| Apr 17, 2016 at 2:28 | comment | added | Johnny | @user1717828: "the iterative process of observation and analysis is not possible for fictional settings" Why not? His fictional world can have anything he wants, including a team of scientists that observe, analyze, and explain why vampires can't enter a house uninvited. Literally anything in that fictional world can stand up to scientific scrutiny within that world. Of course, our real-world science may not agree, but there's no reason why fictional scientists can't explain a fictional phenomenon. | |
| Apr 16, 2016 at 7:36 | comment | added | Wildcard | @Cyrus, good question! Well—when a person has given up and succumbed to being bitten (or falling off a cliff, or whatever), then they are actually helping to create that situation rather than resisting it—so their intentions no longer take effect against their defeat, but rather take effect in the direction of death/being bitten/etc. In other words, you can only bite someone if you also (simultaneously) overwhelm them to the point where they have given up on the intention of not being bitten. ;) | |
| Apr 16, 2016 at 7:04 | comment | added | Cyrus | @Wildcard, that is definitely an interesting approach, but how would entering a house compare to the extreme "unwelcomeness" people will project when their neck is being bitten? | |
| Apr 16, 2016 at 4:00 | comment | added | Wildcard | @Cyrus, I would go with Quantum Physics—not that it's explained by quantum physics, but it's explained by the same thing that also explains quantum physics. Namely, the unexplored and powerful influence of human intentions upon the nature of reality. Vampires are more sensitive to this than humans, although some sensitive humans will perceive it in varying degrees, from a "feeling of unwelcomeness" and nervousness, to in some cases an overpowering nausea in response to entering uninvited. Note: This may or may not be fiction; ask again in 100 years. ;) | |

| Apr 12, 2016 at 13:02 | comment | added | user1717828 | I'm looking for a scientific explanation - perhaps you should rephrase as a science fiction explanation, since the iterative process of observation and analysis is not possible for fictional settings. | |

| Apr 12, 2016 at 7:17 | comment | added | Cyrus | The problem with any physical force that prevents the vampire from entering is this: How does it suddenly stop working when some person speaks a few words? If Divine Power is out, Psychology is your best bet. | |
