We have a winnerI like wiki because the users' slant the information to thier individual ends, rather than a publishing house whoring its books to benefit its megacorporate parent.EctoplasmFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.In cell biology, ectoplasm ("outer plasma") refers to the outer regions of the cytoplasm of a cell. Ectoplasm typically contains a smaller amount of protein granules and other organic compounds than inner cytoplasm, also referred to as endoplasm. In parapsychology, ectoplasm is the name given to a hypothetical form of dense bio-energy liberated by living things which is claimed to make possible the materialisation of ghosts and psychokinesis. The term ectoplasm was used in a similar sense in the 1984 film Ghostbusters. In the early twentieth century, photographs claiming to show ectoplasm were occasionally published; these were largely shown to be fraudulent. Often the medium would have concealed cheesecloth or a similar substance about their person to produce at an appropriate moment. Numerous studies in the 1950s and 60s have claimed to confirm the existence of ectoplasm. Ectoplasm is believed by spiritualists to projects itself from people during meditation. Helen Duncan, a British psychic, is believed to truly have materialised spirits of deceased persons through ectoplasm. She was convicted in Europe's last witchcraft trial (1944). Ectoplasm is also a term used to describe the vapour appearing on the wings of an aircraft when it is performing high-energy manoeuvres. Typically this effect is seen by most people at airshow during modern jet fighter aerobatic displays. See also St. Elmo's Fire. This effect also has other names in other parts of the world. The study of this effect was the focus of the famous Philadelphia experiment. See alsoAura Kirlian photography </blockquote>
