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.

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?

A. "Universe" = one turn The Universe is "all there is" If there is a "second Universe," then it's part of the same Universe. Any notion of "a parallel universe" is mere speculation without supporting perceptions.

How does true septicism in science reclaim itself from the reductionist true believers?
Q. Incredible level of vitriol and ego inflation in the various organizations is appalling. How can we return to academic dialogue and an analytical rational mindedness when they have lowered the level of discourse to the epithets and snarling contempt inherent in the Skeptical Inquirer. We should be as skeptical of "So called proven theory as new and radical ones.Most theory fail at somepont when a better paradigm mathematically comes along. To accept the big bang unequivocally, with its 100 year old search for dark matter and more patch's than windows XP,and yet totally ignore the many proven instances of anomalous phenomena is not being skeptical.

Q. i looked it up on the net & dis is wat it said 4. is it normal to sometimes feel paralyzed in your bed? This phenomenon, called "Sleep Paralysis" or an "Old Hag" experience, can be quite frightening. It usually occurs on the borderline between sleep and waking. Sufferers describe feeling totally mentally awake, yet feeling unable to move or call out, and often, feeling a heavy weight pressing down on their chests. Sometimes, these sensations are coupled with the vague perception of an "evil presence" in the room. Scientists theorize that such experiences are probably caused by the brain and body being slightly "out of sync" with regard to sleep/wake functions. Normally, during REM sleep, the body is paralyzed (which is a darn good thing,… [cont.]
