III - The Non-observable Universe and a General Classification of Nature's Phenomena
Ball lighting . The rarity and lack of a natural paradigm for explaining ball lightnings made them a recurrent anomaly (cortesy: commons.wikimedia.org). Previous Post: "The Non-Observable Universe II" Read the full article here (via SKL repository). 3. Scientific method and anomalies Fig. 3 is an entity-relationship model of 12 phenomenological classes, that is the set of classes F(f), for f={1,…,12}. In this way, a f=1 class contains reproducible, periodic and observable occurrences, the easiest ones for scientific investigation on the base of evidences gathered by the human common senses. Difficulty seems to increases as j increases. A f = 2 phenomenon is irreproducible, periodic and observable. Events of this type range from a simple sunrise to the change of seasons. Sound beatings in a loudspeaker of a radiotelescope pointing to a rotating star – a pulsar – (D’Amico, 1999) correspond to f=11. In fact, its confirmation is only possible if a sensible (and exp...
