Photons and Ghosts

[Deep Sea Isopod]

OK, here's something I've been thinking about. Let's say ghosts were real (Everyone..."Ghosts were real" : Policesquadsmiley:.)
If we can see a ghost, then there must be some mass for the light to deflect off in order for us to see it, no?


My point being, if ghosts were real, they must be made of something for us to see them. And this "something" should be detectable. So if they aren't made of anything, the light shouldn't be able to deflect, meaning they can't be real?

Or am I just being silly?

A ghost is just a memory of a past event embedded in the simulation via a glitch in the system architecture. The photons exist at the point in timespace they occured like a picture in a frame. A picture may show a large spooky victorian figure or even a ship, a ghost ship, but does a picture have the mass of the thing it is showing?

Quite right. It's ECTOPLASM, which doesn't exist unless you believe in ghosts.

I've been slimed!
