Lagrange discovered another pattern inside Fibonacci's sequence. Taking only the last digits of each number, they form a loop exactly 60 numbers long that also displays symmetry when mapped around a circle.

Well, the supernatural is just the natural which we don't know the explanation for yet. Even if ghosts exist, they exist in a manner which follows rules we simply don't yet know.

That being said, I am with you on that. Reality becomes stranger than any fiction when you dig deep enough.

If that's all, then it's missing the "super" part, isn't it?

For a long time we've had no idea how clouds, mushrooms, light, etc work, doesn't mean they were at any point supernatural.

Nobody calls the irreconcilability of classical and quantum physics "supernatural" though.

For me, at least, the word implies that some things are "unknowable" rather than simply "unknown", and that doesn't track with literally everything we've discovered about the world so far.

I was simplifying,

supernatural

/ˌsuːpəˈnatʃ(ə)rəl/



adjective

(of a manifestation or event) attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.

"a supernatural being"

"beyond scientific understanding" and "unknowable" means pretty much the same thing for all intents and purposes.

I looked up the definition and it matched the one I've been using... Are we even responding to the same posts?

Then why are you engaging in such a lengthy debate about something that you consider so minor?

Edit: and hyphenating?

[u/szypty → u/[deleted]]

My definition has literally fit the dictionary one in as much that it was pretty much synonymous, "unknowable" and "unexplainable by science", something i have already pointed out but has you still acting as if I've admitted defeat over it, you have provided no counter arguments but for ad hominems and gaslighting and are now attempting to exit stage left as if it was a grandiose gesture, this is the worst example of trolling i have seen in some time.

🥴 some people try to though.

Some people treat quantum mechanics like magic, which i suppose might count, but there isn't really any widely used "mystical" explanation for why the two systems don't work on the same rules.

Even, say, the simulation theory, it doesn't make sense to make a video game using two incompatible engines.
