you've been through something or been somewhere before? Sometimes this feeling is so intense that we actually may feel that we have been through this event before, either in this life or another. Now researchers feel that it is actually the result of a miscommunication in the brain. It happens when you see something that has a familiar pattern that you can’t quite place, or a location you might have seen in a book or in a movie. And other theorists say that deja vu happens when parallel universes temporarily sync, and that it’s an indication that you’re experiencing the same thing somewhere else. At Colorado State University researchers have found that they can actually cause people to have feelings of deja vu under carefully controlled circumstances, and they did it using video games. One fringe theory says that deja vu happens when two universes, normally separate, are temporarily in sync. “When some French were assembling an encyclopedia of paranormal experiences, they decided to leave déjà vu out, because it was so common it could not be considered paranormal.” —Kim Stanley Robinson, Galileo’s Dream What are your thoughts on this issue?
