超常现象

维基百科,自由的百科全书

超常现象(英语:Paranormal),又称灵异现象,是指与科学和常识相互矛盾的现象。因为超常现象无法用已存在的逻辑架构、或普遍被接受的现实知识来解释。

定义

[编辑]

这些真实性未获科学实证验证的现象,通常不被主流的科学家所承认,所以“难以再现”的超常现象被认为是伪科学,有一部分是因为科学是需要能重现、重制的现象加以证实,包含拥有特异功能的人类(预知透视意念显影),以及在偶然的情况下发生,但无法以常理来说明的事件,例如:图坦卡门的诅咒、灵异照片等。

也有其他的类似现象被认定为确有其事,却无法立即解释,例如,许多人皆曾看过不明飞行物(UFO);但彼此对不明飞行物的解释却有很大差异。通古斯大爆炸王恭厂大爆炸是一种明显且无法否认的超常现象,但是关于爆炸的原因,却从彗星到超空间撕裂(cross-dimensional rips)等不同解释。

此外,也有人指出超常(Paranormal)这个词汇,在过去是被当成是宗教上诸多不可解的神秘现象,相对于自然科学(Natural science)所衍生的超自然(Supernatural)的代换词汇。

以下是一些超常现象的范例:

有些超常现象最后获得科学上的解释,不再是无法解释的现象。例如,“从天而降的石头”在以前被认为是超常现象的一种,但“陨石”的存在现在已经是广为人知的事实。

超自然现象其实算是超常现象的一种,但是其中一部分被当成超心理学parapsychology)来进行研究,并且被分成三种等级:
