My Theories.....

[buttonpresser4815]

Family Christmas Party, just got back from. I know this sounds cheesy, but i have a lot of fun with my cousins. Most of them are my age or slightly older, and we have a lot of fun discussing these things, espicially when my grandfather is involved. So here are some theories.

Deja vu: You all know what that is. Our theory on Deja vu is this:
Here is a timeline: ---------------------
Here is a timeline when a deja vu occurs ------------^------------

There is like, a blip in the time space continuum. It causes the event you are about to do to occur, before you do it, but it happens so fast that only your subconscious registers it.

Ghosts: Now we had lots of fun with this. Let's say that in the future, people are somehow enabled to travel at a speed faster than light. Since you travel faster than the speed of light, you can pass through objects, since mass only exists less than or equal to the speed of light. In this theory, time is referred to as a straight line going up, curving, and going down. Let's say there is a point in the curve in the straight line portion. Ordinarily, you would have to travel across the whole span of time, but, traveling faster than the speed of light, you can pass straight across the void of time. Since you travel into the past and have no mass, you have a silhoutte of a person that is looking at you in time and space. That explains ghosts in the past looking in the future, since when you die, according to theoreticians, you travel into a void and move at or faster than the speed of light, then, theoretically, you would move most likely back to the point from which you came.

The Future: I think that we determined that the future doesn't exist, because if it did exist, then so would fate, and there would be no free will. The present is simply an acceleration of the present. This kind of contradicts the above theory, but its hard to not do that.

One more thing. Since the universe expands and shrinks, what if it keeps on happening over and over, and I have already written this a billion times, and we keep on repeating the span of time over and over?

So theres our theories. I shall close with the philosophical question, Can God Himself Make A Stone He Cannot Lift? The truth is that he cannot contradict himself, and so then he would have to recreate the universe.

Your deja vu theory makes sense. The only theory that i can offer to that is that it could simply be a limited form of being psychic abilites surfacing. I have had a sense of Deja vu once, and i later realized that it was an event that had never happened before, until it happened soon after the feeling went away. The only other theory I have about relates to reincarnation. If riencarnation is true, then perhaps Deja Vu happens because you remember something in your past life that is similar to what is happening in your current life.

I can't find anything much to add to the ghost theory, but how would you explain the sighting of a ghost of say a long dead family member?

You mentioned something about the future in your Ghost theory. You said that unless fate existed, then the future is non existant yet. Have you taken a look at my time theory? I suggest that you do. If not, then I will re-post that theory later, but I'm low on time right now.

I am afraid that I do not have much to offer in the way of theories pertaining to these particular topics, but your theory as to the sighting of ghosts does provoke some interesting thought, a good theory. Your theory concerning the repetition of time is fairly straight forward, but a classic one that I have given limited thought. A great deal of my theories concern human perception and, to some extent, vision. Regardless, interesting theories, clearly given thought, post more if the spirit moves you.

I'll have to agree with Ras, Im not much of a person into that kind of catagory. Im the one that relizes that somethings dont have an explination. Such an explination would be beyond human comprehension, and appear as "impossible". I wont only be able to post this in such a topic:

"Dont limit yourself to the boudries of your mind. Some things cannot be understood. Accpeting this is the only way to truly advance"

[Jarlaxle]

To add to Reno's final suggestion, I offer one of my own: Assume that anything and I mean ANYTHING is possible!

[Raistlin Majere]

That's a theory? More like a personal philosophy. (You might be discluding ridiculous things such as lifting a planet onto your shoulders, or physically transforming into a random object. Ridiculous, but it still qualifies as "anything") You're probably thinking that anything might be possible in the future. There are countless things right now that are so incredibly unlikely that they're pretty much impossible. Maybe ANYTHING is possible, but not right now. Besides that, your (Yours/Reno's) two suggestions seem to contrast rather than compare-- some things can't be understood by humans, there are things beyond our comprehension, and on the other hand--ANYTHING is possible. Do you mean a)anything can be done, just like that, or b) That humans will eventually figure out and know how to do EVERYTHING. I know I'm picking this apart, but a vague idea doesn't say much.

[Reno]

Anything is possible. Anything can be done, wether a human can do, or comprehend it is the question. Its that simple. Dont expect one of your scientific explinations for something like this

Well this is where it gets interesting. Scientifically, when you die, your, essence travels greater than or equal to the speed of light(im going to call it SOL since i use it so much) Since they are doing this, they travel infinitely and wander. Since you are = > The SOL, you can traverse freely from point A-B. Where are you gonna go if you travel endlessly and freely? TO the place you died, which most often tends to be why ghosts only appear in the place they die.

"Well, its tough to keep sniping when you throw a bomb like that in there." Different discussion, and unfortunately off-topic.

As for your theory, TMP, why do you think that these 'ghosts' return to the place they died?

[buttonpresser4815]

Where else would they go?

[Raistlin Majere]

I suppose you have a point. But if you travel equal to or greater than the speed of light, and can easily travel from any point A to any point B, as you say, then couldn't they simply go ANYWHERE? What makes the place of death so attractive?

[buttonpresser4815]

Well, the place of death, since they can travel so fast, is the easiest to get to, and, the only place they are likely to know where it is. Going anywhere else will be much harder...I guess.

[Raistlin Majere]

Do you have a theory as why that is, or is it simply part of the theory as a whole that has to be assumed? If the place of death is "the only place they are likely to know where it is", then do you figure that everything else is forgotten, for couldn't they just as easily go to any place they've ever been to, and to places that they haven't been?

[Jarlaxle]

You would think so. Most ghost theories I've heard of never mentioned anything about the ghost being locked in one possition.

[Reno]

Ok, i still dont get this, these idea's are very, very bizarre in everyway. Your talking about Ghosts that just "want" to go where they died because... " they want to" and then you guys say that its harder for them to go anywhere else? Im not fully getting this at all.
