Alternate realities have pretty much been accepted as somewhat legitimate so I wouldn't totally doubt after resonances of energy and thought are possible. Our thoughts are after all only electrical impulses. The likelihood they can be duplicated in another dimension is crazy but not altogether inconceivable. Stuff that we used to think was magic is now considered science so I won't play ghosts out just yet. I'm a fairly logical agnostic so this is weird considering but who is to say there isn't a way the presence of a "ghost" might be explained someday in a rational fashion we would have once perceived as cuckoo.
You don't even understand what an electromagnetic resonance is, do you? Admit it.
Electromagnetism has been well understood for a century now. The thorough exploration of its phenomena, applications, and curiosities has been under way for at least that long. As an example of how well understood it is, consider the fact that you're reading this on a machine that has been designed, top to bottom, to take advantage of the physics of electricity and magnetism and this text may have even been sent through the air encoded in an electromagnetic wave on its way to your computer.
So when you do all this hand-waving about things that might "leave an electromagnetic resonance" for the brain to "see", and you bring up random, unrelated, untested physics hypotheses like alternate realities out of left field, and you write hilariously about the likelihood of electrical impulses being "duplicated in another dimension", and you mix all of those words together in a jumbled mess that doesn't really say anything, keep in mind that there are engineers and physicists that actually understand what these things mean and in what context they are defined.
And they laugh at you.
