Epäilmiöiden

Epäilmiöiden is a Finnish term that translates roughly to "non-phenomena" or "unphenomena." It is used in philosophy and sometimes in discussions related to parapsychology or fringe science to denote entities, concepts, or events that are claimed to exist or occur but for which there is no empirical evidence or scientific consensus. The term is often employed critically to highlight the speculative or unverified nature of certain assertions.

The use of "epäilmiöiden" implies a lack of observable, measurable, or repeatable phenomena that would support their existence within the framework of established scientific understanding. It can refer to concepts such as paranormal abilities that have not been scientifically validated, hypothetical entities that lack any observational basis, or proposed causal mechanisms that are not supported by physics or other relevant sciences. The term serves as a way to categorize claims that fall outside the realm of established knowledge or scientific inquiry due to their unproven or unsubstantiated nature. It distinguishes these from phenomena that are well-documented and understood.
