An anomaly is any occurrence or object that is strange, unusual, or unique. It can also mean a discrepancy or deviation from an established rule or trend.

Anomalistics is the study of scientific anomalies. In computer science, anomaly detection refers to the process of detecting anomalies from the relevant data.

In the following particular contexts, "anomaly" may refer to:

Astronomy

  • Eccentric anomaly, intermediate value used to compute the position of a celestial object as a function of time
  • Flyby anomaly, unexpected energy increase during Earth flybys of satellites
  • Mean anomaly, measure of time in the study of orbital dynamics
  • Pioneer anomaly, observed deviation of the trajectories of various unmanned spacecraft
  • South Atlantic Anomaly, region where Earth's inner van Allen radiation belt makes its closest approach to the planet's surface
  • True anomaly, angle between the direction of periapsis and the current position of an object on its orbit.

Have you ever been or would you go to an authentic commercial haunted house?
Q. Top 5 Real-Life Haunted Houses Some people might be hesitant to admit that they believe in ghosts. But if you've ever heard a chilling bump in the night when you're home alone, ghosts might not be such a leap of faith. In fact, just over a third of American adults believe in ghosts. Perhaps more surprising is that 23 percent of adults polled said they'd personally seen or felt a ghost. Every October, thousands of people pay to walk through commercial haunted houses, in which costumed actors stand in for otherworldly spirits. Customers can get the adrenaline rush of scary "monsters" popping out at them for a few minutes without any risk of getting their souls stolen or becoming possessed. But real-life haunted houses are a different story. [cont.]

A. Well, technically, I LIVE in a haunted house. I'm a medium. So no, I wouldn't go to a real haunted house to stay, like one some of those shows. Why? Because every spirit in the house is going to come to me. I stand out like a sore thumb to them. So, no thanks. I have enough of them here already. lol Those things you described... I would've told you the same things had you asked, so I agree whole-heartedly with those.

Is it feasible that the U.S. is capable of producing earthquakes using the HAARP project?
Q. As an engineer, when I first heard the conspiracy theories surrounding the HAARP project I thought that they didn't have any scientific basis. If you don't know about it, the HAARP project involves manipulating the ionosphere. So I began a research in scientific journals about the relationship about the earthquakes and the ionosphere, and for my surprise I found that some earthquakes ARE related to the ionosphere. For example, a paper by Gokhberg, M. and Shalimov, S., published in the American Geophysical Union, says: "The ionospheric literature is sprinkled with descriptions of phenomena observed near the site of future earthquakes. Any real connection, reliably established, clearly would be of practical value as well as of scientific… [cont.]

A. I have been fascinated with Geology for some time. Though my knowledge is limited to an intro course in college and what I have researched by leisure. Since I moved to The Pacific North West I even more often check in to the USGS earthquake listings. The pattern of earthquakes is disturbing and unusual. It is very true about advances in technology being unavailable to civilians and I more than agree that some elite whether government or unrelated entities have this advantage over the masses. I would hate to think that they would purposely destroy the planet but wouldn't take such a possibility for granted by instinct. The Pacific Plate is at a severely unstable Level and I am concerned as to why this obvious issue is not mentioned even on… [cont.]

The universe appears to be infinite but anomalous. Then how can parallel universes exist?
Q. A parallel universe would appear to require the existence of supernatural phenomena that we cannot comprehend with our limited sensory perception. If that's the case, are we then trapped in a finite existence through sheer cosmic accident?
Asked by steve e - Sun Sep 30 00:04:36 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Quite right. We would not be able to detect or perceive parallel universes, nor would they be able to detect or perceive ours. If they exist, they will always be a theoretical reality, not an objective one. But superstring theory postulates the existence of other universes (a multiverse) outside our own universe. Its not so much a supernatural phenomenon the way we define that as it is "extra-natural" in that its beyond our ordinary experience but possible in advanced physics.

Paranormal is an umbrella term used to describe a wide variety of reported anomalous phenomena. According to the Journal of Parapsychology, the term "paranormal" describes "any phenomenon that in one or more respects exceeds the limits of what is deemed physically possible according to current scientific assumptions."[1]
