The Deja Vu Efffect

Déjà vu "already seen"; also called paramnesia, or promnesia, is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has happened in the near past), although the exact circumstances of the previous encounter are uncertain. The term was coined by a French psychic researcher, Emile Boirac (1851–1917) in his book "L'Avenir des sciences psychiques" ("The Future of Psychic Sciences"), which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness," "strangeness," or "weirdness." The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past.

The deja vu phenomenom has been attributed to links to a disorder such as temporal lobe epilepsy, or schizophrenia. Certain phameceuticals may bring about the deja vu effect. Some people point to Parapsychological abilities like clarivoyance, or dreams or reincarnation as the source for deja vu. While these may bring about the deja vu effect, the Temporal Bubble theory hasn't been researched to any great extent.

A Temporal Bubble is a floating bubble of time. It bounces and floats independent of "normal time". Depending on the float direction, and the size - a temporal bubble is capable of speeding up or slowing down "normal time" for people passing through the bubble.

We've all had those days where time just seems to drag, or all of a sudden you look up and exclaim "WOW! Where did the time go?". In this example, you've been encased in a temporal bubble. Once the bubble has passed, time returns to normal.

With deja vu, the temporal bubble hasn't encased you, nor have you passed through the bubble, rather you have "bumped" into the bubble. It's similar to bumping into a telephone pole and knocking you back on your butt - except it doesn't hurt nor give your friends a reason to chuckle.

The size of the temporal bubble is small and therefore it usually just effects one person, although there are anecdotal stories of two or more people bumping into the same bubble at the same time. The impact physically sends you back in time for a few seconds. You are bounced out of "normal time".


And reemerge a few seconds previous to the time of impact. You experience a deja vu "feeling" as opposed to a "memory" because the force of the impact and bouncing back in time has caused a perceptiual disorientation.
