Popular Post Eldorado Posted September 24, 2022 Popular Post #1 Share Posted September 24, 2022 The Loch Ness Monster maybe be living in a Stranger Things-style parallel universe, a paranormal investigator has claimed. The new theory from the Scot, Ron Halliday, is one of the most abstract yet. He said: "Scientists have suggested there could be other universes. And somehow our world interacts with these other worlds through portals. "With the Loch Ness Monster, people could be seeing a dinosaur that existed in the past. They may see something that looks solid but isn't actually in our world. That can spread across a whole range of things, such as UFO sightings." https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/loch-ness-monster-may-live-in-parallel-universe-like-netflix-s-stranger-things/ar-AA12ca35? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/loch-ness-monster-may-live-27511706 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papageorge1 Posted September 24, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I'm very open to this idea. When dealing with modern mysteries, new thinking is allowed. I've seen/heard of plenty enough to think our straightforward understanding of reality is not all there is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep73 Posted September 25, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Parallel universes are BS. They were only thought up to solve particle duality, but fails to solve all the other quantum oddities. It's not even half a solution, it's a total blunder. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are things we do not know...like the relationship between that which we call 'outer space' and the rest of the universe. There may be parallel universes...overlapping with ours like an Algebraic Venn Diagram. Notwithstanding, the belief in all that is just that...belief.

I believe this is the closest you can get: https://www.nature.com/articles/134765a0 AT a general meeting of the Linnean Society of London, held on November 8, the Loch Ness ‘monster’ was for the first time discussed by a scientific society. Sir Edward Mountain gave an account of his en deavours to settle the creature's identity by employing twenty watchers distributed around the Loch under the supervision of Capt. Fraser. These watchers were suppJied with cameras on loan from the Kodak Co. Ltd., and also with field glasses. During the first two weeks of last July, the creature was seen by the watchers twenty-one times. In September a film was taken by Capt. Fraser with a telephoto lens at a distance of about a mile from the creature; it was stated that the portion of the creature visible in the film had been estimated by the Kodak Co. to be about eight feet in length. The film was run through the projector several times and a discussion followed. The first impression of most members of the audience was probably that the movements of the creature shown on the film suggested those of a seal, but some of the speakers pointed out difficulties in the way. Commander R. T. Gould did not believe that the creature was a seal; he felt sure that the watchers would have readily recognised it as such. Further, he considered that it could not be a killer whale. Sir Sidney Harmer thought that until further evidence had been produced the verdict should be ‘not proven’. He thought that the creature was not a cetacean, but would probably prove to be a seal. Mr. M. A. C. Hinton and Mr. F. C. Fraser felt certain that the creature was a seal, with which opinion Dr. Stanley Kemp disagreed; nor did he believe it to be a cetacean. Sir Arthur Smith Woodward, referring to the popular belief, said that it was hopeless to com pare the creature with a Mesozoic reptile as no traces of these reptiles had been found in Tertiary rocks in any part of the world. Capt. J. G. Dollman was firmly convinced that the creature was an otter. The president (Dr. W. T. Caiman) and Mr. A. J. Wilmott expressed doubts as to the size of the creature as estimated by the Kodak Company. Enlargements of some of the ‘still’ photographs taken by the watchers were also exhibited at the meeting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theories in science explain evidence, and make successful predictions or they are discarded. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trelane Posted November 8, 2023 #23 Share Posted November 8, 2023 "Loch Ness Monster may live in a 'parallel universe'" Absolutely not. What nonsense. Not surprised though. They have to keep the myth alive somehow since the kake scans keep on coming up empty with anything remotely resembling an unidentified creature. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resume Posted November 11, 2023 #24 Share Posted November 11, 2023 "Loch Ness Monster may live in a 'parallel universe'" Attempting to explain one undemonstrated phenomenon with another undemonstrated hypothesis is typical credulous illogic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
