In this article, the University of South Carolina explores the concept of ghosts from a scientific
viewpoint, featuring insights for scientists like physicists. The article discusses the physical
aspects of a ghost phenomena, including the characteristics of ghosts of how they pass through
walls and multiple laws of physics, which challenge the existence of a figure or entity after one
dies. The article also highlights between popular beliefs and scientific reasoning, providing a
scientific viewpoint of a traditional way to view some beliefs of ghosts and paranormal activity.
This article is a credible source since it is backed up by the support of a university backed
analysis.

This article, written by Nobel laureate Roald Hoffman, dives into the prediction and a theoretical
study of an unusual and unique molecular structure called “Ghost molecule” by the article. The
text explores the methods used to hypothesize the molecules properties, it emphasizes the
unusual high reactivity, electron density, and molecular bonding. The article shows a perspective
of the hypothesis from an advanced chemical theory.

This article by Alex Berezow examines the concept of ghosts through the perspective of
physics, particularly the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Berezow argues that the laws of
physics, including the laws of energy conservation and that there is no medium of substance
that can carry a consciousness beyond death, making the existence of ghosts scientifically not
possible. The text effectively debunks myths of paranormal activity with given scientific and
logical reasoning. The source effectively establishes principles of physics to further prove its
credibility.
