Parapsychology : Science or pseudo-Science

It's important to know why some people consider parapsychology as a science and some others as pseudo-science.
Many of the supporters and practitioners insist
that parapsychology is a valid
scientific enterprise. But it seems that those
involved in more mainstream fields
often have little derision
towards it . Parapsychological Association was accepted as an affiliate of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science in the year 1969.
Despite all this, it is not possible to say that
parapsychology is truly scientific .Most of mainstream science
completely ignores parapsychology.Claims of psychic powers present a
problem for traditional science
because they imply the existence of
powers which are not merely
unknown to science, but which in fact
contradicts the well-established scientific
laws and understandings of how
universe works. This does not mean
that claims of psychic powers are
necessarily false, but rather, their
existence is a priori unlikely.
Parapsychology tend to overthrow some of the well established scientific principles as given below:

1 . Future events cannot affect the
present before they occur.

2 . A person ’s mind cannot affect the
material world without the mediation
of some physical energy or force .

3 . One person cannot know the
content of a second person ’ s mind
except through the observation of
speech or behavior .

4 . A person cannot obtain knowledge
of a distant point in space without
sensory experience of that point or
the transmission of energy .

5 . A person ’s personality and
memories are dependent upon the
existence and proper functioning of
their physical brain .

This creates significant empirical
consequences.We already
have a tremendous amount of
empirical evidence which indicates
that our current understandings are
correct and implies the need for the re-working of the most fundamental laws of physics
and our understandings of matter and
energy.

What is Parapsychology?

Parapsychology is the study of the
evidence for psychological phenomena ,
such as telepathy , clairvoyance , and
psychokinesis, that are inexplicable by
science. It is a phenomena that appear
to contradict physical laws and suggest
the possibility of causation by mental
processes.


Parapsychology investigates the claimed abilities of some individuals to
interact with the environment in ways not yet explained by science.


In popular culture the study of parapsychology is perceived as the study of the existence, causes and conditions of psychic abilities , near-death experiences, out-of-body experience, crisis apparitions , retro-cognitions, reincarnation
memories, regression memories, prophecy , ghosts and life after death .



Parapsychology does
investigate psychic claims.Parapsychological experiments have
included the use of random number
generators to test for evidence of
precognition and psychokinesis with
both human and animal subjects and the Ganzfeld experiments as
test for extrasensory perception.
Speaking strictly, parapsychology would not include the scientific study
of ghost sightings , Tarot or astrology .
Parapsychology research is now conducted
in about 30 different countries round the globe.
