the extent of my sixth sense ability is that I have loads of "Deja Vu" moments but they are USELESS to me because I can't do shit about it until it's too late.

Deja Vu is the brain switching off for a milli second which is a perfectly rational explanation for experiencing a certain event again because the mind doesn't remember a scenario and therefore doesn't see the scene as one continuous event and sees them as separate events which then leads us to believe that we have seen the same event again but what we are really experiencing is a delay between our eyes and brain.

This then leads to us thinking that we are seeing something again but what is really happening is a crosswire in our sypnases.

We HAVE seen the event but that microsopic shutdown makes us think otherwise.

Whilst we all know that we are only using approx. 20% of our brains at any given time and there are times when strange occurrences happen regarding phenomena that we cannot explain, It is virtually inconceivable that a future can be predicted due to the phenomenon of cause and effect.

I have never heard of this but I did some slight research and there is also a theory that one eyes sees the event fractionally faster than the other eye and it causes the same sensation of Deja Vu.
