Evidence that Ghosts do not exist

Ghosts do not exist. 

Even if they do, they are far more petrified of human beings than we are scared of them. Ask yourself these questions:

·        Why  don’t they appear when there are a lot of people around
·        Why don’t they appear in broad daylight when people can see them clearly
·        Why do they only appear to frighten people who are alone and only at night?
·        Countless billions upon billions of people have already died since time immemorial. So this means there should be countless numbers of ghosts and spirits floating all over every cubic centimeters of space on Earth.
·        How is it there is  none around people can see whether night or day? Where have they gone if they are departed spirits of dead people?
·        Surely at least one can be seen floating around whether day or night. But there is none so far.
·        The human mind hallucinates when they are frightened and starts to imagine things which are never there in the first place.
·        How it is that only one person can see, and yet the other could not see anything in the same room.
·        If ghosts exist, then they must show up to prove to us their existence. But they failed to do so
·        Is this because they are more scared of us, than we of them?
·        If they are stronger than us than they should appear in front of everybody in the same room or place.

Dear Mr. Ghost, please remember, a living person has a physical body + mind + body chemistry + soul.  

If you Mr. Ghost exist, you will only have a soul without a body or a solid structure,    or blood and you will not have the  biochemistry and chemical reactions needed, plus  vital force or energy (life or qi) inside you that we have.

So how can ghosts  be stronger than us – a living body. When ghosts sees us with all these structures and vitality which they do not have, they will instantly avoid us especially when there are too many of us around, all armed with all these gadgets: 

body +  chemistry + spirit + life.

When they see these,  will instantly run away from us. They will be scared.

In short, according to my scientific reasoning, this mathematical equation just does not tally:

Composition of Living Human Body (Equation 1):

Bones + muscles + nerves + blood +  chemicals in the body + fluid + nutrients + oxygen + carbon dioxide + body electrical energy + thinking power + physical strength + vital force (life forces which is the most important energy in a living body) plus spirit or soul

Composition of Ghost (Equation 2):

Soul without the rest of the above

Hence mathematically, Equation 1 ≠ (is not equal to) to Equation 2

If you look at my 2 equations above, you will instantly agree with me we are stronger than Mr. Ghost.

This means  they  and all their dead friends  would be  more scared of us than we are frighten of them,  especially in the daytime when sunlight (E = mc²) add more power and oomph to all the ingredients I have listed above. 

We know the solar constant is 120 watts of heat energy per square meter. But it is 1370 watts / m² of power over all wavelengths. When integrated over a surface area of a sphere like on this Earth the area A:  

          2π     π

^A  = ∫₀   ∫₀  r^2 sin θ dθ dφ = 4 π^2

whose radius (r) is the Earth-Sun distance.  

To cut short the calculations, this implies that the Sun generates 

3.826 x 10²⁶ Watts of power which is derived from the destruction of about 600,000,000 tons of hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei.

Our Sun pumps out about 386 billion million gigawatts  of energy  into space.

This mass to energy equivalent is approx 5 million tons of mass per second being converted  to generate  this quantity of energy over the Earth's surface, half of which will be in the daytime when ghosts are afraid  and do not come out

We receive about 1370 Watts  / m² of power from the Sun over all wavelengths. When integrated over a sphere whose radius is the Earth-Sun distance this implies that the Sun generates:

  

3.826 x 10²⁶ Watts of power.  

Recall that one Watt is 1 Joule/second. A Joule is a unit of energy.

In one second the Sun  releases: 

 E = 3.8 x 1026 Joules / sec

149,680,000 km x 1000 = 149,680 million meters

But not a bit of quantum of this energy is given to ghosts.  That's why ghosts and the air around them are so cold 

Sorry lah! Mr. Ghost I have just proved to you this power and light is too much for to bear in broad daylight.

Aren't you not afraid of all this light from the Sun? That's why you only come out at night when there is no power and light 

Hence I, Lim Ju Boo is not afraid of you Mr. Ghost because I have  proved  to  you and for  every living soul existing on this Planet Earth that you don’t exist, and even you do, you only dare  to  come out at night to frighten people when they are alone 

I challenge you to have an appointment with me at anytime, and at anyplace even in the dark which is your favourite haunt-out. 

I need to interview you urgently.

How Do I Explain the Existence of Ghosts My Way

 

 

How Do We Explain if Ghosts Exist?

 

Recently I started a chat on ghosts among friends

Having said ghosts do not exists here:

 

https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/search?q=ghost+does+not+exist

 

There are relatives and friends of mine who insisted ghosts exist.

 

For instance, my sister-in-law and her father, both are uneducated. They have not read any books, have not been exposed to any other western cultures or foreign belief system, and yet they told me one thing in common which is also shared among all cultures, races, and religions who have seen ghosts in their lives.

 

What they all described was that the air in the room or in the hall suddenly became very cold and chilly a few minutes earlier before a ghost appeared before them. They also described there was a draft of wind blowing into the room, hall and in house soon after the temperature suddenly dropped, and also objects being moved.

 

Moments later they saw an apparition that seemed to appear from nowhere. A former schoolmate of mine years ago went further to tell me he too saw the ghost of his grandmother entering the house through the wall and disappeared the same way.

 

My sister-in-law described to me many years ago, not long after my father died, how on a few occasions she was alone past midnight on the top floor of our two-story shop house in Batu Pahat, Johore, Malaysia when suddenly there was some rustling noises she heard in the second room as if someone was crumbling or playing with some papers or plastic bags in that room. It was  a few  nights after my late father passed away. It was in the same room he used to stay.

 

She peeped through the frosted glass between the first and second room and what she saw was a face leaning and waving against the frosted glass separating the two rooms.

 

She thought it was her husband. But it could not be, because he had already gone out of the house  earlier for some work, after which she already locked the main door downstairs. She was then alone in the house. She called out who was there, but there was no answer.

 

She then decided to check, admittedly quite brave of her.  Moments earlier the air in the hall upstairs where she was became very, very cold, and drafty. Even then, she went to the second room to check, but there was no one there. The noise also stopped when she entered the room. She returned to the hall only to see the face and part of a body again appearing through the glass from the next room. Again there was that rustling noise of some one playing or searching through some plastic or paper bags.in that room.

 

She called out again who was there. But again there was no answer, except the rustling sounds of paper being crumbled She then look through the corridor outside and there she saw a figure in white somewhat looked like my father emerging from the second room and floated into the stairways below.

 

I think I remember she told me she went after the figure, and saw it floated down into kitchen before disappearing. I remember she said she witnessed the same thing on a number of occasions even when her late husband was sleeping in another room at the back of  our shop house.

 

My wife just told me our youngest daughter who was working alone a few times late into the night in her office also heard of rustling noises and objects dropping loudly in the next room, and often she felt someone sitting beside her when she was alone. 

 

There were numerous stories being told to me by a number of my former school mates who also saw ghosts along our school corridors, in the book shop next to the school science laboratory, and in the school hall upstairs where lights were switched on and off repeatedly, and even the piano being played there upstairs in the dark in the middle of the night, but there was no one there.

 

Such stories do exist, including one experienced by two Malaysian tourists in our tour group a few years ago inside  their room of a huge isolated hotel situated on a hill top in China. They told us of sudden cold air in the bathroom when they were bathing before the water stopped suddenly, and then ‘something’ appeared in their room.  

 

The word “ghost” exists in all languages throughout the world, and in all cultures, and even since biblical times during Jesus time.

 

If ghosts are only a belief confined only to certain cultures, then that word would not appear elsewhere in the languages among other cultures and civilizations because ghosts  had never existed in their cultures.

 

I have travelled to many countries during my students’ days, and I have met people there who told me their experiences with apparitions and ghosts. Almost all, describe ghosts as restless wandering souls of deceased persons and their encounters were almost similar to each other.

 

Having very briefly giving a few examples among countless stories I have been told, it rests on me how do I explain all that?

 

Personally I have never seen a ghost before, but if I am asked how to explain their appearances, the sudden drop in the temperatures, the drafts in the room or house, their ability to come out through a wall, and go through it, here’s what have to offer:

 

Matter and Energy Equivalent:

 

It is well know there is a relationship between matter and energy as prescribed by the well-known equation of Albert Einstein. It is given as E = mc², where E = energy input or output, m = mass of matter being created or destroyed, and c = the speed of light (299,792,458 m /s).

 

 We can clearly see from this simple equation a tremendous amount of energy is released by the complete destruction of say just 1 gm of matter. This works out to be 9 x 10 ¹³ Joules.

 

In practice it is far easier to destroy matter to give out energy as in a nuclear reactor, in an atom bomb, or in the fusion of hydrogen into helium in the Sun or in the stars than to create matter out of energy.

 

However, Oliver Pike, Felix Mackenroth, Edward Hill and Steve Rose have suggested one way  to create matter from energy is to turn photons that are particles of light, into an electron and its antiparticle, a positron? But I don’t think it has ever been done.

 

Leaving that aside, if ghost exists they must have come from another dimension or another world where they are very capable of changing energy into very tiny  amounts of matter when they materialize here in our world.  

 

If ghosts and spirits are non-physical entities from outside our physical dimensions unknown to us; and when they appear into our physical world, then they need to obey our existing laws of physics before they can materialize into some kind of hazy matter, perhaps as ultra-fine very light masses such as light or some kind of plasma?

 

 If that is true, then our laws of physics may not necessary be apply universally in other worlds from where they came or in other parts of the Universe?

 

In order for ghosts to materialize, they need tremendous amounts of energy; and for every gm of their appearance they will need an equivalent of 90,000,000,000,000 joules of energy?

 

Hence in my thinking it would not possible for them to materialize into some solid body where we can touch, weigh and measure as this would requires a horrendous amount of energy through energy-matter conversion. This amount of energy would be far, far more than all the energy output from all the nuclear reactors on Earth.

 

The only way for their appearance, it has to be some kind of a light, an image with a mass probably less than sub-atomic particles. It may be in the form of plasma, with a mass that is so light, that attempting to touch or capture them  would be similar to trying to feel, touch, or catching light from a lamp source.

 Incidentally, light made of photons has no mass, but light has energy, exert pressure, and is affected by gravity - like light from a distant galaxy is bent by a massive object between the galaxy and Earth. We call this effect 'gravitational lensing' - like light being focused by a lens. If the source  of light, lens and Earth is in perfect alignment (syzygy) the light appears as a ring - called Einstein ring or Einstein -Chwolson (named after Obrest Chwolson) ring. 

Ghosts may use up heat energy in the region around its image, and their presence may be regions around a strong electromagnetic field.

 

In order they can materialize, it needs to draw a lot of heat energy from the air in room, hall or house causing a very sharp drop in the temperature. It is just a matter of converting large amounts of heat energy into very minute amounts of matter, so fine and light in their mass that we cannot even feel or  touch it.

 

Then what about the drafts of air my sister-in-law and many others also experienced and described? This is a very simple to answer. When air or any matter cools, it contracts.

 

When the air contracts inside the room due to the very sharp drop in the temperatures, the warmer air outside drifted into the room to occupy the space. This  causes a draft and the warmer air being drawn will further cooled to provide further energy for their continuing brief appearances. So simple! 

 

As for objects being moved around, it is the excess unused heat energy from the air that turns the heat into a force for motion since nothing can move without an external force acting equally on it as described in Newton's Third Law of Motion.   

 

Entering and Disappearing through Walls:

 

 

As to what my former school mate told me he saw the ghost of his grandmother entering the locked door of his house, and later disappearing through it, how do you want me to explain that?

 

As I have already explained, the image of the apparition could possibly be made of ultra-light particles with a mass unlike the photons of light that is massless (without mass). They then appear as an image of the ghost seen as light.

 

 An analogy to explain that phenomenon, is similar to an image of light seen in a dark room where we shine torchlight on the wall. We instantly see the light on the wall as if it came from or through the wall, and when we switch off the torchlight, the light instantly disappears from the wall as if it entered or went through it. It is so simple again to explain.

 

The analogy of a beam of light turned on and off on the wall, is the same as their image apparently appearing through a wall and also disappearing through the wall. They are just ultra-light particles that glows in the form of a ghost. 

 

It is often said ghosts appear normally in the dark or in dim lights. Of course it has to, because it is just some kind of glowing plasma emitted from sub-atomic size particles converted by the heat in the surrounding air. The surrounding light needs to be very low for the fainter image to stand out.  

 

For that matter, it may also be possible for them to be present in the daytime, except the overpowering light of the day makes them too faint to be seen, if not for the reason that ghosts are afraid of us in the daytime as we argued earlier that ghosts do not exist given in the link above.

 

I try my best using whatever I know in science and physics to hypothesize. If this is not satisfactory, then I have no clue what ghosts are, and if they exist?

 

I have personally have never seen a ghost myself. I used to work in a room all by myself at the Institute for Medical Research in Kula Lumpur where I did my research. I was told by my colleagues my room was haunted.

 

I used to work and stayed in my room well after my office hours at 4:15 pm, and stayed there alone till 10 pm or even near midnight to work on the thesis for nearly 3 years for my PhD, but I have not even once seen or encountered a ghost inside my solitary room or heard any noise there except for the low hum of the air-conditioner.  If I had I  would have said “hello” and try to communicate with it.    

 

I hope my explanation  helps.

 

I will appreciate it tremendously if readers can give me their feedbacks and comments

A friend from the UK yesterday (20 October, 2022) sent me these two links on the existence of life after life, and also if ghosts exist. Makes interesting reading: Have a look at the views of others too:

Did Jesus Arise from Dead and How?

 

Dear Barry,

 

Thank you for your comment under this article here:

 

https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/search?q=spARK+OF+LIFE

 

Indeed, nobody this far has tried to explain how Jesus arose from the dead after being crucified? It is a good question I was wondering myself.

 

I have not heard this explained before, either by any church or by anyone. Everyone tried to avoid giving the answer, except all merely believed Jesus arose from the dead which I too believe in faith.  

 

Let me try to offer an explanation. Hopefully I will not be spiritually and scientifically misled in thoughts.

 

But first let us look at these verses moments Jesus died, and also the account when He raised up Lazarus from his grave:

 

“Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

 

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

 

Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

 

And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink.

 

The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

 

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

 

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose”

 

(Matthew 27: 45-51).

 

The way I see what was written, Jesus had a soul in Him before releasing it temporarily for some 3 days or less before it was reunited with His dead body just as much as Jesus managed to return the soul of Lazarus to his body after he was dead for 4 days.

 

Jesus Raises Lazarus

 

“Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

 

Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 

 

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead were laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.  And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 

 

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.  And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go”.

 

(John 11: 38 – 44)

 

It was written in the King James Version of the Bible that Jesus gave up His ghost and died. In other versions the word ‘ghost’ was written as ‘spirit’ which to me was His soul, an entity yet to be defined, detected or measured by science.

 

Yet, we know life exist in a living body made up of nucleic acids or DNA, proteins, sugars, hormones, enzymes, electrolytes, muscles and skeletons, etc, to cause them to strangely be able to feed, creep, reproduce itself, breathe, respond to stimuli by themselves, and when it leaves the body all these chemical components that makes up life stopped immediately and become lifeless. There must be something living residing in these life molecules to make them come alive. But what is it?

 

We need to ask ourselves why something that was living moments ago, suddenly dies moments later? The most mystifying question we need to ask is, where did that life disappear moments later?

 

Like matter and energy that cannot be destroyed, but matter can be converted into energy, so neither can time, space and life be extinguished. It has to go somewhere, perhaps returned to the Universe from where it first originated

 

See “Does a soul exist?”

 

See “How Do We Explain if Ghosts Exist?” under “Evidence that Ghosts do not exist” here:

 

https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/2020/05/evidence-that-ghosts-do-not-exist.html

 

 

When Jesus physically died His soul, ghost or spirit temporary left Him but was reunited with His dead body once again 3 days later in physical form - at least clearly to me here in these verses:

 

Jesus Appears at the Sea of Galilee

 

“After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. 

 

This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. (John 21:1 - 14)

 

^“And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

 

And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

 

Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet…it went on till verse 51 where it says “And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven”

 

(Luke 24:36-51)

 

All in Jesus appeared to His disciples at least 10 times in human physical form after His death. See this slide:

 

https://aleteia.org/slideshow/how-many-times-did-jesus-appear-after-his-resurrection/6/

 

The only verse where Jesus told Mary Magdalene

not to touch Him was when Jesus first came out from His tomb

(John 20:17)

 

Most people believe ghosts are some kind of apparition, spectre or the spirit of someone who has departed. Most would agree ghosts are some kind of non-physical non-material beings. Others believe they are restless souls of dead people roaming on earth in certain haunted places. But does life exist after death, and do the dead come back?

 

Here’s some discussion:

 

https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/2022/08/does-life-exist-after-death.html

 

Almost all believe once someone dies, they do not return anymore, except in a few exceptions when they experienced clinical death during attempts to resuscitate them.

 

In such cases, they suffer temporary clinical death, but not biological death. They are unlike Jesus and Lazarus who came back in bodily form after 3 – 4 days.  

 

In very rare cases there is an occurrence called “Lazarus phenomenon” in which when someone who seems to be dead shows signs of life again, typically several minutes after doctors and paramedics stopped giving them cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and presumed they are dead.

 

In the case of Jesus there were many whom He raised from the dead, such as in Mark 5:21-24, 35-43, Matthew 9:18-26 and in Luke 8:49-56.

 

We read about the 12-year-old daughter of a synagogue leader named Jairus in Capernaum who was raised from the dead. In these cases, their souls were reunited with their dead bodies, but in all other cases, once a person dies, his / her soul leaves the body forever.

 

In Jesus case, His ghost left Him when He was crucified as in Matthew 27:50, but it was reunited with His body once again after 3 days in His tomb when Sabbath was over, first witnessed by Mary Magdalene.

(Mark 16:1–4)

It was the same when Jesus raised up Lazarus and others by bringing their souls to join back with their dead bodies.

 

It is quite apparent to me that Jesus appeared in physical body form again, and not in the form of a spirit or ghost after His death so that His disciples could touch Him and even ate with them, and that His ghost or spirit was actually His indestructible “life energy” residing inside a physical body made up of nucleic acids, proteins, hormones, enzymes, sugars, fats, water, eletrolytes, etc. 

In other words, 'life forces' in a living body is like matter and energy that are transmutable and transformable.

 

I gave this a thought in the bathroom when I went in to bathe a short while ago after reading your comment a few hours earlier, and came out from the bathroom with this answer. 

I hope I am guided to write correctly and truthfully as I always seek God’s guidance first.

 

May this always be so.

 

Amen.
