by MessageToEagle

Have you ever had a daja�vu experience? It's the feeling, or impression that you have already witnessed or experienced a current situation.

The term daja vu is French and means, literally, "already seen."

It is a rather common, yet little understood phenomenon. Most of us have experienced being in a new place and feeling certain that we have been there before, but we have difficulties understanding how it is possible.

For a long time, this eerie sensation has been attributed to everything from paranormal disturbances to neurological disorders.

In recent years, as more scientists began studying this phenomenon, a number of theories about daja� vu have emerged, suggesting that it is not merely a glitch in our brain's memory system.

Psychologists have suggested that daja vu may occur when specific aspects of a current situation resemble certain aspects of previously occurring situations.

If there is a lot of overlap between the elements of the new and old situations, we get a strong feeling of familiarity.

Alternative explanations associate daja� vu with prophecy, past life memories, clairvoyance, or a mystic signpost indicating fulfillment of a predetermined condition on the journey of life.

Whatever the explanation, daja� vu is certainly a phenomenon that is universal to the human condition, and its fundamental cause is still a mystery

Another intriguing possibility is that there is a hidden connection between daja� vu and the existence of parallel universes.

As some already know, the multiverse is a theory in which our universe is not the only one, but states that many universes exist parallel to each other. These distinct universes within the multiverse theory are called parallel universes.

According to Dr. Kaku, quantum physics states that there is the possibility that daja� vu might be caused by your ability to "flip between different universes".

Dr. Michio Kaku explains one theory behind daja� vu and asks, "Is it ever possible on any scale to perhaps flip between different universes?"

Dr. Kaku mentions, Professor Steve Weinberg, the famous theoretical physicist and Nobel Prize winner, supports the idea of a multiverse.

Dr. Kaku is the author of Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos.

Weinberg says that there are an infinite number of parallel realities coexisting with us in the same room.

"There are hundreds of different radio waves being broadcast all around you from distant stations. At any given instant, your office or car or living room is full of these radio waves. However if you turn on a radio, you can listen to only one frequency at a time; these other frequencies are not in phase with each other.

Each station has a different frequency, a different energy. As a result, your radio can only be turned to one broadcast at a time.

Likewise, in our universe we are tuned into the frequency that corresponds to physical reality.

But there are an infinite number of parallel realities coexisting with us in the same room, although we cannot tune into them."

While your radio is tuned to pick up a certain frequency and thus a single radio station, our universe consists of atoms that are oscillating at a unique frequency that other universes are not vibrating at.

Universes are usually not "in phase", that is vibrating at the same frequency, with each other due to the divisions caused by time, but when they are "in phase" it is theoretically possible to "move back and forth" between universes.

So although it is "uncertain", it could be possible that when you are experiencing daja� vu, you are "vibrating in unison" with a parallel universe, explains Dr. Kaku

Perhaps our daja� vu experiences are a window into a parallel universe.

I have it all the time and I go with this:

"Psychologists have suggested that deja vu may occur when specific aspects of a current situation resemble certain aspects of previously occurring situations."

I think there are multi dimensions

I just put it down to all the clubbing and raves I went to in the late 80's and early 90's and the fact that it was the E's that had fried my head? Not true! I've had it a few times and once it freaked me out in a place I'd never been before, as I seemed to know my way about without asking directions, or anything. I even recognised faces also and knew for a fact that i'd never been there!

Kaku is one Guy you have to take with a ton of Salt,not just a Grain!

Michio Kaku is a renowned theoretical physicist, best-selling author, popularizer of science and media personality. He's the co-founder of string field theory (a branch of string theory). Although once an active physicist, he essentially stopped publishing original research in the early 1990's.[1] Kaku is popular in mainstream media because of his knowledge and his accessible approach to presenting complex subjects in science as well as his talent for supplying irrational, fear-mongering soundbites. While his technical writings are confined to theoretical physics, his public speaking and media appearances cover a broad range of topics, from the Kardashev scale to more esoteric subjects such as wormholes and time travel.

He also hosts the show Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible (based on his book of the same name) on the Science Channel which debates the likelihood of science fiction tropes coming into reality. In doing so, he displays his ignorance of almost all branches of science outside of physics. He also hosts a public radio show (Exploration) which follows the same lines, with a smattering of geopolitics thrown in.

Though Kaku is a qualified physicist working on reconciling quantum mechanics and relativity through string theory, he tends to be a bit of a crank who, somehow, has managed in recent years to appear as an "expert" on nearly every scientific documentary ranging from cosmology to the environment.

When he isn't deciding what he is an expert on (and it does make one wonder how much time he spends on it), he is busy with his Science of the Impossible aimed at Star Trek fans who want to know how phasers "work,"[2] his cameo appearances on random History Channel shows, and the Science Channel series based on one of his woo-istic books (which he flogs heavily on his radio show).

In short, he may be brilliant, but he is embarrassing outside his field of (extreme) expertise.

UFOs

In August 2010, during a TV interview,[3] Kaku demonstrated some bad thinking about UFOs. He said that 95% can be easily identified, but the remaining 5% are truly unidentified and "can't be dismissed." He also implied that witnesses in positions of authority are somehow more reliable, which doesn't stand up to scrutiny.[4] He also stated that aliens might come from a different dimension but is more sensible than David Icke generally.[5]

Anti-nuclear activism

Kaku has a history of rather hysteric anti-nuclear views. In the 90s, he spread myths about plutonium toxicity, and organized protests against the launch of the Cassini probe on the grounds that it was powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator containing plutonium. He predicted dire consequences for launch failure, which obviously didn't happen.[6] These predictions did not take into account the fact that several accidents involving spacecraft carrying nuclear power sources happened in the past and none of them had significant impact.

After the nuclear accident at Fukushima, he joined the fear-mongering. For example, he appeared on CBS's 60 Minutes, where he claimed that the accident would "impact all of humanity" and has "unspeakable consequences," and made a number of other overblown predictions. The program called him a "leading nuclear scientist," although there's almost no connection between his field and nuclear power.[7][8] He also made blatantly false claims about the core of Chernobyl's Unit 4 core still being molten.[9]

I have a feeling an alternate me has read this thread before.

i always attribute it to one of two things- alternate dimensions, or something in our genes being reminded of our forefathers/mothers memories, since i do believe memory is passed from our mothers/fathers and beyond...

hi Blondey!

not a lot of evidence to support MD's, but i think so too... i also think that there are beings that come from other dimensions, such as shadow people and ghosts/demons...(as we call them)

i know, right? they just give those doctorates to anyone nowadays...

I do as well.

i get deja vu alot, never understood it. its pretty damn wierd tho. like when you go to do something and you just pause and have that wierd feeling that you did the same exact thing in the same exact place. i dunno too smart for me to comprehend.

I don't think there is or will ever be a scientific explanation for it.
* Unless there is.... & they are not telling us. *
Maybe... since we only use a small portion of our brain * even dolphins use more * Maybe... another portion of our brain has become activated... Or it was was active... but we suddenly feel or are aware of it... or the portions are suddenly aware of each other .... Whoa !

The most likely explanation I have heard is that you have been there before. A fraction of a second before. It's like your brain does a retake on the situation. Like a little hiccup.

I heard that too. But then, one would HAVE to believe in reincarnation, which also defies scientific explanation & tries to cancel out ALL secs of Jew- Christian & Muslim faith.

* I don't get in the ring with the creator, no one has the gloves for that *

You lost me there! Why would we have to believe in reincarnation?

A group of us were in the midst of something, and Mr A was at Table A. Then, I thought I saw him move from Table A to Table B, I looked up and he was still at A. Next moment, he did recreate the exact movements from A to B that I had foreseen .....freaked me out!

What do you make of this.....dejavu or what?

Sounds like a whaat !!!!

.You said " The most logical explanation is you have been there before"

So the only way that could possibly be is... reincarnation.
And reincarnation defies 3 of the 4 major religious of the world.

I meant being there a fraction of a second before. In other words, it is the same situation. It would be like replaying a tape of the same situation almost instantaneous.
