Do you believe in those?
I sure do, I mean, we have proof that unexplained things are true, heres why.
The big boom, before that there was something somewhere, also the limit to which the human mind can process.
Whats your stand on all this?
sure thing
>we have proof that unexplained things are true[citation needed]
We certainly don't have any scientifically acceptable proof that i'm aware of.
Myself, and other people I know, have had experiences which are plenty good enough evidence to prove it for ourselves, but there is no way to prove to others that we had these experiences.
I've recently developed an interest in the possibility of proving the existance of at least something, whether the astral, the afterlife, or the existance of psychic abilities in general. I personally beleive that if we could start proving these things in scienfically acceptable ways, it would allow science to make major leaps forward.

I think that instead of trying to prove whatever fancies you, it would be a good idea to start by learning about all the weird reality that science is already describing today.
Did you know that you can produce force by preventing particles from appearing from the void?
It's called the Casimir effect, and after being theorized in the forties, it was indeed measured in the nineties (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect)
Or that you have a non null probability of not being on Earth?
This is because all particles are a wave function describing its distribution in space with an asymptotic value aproaching zero but never reaching it.
And I won't even start on teleportation and entanglement effects (if you're interested, check this http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&articleID=ABBA5449-E7F2-99DF-3ACFAC15B16FEC60&colID=30 )
I don't know if you are aware, but in the nineties it was also discovered that our universe is expanding at an increasing rate, which means that at some point in the future the sky will grow dark, since light does not reach us anymore, galaxies will disperse and even stars and planets disintegrate.
Read a bit about quantum physics, and soon astral planes will seem a pretty sedate concept compared to the inhumanity of what's going on around us,...
Astral planes are certainly easier to comperhend than quantum physics, but that doesn't mean they exist as the new age books have written them.
And labs have been doing "teleportation" experiments for years. The news article is always the same: "In the TV series Star TreK, people beamed around. Well, today they've teleported a single particle of some kind. Does this mean we'll be beaming around? No, it's actually impossible. But scientists may one day figure out how to use this to send encrypted signals or something else you don't really care about as much as teleportation."
And any huckster that claims that quantum effects explain paranormal phenomena are just using the latest scientific buzzwords to make their fraud sound legitimate.
There are legitimate technologies that use quantum physics, but the biggest breakthrough we expect from there are quantum computers. If quantum computing pans out, then'll reduce all kinds of brute-force problems to single operations.
