No. Science covers everything in our world. Anything that cannot be investigated through science, cannot influence our universe in any way. It's as simple as that. Your "esoteric science", if it were to exist, it would simply be a subset of science.

If you want a better understanding of science, think of the Danish word for it; "videnskab", it literally means "creation of knowledge".

Ah yes, the 'creation of knowledge' and the incorrect idea that science does covers and explain the nature of eveything in the universe. I would like to elborate on that. Lets go back to professor Baranowski. As a physicist many in the scientific community would ridicule him for saying that the human aura exists. Why? Firsty because there isn't a mechanical or electronic instrument that can provide a quantitative set of experimental data to support the theory that the human aura exists. Secondly, ot cannot br proved mathematically. Science won't go into this area and cannot go into certain areas in general because it is too rigid and narrow-minded at present.

However, professor Baranowski, has scientifically trained himself to see the human aura. He has esoteric empirical proof that it exists. It would be very simple by experiment under controlled laboratory conditions to prove beyond reasonable dount that the human aura exists and thus further scientific understanding of this phenomenon. Now, some people in this discussion of this thread would say that such an experiment couldn't be carried out and wouldn't have any scientific validity. Let's see what thay say...
