They blinded us with science

i am an engineer trained in scientific research, but i want to ask scientists, who i know are brilliant and inquisitive about man's life and well-being. I want to know what particle constitutes a spirit..just like light which is made up of particles called photons. Is it energy? matter? why do we see ghosts? what are they made of?

First is that true science as opposed to psuedoscience that is an apparent scientific truth with claimed apparent scientific notions is not blinding. True science is a body of systematic study and pursuit of the truth, it is also and should be logical, verifiable, repeatable, universally publishable work ergo it cannot be made to blind nor is blinding. Being engaged in applied physics work myself in the area of experimental optics and physics instrumentation already for almost a decade now my experience shows that every published work in a peer reviewed scientific journal our lab did has always been a combination of sound theory and backed up by hard experimental data and its correlation after many iterations. It is a product of thinking and rethinking of a good research problem and realizing them on a experimental set-up with your collaborators. For Etong here who claimed to have a scientific training it is better for him to go back to his physics textbook and reread the chapter in optics and electromagnetism then if he is able to hurdle them moved on in the area of modern physics ideas the finish with Quantum Mechanics.

to etong:
if you are really "trained in scientific research" you would know that "ghosts" are not recognized as physical entities, and that ghosts are spirits don't exist. you will never find any valid and legitimate scientific journals about ghosts. if you want to learn more about them consult your local "manghuhula", "albularyo", and read more comic books. :-)

Spirit is non-material. You cannot compare it with anything that is within the material world. Thus, it is not made out of anything.

My hero is Abdus Salam of Pakistan. Aside from being coawardee of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979 for his work on the electroweak theory, he pursued a lifelong passion for ensuring that scientists in the relatively poorer countries of the South are given opportunities to do fundamental scienctific research at the highest level. In other words for ensuring that no field of scientific research is to be regarded as "pang-mayamang bansa lang". His eforts lead to the creation of institutions such as the International Center for Theoretical Physics and the Third World Academy of Science.

It doesn't really pay to be a scientist here. Pacman or Bata produce more fans to be like them in the future. If only our education system and the government could create a conducive environment for aspiring scientist, then there would be more comments on this section.
