Ghosts are made of neutrinos?

I was watching a TV program called Paranormal something or the other and a so called expert said that since ghosts can walk through wall they could not be made of atoms. He said they would have to be made of neutrinos.

Yeah, um, I think first you need to have actual evidence of a ghost, before you go explaining just what they're made of. Otherwise you're really just making **** up.

Isn't that called assuming facts not in evidence?
 
And, I suppose it would be too much to expect this "expert" to outline other examples of neutrinos organizing into something else and how this happens?

I bet his answer would be "its quantum".
 
In fact, ghosts can't walk through walls. It's always the first thing they try after death; they bump their noses and start grumbling to themselves.

That would explian why people never see one, since neutrinos don't not interact with the EM force.
 
I always struggled with the physical properties of ghosts:

you can see and hear them (Woooooooo), so they must take part in the electromagnetic interaction to some extent

a)they can pass through walls, but they can walk around on the surface of the earth, so:
b) they're probably held there by gravity otherwise they'd float off, but
c) they must experience a reaction force from the ground otherwise they'd sink into it, sort of conflicts with (a)

So strange that some people will be suggesting that they're imaginary.
 
Neutrinos are affected by gravity and almost never interact directly with matter. That means all of the ghosts created on Earth's surface have either fallen to the center of the Earth or have fallen with enough speed to pass through the core, out other the other side and fly off into space.

Ghosts are as made of neutrinos as Orcs are made of cream cheese.

I agree with the previous poster, i love how without proving ghosts exist, they are already trying to figure out what they are made of.
 
Actually, ghosts are made entirely of WIMPs, but are a homeopathic preparation of neutrinos that were once dissolved in the WIMPs. All that remains to be proved is the existence of WIMP memory.
 
I used to be a ghost, until I wandered into honeymoon suite...

The next thing I remember was a white guy slapping me until I was screaming.

But that was a long time ago. And it may not have actually happened. ;)

On a more serious note, what is the energy/force that makes our brain work. The neurons in your brain 'fire' or move. This movement, indicates 'alive'...when it stops, we rekon 'dead'...

The whatever is moving...what 'it' made out of? I mean, is it electricity?

Does it have a heat signature?

There are famous ghosts, up northwards in England, in the cellar of a pub (hmm...), of the Roman 4th Legion (I heard it as the 4th, is there an expert to hand?), which reportedly materialise from the knees up, as the original roman road is below the level of the cellar floor.
