics to help define what has been commonly labeled “paranormal” or “supernatural”. To step out of the comfort zone of some, and suggest that these unexplained events maybe the product of certain fundamental interactive qualities of space-time and quantum effects. The exact nature of how this occurs is presently unknown, but is hinted at in various fields of scientific research today!
POINTS OF REFERENCE
** From cosmologists and physicists such as Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, an others, I can draw ideas based the foundations for quantum physics. We also can explore the existence of phenomena such as space-time, energy & mass interactions, entanglement, supposition, and black holes. Today, modern cosmologists and physicists, like Steven Hawking, Roger Penrose, Michio Kaku, Briane Greene and many others, have fleshed out these ideas into advanced conceptual theories. From these great minds conceptual theories on the nature of our reality have sprung forth. It is from these contemporary conceptual theories, asserted in science today, that has led MN Para-Sci to sponsor belief in a scientific explanation for certain aspects of paranormal phenomena.
** Asserted by the writings of Steven Hawking, it is suggested that there are micro-wormholes constantly emerging and dissipating on the planck scale level all around us. That these micro-wormholes help create the ”quantum foam” that forms the very matrix of our existence. That they may be connecting all locations in time, space and possibly even other universes together. Steven Hawking’s theories also support the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics, which asserts that we live in an infinite multiverse of parallel realities or universes.

(Additional credit to Bill’s other article, Do Nano-wormholes Compose the Matrix of a Cosmic Over-mind? at Socyberty.com) (Check the published lectures and works of Steven Hawking at his website .)
** David Roundtree, a predominant science based paranormal researcher, has asserted very plausible theories of how the physics of wormholes might be the causation of certain paranormal phenomena. His research and assertions were key in convincing me of possible theories that I now support as alternative explanations paranormal phenomena. These come from his published works on line and in his book paranormal technology.
** Another set of compelling theories and ideas that inspired my belief in a science based explanation for the supernatural and the paranormal, comes from mathematician Roger Penrose and M.D. Stuart Hameroff. Their theory on consciousness asserts that the human mind generates consciousness through a coordinated set of quantum processes in the basic structures of all living things. That these processes somehow tap fundamental elements of consciousness that are pre-existing and embedded in the basic levels of the universe. That these processes allow for the creation of higher consciousness as we experience it. It is also asserted that it may be possible for our consciousness to exist, a least temporarily, outside the brain as entangled quantum information. This, if proven correct, would be huge in establishing the scientific existence of the soul and a possible type of afterlife. (Credit Source: Check out Dr. Hammeroff’s Website:

THE ALTERNATIVE THEORIES
ONE WAY INFORMATION EXCHANGES AT THE VISIBLE BOUNDARY OF EXPANDED MICRO WORMHOLES.
It just might be that what paranormal groups have been calling “Residual Hauntings”, are actually a single direction information flow at the visible boundary of an artificially or naturally expanded micro-wormhole. That it is in the proximity of this boundary, where we can hear sounds, observe images, and even capture emergent phenomena such as an EVP; all of which are coming from some other point in space-time, possibly even another universe.
This original theory, which convinced me of the idea of worm holes as a paranormal source event, comes from the paranormal community by researcher David Roundtree, who in 2005 successfully linked electromagnetic fields as the primary source of EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) which was published in his book Paranormal Technology. In 2010 he discovered that paranormal related EMF was an emergent phenomenon. This has led him to develop a wormhole hypothesis associated with a paranormal event horizon. (Credit: Check the published works of David Roundtree at his website for theories he has on this type of phenomena.)
IMPLICATIONS
In this theory you are experiencing events as they are occurring at some point in the past, present, future or even in a parallel universe! This is a phenomena of information being relayed by natural, incidental or possibly intentional means. In this theory you are not encountering the “spirits” of a departed person, but you are experiencing a form of communication. In wormhole theory it is possible that you are the living and breathing source of a paranormal event, that is being experienced by someone else, at some other location in space time.
TWO WAY INFORMATION EXCHANGES AT THE AT VISIBLE BOUNDARY OF EXPANDED MICRO WORMHOLES.
It just might be that what paranormal groups have been calling “Intelligent Hauntings” or “Portal Hauntings” are actually a two direction information exchange at the visible boundary of an artificially or naturally expanded micro-wormhole. That it is in the proximity of this boundary, where we can hear sounds, observe images, and even capture emergent phenomena such as an EVP. All of which are coming from some other point in space-time, possibely even another universe. What makes this exchange different from the first theory, is that the information flows both ways through the worm-hole. Literally this event becomes an open-line of communication between different points in space & time, or even a parallel universe!

ENCOUNTERS WITH DISEMBODIED QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS AND MICRO WORMHOLE INTERACTIONS.
Another possible explanation for “intelligent hauntings”, “ghosts”, “poltergeists”, “out of body experiences”, “remote viewing”, ”near death experiences”, or even “demons”; may come from a very controversial but seemingly plausible fringe theory, that is coming out of the consciousness studies and quantum physics communities. This theory aims towards the notion that the human brain acts like a quantum computer, that can access certain pre-existing elements of consciousness in the fundamental levels of the universe, and then creates the more complex and personal consciousness we experience on a daily basis.
The specific theory postulated by Penrose and Hameroff suggests the possibility that disembodied consciousness may, at least temporarily, remain intact outside the human brain during times of applied anesthesia severe brain trauma, or even death. This disembodied consciousness lives on in the form of entangled quantum information, as a survival mechanism from having become dissociated from the brain due to quantum de-coherence.
Maybe most incidents of disembodied consciousness, after a given period of time, just go off into the multiverse or maybe they just return to the planck scale of the universe itself and rejoin the primordial source of all consciousness. This would make sense as quantum information, according to what I understand of physics, can never be destroyed. Being made of entangled quantum information, maybe disembodied consciousness utilizes these micro-wormholes to traverse space-time geometry. This might explain some of the reports coming from near death experiences, remote viewing and out of body experiences; where the observer reports being pulled towards and through a tunnel. Then seeing a bright light at the other end. This would also help explain why there are not over a billion voices being recorded every time someone attempts to use a digital audio recorder. Most of them are already gone.
IMPLICATIONS
In this theory you may indeed be encountering the disembodied consciousness of a living person or thing. That the occurrence of being disembodied may be the result of numerous events including death, being placed unconscious by anesthesia, or other conditions that cause the decoherence of the quantum environment that created the consciousness information entanglement. When it comes to a scientific explanation for the soul or ghosts, this is as close as it gets.
QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION
QUESTION – COULD THESE ALTERNATIVES BE WRONG? Of course these theories could be wrong! Most theories put out for peer review, even those posted by actual reputable scientists, are proven wrong on a daily basis. It’s by this process of trial and error, that theories are re-formulated based on new observations. Then slowly but surely theories over time, can evolve into research supported statements of scientific truth. As stated above, I am not a theoretical physicist… Just a guy who likes science, and has a lot of curiosity about the world around him. I would love to see more actual scientists, of international stature, take on this kind of research!
QUESTION – WHAT IS QUANTUM PHYSICS? (MN. Para-Sci defined) This is a branch of physics that deals with matter and energy interactions at the atomic and sub atomic levels. There are five main elements in quantum physics; 1 energy is not continuous but comes in discrete and indivisible units known as “quanta”; 2 elementary particles (photons, electrons, etc…) behave both as a particle and a wave; 3 movement or action of these elementary particles is inherently random; 4 it is physically impossible to know both the action and exact location of an elementary particle at the same time; 5 at the atomic and subatomic levels our universe is nothing like we see on a macro scale. As an unusual feature of quantum physics the mere act of observation, or act of measurement, of any given event will change its net results. Other interesting features including quantum entanglement and supposition are found. This branch of physics also lends itself to the idea of parallel universes existing as well.
QUESTION – WHAT IS QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT? (MN Para-Sci Defined) This unusual phenomena called “spooky action at a distance” by Albert Einstein; is a condition where interaction between electrons, protons, even larger objects like molecules or small diamonds; create an unseen bond or linkage between them. You can physically remove these objects from each other by great distances, and both will still behave in such a manner as to reflect that they are still bonded or linked together. Example: Think of two electrons interacting and become quantum entangled with each other. You then split them apart by several miles. In an experiment you cause one of the electrons to spin in a clockwise fashion; the other electron even though its miles away, will instantly assume an opposite counterclockwise spin, reflecting a reaction to what you did to its partner.
QUESTION – YOU TALK ABOUT THE PLANCK SCALE, HOW SMALL IS THAT? Planck scale is many time smaller by orders of magnitude than an electron. It is subatomic in size. It is so small that the concepts of distance and size break down. It is the base level where the fundamental structures and information in the universe exists. Some schools of thought depict this region as a frothy energetic sea of micro worm holes which emerge and dissipate rapidly, creating the fabric that holds our reality together. Still trying to wrap your mind around something that small? Here’s an analogy of just how truly impossible in detail this level of existence is…
Think of yourself sitting in your back yard with a descent sized telescope and you’re looking out into space… You can see the moon, you can see its big craters and mountains pretty easily. With a really good telescope you can count the smaller craters and even observe some of the massive boulder sized objects there. Now image you are trying to use a telescope to count grains of sand… on a distant planet… in another solar system that is light years away from Earth.
Sounds pretty impossible doesn’t it? That’s just how small in detail this scale is. That why it’s impossibly hard for scientists to make any direct observations about this realm. Much of the deductions about this realm come from advanced mathematical theorems and from observations of high energy collisions inside super colliders like the ones at the LHC and CERN.
Above is a 5 minute video diving into just how small the planck scale is!
QUESTION – WHY IS PARANORMAL PHENOMENA SO RANDOM AND INFREQUENT? The apparent randomness of paranormal phenomena may stem from the nature of quantum physics itself. Which suggests that events on the planck scale are random. This may apply to the emergence of paranormal phenomena as well if it is coming from this scale. Looking at micro-wormholes as conduits to other locations in space and time; one has to understand that only the smallest percentage of the universe, at any given point in time, is occupied by our world or other enviroments like our own. So the likelihood of a micro-wormhole opening and closing, randomly hitting target locations where observable life events are ongoing, is impossibly small. Most of the time, these micro-wormholes will be connected to nothing more that empty space.
QUESTION – WHY IS PARANORMAL PHENOMENA SO HARD TO STUDY IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT? I suspect that one of the reasons it will be very hard to study paranormal phenomena from a true scientific angle, will stem from a major rule in quantum physics. (Heisenberg Uncertainty) On the smallest of scales, it is impossible to know both the exact motion and the exact location of any sub particulate such as electrons, photons, etc… Even in quantum physics this has been a huge hurdle; which has been addressed having to use huge devices like the LHC or other super particle colliders. To understand just how small of a scale were dealing with think of this analogy; think of a person using a telescope to count individual grains of sand on a beach, located on another planet, in another solar system!
The scale is so small it can only be conceptualized using mathematical models and indirectly observed inside high energy environments like a super collider. As to the creation of micro-wormholes in a controlled environment such as a laboratory. Again we have to accept our limitations and side from using something like the Large Hadron Collider, or another super particle collider, the creation of micro wormholes is only theoretical. Controlling one is even farther outside our scientific ability… maybe in a couple hundred years… For the time being we have to settle for setting up and capturing data from serendipitous locations where they occur naturally, and that’s what most paranormal investigators are already doing. As to replication of consciousness experiments. Good news is that this is already ongoing and posted online for peer review frequently. This is one area where research will likely advance quickly and help establish proof for the other theories.
Now the bad news… Not everyone can do this… It requires advanced medical-scientific training and access to scientific-medical equipment that is completely beyond the budget of any paranormal researcher. Most of us do not have access to things like a MRI & CAT Scan Imager, or EEG monitor for private usage. As paranormal researchers we are relegated to watching the advances of main stream medical research and quantum physics, which has the funding and equipment. The upside for the amateur researcher is that there are smaller things we can do. Like look for alpha, beta, and theta wave patterns (brain wave patterns) in the analysis of certain events such as EVP, by using equipment like an oscilloscope. The downside being they are still a bit pricey and most people do not have the technical training to use one effectively. But this is within reach of many groups if they invest the time and some resources. We can also track various elements associated with paranormal events like ion counts, gamma ray emissions, general radiation levels, EMF levels and temperature fluctuations… which are in all likelihood indicative of an emergent physical event like a worm-hole occurring.
QUESTION - SO DOES RELIGION HAVE IT ALL WRONG THEN? Now before everyone gets bent out of shape, or forms an angry mob screaming HERESY!!! I would have say no to that assertion. This is where MN PARA-SCI does on come back into some agreement with religious and spiritual groups.
What I suspect is that these groups are not wrong in many respects. What I believe is they use a different language set to explain the exact same events and phenomena. Understand most religions are based on texts and beliefs that are thousands of years old. If you could go back in time a thousand years, and ask the most enlightened men or women of that day to examine and explain things like modern surgery, lasers, computers, airplanes,holograms, cars and yes… the science of quantum phenomena; they would call it “magic” or “supernatural”. So if we apply modern language to a 1000+ year old dogmatic explanation, the soul could very well be disembodied and entangled quantum information. What some groups call heaven, may very well be the planck scale or another fundamental layer of the universe, where everything including consciousness comes from. By asserting such, I am not suggesting anyone reading this article go out and subscribe to an alternative belief system. What I do know is that our existing religious beliefs explain to us the exact same thing in a different manner. That we are one people tied together, in and by something greater than ourselves.
I think Albert Einstein put it best: “We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations.”
IN CONCLUSION: It would seem our world is a far stranger place than we could have ever imagined. One just has to look at the fields of medical science and physics to see that. Our ability to define reality advances at an ever accelerating pace. Any theories posted here today, may be significantly altered, or even completely dismissed, by tomorrow. I do firmly believe that science has the ability to eventually define what is going on around us. So stay tuned folks and watch what develops… It’s an exciting time to be alive in!
THE TRADITIONAL PARANORMAL DEFINITIONS
The following defintions are commonly used in the paranormal community to define paranormal phenomena. These definitions are being posted here as necessary background reference for the supported alternative para-science theories posted above. Keep in mind that these definitions are not all-inclusive, nor do they represent the theories held as “most plausible” by MNPARA-SCI.
