Why is “paranormal phenomena” in the category “science”?
I think the reason is that a large, growing number of scientists consider paranormal phenomena as being inside the scope of scientific research: “Approaching paranormal phenomena from a research perspective is often difficult because even when the phenomena are seen as real they may be difficult to explain using existing rules or theory. By definition, paranormal phenomena exist outside of conventional norms. Skeptics contend that they don’t exist at all. Despite this challenge, studies on the paranormal are periodically conducted by researchers from various disciplines. Some researchers study just the beliefs in paranormal phenomena regardless of whether the phenomena actually exist. This section deals with various approaches to the paranormal including those scientific, pseudoscientific, and unscientific.
