Hi
I have some questions concerning the sentence below.
Paranormal activity is not supported by conventional scientists or by specialized equipment manufacturers, nor can it be recreated in a controlled setting.
1. "Paranormal activity is not supported by conventional scientists" - I understand it means that scientists do not believe in paranormal activities and do not help those who deal with them.
2. "or by specialized equipment manufacturers" - I'm not sure, does it say that these manufacturers do not manufacture the equipment which would help to track down ghosts or that these manufacturers claim that the specialized equipment used to these aims do not really serve the purpose of tracking down the paranormal activities and it's not good to use it for these aims?
3. "nor can it be recreated in a controlled setting" - I understand it means that supernatural activities cannot be recreated under controlled conditions (in a lab for example)?
