AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a theory on déjà vu presented by a user, which includes complex mathematical elements that some participants find problematic. Critics argue that the theory violates principles of causality and lacks scientific grounding, suggesting that déjà vu is difficult to define and may simply stem from memory issues. Additionally, there is a warning about the forum's rules against personal theories, indicating that such speculative ideas are not permitted in the context of established scientific discourse. Overall, the conversation highlights skepticism regarding the validity of the proposed theory and emphasizes the need for adherence to scientific standards.

Hi,

I came up with a theory regarding Deja Vu last summer. Would be interested to hear what your opinions are about it. Please disregard the square root symbols, for some reason they seemed important when I wrote it, so I included them.

I'm pretty certain that you violate causality somewhere there. Nul points.
 
This would have been seen in other (more controlled) experiments and everyday life.
 
? why do we have to square root everything in the equation itself?
 
first of all, it is difficult to define a deja vu, let alone work it out scientifically. Besides, it could be attributed to bad memory.

Unfortunately, whatever you're saying doesn't have any physical interpretation, so it ain't physics.

You may have a bright future in quantum woo though. Like Nobel laureate Brian Josephson.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
