200 years ago if you had suggested that space and time were interconnected you would have been burned at the steak. Now we are just barely begining to understand the realtionship; and are likely another 200 years from fully understanding it.

True, but as we understand it better we have theories that make predictions and test those predictions, observable reproducible evidence, and that sort of thing which demonstrates that the link between space and time is an accurate part of a description of reality.
No such thing yet exists for any paranormal things, and meanwhile the evidence that there isn't such a thing continues to grow.
If evidence ever comes forward, then that's great since our understanding of reality grows better, and science will change to encompass the evidence.

Is it not possible that our thoughts, brainwaves, or souls (whatever you wish to call it) are not somehow part of a much larger piece of the universe; one that we are just now begining to understand?
I'm not asking you to become a believer. All I'm asking is for you to open your mind to the thought that we may not know all that there is to know yet. If you can appreciate that, then that leaves other possibilities open. And to me; exploration of this part of the universe is fascinating. And it's part of the universe that we can indeed explore; unlike for example outer space where there are physical limits in place.

Of course it's possible, but you can't believe everything that's only possible without evidence, otherwise you might as well believe everything and anything (where to stop believing?).
Science is by definition open minded, and perfectly sees that our understanding of reality is incomplete (and will probably always be). Anyone can bring the evidence.
