" If you see the numbers or letters in the circles, pat yourself on the back.  You’re an example of an advanced human ." ( llamas blog ). Tetrachromats are perfect examples of the emergence of meta-observable senses.  Previous Post: The non-observable Universe III' Read the full article here (via SKL repository). 4. Private phenomena So far, we have ventured to describe events that are publicly available. By this we mean events that are independent of anything except the investigator ordinary senses. For example, take  a f =9 occurrence. If its apprehension depends on a device capable of impressing some human sense, the observation result by no means will depend on the observer: no matter who observes, the result will be the same . Thus, the use of equipments does not change the ‘public’ character but gives rise to the definition of publicly available phenomena: Definition 6 Publicly available phenomena : the apprehension does not depend on any in...

Ball lighting . The rarity and lack of a natural paradigm for explaining ball lightnings made them a recurrent anomaly  (cortesy: commons.wikimedia.org).

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...
