The mind is a wonderful structure, one we presently know very little about but are slowly expanding our understanding of its power. Maybe our minds have the ability to project into the future (or past). It would lend some credibility to the guy with the device he places around his head. Just tossing that out there for discussion.

Discover magazine had an article about the human brain a while ago, and they explained deja vu. It apparently happens when the brain takes information that should be stored in the area of the brain that is responsible for short-term memory, and stores it in the long-term memory area. It gives the sensation when some is presently ocurring, that it is a memory being retrieved.
