Ecto-3, I wasn't trying to get nasty.
And please, don't insult my intelligence. “Small mind” was quite offensive to me. As well as insulting my imagination when you know nothing about me. I have quite an imagination, and love the ghostbusters, but I also have a logical mind and try to keep it in check.
You're treating me like I'm closed-minded and stupid. I don't deserve it.
I'll say robotics were a pretty good example. But I would assume robotics originated in the field of science. You may be right about how certain movies got some people thinking…I'm sure they have.
It's just that the technology like Proton Packs, used for “busting” ghosts, would not only involve getting a nuclear accelerator, but it would also involve much research in the field of the paranormal, and trying to make the connection between using a nuclear accelerator, and using it to catch ghosts. Unlike in the movies, there is not ample proof that suggests that ghosts are easily seen, and as those in the field of paranormal investigation would know, they are not easily hunted and chased.
If someone wants to have a nuclear accelerator and shoot it around for whatever reason, that's fine. And it's probably not far off.
As for what's impossible? Once again, I didn't say that. I happen to believe it is mathematically improbable. That would make sense for anything, I suppose.
When I said it's not real, it's just a movie, I was referring to paranormal eliminators. There are investigators, but not eliminators. Not to my knowledge. And not to say there may never be.
Did I pass math? I happen to be a very good math student. But you wouldn't believe an unimaginative, stupid math student about that, would you?
I try to respect people on this board, but you know, it's hard when someone disrespects you and it's totally uncalled for.
All I've been trying to say is that this whole board, this whole site, this whole community was started because of this movie. Period. It's a movie. Pursue the nuclear accelerators all you want.
ecto-3, I hope we can be friends at some point. I really do. I hope to be friends with everyone on this site. It's a wonderful and strong community. If we can get past that little disrespect you just gave me, which was totally uncalled for, I'd like to be your friend. We could probably have some great ghostbusters discussions. And I'm serious about that.
And I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I was stating my perspective.
I'm done now.
