A New Spin on Déjà Vu
A friend of mine sent me an article on a theory by Brian Whitworth Ph.D that basically puts the idea out there that the Big Bang was actually someone or something flipping the switch on a ‘Virtual Reality’ which we experience as our ‘real reality’. While this idea is pretty cool it’s hard to think that we’re nothing more than a simulation in a virtual world. Kind of takes the ‘Bang’ out of life. However, this theory got me thinking about Déjà vu the other day and I have my own theory I’d like to throw out there:
What if Déjà vu is your mind or your consciousness coming back to a ’save’ point in your life. For example, you get Déjà vu while driving your car. What if “you” have already driven down this street and you made a choice that led to another choice that led to another choice that eventually led to a situation or decision your consciousness either couldn’t handle or didn’t want to so it analyzed the data it had, found a point where it believes the chain of events started from and ‘reset’ you to that point. The more times you’ve been ‘reset’ to that point the more times you’ve experienced it and as a by product the Déjà vu gets more intense and lengthy.
In the article Mr. Whitworth asks for readers to let him know if they come up with any ideas on a certain part of his theory. Well, accepting his gracious offer I emailed him about a month and a half ago but never got any confirmation that he ever received it or read it. Now, I understand that he is probably a very busy man, but it doesn’t take that long to send a ‘thanks for reading my interview and paying enough attention to it to form an opinion.’ I mean, where’s the love Mr. Whitworth?
