Do you believe in ghosts?

[Dahakon]

I have never seen a ghost and though I would have liked to believe people go on in some form I had always logically discounted it until I had experience of what must be the opposite of ghosts - spirits of the unborn.

Reincarnation means that the ghosts of the dead are also the ghosts of the unborn.

how is my believing in anything going to change things? (also this is my opinion of religion).

Sometimes it can make a change to your life maybe?

You want the truth? You can't handle the truth.

you forgot the 'No truth-handler are you! Bah! I deride your truth-handling abilities!' part its what makes a good quote a fucking funny quote

Exactly, in the norm it would dissipate.. but normally we dont all turn into ghosts . Surely given enough focus such as trauma (the commonly believed characteristic of when a person turns into a ghost)it would be emited at a far greated rate than it would normally i.e. when cells die rapidly as when a cell dies there is no more electrochemical energy, therefore no more barrier between the posotive and negative ions. Given enough cells dying in rapid succesion and the right conditions, surely is feasible that they are released in enough quantity to create a electromagnetic field?

Well in reality the electrochemical potential get destroyed and replenished all the time, so when you die, the electrochemical potential is just destroyed and not replenished. Aka, you wouldnt be emitting any extra big electromagnetic pulse when you die. Thats one argument against that. The next argument is that the cells in your body doesnt all die at the same time. They dont die till a little after the blood stops flowing -> buildup of chemical waste in your cell from various processes. So would be varying. Which again means that you would emit less and less electromagnetic radiation (lesser and lesser seen from your live state).

Ok, lets assume that you do emit a 'big' electromagnetic pulse when you die. Well if i know what electromagnetic radiation is it will act just as light for example (which is also electromagnetic radiation, but of a different wavelength than your body prolly emits). So you might be able to imagine what happens to that radiation. It just gets absorbed by the surroundings.

And by the way, i dont think you measure any electromagnetic radiation when the Na+, K+, Cl- ion potential gets destroyed (aka nerve signal), but instead a magnetic field...

In terms of your ball example, i would say at a sstretch instead of the ball bouncing and the heat it demited when hitting the floor dissipating it hit it another 100 times, the heat would be focused on that same spot making that spot hot

well in that case the energy in form of heat would be delivered to the colder area to heat it to same temperature as the heat, or to cool it down, when its cold enough it will go the other way etc. so no place would get hot, unless it bounces 100 times in a milisecond and you touch it afterwards it would feel warm, but quickly it would travel to other regions of the area.

Well to get my example straight the ball looses SOME of its energy as heat to the floor....

But my point was that you dont see it go the other way around, and heats changes into motion in the ball like that.

(it would require all the molecules to move in the same direction at once, and thats a problem since you got something like 10^20 molecules in the area the ball hits ^_^)
