1, traditional view:

Traditional science believes that ghosts are only human imagination and belong to idealism. Atheists, in particular, generally believe that ghosts do not really exist in reality, but only exist in people's hearts. Science takes the material world as the research object, so traditional science disdains the theory of ghosts and gods and regards it as superstition. For some theistic scientists with religious beliefs, although they believe that there is a soul after death, most of them also believe that the soul is supernatural and metamaterial, which cannot be studied by science.

2, the latest point of view:

With the continuous breakthrough of modern physics, scientists' views on ghosts have also changed. For example, Amit Goswami, an American physicist, explained spiritual bodies including ghosts with quantum mechanics in his book Physics of the Soul.

The most systematic scientific explanation for ghosts, souls and other spiritual bodies is materialistic theism, which Miao Xingzhuang, a researcher at Guangzhou Academy of Social Sciences, demonstrated in detail in his book Exploring Mysteries: Revealing Life in the Spiritual World. The author thinks that there is an unknown substance and energy in human body, which can't be seen by human naked eyes and can't be measured by existing scientific instruments. The author calls it "spiritual essence". When the human body dies, this substance leaves the body instantly, but this mass of substance continues the original main structure of the human body.

According to the principle of "structure-function", as long as the structure exists, the function exists. Therefore, after leaving the body, the "spirit body" that maintains the original main structure of the body will certainly maintain some original functions, such as memory, thinking and so on. In this way, this "spirit body" is still alive, and this is the spirit body including "ghost".

People still don't know what the substance that makes up the spirit body is. Miao Xingzhuang concluded that this substance is probably "dark matter" or "dark energy" explored by physicists, because its characteristics are highly consistent with the inherent characteristics of "spiritual body", such as invisibility, strong penetration and very light. The author thinks that the "qi" of traditional Chinese medicine is probably this substance. Explaining ghosts in this way, then admitting that there are "ghosts" does not necessarily mean idealism and superstition.

3. Relevant evidence

Some western countries have accumulated rich materials in the study of spiritual body, and some evidences are very convincing, which gives strong support to the existence of spiritual body. These studies include the study of near-death experience, soul out-of-body study, soul reincarnation study, hypnosis study and so on. Especially for the study of near-death experience, some experimental analysis has been very rigorous and standardized, and some papers have been published in the world's authoritative medical journal The Lancet, such as the papers of Dutch cardiologist Rommel.
