Ditto. Chaos theory, it's a helluva ride.

I've thought for years that what deja vu really is is information that we've already picked up, possibly in dreams, but our brains don't really know how to categorize future information. So, when the event finally happens, our brains go, "Hey, I've seen this before," and throw it back to you as a memory.
I don't know what to make of this black box any more than I know what to make of most of the stuff that gets posted here in Paranoia. I think the brain, and humanity in general, are capable of a lot more than they're given credit for. All I know is, if this turns out to be true, it's a huge leap forward. For what I haven't the foggiest, but how could something like this be true and have absolutely no effect on the way we, and science as a field, perceive the universe around us?
