an echo or reverb but of the cognitive kind. A bioelectric loop if you will.

Everything we know about the external world right now - the sounds, the sights, the feelings - are all being delayed. Everything that you think is happening right now actually happened already, about half a second ago!
So how is this possible? How do we drive cars, catch baseballs, swat flies and write or draw if it's all delayed? Well, the obvious answer is that we have adapted the ability to compensate for the delay by projecting our behavior into the future, which is really "now."

In your universe you will live forever, become an anomoly, a god amongst men. All of those you know and even those you argued with here on ATS will die off and won't even be a memory. You, however, will never die, and become a living idol of a galaxy spanning civilization. I type this message in my universe, and you recieve it in yours. From your perspective I will die one day, but you shall not.
However, from my perspective all of you will be the memory.
Ever have deja vu? That's your universe being reprogrammed to artifically extend your life beyond the catastrophy that was meant to happen to you. In another universe, one you in fact branched off of, you died, and maybe I watched it happen.
Prove me wrong.
This has been my nonsensical post of the month. Please don't argue with me because I'm not going to defend this insanity. It's just something I thought of at this very moment when reading this parallel universes stuff and figured it sounded interesting enough to post. I'm pretty sure I originally theorized something like this when I was ten, especially the deja vu part.
Anyway, I'm going to bed, peace and chicken grease
According to quantum mechanics, nothing at the subatomic scale can really be said to exist until it is observed. Until then, particles occupy nebulous "superposition" states, in which they can have simultaneous "up" and "down" spins, or appear to be in different places at the same time.
Your Mind is a Quantum Engine—Are You Ready to Fire It Up?
The art of "applied quantum physics" is learning how to harness the power of consciousness as we move through space and time. At the heart of quantum theory lies an astonishing (and scientifically proven) truth: that the very act of observing events in your life can alter their outcome. Our minds may not be just along for the ride in an impersonal universe, suggests Dr. Wolf. Instead, we can define the fabric of reality at a fundamental level with the choices we make, the things we choose to see or not see, and most importantly, our intentions in each moment.

In a quantum universe everything exists at the same time, as there is no past, present or future, including time, as they are all illusions. Everything that is and will be has already been calculated in the quantum universe. Basically what I'm trying to say is that every possible situation has already been worked out and our consciousness creates the illusion of reality and also dictates what path we take.

Welcome to ATS Tech Savvy. Hope your stay here is both fun and entertaining.
Good theory, You might possibly be right. I was having a discussion on a similar topic on another forum and more or less said the same thing.

To me this obviously implies that this reality and all the others are basically running on a super quantum computer. Basically it's a simulation. Who knows what the truth might be.

I've read on this time and time again, always amazing no matter how I think of it. One thing I was never clear on though, does every single tiny action split off or only major collective actions? ....

Not to everyone. (Certainly not to me.)
The point of this post being: you (or I, or anyone, of course) shouldn't generalise about our own feelings and concept scopes. Ever.
