Can things dematerialize?

Question

Not right in front of you while you're watching, but when you set something down on a counter and just turn around for 5 to 10 minutes. Let's face it, if things dematerialized right in front of you then you would KNOW, you could et up a camera and finally have proof and they wouldn't be able to drive you crazy. I'm asking people that believe in the supernatural primarily. If you are a psychiatrist I don't want to hear it unless you believe in the supernatural.

Answer 1

No, they can't. And yes, this happens all the time to people.

Yes, I believe in supernatural stuff, but im not going to use the supernatural to explain everything that I cant immediatly answer.

You can set up cameras all you want. In fact, with all the offices, hospitals, and banks (the places where this kind of stuff probably happens the most) which have security cams everywhere. Why have they never caught it on tape?

Answer 2

Is that like an alternate version of a watched pot not boiling?  :)

You specifically requested a non-scientific answer (in the Science & Mathematics category, LOL!), so the only thing I can say here is that if you're postulating the supernatural, there's no reason why you can't postulate dematerialization right along with it, or anything else that strikes your imagination. There is no limit to conjecture if you free it from the chains of prior knowledge.

Answer 3

I guess that would depend on the object and the conditions surrounding that object, but then of course that would not mean it was paranormal in nature. For a simple example; Ice set down and it being hot enough to rapidly melt it and evaporate the remaining water would dematerialize within a certain amount of time. A solid object such as a soda can under the right conditions could as well.

Don't get me wrong I am not saying that a paranormal reason couldn't be present and make something dematerialize as well, but rather showing that it doesn't have to be.

Although there will always be those who do not believe regardless of the proof you give. If someone refuses to believe no prove will ever be good enough.

Case in point I have a very good friend who is the worlds biggest skeptic and he seen with his own eyes paranormal activity and he could not explain it and said he imagined the entire thing. There is always reasonable doubt and for those who do not want to believe are just not going to believe.

All the ranting in the world demanding proof should not matter to anyone. no one is forcing them to believe

Yes, it could change into a different form of energy.

Answer 5

I don't think they dematerialize. I think they are borrowed.

I had a rosary with a relic of Padre Pio attached to it. That rosary wandered off a lot. I used to say Padre Pio's gone walk about - just because I'd check my pocket and it would be gone. Days later, right back where I'd left it.

More recently my Franciscan crown rosary disappeared for three weeks only to turn right back up in its case.

Answer 6

I believe in the supernatural, but not in something that can dematerialize, although it seemed to be like that one time for me. I borrowed a book from my step-mother and lost it. I looked in a closet in my home constantly, because that's where i thought it would be, but it wasn't there, even when I pulled everything out of it to look. About six months later, I walked up the stairs, and there it was, on the floor in the closet. My mother is the only one living with me, and she claims she did nothing - she was really mad that I lost it in the first place. I don't know what happened, I think she may of put it there without realizing it. She does this a lot, but I don't think there is such a thing as an object that can dematerialize ... someone would have caught it on tape by now, it a society like today's.

Answer 7

Sure. If sufficient chunk of anti-matter hit it. But the problem is we are in an atmosphere of regular matter and the anti-matter would get annihilated going through that.
