The precognitive brain seems to have a voracious appetite for thoughts and emotions about survival and close calls of one sort or another.

Israeli physicist named Yakir Aharonov basically agreed with Einstein about God not playing dice, and he proposed that the future is the hidden variable underlying quantum strangeness. Individual particles, such as those photons passing through the slits of the double-slit experiment, are actually influenced by what will happen to them next (i.e.,

is a delayed-choice version of the double-slit experiment in which the experimenters seem able to dictate what happens it the past by erasing (versus not erasing) quantum information in the present.

Anyone who didn’t allow dogs in her house had something wrong with her.

It was like something that had been foretold, something out of Aesop, both metaphorical and hysterical, like everything, I guess.

We precognize our highly biased hindsight, taking us deep into a kind of recursive or fractal, M. C. Escher territory.

unlike memory for past experiences, we have no context for recognizing information from our future, let alone interpreting or evaluating it, and thus will seldom even notice its existence. We would also have little ability to directly search our memory for things future, the way we can rummage in our mental attic for information we know we acquired

And on the other track, moving in the opposite direction, was a new reality, one I had never considered. On this track inexplicable things appeared, impossible things, ones that terrified me. One

J. B. Priestley, in a 1964 book on precognition and related questions called Man & Time, acknowledges that we cannot help but be biased in one direction or the other: “either we want life to be tidy, clear, fully understood, contained within definite limits, or we long for it to seem larger, wilder, stranger. Faced with some odd incident, eithe
