I don't know where to put this but me and my friends were talking today about having deja-vu a lot of times and I'm thinking that deja-vu isn't all in our mind but it is actually all time travel related. I think the reason we have deja-vu, the flashbacks that just pop up in our mind as a vision that we have done this already, has to do something with time travel. Either someone is time traveling and altering the future or past and that affects all of us because we get that vision sometimes that we have seen this or done this or we are all weird. >_> what you think?

Misfiring of a neuron, it is just in your head.

I bet you couldn't explain precognitive dreaming so simply

Maybe if someone shows me some reliable evidence of such first.

The explanation I was told is that it is just a split second time lag in the information from two senses being assimilated by the brain, ie from each eye or from sight and touch, touch and taste, sight and smell etc. Because the information has a time lag, the reception of the second wave of information is momentarily perceived as being 'already there' as it is interpreted as the same information as that from the first sense; hence, something that has been experienced before.

It's not time travel, and it's not a glitch in The Matrix.

I still think when we get deja vu its something we already did and the things we do now are different because someone altered the past. Out of billions of people in this world, nobody knows how to time travel?

That doesn't pan out though...

If someone went into the past and altered something, you/we would still only experience 'present' events the once. You/we would not have experienced the event in its 'original state' before the time traveller changed it, in order to notice (or not notice) any difference between how it was originally and how it was after alteration...

The only way for you/we to experience an event 'twice' and thus be able to detect any changes between 'first time' and 'second time' would be if a: we travelled in time also, or b: time itself was wound or jumped backwards so that everything had a chance to occur a second time.
In scenario a: we would most definitely notice that we had gone back in time, because we would meet ourselves; but then, in the past would be a separate living entity and experience the event from the viewpoint of another person. and in scenario b: all of the trillions upon trillions of individual little things that happen in the world each second would not end up having almost the same cumulative result to be almost noticeable as the same, and having almost the same effect. The smallest little alteration to the past would cause massive differences in a very short space of time.. aka The Butterfly Effect... and the 'second time around' would either never happen or be so completely different to the 'first time around' as to be unrecogniseable.

And there are many people in the world today who know how to time travel, it's just that they don't have the funding or the ability to do it... yet.

Y'wanna know how to trigger deja vu?
How I do it is to get really tired. When I'm real tired, I get get the feeling of deja vu pretty often. Also, when I havn't eaten for awhile, it'll happen.

Er...
It can be safely said that out of those billions of people, many of them have trouble just getting their computer to come one, those of them that have a computer.
