“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” -Nikola Tesla
You are the most logical and open minded person I have ever seen . The way you admit that science cannot understand each and everything and that it requires controlled conditions to work is so considerate of you.
The weirdest deja vu, or premonition maybe? that I ever experienced, was as a teenager. Sitting at home alone in the living room, drawing. A friend, Ryan, was over earlier, and forgot his hat. His mother's van pulls up in the driveway, Ryan get's out, comes to the door. Tells me he forgot his hat, can he go down stairs and get it. I said sure, let him run down stairs, and sat back down to draw. After a few minutes, I noticed the van was gone, but I didn't see Ryan leave. So I went to the top of the stairs, called down to him. Nothing, no answer. So I go down into the basement. No one there. Okay, figured he left, and I didn't notice. Whatever. So, back to drawing. A few moments later, Ryan's mother's van pulls into the driveway, and Ryan comes to the door. He tells me he forgot his hat, and asked if he could go down stairs and get it. I was a little stunned, and asked if he wasn't just there a not long ago. He tells me no. I let him go get his hat, this time went with him, and tell him about what just happened. What the fuck? That experience is burned in my brain. It was the first time anything like that happened, and nothing like it has happened since.
Tarudox I have never really come up with an explanation for it. I assume I was sleep deprived or something. Maybe a combination of that, and what normally causes deja vu? No idea, heh.
Swidhelm very intriguing indeed. Time shift? Alternate realty? Pre-conceived notion of you knowing his dilemma with his hat had given to your expectations of his aforementioned actions...most plausible. Interesting, none-the - less.
I actually have a friend who is a university mathematician studying metaphysics and the nature of the existence of things beyond what is generally scientifically accepted. Those fields seem almost unreconcilable to hear them spoken on alongside the other, and yet he feels he can definitively prove that the things about which we spend time debating the very existence of are in fact as real, if not more so, than our very flesh and blood. So it's a very interesting topic to me.
It's absolutely necessary for us to study the paranormal! Over man's entire history, he has been met with things that at first seemed "paranormal" or seemed like "magic". It was only when man put on his "thinking cap", that we began to pick things apart, delving into the realm of the unknown, in a bid to understand all of the incredible processes around him. Can u imagine giving Neanderthals one of our smartphones, or one of those INCREDIBLE massage chairs you'd be willing to refinance your house for? Neanderthals wouldn't have been capable of comprehending what they were looking at, let alone what it did or how to use it. And to us, they're such an integral and interwoven part of our daily lives, that we can't go back now. Point being, our phones would've appeared magical or paranormal to them. A final note, one of my most favorite quotes relating to all things paranormal is: "The absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence"
I don't think we can dismiss deja vu at all. It's quite the amazing experience. I've had Deja Vu where I actually remember the words people are about to say or a topic somebody will bring up. Say I'm talking to a person and suddenly I feel deja vu, in my mind I'm recalling this conversation and in my head I'm predicting what the person is going to say word-for-word perfectly... Lucky guess? Maybe. However this has happened many times. I don't think it could be anything as simple as a misfiring neuron or some mental illness, especially when I'm correctly predicting words/topics. I've even had dreams where I was watching movies that haven't even been released and I find myself predicting the next scene accurately when I finally do watch.
StoreBrand I don't think these examples are standard deja-vu experiences, you may want to Google "clear seeing", "clear knowing" and/or "scientific descriptions of the psychic modalities" Clearly symptoms of the potential for higher evolution leveling. "Meditate" - release negative energy, negative learned info/opinions, and allow for soul consciousness to emerge. Embrace your "you" and All of your potentials. "Get a guru" ☮⚖⚛❤🔆
Refusal to study something you don't understand is basically openly admitting you are ignorant and do not care about understanding things. We understand so very little of our reality, anyone who tells you otherwise is not doing so based on facts, logic, or reason. It should be our job as humans, scientist, and inhabitants of this universe to specifically seek out that which we do not understand and study it, even if fruitlessly. If we do no study the unknown, how do we expect to discover it?
+Throttle Kitty Well, to most people it's the same as refusing to study unicorns or leprechauns. They think it's a waste of time, and I agree. Well, with most aspects of supernatural. Some would be easy to prove/disprove. And I mean true supernatural, not some of the stuff he talks about here where they do actually study.
cortster12 No, that is not an appropriate comparison at all. If there is no evidence of something's existence, and no one believe's it exists, it is clearly a waste of effort researching it. Anyone with proper comprehension skills should realize that.
@yahya s5230 like "Why did I watch this video? I didn't even learn anything. I'm not even paying attention to it." Or _"What am I doing?"_ "Why are fish fish?" _Why can we sometimes see/remember something happening then later on said thing happends?"_ "Why am I asking so much questions?" _"How are words words?"_ Why are things things?" _"How are things things?"_ And many other questions.
Love how Trace basically translated the scientists "we have no idea what's happening, but here's a cool part of the brain that makes me sound smart"! Trace is awesome!
I've always been more interested in jamais vu, when you walk into a place you've been in hundreds of times and yet feel like you've never been there before in your life.
***** I just looked at the definition, it's also like when you look at a word for a long time and say it out loud for a while and it randomly looks unfamiliar to you
+Superficially Steph Because sometimes happens in places where you go regularly. For example you go to school everyday and one day you feel as you never been there.
+Máximo Sant De Barrondo That would be a good place to have a jamais vu. Teacher says "whez ya homework jimmeh!?" Jimmie replies "What homework? It's the first day! We've never been here before, teacher. Have you taken ya pills?"
What about consciousness? Do they really know what it is? how can you build one? how many neurons do you need to create a consiousness?? Does anybody know that?
There are a lot of ideas, and very little truth. Try reading "The Origins of Consciousness in the Bicameral Mind." It may be a bit old, but it shows very well how little we know.
+Hidden Thicket Would you support re-assigning researchers who are currently investigating ways to develop a vaccine against influenza to studying what ways we can best please Lord Chemosh? There are only a limited number of people, a smaller number of them capable of doing productive research, and a limited number of hours in their days. If things which have no evidence to support even the possibility of their existence are deserving of study, what method can we use to determine where we spend these limited resources? People are dying of influenza now, but clearly if we could please Lord Chemosh he could end world hunger. It seems like a difficult choice to make.
Dustin Rodriguez I never said anything about reassigning anyone away from anything. Only that there is nothing undeserving of study. Some things are more deserving, but nothing is inherently undeserving. I suppose there is eventually a time to give up and study something else, though. Has Lord Chemosh ended world hunger despite our attempts to please him? No. That's why we largely moved along from that sort of thing and changed focus to agriculture and genetics instead.
Hidden Thicket You have to reassign people. There are only a limited number of researchers, and if everything is worthy of study, great swathes of things will be ignored as we concentrate on the things that have evidence to support them. As for Chemosh, we don't know much about him. According to the Christian Bible, he did repel the Israelites and their god when they were trying to invade a city he protected because the leader crushed his own sons head against a rock in sacrifice to him. We haven't studied what benefits we could get from trying to please him in millenia, so we have no way of knowing what benefits there might be. Studying agriculture is all well and good, but if studying Chemosh has value, as you say all things do, we should reassign some people or redirect some of the kids in college studying plant biology to studying Chemosh and other abandoned gods.
Also, Dustin, I get Hidden Thicket's point, you don't necessarily have to reassign researchers. But there simply are no funds to incentivise pointless woowoo research. Sponsor Loch Ness monster expeditions with $10 mil and there will be people willing to spend their time proving or disproving its existence (and no, you wouldn't have to reassign anyone trying to develop the next vaccine against influenza if they don't care about the Loch Ness monster).
I think deja vu is related to whatever makes someone else start humming a song you were thinking of. Something to do with frequencies we detect and aren't aware of that connect us Or that memory being stored immediately and remembered immediately. or both.
you've got something there, there was a writer or songwriter who said he didn't write the song, he was fishing them out from other streams of ideas. which is why there are times we get certain ideas that seem to be similar from others but we've not seen their work. or have heard a song and you feel you've heard it before...
Z Queen dream Javu is creepy to me. rarely happens but it's always something normal, like waking up in a bed I don't recognize with hats on the wall. then years later it happens
First of all, this is definitely in my top five series you guys have done just because it's so clever, skirting the razor edge of the boundaries of science to peek at what else is out there through a scientific lens. Well done. That being said, I think what's important to remember here is that science is a tool, and while it's an extremely powerful tool, a chainsaw works great as a chainsaw but not so great as a clamp. The objective world -- which is what science focuses on by definition -- is arguably the *primary* aspect of reality, but it's an extreme oversimplification to say that it's the only thing that makes up human experience. For example, what purely objective motivation do we have to do science? Because things will get better? We're just one of an incomprehensible number of tiny dots in a vast expanse of nothingness with no clear purpose. What *is* "better" in an objective sense? Global warming? Nuclear fallout? It doesn't matter if you believe that there isn't anything "else" out there independent of matter and the universe as we know it interacting with us. The "secondary" subjective experiences may or may not be based purely in hard matter, no pun intended but it doesn't *matter* because they're just as important to *us* as the things we can all agree are the same, and in a sense we *make* them real.
I think a deja Vu is just a brain error, where what you see and hear is directly written into memory, so you think this exact thing happened while it just gets written. This is the most logical explanation that I just came up with.
Steve Johnson you were thinking that you knew it before it happened, as I said your brain stored that information while you're thinking. A bit of a positive feedback loop. Nobody can really know what happens in the future, even if it feels like that, senses are not the best way to experience reality, but they aren't the worst either.
Steve Johnson what's supernatural in this exact setting? I can tell you that your brain missfired signals, most likely because you have been frightened of dropping her, I can't know that. But that would be a reason to create that effect of writing the memory while experiencing a moment. (thinking about it is equal to experiencing) I don't expect anyone to understand that phenomenon, but that's the most logical explanation. Also I didn't want to attack you with missfired signals, that's natural, it happens to most of humanity at some point. Friendly? ;D
Steve Johnson how do you want to know if you had a dream about it after that deja Vu moment? What makes you believe something "supernatural" happened? Sorry to disappoint you, in reality is nothing, absolutely nothing supernatural, only our minds can trick us into believing that. I tested my deja Vu theory on some friends, and asked them to describe their experience and I came to this conclusion too. Actually I came to this theory while studying my last deja Vu, it was very recent back then, I tracked that feeling back to a part of my brain, where memory is written, that experience started by positive feedback loop and then corrupts the memory writing and accessing ability. Since then I haven't had a deja Vu moment anymore, normally I had such an experience about every month. I think by tracking this signal back by forcing this experience I either disconnected that process or just made it stable, only time will tell, if I won't get this deja Vu moment again I know for sure that I "cured" it for myself... I really don't hope so, because that experience is kinda fun sometimes and it feels weird.
Its true about the placebo effect. Ive stopped smoking a few while back. But whenever i feel stressed or full of anxiety. I close my eyes, breath in a pattern of smoking and i instantly feel calm as what people who smoke feel.
I feel like many paranormal phenomenon are actually within the realm of science, but at a level that we do not understand yet. I mean have you ever been talking to a friend or family member and you think the same thing or say the same thing. Or have you ever just knew a family member was in trouble? I think all of it is explainable, with the right amount of legitimate research, and the advancement of technology.
I only remember a few experiences of esp like things. I recall being able to tell if a friend of mine was emotionally stressed, who lived over two thousand miles away. I had gone a few weeks of little contact because she was busy with drama class. I called her and she was ether sick or quite sad. Of course I attribute this to my faith, with the spirit and all that. (I'm one of those Mormon boys) The other time in middle school, was a dream I had of math class, taking down notes. The school i was going to at the time had a block schedule, so odd period classes one day, even on the other. So I come into class, and I realize I had already learned it, with a deja vu feel to it. I was going to ask if we had already learned it yesterday, but I remembered the schedule, and tried to think back to what i had done before first learning it, but I had no memory of even entering the class in that memory.
In the PLOS One IBS placebo study, the report says the placebo pills were administered with the description that even though they were placebo, they had been shown to help IBS symptoms in clinical studies. That claim would be enough to trigger the placebo affect. They should have administered the placebo with no indication that it would help. For a fair test, they should have just told them they were getting a placebo, and then defined what a placebo is, not what the placebo has been shown to do. I'll bet if you did the same test but described the placebo as having no measurable effect... they would have gotten a very different result. The power of suggestion is... powerful. Also would have been nice to see a slightly larger test group. The power of the mind should never be underestimated.
I would love someone to explain an experience I had 43 years ago. While having a deja vu moment in class, my mind went forward and for a few minutes I clearly saw (as if looking at a re-run), what was about to happen. I told a class mate at the time what the teacher would do and everything occurred exactly as I fore saw. I soooo wish i could enter this state on demand.
The Easter Island Heads are actually 70 foot tall statues that weigh tons. They are being studied right now but don't know why they were partially buried.
It's crazy when you talk about IBS and the placebo pill, I feel IBS is affect by stress and for me it's something that happens overnight and it's the worst in the morning and fades throughout the day. So i'd guess it's deffinetly affecting the subconsious
Everything is worth studying. It's up to the researcher to keep pushing the boundary of the unknown as far as it can go, and then figure out how to go a little bit further.
I'm a devout atheist but I believe ESP is possible this way, emotional ESP, animals know when you're frightened, I live in the woods, they also know when you're not, they seem to also know when you're happy, and possibly whales have visited me because I was eager to see them, a personal accidental study, maybe ten out of thirteen attempts, they came! Best sightings ever!
There is something to understand a "paranormal" phenomenon: most of the time, it relies on some form of "cheating": guessing something using clues you're not supposed to have, relying on people's reaction to know what they are thinking (cold reading and mentalism), using a clever trick (that's the job of magicians), etc. For example the Loch Ness monster and big foot are human creations: people have admitted creating them, but that did not stop the believers. It is also possible to trace back the story of the UFO's and the guy that made the first "photos" of UFO's using pots and pans. So of course, don't dismiss too quickly claims that contradict your beliefs, but in the explanations, don't forget to consider the social elements: humans fabricate stories and there is business in deceiving other people, or even ourselves.
I've experienced de ja vu many times it used to drive me insane but now when it happens I try to embrace it for i usually go thru de Ja va for multiple hours
It makes sense that ibs could be helped with placebos. The diseases is greatly influenced by emotions and is very inconsistent. Any small comfort can influence it's inconsistent symptoms. I had a job I hated and I would get sick every day before work. After calling in I would feel a little better.
Moai "heads" actually have bodies. One easy technique to make them move is with ropes, they attached the rope around the shoulders of the statue and by pulling on each sides, at an interval, they could make the statue "walk".
People with epilepsy sometimes experience deja vu or jamais vu when they have simple partial seizures and right before a generalized seizure. I personally experience Jamais Vu quite frequently and it has been linked to epileptiform activity in my brain.
It's happened to me to think about something, stop thinking about it for some seconds and when I think about it again it feels like deja vu. So I kinda agree with the hypothesis of it being a connection that goes broken (to a memory) and re-established so it feels like the first time the second time you experience but you think you kinda experienced it before (because you just did).
Can you do a series about the maker movement and DIY and makerspaces and people with hobbies? I'm part of a makerspace called Fubarlabs and I would be glad to help and give information for the series.
There is a documentary on the Moai and they reconstructed how they made them and moved them. It would be awesome to think it was some great mystery and such, but they were able to move them by using ropes and rocking them back and forth... thus walking them to their spots. Took a while to do it, but they were able to do it fairly easily. Kinda took the magic out of it, but it's still pretty cool ;)
Some scientists have proposed a way giving more validity to the out of body experience. It involves having a picture suspended from the ceiling facing the ceiling so none of the doctors or patient know what the picture is of. If the patient can describe the picture after the out of body experience try and explain that one.
Usually when you take in information it goes into your short term memory and your brain considers it something you are experiencing in that moment. If the brain deems it important enough it then sends the information to your long term memory for storage. When you experience deja vu your brain misfires and bypasses short term memory and goes straight into long term memory. Since you process it first from long term memory your brain sees it as a past memory instead of something you are experiencing in that moment. So basically it's your brain working backwards sending information from long term to short term memory instead of the other way around.
Deja vu - was already proven to be the work of the brain pulling a memory or group of memories related to the perceived event. Most significant even some traumatic events but some simple yet irrelevant events are possible triggers for this "feeling of familiarity". The feeling of familiar can occur when one or more memory/data are aligned to be "similar" or represent the current event. Simple: You saw a bus with certain specific colors moving to X direction... your brain does not only records this memory but also the background details etc. Thus when the same memory was triggered, thus it fires the "Feeling of familiarity". This occurs not only on events, things or places. It also occurs on meeting people. Have you ever experienced "I think I knew you somewhere"? Deja vu is one of the best aspects of implanted memories "in the future" as good or bad or even traumatic implanted memories can force/compel a person/organism/group of' to come up with a desired/expected reaction to such stimuli (in this case memory/data). The best example of which in this time planck is the movie “inception”. Placebo Effect - When all is good, when all is abundant, what else can humans have problems with? One of them is “Stress”. The body handles stress in many ways not only destructive but sometimes deadly. When a person is ill/sick or just basically any situation/stimuli that causes stress, the body degenerates. Production of stress hormones etc will cause damage to the body, thus causing the illness to get worsen. Mental torture is one of the most effective torture method of all time and most are “cured” by placebo medicine/methods. One of which is giving the “assurance” that the person/patient is “getting cured”. The Placebo Cure Methodology does not only require taking “medications” but a very effective way which was discovered in the future is by leveling up the so called methodology by involving a “Doctor” to the scene. This “doctor” will provide feedback to the person/patient that he/she is getting “better” thus giving a “good” stimulus, thus lowering stress, thus the body “regeneration rate” over taking the “degenerative” effects of stress or any so called “disease”/condition. Guess what… “Faith healers” are known to be the best “Placebo Doctors” *wink*… in the past and future ofc. Dancing Plague - “an idle/bored mind is the devils playground” and when everyone/most people around you dies, will you even fear death? Would you even care? Same events happened in the future after the wars, but ofc many events similar to this happened before. Certain colonies who experience a “disconnect” tend to go to the route of suicidal tendencies… one of “primitive human genome” faults. Voynich manuscript - so it’s still not decoded… please tell people to grab a compass and an automatic clock and move letters one by one with spaces paused at “one full circle” and you will be able to decode it. Oh and please don`t mind the pictures… they are there as a distraction… and start decoding at the back. Well that’s how I remembered it being decoded… and the content is not what you think it is. Big foot, loch ness, so called mystical/primitive species etc… doesn’t really matter… in the future it is “we” “humans” who decide who/which/what species will “live”… ofc many oppose to this, but when your crumbling stomach aches and the only “sustainable” way is to ELIMINATE “unproductive” and deemed “unnecessary” species… one if not the most disgusting human act that has ever occurred to so called “pre-colonizer humanity”. No worries though… as long as we have a “copy” of the specie DNA makeup, we can literally “resurrect/reanimate” them… a lot of which did in future colonies… some even go to these colonies just to see these so called “Primitive” animals/species… ofc some keep them as pets and pays a lot of credits hahaha mine is a dragon btw… not that fire breathing dragon though… it’s just a mixed DNA from an alligator + bat + other stuff… looks like a dragon… but can’t really fly… enough. Ghost - Energy creates Matter, Matter creates Energy. Proven and tested. Does it matter though? Yes… especially when that energy carries memories! Ever experience an “out of body experience”? What if, a person died and he/she knows his/her cause of death? Best way to solve a murder case is to… ask the dead. Literally… or just suck the eye balls out and grab the VRC at the back of his/her eyes. Unless his/her eyes are closed at the time of death…oh well… ESP or extra sensory perception - nothing more than a radiation/wave that is transferred/directed to one being to another. Best test subject are a mother and her daughter as they share the best mental wave compatibility. The study and experiments of the said subject helped, helps and will continue to prove “beneficial” especially to covert missions and explorations, deemed especially useful in exploration of new colonial sites. Now for you question… is it worth studying the “paranormal” and if you can get that money what would you do with it? Is it worth studying the “paranormal”? Not all of them. Some, few even, are. If you can get that money what would you do with it? Protecting the lives that matters. Especially this generations future explorers.
Can you answer in sometimes, I remember trpile or even quadruple dejavus. Double dejavu means that this happenned before and I thought it was dejavu. This is strange.
An interesting hypothesis for what the Moai may have meant is that they were chieftains or prominent figures, I can't recall all the details but I think its posited that they were some kind of memorial.
Trace, is there any scientific evidence for astral projections, or out of body experiences that people claim to have? Or any evidence that disproves them?

7:36 "People who believe they've seen Loch Ness." I'VE SEEN IT!!!!! It's a nice lake in Scotland, near where my Dad's friend used to live. You can look it up on google maps and then you, too, will have seen it.
Actually, when I have Deja Vu I just don't find it familiar, I actually REMEMBER it. When I was 6 I had a dream about something. then I started writing about it and telling my parents about it and then 10 minutes later it ACTUALLY happened? Is this Deja Vu?
I have deja vu associated with my partial seizures originating from the temporal lobe... My neurologist said that the most accepted cause is a miscommunication between the hypocampus and temporal lobe, one region recognising something of the situation and the other region not recognising that same thing.
I know that everyone on here has probably heard that several times but: Science doesn't has to disprove Nessie, for example, it has to be proved. Until it is not proved, it doesn't exist. But you don't need to know how it came to be - it just has to be there. But you need to be able to prove that. And the Scientific Method in itself is pretty useful for what it is intended to be for. Unless something isn't repeatable and all the little factors are known, you can't claim to know whats causing something, because it could be any of those factors.
I really liked your video and the topics are really interesting... i found myself speeding the video up but that's just me...i would love to see you use the space behind yourself to show some illustrations or pictures of the topics your discussing i'm easily distracted...i genially think if you done that you could land yourself on mainstream TV if you chose to.
I have kinda chilling story to tell. I my self are somewhat sceptical of visions of the future, but i experienced it the last 2 years way to often. It always goes like this: I'm dreaming, but im not aware of it, because it just feels like normal day. I only realise its a dream like a second before i wake up. When this happens its like the whole world crashes in shards, my brain crushes in shards my very being crashes into shards. Kinda fast then my dorm reconstruct and I'm back in "reallife". And as I progress that day when this happens, I notice everything goes the same way like in my dreams except some really minor changes. So I tried experimenting with it. Everytime somewhat negative or something i didn't like happened I tried implementing some changes for the better outcome of the day, but boy don't mess with fate, like its so often stated 'time wants to happen'. Everythiong i tried to change seemed changed in the moment, but it came back at me everytime, sometimes 1 week later, a couple weeks later or a couple months later. In the End the situation would occur or in some cases even severer. It's like i was giving my self some preparation time, but i never prepared. My hardest experience with this was when i got stabbed in the spleen. 3Months prior to this event I had one of my vivid dreams and i was in that dream out with my friends. Much alcohol was involved and in the dream it was a pretty damn hillarious evening, well untill in my dream i got stabbed and almost died. Strangely enough i could remember almost everything except who stabbed me. The special thing aboput this dream was, that i had experienced my full stay in the hospital, interactions with my room mate and all that stuff, normally these dreams were only for the next day. So when i woke up i decided i did not want to suffer this gruesome fate, but i was a little bit curious wether anything of this dream would happen on that day. So i proceded with my day as planned and everything in my dream happenend, up untill the point where we as a group wanted to go out drinking. At this point i decided, fuck this shit im out, this can't be real. 'Fuck you fate i take the train home" i thought to myself, made up some lame excuse to my friends why i couldn't come with them. I went home and everything was alright, i was relieved beyond your immagination, but little did i know what would happen 3 months from then. In these 3 Months i declared my dreams as nonesense and that i was a fool to believe in some kind of precognition. Then 14. of July, my Bell rang. At this point i wasn't even thinking any more about my Dreams. I took up the telefone system to find out who it was. Well it was a buddy of mine with which i had some beef for a while. Through the system he sounded very reasonable and like he wanted to talk things through. Gullible as i am i just opened the door for him. At this point i should mention at this time there was another buddy of mine with me in my dorm. I live in the 5th floor so naturally it takes longer for someone to get up. I went to the toilett and told my buddy to wait at the door. As i was of the toilett i heard a scream. I immediately jumped up and sprinted to the door. This fucking maniac was tottally hooked on cocaine, and as my buddy had opned the door, he got a full barrage of pepperspray. Then he tried to attack me barehanded, but since im trained in martial arts I had him pinned to the ground very fast. Im an overall very peacefull person and despise violence in almost every way. So when i had him pinned down I was asking "Dude what is wrong with, come the fuck down man" i shook him as i noticed a scrathing on my side. "This pussy really is scratching me?" i was laughing to myself. With all the adrenaline Pumping through my body at this moment i didn't even notice that this wasn't hisnails, but a knive he pulled out without me noticing it. So i shook him a last time "now calm finnally down" and he did. At first i thought, did it i clamed him down. So i stand up from above him and he stand up. I was noticing nothing at the moment. he began "Sorry" with tears in his eyes. I woundered what the hell what is he meaning. Then i could get a glimpse of the knife that he had held in his right hand, from which blood was dripping. He said again "Sorry" and looked at my left side. Well fuck now i noticed it myself, but still didn't feel any pain. Probably because of the adrenaline. So there is stood in my dorm with a punctured spleen. Out of instinct i grabbed a pillow and started putting pressure on the wound, because i saw this all the time in tv. Doesn#t help much when you are bleeding from inside, i can say in retroperspective, but maybe this really saved me. From their on everything went really really fast. My head was in this weird everything is utterly hillarious mode. As i was walking down the staircase to get to the elevator made jokes like "hahaha look this stupid idiot can't even stab me right, i told him for several months he should buy a new knife the blade is too short." Good he didn't listen to my advice back then. It wasn't like i was not aware of the severity of the wound, well in fact i was very aware of that I would probably die on the way to the hospital, due to the waiting time. But i wanted to die with dignity and a smile on my face. It is pretty common when people get stabbed in the spleen that they won't make it long. Iam a very happy one. As i woke up in the hospital, for the first time reallife shattered into shards and i could see right in front of mehow this shards of existence were forming back together, and hence begin the dream that i had 3months prior. I landed on the room as in my dream, with the same guy as in my dream as my roommate. Every conversation we had, i rembered in between that we had this conversation. everyperson that was at this time in the hospitas had also been in my dream. And one of the weirdest things of all was that my roommate was the 2. time in the hospital this year. The first time he was there was in the same exact room, but only with one bed empty. And guess when he was in the hospital the first time. On the exact same date as i had previously dreamed of. Time wants to happen. This kind of "precognition" that i have is no gift. It is more like torture. It gives me the feeling that i have 0 controll about what happens in my life. And this had lead me to qustion life, because this was gioing against everything i believed in. I was never religious, i always believed facts. Not some hokus pokus crap. I was a very pure realist. But now since i have these dreams i don't even know whats real anymore. Atleast i have become very open to fringe-science now. well thats a short story.
you can't just casually toss a statement like "the scientific method is flawed" without further elaboration, and then barrel into an implied accusation of censorship on TED's part... there are statistical shortcomings in most scientific studies, and the anthropic principle is always looming, which along with groupthink may threaten to throw undetected bias into methodology and approach. being "open-minded" here could simply mean being more critical in our thinking and question even some of the more established principles if there is room to grow our understanding.
I have a question. Do you think that paranormal things, entities etc are also part of physics, except that we haven't lets say revelutionized our way of thinking so that we CAN understand them?
P.R. Gaming of course, physics is science, and science is basically the study of the universe and everything in it, we've learnt about 0.000000001% (just a random percentage to give you a rough idea) of what there is to learn. there's room for a god in science, but because what science entails (evolution, the Big Bang etc) religious people and other spiritual people seem to think its science VS faith when really paranormal things such as ghosts and psychic powers can be explained and proven as fact by science, it's just that we have no real evidence to say that they exist yet, so it's more logical to believe that they don't exist and are explained by other phenomena that CAN explain it. in 500 years (if we last that long without nuking each other) our descendants will be laughing at our primitive understanding of the universe and in 500 years THEIR descendants will do the same to them, it's simply how progress works.
Lolz thats possible for our descendants to do, but thats one thing i dont like about science...... if you dont know anything about something, you shouldn't act like its not really there, but at the same time, you shouldnt indulge in everything.... because certain sectors in physics and science should be left unknown...... thats the rule of physics..... but Lycan, im glad to see other people interested in Physics at least as much as i am.... lolz.
Well think about the times you had dejavu but couldn’t stop trying to figure it out. Then eventually you realize that person you thought you’d met before was wearing the same perfume as you’re best friend was when u met her....or whatever example. Alternatively, you’re remembering a similar experience from one of ur past lives.
+MP420ful lol shit like this should not seem unnatural unless you're unnatural.. who tf has to learn to laugh or dance? god laughs and dances so his people do to. just some of these mfs ain't human.
“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” -Nikola Tesla
SIMUL4CR4 did he really say that? Wow
Agreed. Dyson's sentiment was the same as many other scientists I have read about. we may never know the really interesting things Tesla was onto.
He was referring to the electromagnetic force
SIMUL4CR4
that has nothing to do with t you dummy 😂
read the book
the un natural war
Smart he was; but also thought he received information telepathically from aliens.
You are the most logical and open minded person I have ever seen . The way you admit that science cannot understand each and everything and that it requires controlled conditions to work is so considerate of you.
The weirdest deja vu, or premonition maybe? that I ever experienced, was as a teenager. Sitting at home alone in the living room, drawing. A friend, Ryan, was over earlier, and forgot his hat. His mother's van pulls up in the driveway, Ryan get's out, comes to the door. Tells me he forgot his hat, can he go down stairs and get it. I said sure, let him run down stairs, and sat back down to draw.
After a few minutes, I noticed the van was gone, but I didn't see Ryan leave. So I went to the top of the stairs, called down to him. Nothing, no answer. So I go down into the basement. No one there. Okay, figured he left, and I didn't notice. Whatever.
So, back to drawing. A few moments later, Ryan's mother's van pulls into the driveway, and Ryan comes to the door. He tells me he forgot his hat, and asked if he could go down stairs and get it. I was a little stunned, and asked if he wasn't just there a not long ago. He tells me no. I let him go get his hat, this time went with him, and tell him about what just happened.
What the fuck? That experience is burned in my brain. It was the first time anything like that happened, and nothing like it has happened since.
+Swidhelm that's so weird and interesting
Tarudox I have never really come up with an explanation for it. I assume I was sleep deprived or something. Maybe a combination of that, and what normally causes deja vu? No idea, heh.
Swidhelm very intriguing indeed. Time shift? Alternate realty? Pre-conceived notion of you knowing his dilemma with his hat had given to your expectations of his aforementioned actions...most plausible. Interesting, none-the - less.
Dude glitch in the matrix much?

I actually have a friend who is a university mathematician studying metaphysics and the nature of the existence of things beyond what is generally scientifically accepted. Those fields seem almost unreconcilable to hear them spoken on alongside the other, and yet he feels he can definitively prove that the things about which we spend time debating the very existence of are in fact as real, if not more so, than our very flesh and blood. So it's a very interesting topic to me.
It's absolutely necessary for us to study the paranormal! Over man's entire history, he has been met with things that at first seemed "paranormal" or seemed like "magic". It was only when man put on his "thinking cap", that we began to pick things apart, delving into the realm of the unknown, in a bid to understand all of the incredible processes around him. Can u imagine giving Neanderthals one of our smartphones, or one of those INCREDIBLE massage chairs you'd be willing to refinance your house for? Neanderthals wouldn't have been capable of comprehending what they were looking at, let alone what it did or how to use it. And to us, they're such an integral and interwoven part of our daily lives, that we can't go back now. Point being, our phones would've appeared magical or paranormal to them. A final note, one of my most favorite quotes relating to all things paranormal is: "The absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence"
Trace, I simply refuse to ignore your fabulous face.

huh.............GAY!!!!!!!!!!!
+babul1986 Ohh fabulous babul! your words are so wise!
+babul1986 community reference ?
I don't think we can dismiss deja vu at all. It's quite the amazing experience. I've had Deja Vu where I actually remember the words people are about to say or a topic somebody will bring up.
Say I'm talking to a person and suddenly I feel deja vu, in my mind I'm recalling this conversation and in my head I'm predicting what the person is going to say word-for-word perfectly... Lucky guess? Maybe. However this has happened many times. I don't think it could be anything as simple as a misfiring neuron or some mental illness, especially when I'm correctly predicting words/topics.
I've even had dreams where I was watching movies that haven't even been released and I find myself predicting the next scene accurately when I finally do watch.
StoreBrand
I don't think these examples are standard deja-vu experiences, you may want to Google "clear seeing", "clear knowing" and/or "scientific descriptions of the psychic modalities"
Clearly symptoms of the potential for higher evolution leveling.
"Meditate" - release negative energy, negative learned info/opinions, and allow for soul consciousness to emerge. Embrace your "you" and All of your potentials.

perhaps us humans are capable of foresight, some more adept than others, but are all still unaware of how to control it
Good to know I’m not the only one that dreams about situations that didn’t happen yet but end up happening later on in real life...
That’s amazing. I wonder how you became that in tuned to that sense. That’s something that hasn’t developed for me.
Refusal to study something you don't understand is basically openly admitting you are ignorant and do not care about understanding things. We understand so very little of our reality, anyone who tells you otherwise is not doing so based on facts, logic, or reason. It should be our job as humans, scientist, and inhabitants of this universe to specifically seek out that which we do not understand and study it, even if fruitlessly. If we do no study the unknown, how do we expect to discover it?

+Throttle Kitty It's okay, the tv & news will inform us & take care of us.
+DrDeathAribertHeim lol
+Throttle Kitty Well, to most people it's the same as refusing to study unicorns or leprechauns. They think it's a waste of time, and I agree. Well, with most aspects of supernatural. Some would be easy to prove/disprove. And I mean true supernatural, not some of the stuff he talks about here where they do actually study.
cortster12 No, that is not an appropriate comparison at all. If there is no evidence of something's existence, and no one believe's it exists, it is clearly a waste of effort researching it. Anyone with proper comprehension skills should realize that.
I think the dancing plague was the discovery of ecstasy, lol.
He was right, this channel doesn't answer our question, it just leaves us with more questions
@yahya s5230 like "Why did I watch this video? I didn't even learn anything. I'm not even paying attention to it." Or _"What am I doing?"_ "Why are fish fish?" _Why can we sometimes see/remember something happening then later on said thing happends?"_ "Why am I asking so much questions?" _"How are words words?"_ Why are things things?" _"How are things things?"_ And many other questions.
@yahya s5230 that's pretty cool. And hopefully someone will reply.

If science wasn't limited by money I'm sure we would already have a long going research on these things...

Damn it, I need the scientists to prove ghosts exists, I know I'm not crazy. Well, maybe a little.
I've always been more interested in jamais vu, when you walk into a place you've been in hundreds of times and yet feel like you've never been there before in your life.
+wratched That's gonna be the next thing, and it sounds cool, freaky, and scary at the same time
+wratched Ooh I've never heard of that before
***** I just looked at the definition, it's also like when you look at a word for a long time and say it out loud for a while and it randomly looks unfamiliar to you
+Superficially Steph Because sometimes happens in places where you go regularly. For example you go to school everyday and one day you feel as you never been there.
+Máximo Sant De Barrondo That would be a good place to have a jamais vu.

Do they really know what it is? how can you build one? how many neurons do you need to create a consiousness??
Does anybody know that?
+Felhek Lehrian well, that blew my mind... or my consciousness?
This is a cool idea. There must be a study on this already
There are a lot of ideas, and very little truth. Try reading "The Origins of Consciousness in the Bicameral Mind." It may be a bit old, but it shows very well how little we know.

There is nothing that is undeserving of study.
+Hidden Thicket Would you support re-assigning researchers who are currently investigating ways to develop a vaccine against influenza to studying what ways we can best please Lord Chemosh? There are only a limited number of people, a smaller number of them capable of doing productive research, and a limited number of hours in their days. If things which have no evidence to support even the possibility of their existence are deserving of study, what method can we use to determine where we spend these limited resources? People are dying of influenza now, but clearly if we could please Lord Chemosh he could end world hunger. It seems like a difficult choice to make.
Dustin Rodriguez
I never said anything about reassigning anyone away from anything. Only that there is nothing undeserving of study. Some things are more deserving, but nothing is inherently undeserving. I suppose there is eventually a time to give up and study something else, though. Has Lord Chemosh ended world hunger despite our attempts to please him? No. That's why we largely moved along from that sort of thing and changed focus to agriculture and genetics instead.
Hidden Thicket You have to reassign people. There are only a limited number of researchers, and if everything is worthy of study, great swathes of things will be ignored as we concentrate on the things that have evidence to support them. As for Chemosh, we don't know much about him. According to the Christian Bible, he did repel the Israelites and their god when they were trying to invade a city he protected because the leader crushed his own sons head against a rock in sacrifice to him. We haven't studied what benefits we could get from trying to please him in millenia, so we have no way of knowing what benefits there might be. Studying agriculture is all well and good, but if studying Chemosh has value, as you say all things do, we should reassign some people or redirect some of the kids in college studying plant biology to studying Chemosh and other abandoned gods.
Sure, are you gonna fund it?
Also, Dustin, I get Hidden Thicket's point, you don't necessarily have to reassign researchers. But there simply are no funds to incentivise pointless woowoo research. Sponsor Loch Ness monster expeditions with $10 mil and there will be people willing to spend their time proving or disproving its existence (and no, you wouldn't have to reassign anyone trying to develop the next vaccine against influenza if they don't care about the Loch Ness monster).
I think deja vu is related to whatever makes someone else start humming a song you were thinking of. Something to do with frequencies we detect and aren't aware of that connect us Or that memory being stored immediately and remembered immediately. or both.
I legitimately believe it's a psychic ability. I've had déjà vu so often that my dreams, more often than not, are all déjà vu
you've got something there, there was a writer or songwriter who said he didn't write the song, he was fishing them out from other streams of ideas. which is why there are times we get certain ideas that seem to be similar from others but we've not seen their work. or have heard a song and you feel you've heard it before...
can also be like a transmission? and we somehow were able to glance the moment that was ahead of us? sort of like pseudo- time traveling.
Brandon Miller that would be pretty cool is so
Z Queen dream Javu is creepy to me. rarely happens but it's always something normal, like waking up in a bed I don't recognize with hats on the wall. then years later it happens
is it available on some other audio app?

First of all, this is definitely in my top five series you guys have done just because it's so clever, skirting the razor edge of the boundaries of science to peek at what else is out there through a scientific lens. Well done.
That being said, I think what's important to remember here is that science is a tool, and while it's an extremely powerful tool, a chainsaw works great as a chainsaw but not so great as a clamp. The objective world -- which is what science focuses on by definition -- is arguably the *primary* aspect of reality, but it's an extreme oversimplification to say that it's the only thing that makes up human experience.
For example, what purely objective motivation do we have to do science? Because things will get better? We're just one of an incomprehensible number of tiny dots in a vast expanse of nothingness with no clear purpose. What *is* "better" in an objective sense? Global warming? Nuclear fallout?
It doesn't matter if you believe that there isn't anything "else" out there independent of matter and the universe as we know it interacting with us. The "secondary" subjective experiences may or may not be based purely in hard matter, no pun intended but it doesn't *matter* because they're just as important to *us* as the things we can all agree are the same, and in a sense we *make* them real.
I think a deja Vu is just a brain error, where what you see and hear is directly written into memory, so you think this exact thing happened while it just gets written.
This is the most logical explanation that I just came up with.
Steve Johnson you were thinking that you knew it before it happened, as I said your brain stored that information while you're thinking.
A bit of a positive feedback loop.
Nobody can really know what happens in the future, even if it feels like that, senses are not the best way to experience reality, but they aren't the worst either.
Steve Johnson what's supernatural in this exact setting?
I can tell you that your brain missfired signals, most likely because you have been frightened of dropping her, I can't know that.
But that would be a reason to create that effect of writing the memory while experiencing a moment. (thinking about it is equal to experiencing)
I don't expect anyone to understand that phenomenon, but that's the most logical explanation.
Also I didn't want to attack you with missfired signals, that's natural, it happens to most of humanity at some point.
Friendly? ;D
Steve Johnson how do you want to know if you had a dream about it after that deja Vu moment?
What makes you believe something "supernatural" happened?
Sorry to disappoint you, in reality is nothing, absolutely nothing supernatural, only our minds can trick us into believing that.
I tested my deja Vu theory on some friends, and asked them to describe their experience and I came to this conclusion too.
Actually I came to this theory while studying my last deja Vu, it was very recent back then, I tracked that feeling back to a part of my brain, where memory is written, that experience started by positive feedback loop and then corrupts the memory writing and accessing ability.
Since then I haven't had a deja Vu moment anymore, normally I had such an experience about every month.
I think by tracking this signal back by forcing this experience I either disconnected that process or just made it stable, only time will tell, if I won't get this deja Vu moment again I know for sure that I "cured" it for myself... I really don't hope so, because that experience is kinda fun sometimes and it feels weird.
Hey Trace, awesome show. Very interesting topics and your unique analysis and wit is really good. New subscriber. Rock on
I yawned when he mentioned yawning.

or did it ever go public?
Its true about the placebo effect. Ive stopped smoking a few while back. But whenever i feel stressed or full of anxiety. I close my eyes, breath in a pattern of smoking and i instantly feel calm as what people who smoke feel.

+David Moro he's quoting Bill O'Riley
first off that's racist, second i'm white, third of all if you think how the tides go in and out cannot be explained then you are a dumb fuck not me.
+David Moro He was making a joke, dude. It's an old Bill O'Reily quote made while Bill was trying to discredit science.
I feel like many paranormal phenomenon are actually within the realm of science, but at a level that we do not understand yet. I mean have you ever been talking to a friend or family member and you think the same thing or say the same thing. Or have you ever just knew a family member was in trouble? I think all of it is explainable, with the right amount of legitimate research, and the advancement of technology.
'Science can't even explain yawning' ... I yawned within seconds after hearing that
This was pretty interesting. Great episode.
I only remember a few experiences of esp like things.
I recall being able to tell if a friend of mine was emotionally stressed, who lived over two thousand miles away. I had gone a few weeks of little contact because she was busy with drama class. I called her and she was ether sick or quite sad. Of course I attribute this to my faith, with the spirit and all that. (I'm one of those Mormon boys)
The other time in middle school, was a dream I had of math class, taking down notes. The school i was going to at the time had a block schedule, so odd period classes one day, even on the other. So I come into class, and I realize I had already learned it, with a deja vu feel to it. I was going to ask if we had already learned it yesterday, but I remembered the schedule, and tried to think back to what i had done before first learning it, but I had no memory of even entering the class in that memory.
Paranormal, magic, supernatural, means not "strange" or "not understood", but "impossible".
In the PLOS One IBS placebo study, the report says the placebo pills were administered with the description that even though they were placebo, they had been shown to help IBS symptoms in clinical studies. That claim would be enough to trigger the placebo affect. They should have administered the placebo with no indication that it would help. For a fair test, they should have just told them they were getting a placebo, and then defined what a placebo is, not what the placebo has been shown to do. I'll bet if you did the same test but described the placebo as having no measurable effect... they would have gotten a very different result. The power of suggestion is... powerful. Also would have been nice to see a slightly larger test group.
The power of the mind should never be underestimated.
this video feels so familiar
basically dead true i just had Deja Vu about this video, the irony 😂
I always thought that deja vu was when your brain mistakenly wrote the experience to your long term and short term memory banks at the same time.
"some argue that that's happened again, it's called coachella"
😹😹😹
+Adi Malhotra i actually laughed out loud at that one. Good job, Trace!
love how trace said "aliens" while making the hand gestures XD
I would love someone to explain an experience I had 43 years ago. While having a deja vu moment in class, my mind went forward and for a few minutes I clearly saw (as if looking at a re-run), what was about to happen. I told a class mate at the time what the teacher would do and everything occurred exactly as I fore saw. I soooo wish i could enter this state on demand.
I heard of these egyptian emerald tablets tht defied physics.Is this true?i cant find any info tht says so and there is very little coverage on this.
The Easter Island Heads are actually 70 foot tall statues that weigh tons. They are being studied right now but don't know why they were partially buried.
love these videos man
I legit always get deja vu. Pretty crazy stuff, people will say or do something and it's like I've seen it before.
It's crazy when you talk about IBS and the placebo pill, I feel IBS is affect by stress and for me it's something that happens overnight and it's the worst in the morning and fades throughout the day. So i'd guess it's deffinetly affecting the subconsious
the irony that I yawned literally right before he said yawning...
Everything is worth studying. It's up to the researcher to keep pushing the boundary of the unknown as far as it can go, and then figure out how to go a little bit further.
I'm a devout atheist but I believe ESP is possible this way, emotional ESP, animals know when you're frightened, I live in the woods, they also know when you're not, they seem to also know when you're happy, and possibly whales have visited me because I was eager to see them, a personal accidental study, maybe ten out of thirteen attempts, they came! Best sightings ever!
There is something to understand a "paranormal" phenomenon: most of the time, it relies on some form of "cheating": guessing something using clues you're not supposed to have, relying on people's reaction to know what they are thinking (cold reading and mentalism), using a clever trick (that's the job of magicians), etc. For example the Loch Ness monster and big foot are human creations: people have admitted creating them, but that did not stop the believers. It is also possible to trace back the story of the UFO's and the guy that made the first "photos" of UFO's using pots and pans. So of course, don't dismiss too quickly claims that contradict your beliefs, but in the explanations, don't forget to consider the social elements: humans fabricate stories and there is business in deceiving other people, or even ourselves.
I really love this new layout, but I think it would be cool if there were some pictures

I've experienced de ja vu many times it used to drive me insane but now when it happens I try to embrace it for i usually go thru de Ja va for multiple hours
It makes sense that ibs could be helped with placebos. The diseases is greatly influenced by emotions and is very inconsistent. Any small comfort can influence it's inconsistent symptoms. I had a job I hated and I would get sick every day before work. After calling in I would feel a little better.
Ive saw Loch Ness... just never saw any monster :) ... Great channel by the way, loving it :)
Moai "heads" actually have bodies. One easy technique to make them move is with ropes, they attached the rope around the shoulders of the statue and by pulling on each sides, at an interval, they could make the statue "walk".
People with epilepsy sometimes experience deja vu or jamais vu when they have simple partial seizures and right before a generalized seizure. I personally experience Jamais Vu quite frequently and it has been linked to epileptiform activity in my brain.
Déjà vu is a warning for the imminent seizure disorder.
It's happened to me to think about something, stop thinking about it for some seconds and when I think about it again it feels like deja vu. So I kinda agree with the hypothesis of it being a connection that goes broken (to a memory) and re-established so it feels like the first time the second time you experience but you think you kinda experienced it before (because you just did).
Can you do a series about the maker movement and DIY and makerspaces and people with hobbies? I'm part of a makerspace called Fubarlabs and I would be glad to help and give information for the series.
what was the name of that book, I'd like to look it up, I'm curious about it.
Let's start a Kickstarter campaign to prove the existence of Loch Ness with a team of scientists!
+Jesper Forsberg I'm pretty sure nobody ever denied the existance of the lake
+RodrigoWaxen ha-ha very funny
There is a documentary on the Moai and they reconstructed how they made them and moved them. It would be awesome to think it was some great mystery and such, but they were able to move them by using ropes and rocking them back and forth... thus walking them to their spots. Took a while to do it, but they were able to do it fairly easily. Kinda took the magic out of it, but it's still pretty cool ;)
Some scientists have proposed a way giving more validity to the out of body experience. It involves having a picture suspended from the ceiling facing the ceiling so none of the doctors or patient know what the picture is of.
If the patient can describe the picture after the out of body experience try and explain that one.
Usually when you take in information it goes into your short term memory and your brain considers it something you are experiencing in that moment. If the brain deems it important enough it then sends the information to your long term memory for storage. When you experience deja vu your brain misfires and bypasses short term memory and goes straight into long term memory. Since you process it first from long term memory your brain sees it as a past memory instead of something you are experiencing in that moment. So basically it's your brain working backwards sending information from long term to short term memory instead of the other way around.
+Alaskaguyd why doesn't happen all the time? everyday? at least 1 per month?
That's why it's called a misfire. If it happened all the time it would be called "the way your brain works".
Deja vu - was already proven to be the work of the brain pulling a memory or group of memories related to the perceived event. Most significant even some traumatic events but some simple yet irrelevant events are possible triggers for this "feeling of familiarity". The feeling of familiar can occur when one or more memory/data are aligned to be "similar" or represent the current event. Simple: You saw a bus with certain specific colors moving to X direction... your brain does not only records this memory but also the background details etc. Thus when the same memory was triggered, thus it fires the "Feeling of familiarity". This occurs not only on events, things or places. It also occurs on meeting people. Have you ever experienced "I think I knew you somewhere"? Deja vu is one of the best aspects of implanted memories "in the future" as good or bad or even traumatic implanted memories can force/compel a person/organism/group of' to come up with a desired/expected reaction to such stimuli (in this case memory/data). The best example of which in this time planck is the movie “inception”.
Placebo Effect - When all is good, when all is abundant, what else can humans have problems with? One of them is “Stress”. The body handles stress in many ways not only destructive but sometimes deadly. When a person is ill/sick or just basically any situation/stimuli that causes stress, the body degenerates. Production of stress hormones etc will cause damage to the body, thus causing the illness to get worsen. Mental torture is one of the most effective torture method of all time and most are “cured” by placebo medicine/methods. One of which is giving the “assurance” that the person/patient is “getting cured”. The Placebo Cure Methodology does not only require taking “medications” but a very effective way which was discovered in the future is by leveling up the so called methodology by involving a “Doctor” to the scene. This “doctor” will provide feedback to the person/patient that he/she is getting “better” thus giving a “good” stimulus, thus lowering stress, thus the body “regeneration rate” over taking the “degenerative” effects of stress or any so called “disease”/condition. Guess what… “Faith healers” are known to be the best “Placebo Doctors” *wink*… in the past and future ofc.
Dancing Plague - “an idle/bored mind is the devils playground” and when everyone/most people around you dies, will you even fear death? Would you even care? Same events happened in the future after the wars, but ofc many events similar to this happened before. Certain colonies who experience a “disconnect” tend to go to the route of suicidal tendencies… one of “primitive human genome” faults.
Voynich manuscript - so it’s still not decoded… please tell people to grab a compass and an automatic clock and move letters one by one with spaces paused at “one full circle” and you will be able to decode it. Oh and please don`t mind the pictures… they are there as a distraction… and start decoding at the back. Well that’s how I remembered it being decoded… and the content is not what you think it is.
Big foot, loch ness, so called mystical/primitive species etc… doesn’t really matter… in the future it is “we” “humans” who decide who/which/what species will “live”… ofc many oppose to this, but when your crumbling stomach aches and the only “sustainable” way is to ELIMINATE “unproductive” and deemed “unnecessary” species… one if not the most disgusting human act that has ever occurred to so called “pre-colonizer humanity”. No worries though… as long as we have a “copy” of the specie DNA makeup, we can literally “resurrect/reanimate” them… a lot of which did in future colonies… some even go to these colonies just to see these so called “Primitive” animals/species… ofc some keep them as pets and pays a lot of credits hahaha mine is a dragon btw… not that fire breathing dragon though… it’s just a mixed DNA from an alligator + bat + other stuff… looks like a dragon… but can’t really fly… enough.
Ghost - Energy creates Matter, Matter creates Energy. Proven and tested. Does it matter though? Yes… especially when that energy carries memories! Ever experience an “out of body experience”? What if, a person died and he/she knows his/her cause of death? Best way to solve a murder case is to… ask the dead. Literally… or just suck the eye balls out and grab the VRC at the back of his/her eyes. Unless his/her eyes are closed at the time of death…oh well…
ESP or extra sensory perception - nothing more than a radiation/wave that is transferred/directed to one being to another. Best test subject are a mother and her daughter as they share the best mental wave compatibility. The study and experiments of the said subject helped, helps and will continue to prove “beneficial” especially to covert missions and explorations, deemed especially useful in exploration of new colonial sites.
Now for you question… is it worth studying the “paranormal” and if you can get that money what would you do with it?
Is it worth studying the “paranormal”? Not all of them. Some, few even, are.
If you can get that money what would you do with it? Protecting the lives that matters. Especially this generations future explorers.
Can you answer in sometimes, I remember trpile or even quadruple dejavus. Double dejavu means that this happenned before and I thought it was dejavu. This is strange.
Claiming "paranormal" is not possible is like blind man saying ball is not round.
Even Von "Hotelier" did concede that they can be walked by humans; the statutes.
Perhaps our brain performs operations at the quantum level that has yet to be uncovered.
An interesting hypothesis for what the Moai may have meant is that they were chieftains or prominent figures, I can't recall all the details but I think its posited that they were some kind of memorial.
I thought yawning ( 8:44 ) was to get more oxygen to stay more alert in case anything happens until you can find a safe spot to sleep :o
The Heads at the Easter Island are not only heads - they're entire bodies that are inside the earth. Archeologists found that last year, btw.
Trace, is there any scientific evidence for astral projections, or out of body experiences that people claim to have? Or any evidence that disproves them?

7:36 "People who believe they've seen Loch Ness." I'VE SEEN IT!!!!!
It's a nice lake in Scotland, near where my Dad's friend used to live. You can look it up on google maps and then you, too, will have seen it.
love how you immediately moved on from the cochella joke
Actually, when I have Deja Vu I just don't find it familiar, I actually REMEMBER it.
When I was 6 I had a dream about something. then I started writing about it and telling my parents about it and then 10 minutes later it ACTUALLY happened?
Is this Deja Vu?
I have deja vu associated with my partial seizures originating from the temporal lobe... My neurologist said that the most accepted cause is a miscommunication between the hypocampus and temporal lobe, one region recognising something of the situation and the other region not recognising that same thing.
I know that everyone on here has probably heard that several times but: Science doesn't has to disprove Nessie, for example, it has to be proved. Until it is not proved, it doesn't exist. But you don't need to know how it came to be - it just has to be there. But you need to be able to prove that. And the Scientific Method in itself is pretty useful for what it is intended to be for. Unless something isn't repeatable and all the little factors are known, you can't claim to know whats causing something, because it could be any of those factors.
I really liked your video and the topics are really interesting... i found myself speeding the video up but that's just me...i would love to see you use the space behind yourself to show some illustrations or pictures of the topics your discussing i'm easily distracted...i genially think if you done that you could land yourself on mainstream TV if you chose to.
I have kinda chilling story to tell. I my self are somewhat sceptical of visions of the future, but i experienced it the last 2 years way to often. It always goes like this: I'm dreaming, but im not aware of it, because it just feels like normal day. I only realise its a dream like a second before i wake up. When this happens its like the whole world crashes in shards, my brain crushes in shards my very being crashes into shards. Kinda fast then my dorm reconstruct and I'm back in "reallife". And as I progress that day when this happens, I notice everything goes the same way like in my dreams except some really minor changes. So I tried experimenting with it. Everytime somewhat negative or something i didn't like happened I tried implementing some changes for the better outcome of the day, but boy don't mess with fate, like its so often stated 'time wants to happen'. Everythiong i tried to change seemed changed in the moment, but it came back at me everytime, sometimes 1 week later, a couple weeks later or a couple months later. In the End the situation would occur or in some cases even severer. It's like i was giving my self some preparation time, but i never prepared. My hardest experience with this was when i got stabbed in the spleen. 3Months prior to this event I had one of my vivid dreams and i was in that dream out with my friends. Much alcohol was involved and in the dream it was a pretty damn hillarious evening, well untill in my dream i got stabbed and almost died. Strangely enough i could remember almost everything except who stabbed me. The special thing aboput this dream was, that i had experienced my full stay in the hospital, interactions with my room mate and all that stuff, normally these dreams were only for the next day. So when i woke up i decided i did not want to suffer this gruesome fate, but i was a little bit curious wether anything of this dream would happen on that day. So i proceded with my day as planned and everything in my dream happenend, up untill the point where we as a group wanted to go out drinking. At this point i decided, fuck this shit im out, this can't be real. 'Fuck you fate i take the train home" i thought to myself, made up some lame excuse to my friends why i couldn't come with them. I went home and everything was alright, i was relieved beyond your immagination, but little did i know what would happen 3 months from then. In these 3 Months i declared my dreams as nonesense and that i was a fool to believe in some kind of precognition. Then 14. of July, my Bell rang. At this point i wasn't even thinking any more about my Dreams. I took up the telefone system to find out who it was. Well it was a buddy of mine with which i had some beef for a while. Through the system he sounded very reasonable and like he wanted to talk things through. Gullible as i am i just opened the door for him. At this point i should mention at this time there was another buddy of mine with me in my dorm. I live in the 5th floor so naturally it takes longer for someone to get up. I went to the toilett and told my buddy to wait at the door. As i was of the toilett i heard a scream. I immediately jumped up and sprinted to the door. This fucking maniac was tottally hooked on cocaine, and as my buddy had opned the door, he got a full barrage of pepperspray. Then he tried to attack me barehanded, but since im trained in martial arts I had him pinned to the ground very fast. Im an overall very peacefull person and despise violence in almost every way. So when i had him pinned down I was asking "Dude what is wrong with, come the fuck down man" i shook him as i noticed a scrathing on my side. "This pussy really is scratching me?" i was laughing to myself. With all the adrenaline Pumping through my body at this moment i didn't even notice that this wasn't hisnails, but a knive he pulled out without me noticing it. So i shook him a last time "now calm finnally down" and he did. At first i thought, did it i clamed him down. So i stand up from above him and he stand up. I was noticing nothing at the moment. he began "Sorry" with tears in his eyes. I woundered what the hell what is he meaning. Then i could get a glimpse of the knife that he had held in his right hand, from which blood was dripping. He said again "Sorry" and looked at my left side. Well fuck now i noticed it myself, but still didn't feel any pain. Probably because of the adrenaline. So there is stood in my dorm with a punctured spleen. Out of instinct i grabbed a pillow and started putting pressure on the wound, because i saw this all the time in tv. Doesn#t help much when you are bleeding from inside, i can say in retroperspective, but maybe this really saved me. From their on everything went really really fast. My head was in this weird everything is utterly hillarious mode. As i was walking down the staircase to get to the elevator made jokes like "hahaha look this stupid idiot can't even stab me right, i told him for several months he should buy a new knife the blade is too short." Good he didn't listen to my advice back then. It wasn't like i was not aware of the severity of the wound, well in fact i was very aware of that I would probably die on the way to the hospital, due to the waiting time. But i wanted to die with dignity and a smile on my face. It is pretty common when people get stabbed in the spleen that they won't make it long. Iam a very happy one.
As i woke up in the hospital, for the first time reallife shattered into shards and i could see right in front of mehow this shards of existence were forming back together, and hence begin the dream that i had 3months prior. I landed on the room as in my dream, with the same guy as in my dream as my roommate. Every conversation we had, i rembered in between that we had this conversation. everyperson that was at this time in the hospitas had also been in my dream. And one of the weirdest things of all was that my roommate was the 2. time in the hospital this year. The first time he was there was in the same exact room, but only with one bed empty. And guess when he was in the hospital the first time. On the exact same date as i had previously dreamed of. Time wants to happen. This kind of "precognition" that i have is no gift. It is more like torture. It gives me the feeling that i have 0 controll about what happens in my life. And this had lead me to qustion life, because this was gioing against everything i believed in. I was never religious, i always believed facts. Not some hokus pokus crap. I was a very pure realist. But now since i have these dreams i don't even know whats real anymore. Atleast i have become very open to fringe-science now.
well thats a short story.
The paranormal is only worth studying if you built a team of scientists, from all around the world, dedicated to doing just that .
I was hoping you would mention Rupert sheldrake. I was very interested in what he had to say
you can't just casually toss a statement like "the scientific method is flawed" without further elaboration, and then barrel into an implied accusation of censorship on TED's part...
there are statistical shortcomings in most scientific studies, and the anthropic principle is always looming, which along with groupthink may threaten to throw undetected bias into methodology and approach.
being "open-minded" here could simply mean being more critical in our thinking and question even some of the more established principles if there is room to grow our understanding.
my subscription has become successful, enjoyable video like always!
One thing that wasn't mentioned is how human thoughts can influence random number generators.
I did my extended project on the placebo effect! It's so interesting 😄
I have a question. Do you think that paranormal things, entities etc are also part of physics, except that we haven't lets say revelutionized our way of thinking so that we CAN understand them?
P.R. Gaming of course, physics is science, and science is basically the study of the universe and everything in it, we've learnt about 0.000000001% (just a random percentage to give you a rough idea) of what there is to learn.
there's room for a god in science, but because what science entails (evolution, the Big Bang etc) religious people and other spiritual people seem to think its science VS faith when really paranormal things such as ghosts and psychic powers can be explained and proven as fact by science, it's just that we have no real evidence to say that they exist yet, so it's more logical to believe that they don't exist and are explained by other phenomena
that CAN explain it.
in 500 years (if we last that long without nuking each other) our descendants will be laughing at our primitive understanding of the universe and in 500 years THEIR descendants will do the same to them, it's simply how progress works.
Lolz thats possible for our descendants to do, but thats one thing i dont like about science...... if you dont know anything about something, you shouldn't act like its not really there, but at the same time, you shouldnt indulge in everything.... because certain sectors in physics and science should be left unknown...... thats the rule of physics..... but Lycan, im glad to see other people interested in Physics at least as much as i am.... lolz.
My brother sometimes dreams of what is going to happen the next day and only remembers he dreamed it when it happens
I like the way you talk, didnt at the beginning, but you made me stay all the way to the end, a feat.
Wi-Fi was made by aliens and Donald Trump is a orange alien.
Well think about the times you had dejavu but couldn’t stop trying to figure it out. Then eventually you realize that person you thought you’d met before was wearing the same perfume as you’re best friend was when u met her....or whatever example. Alternatively, you’re remembering a similar experience from one of ur past lives.
I had Deja vu that I’d end this early and I did wow it is strange!
wierd; I was yawning right before he said "scientists can't explain yawning"
Listen bro I can't get this podcast on iTunes😞
+Akhil Menon We're adding the last few episodes this week! Check back shortly!
+DNews Plus I love ur show
+DNews Plus I read not too long ago that laughing was spread around like the dancing n Africa, check it out.
+DNews Plus Ok😊
+MP420ful lol shit like this should not seem unnatural unless you're unnatural.. who tf has to learn to laugh or dance? god laughs and dances so his people do to. just some of these mfs ain't human.
There is a good theory on how the Rapanui moved the mo'ai. They "walked" the statues.
