Conference Theme: Exploring the Unexplained

With the ever-expanding scientific knowledge and ever-exploding technological advances, we may be wondering where the boundary of scientific discovery resides, what governs the conditioning of the boundary of discovery, and which edge of the establishment the boundary of the discovery must stay on and not walk off. “In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.” (Freedman Dyson). “The value of science, of all its many values, the greatest must be the freedom to doubt.” (Richard Feynman). Science advances by questioning the present.

Since 1982, the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) has provided a professional forum for presentations, criticism, and debate concerning topics that for various reasons, are ignored or studied inadequately within mainstream science. The SSE also promotes improved understanding of those factors that unnecessarily limit the scope of scientific inquiry, such as sociological constraints, restrictive world views, hidden theoretical assumptions, and the temptation to convert prevailing theory into prevailing dogma. The Annual Conference of SSE serves as a premier forum to spark rigorous new understandings from the examination of ever-updating empirical evidence.

The 43rd annual SSE conference will have the following program tracks:

• Unexplained aerial, oceanic, and terrestrial phenomena
• Unexplained consciousness, intelligence, and nous phenomena
• Unexplained dynamics, energy, and kinetics phenomena
• Unexplained health, medical, and veterinary medical phenomena
• Unexplained phenomena of sociological dynamics  

The conference will consist of long talks (30-35-min talk +10~15-min Q/A), short talks (15~20-min talk + 5-min Q/A) and poster presentations (5-min talk) in PowerPoint formats.
