Paraphysics (Philosophy)

The philosophical examination of the boundaries and limits of physics—what lies beyond, what might be possible, and how we should think about phenomena that physics cannot (yet) address. Paraphysics as philosophy asks: What are the legitimate boundaries of physical inquiry? How should we approach claims that seem to exceed physical explanation? What would it mean for something to be "beyond physics"? It's the philosophy of the frontier—thinking about thinking about the unknown.

Paraphysics (Philosophy) "Physics can't study consciousness—wrong methods. Paraphysics as philosophy asks: what methods might work? Not abandoning science, but extending it. The philosophical question isn't whether something is beyond physics; it's how we should approach what's beyond. Paraphysics is the philosophy of the not-yet-known."

Paraphysics of the Laws of Physics

A speculative or fringe field that investigates phenomena or principles that appear to exist alongside, beyond, or in parallel to conventional physical laws—exploring the boundaries where physics meets the unexplained, the anomalous, or the supposedly impossible. Paraphysics takes seriously the possibility that our current laws might be incomplete, that phenomena dismissed as "paranormal" might indicate undiscovered dimensions of physical reality, or that consciousness might interact with matter in ways physics doesn't yet recognize. Unlike pseudoscience (which ignores evidence), paraphysics engages with anomalies while maintaining critical inquiry—asking whether UFOs, psychic phenomena, or alternative healing might point to physics beyond current understanding. Whether such inquiry leads to new physics or dead ends, paraphysics serves as a reminder that today's orthodoxy was yesterday's heresy, and that the boundaries of the physical are not necessarily the boundaries of the real.

Paraphysics of the Laws of Physics Example: "He studied telepathy not as magic but as a possible indicator of undiscovered physical interactions—paraphysics, the investigation of phenomena that seem to violate known laws but might reveal new ones. Most of it leads nowhere, but somewhere, something might."

Parachute Packing

Mostly used for small plane owners. When you have free time away from your significant other, a phrase you use to throw them off the scent while you secretly indulge in secret sexual fetishes.

Honey, I promise, I’m only parachute packing today.
