If our lifes weren't already scripted (written) how does one explain deja vu?

Its an anomaly of memory; it is the impression, that an experience is "being recalled",this is false. This explanation is substantiated by the fact that the sense of "recollection" at the time is strong in most cases, but that the circumstances of the "previous" experience (when, where and how the earlier experience occurred) are quite uncertain. Likewise, as time passes, subjects can exhibit a strong recollection of having the "unsettling" experience of déjà vu itself, but little to no recollection of the specifics of the event(s) or circumstance(s) they were "remembering" when they had the déjà vu experience. In particular, this may result from an overlap between the neurological systems responsible for short-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the present) and those responsible for long-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the past).

Thats actually a pretty good explanation

You were just sitting there waiting for someone to ask, weren't you??

There's a new theory out there that states that 3D space is nothing more than an optical illusion. A "hologram", if you will. I don't really understand the most of it, but it has to do with quantum physics. The theory is being taken seriously enough that they are running certain tests to find out if it's true or not..

If it's true, isn't that essentially that we are all just part of a computer program? It's way far fetched and all, but anything is possible. Look at how people reacted when the "Earth is round" theory came out..

All I know is that when I pass away, I hope to go to some place and have all these questions answered.. and I hope that I just don't.. come to an end and never exist again.

By the rhythm and diversity of the topics that GSeybold is covering, I would guess this is a 'paid service'

p.s. Can I exercise my speculation right? [or my d?j? vu]
