The Official UFO, Conspiracy Theories and Supernatural Thread

[Kyle]

The most popular one that know of has been debunked.

Might be thinking of that one primarily, but pretty sure there are a lot outside of that one I think.

I'm positive some form of 'time travel' exists. That's how I see things before they happen and have weird flashbacks of previous events I did not attend.

Just make sure you don't give someone a seizure and make them brain damaged for the rest of their life.

Yeah, that's one of them. Also thinking of the old woman with a cell phone. Among others I've seen over the years.

Here's a hilarious look at time traveling celebrities (obviously not real): http://www.strangerdimensions.com/2013/05/23/top-5-celebrity-time-travelers/

oh... so you think 'Roose Bolton' was an accident?

Those other ones I just see a general likeness. But holy hell does that look exactly like Jay-z.

I think, although this will scare some people to consider - that the world is in large part deterministic. Free will to a degree, but largely pre-determined. Everyone has a destiny and a path, but at certain times a person can veer off of that path, act against it, or hide from it to a degree (an example would be someone staying in their apartment, not venturing out into the world - basically hiding from life itself). Basically largely deterministic, which explains psychic perceptions (which I think everyone experiences deja vu, which is the most common form of it, which goes beyond just a place but going somewhere for the first time, meeting those people for the first time and yet it's all familiar - like you lived this exact moment impossibly before - like you're seeing into the future, which is only really possible if the future is already set), but also free will to a degree enough that you can deter, if even momentarily, away from the road you've been placed on. The two working in tandem, but largely the world as a whole deterministic.

'Knowing' dives somewhat into it, evidently from one of the comments muddles part of the theory though, here's a clip from that film:



Only clip that I know that dives into determinism that isn't a documentary and etc.

 

[Golgo-13]

Yeah I guess so and in a similar vein I've always thought we'd never know if someone changed history because that'd just be our history. Like for all we know history has been changed for better or worse already, possibly many times over. But then in that case what happens to the people who changed things because they'd change their original timeline and wouldn't have to go back to change anything in the first place. Maybe in the new timeline they weren't even born.

Yeah, I've contemplated that too. Large events like 9/11 could have occurred because of some change some time traveler made, whereas it never occurred in the original time line, etc......

This is a paradox. You can not go against your fate, because going against your fate would then be your fate. It's a logical problem.

Also, déjà vu has several possible explanations dependent on the situation. It's not some mystical thing. Do you know why some strangers may feel familiar to you? Because you've met people like them before. If you've been in the world long enough (let's say, until adulthood) you start to notice certain templates. Certain facial structures that are largely repeated throughout the country you live in. Again, nothing mystical about it, just your brain mapping information.

 

[Greens]

What do you guys seriously think about the sidhe?

Interesting mythology, I guess?

 

[Reek]

Yes yes quid pro quo.

 

[Naked Shia]

carthesians like Greens are so boring in such a thread. "no, it doesn't exist, it wasn't a ghost, it was just your imagination".

I can put a horse face on my head while still being able to tell if a ghost is real or not Mister.

I hope the ghost in your house clogs up the toilet.

Well the second is the most common form of it. Others go beyond that in being able to predict or, as I've unfortunately been able to do, foretell death. It's the last that makes me believe in determinism personally - in order to "know" the future the future in some way must be set, since death once that bell has rung really can't be stopped.

I've seen a ghost before.. even discussed things with it... I don't know if it was from the past or future really... It was oddly confident about future events that DID HAPPEN... so.. call me crazy if you will... **** goes down if you concentrate hard enough and just let go.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

For everyone that said "i saw a UFO", understand that UFO doesn't stand for "alien spacecraft" but rather for "Unidentified Flying Object; in other words, something flying that you don't know what it is.
So, have you seen a UFO? Absolutely, or you wouldn't be asking

Sure, UFO is more common used for "alien spacecraft", but, you can not say that that is what you saw...unless you have looked inside, which you didn't.

We use that because we look up and say "we don't have that kind of technology, so, it must be alien"...which we also don't know.

[Golgo-13]

Very possible and there is photographic evidence of potential cases of time travel online.

Really?

 

[Reek]

If anyone was curious... I am actually from the future.

I'm asking the thread regulars about the sidhe because I'm wondering if I'm perhaps being targeted by these fey folk. My grandfather was Irish, and his family reportedly had dealings with the sidhe; you know, in the hills around 3:33 AM on nights when the moon was full. I think he may have made some kind of covenant with them, because it would seem they've come to collect on a debt.

It isn't uncommon for me to wake up in my apartment in the early mornings of the full moon to find things overturned, misplaced, or little messes made when I have no pets, no pests, and my door's bolted shut. Should I lay some defenses against the littlefolk, iron and whatever else I can find, on these nights to keep them away?
