I fully agree that the statement "there are ghosts" is not falsifiable, but much of the phenomena in our world is not falsifiable. Science cant 'find evidence' for everything we know to be true.
Much of what happens in ours heads is outside of science's abode, but even though science cannot speak on some topics in a 'falsifiable' manner, we still assume science is the only tool for ascertaining truth. Which may be true, as it is the only tool to OBJECTIVELY finding truth, but the objective world may also just be an illusion, and if it is, then what use is science?
There is no science that can prove we don't all live in one big shared dream, and anything can happen in dreams, and if it IS all a dream, science cant disprove it. Now some people are SO embedded in the scientific method that they would assert that such statements as 'science cant disprove we are all but dreaming' is a MEANINGLESS phrase, but if fact, it could be true, but by the light of science, you could be denying the very truth of our reality.
Science is a great tool, but don't limit the world to one that only science may explain, cause you' may be leaving out a large portion of reality. If it was me, I'd keep an open mind and attempt to gather all evidence, but just cause science cant prove it, that does not give me the right to discard it, as then it would be entirely possible that I'd be missing the point altogether, and that would be bad.:-P
I haven't seen anybody mention body weight exercises. If you can doing push-ups for five minutes flat, you increasing your muscle strength, and raising your heart rate. If you cant manage that many push-ups, there are a myriad of other versions of body weight exercises, and eventually you doing crazy one-armed versions of everything and the babes just wont leave you alone ! Also, they are free, and you need hardly any space to perform them, only will power.
