Supernatural phenomena have always been a mystery to scientists. And when there is no scientific explanation for these mystical phenomena, belief in them is said to be superstition. But in the history of science, there are many scientists who believe in these phenomena and follow their studies.
Philosopher and psychologist William James was one of the first psychological researchers to have worked with a wide range of supernatural and hypnotic phenomena.
To this day, his works are still highly regarded and studied, and he continues to be skeptical of the relationship between psychic powers and paranormal phenomena.
As in the case of Thomas Edison and Freeman Dyson, James is not really considered a scientist who believes in supernatural phenomena, however the three of them have all devoted considerable energy and resources to research. research in this area. Other scientists have continued their work and have reached various and controversial conclusions.
Renowned psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Jung is known primarily for his work on human consciousness, and has also spent 20 years studying synchronicity , which is “meaningful randomness.” “ , in a non-linear cause-and-effect manner, alludes to very interesting coincidences in life. This doctrine is not considered to belong to the supernatural realm, many see it as the foundation of the modern theory that acknowledges consciousness as a creative force in the universe.
Mr. Jung had a striking and strange experience with a patient: While this patient casually mentioned her dream of a yellow scarab, at that moment, a beetle, or called the yellow scarab banging on the door of Mr. Jung’s office. When he opened the door, the bug flew into his office. He caught the bug in his hand and gave it to the patient.
Although these are just random coincidences, life sometimes also has events with very rare coincidences. Still, Carl Jung’s story remains a classic example.
Wolfgang Pauli is a theoretical physicist and a pioneer in the field of quantum mechanics. He also believes in Mr. Jung’s theory of synchronicity.
The anecdote about him, according to Pauli’s colleagues, is that every time Pauli shows up in the laboratory, it is as if something will go wrong: power failure, vacuum tube leak, instrument failure. .. and from there they spread the so-called “Pauli effect”.

This theory holds that humans can disrupt electrons through some kind of “macrobiological telemetry” phenomenon. The effect was named after Pauli because of his unusual number of occurrences where laboratory equipment failed. It is also said that his friend, experimental physicist Otto Stern even banned Pauli from his laboratory for fear that Paul’s appearance would destroy all of his equipment.
Pauli himself explained his belief in supernatural phenomena when he openly believed in “the existence of relatively stable spiritual entities with individual selves. All the phenomena that we can observe are their effects on the lives of others, where the level of spirit and personality are related to those entities.”
Basically, Pauli believed in Bioremotes before science had a proper name for it.
*Psychokinesis/telekinesis is the ability to use the mind to influence the physical world without resorting to known physical interactions. A good example of biological teleportation is using thought to warp a spoon or manipulate a random number generator.
Margaret Mead is an American cultural anthropologist who has spent most of her career writing about sexual practices in society. One of her famous quotes reads: “Never doubt that a group of profound, dedicated people can change the world. It’s actually the only thing that ever happened.”
Mrs. Mead is an Anglican Christian who strongly believes in psychic powers through her mention of people possessing powers such as hypnosis .
Brian Josephson is a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who has been studying the connections between the brain and the paranormal for over 40 years. His controversial research delves into an area known as parapsychology.
He claims that quantum entanglement has opened up the possibility of consciousness influencing the physical universe through telepathy, biological telepathy, and transcendental meditation.
Most of his colleagues rejected his theory, especially the idea of water memory and cold fusion.
Dr. Fred Alan Wolf is a man whose work was influenced by the theories of early experimental scientists such as David Bohm and Pribram Karl. He also believed in the existence of mystical connections between matter and consciousness . He has written several books and given TED (technology, entertainment and design) conference talks and other presentations.
His controversial statements are: “There is sufficient evidence to show that in the nature of the formation of the physical universe there was an element called spirituality”.
“Souls are immaterial so they are not limited by movement in the physical world. They can travel faster than the speed of light… So at the time of death, or during a near-death experience. demonstrated the transition from the physical world, which operates at speeds slower than the speed of light, to a world that moves faster than the speed of light.
Known as one of the scientists mentioned in the movie What bleep do we know?, Professor Goswami is a theoretical quantum physicist. He was someone who believed that consciousness is the basis for all existence and that the universe is self-aware. Goswami considers himself a “quantum activist” , having written eight books on the subject.
His most famous work deals with the problem of quantum measurement in well-known observations of quantum physics.
He wrote: “Consciousness is the basis of all life. In this view, consciousness imposes ‘causal relations’. In other words, our sense of freedom is real. When we act in reality, we are actually acting with the force of cause and effect. This view does not deny that this matter also has causal potential – it does not deny that it is caused by elementary particle energies upwards. It occurs during human creation and behavior, or when people make moral decisions. At these times, humans are actually conscious of causality or when we are making moral decisions.”
Dr. Stuart Hameroff believes in the Orch-OR theory (the model of consciousness) which asserts that the human soul is contained within structures called microtubules of brain cells. According to this theory, when we die, these “soul quanta” will be distributed back to the universe.
Hameroff believes his theory can help explain the unusual near-death experiences, where people seem to have left their bodies, after the heart has stopped beating, and then they return to normal. Lots of pictures from other worlds. One of the most recent and remarkable near-death experiences happened to an atheist Dr. Eben Alexander.
Dr. Eben Alexander is probably the most controversial person on this list.
Alexander claims to have visited heaven during a near-death experience. His experience is recorded in the book he wrote: Proof of Heaven: A Surgeon’s Journey After Death. It concludes that life does not end after death, but there is a psychological resurrection in different states.
In addition, in history, there are many famous scientists who believe in the spiritual world such as: Alfred Wallace, Ron Pearson, Charles Richet, George Meek, and many others.
