Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the participant's inquiry about how to confirm a personal theory regarding déjà vu, exploring its classification within scientific disciplines such as physics or neuroscience. The conversation touches on concerns about intellectual property and the appropriate context for discussing personal theories.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses fear of having their theory on déjà vu stolen if shared on the forum.
  • Another participant advises reviewing posting rules, indicating that personal theories may not be well-received and could lead to thread removal.
  • A participant argues that déjà vu does not fit into physics, suggesting it is primarily a psychological phenomenon, unless linked to biological processes.
  • There is confusion among participants regarding the appropriate scientific category for déjà vu, with questions raised about its classification in physics versus neuroscience.
  • One participant reiterates their concerns about trust and the potential for their ideas to be misappropriated, indicating a sense of déjà vu regarding the discussion itself.
  • A later reply encourages the participant to seek peer-reviewed sources for scientific discussion and to ask specific questions based on credible material.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the classification of déjà vu, with differing views on its relevance to physics versus neuroscience. Concerns about sharing personal theories remain unresolved, and the discussion reflects a mix of apprehension and clarification about the forum's guidelines.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about the classification of déjà vu and the implications of sharing personal theories. There is a noted dependence on the definitions of scientific categories and the validity of sources for discussion.

Please review the posting rules, paying particular attention to the part about personal theories and speculation.

It is highly likely that this thread will disappear with little or no warning. In addition, concern that personal theories about things such as deja vu will be stolen and used by others are generally misplaced. When expressed, such concerns are sometimes regarded as negative indicia. See, for example, http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/crackpot.html

Honestly your topic doesn't fit into any physics category. De'ja vu is a psychological occurrence, unless you are referring to biochemical processes which falls under biology or medical sciences.

Welcome to the PF.

jbriggs has given you some good advice -- please be sure to read the links he's provided to you.

Also, keep in mind that the PF is a mainstream scientific website. We discuss mainstream science as presented in peer-reviewed scientific journals and standard textbooks. If you find material in those sources that discusses the deja vu topic, you can link to those sources and ask specific questions about that material. We do not accept the popular press, blogs, etc., as valid sources for scientific discussion here.

The thread is closed.

Here is a starting point for your reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deja_vu

Please also follow the references and links out of that article to find more information and reading. As I said, it you have specific questions about that reading (scientific questions, not philosophical ones), please start a new thread in the appropriate forum here with your specific questions. :smile:
