What happens when a scientist known for his precision and skepticism has a paranormal experience he can’t explain?
In EP 21: The Physicist Who Saw a Ghost, host Justin Gearheart speaks with Dr. Melvin Vopson, a theoretical physicist whose groundbreaking research on the Mass–Energy–Information Equivalence Principle suggests that information has mass — and could be the missing link between energy, matter, and consciousness itself. But before diving into his work, Dr. Vopson shares a story that left even him questioning the limits of science: a firsthand ghost encounter that defies logical explanation.
What begins as a conversation about data, energy, and the nature of reality quickly turns into a profound exploration of the intersection between physics and the paranormal. Dr. Vopson opens up about how this haunting experience reshaped his understanding of consciousness, the afterlife, and the possibility that the universe itself is an intelligent information system.
In this episode, you’ll hear how a rational scientist came face-to-face with the unexplained, why his research could bridge the gap between ghosts, physics, and digital reality, and how information might be the true essence of existence.
This is one of the most mind-bending and human conversations ever recorded on Close Encounter Club — where science meets the supernatural.
