For me a plausible counter example appears a late Bulgarian phenomenon Baba Vanga (???????? ??????????), who allegedly could predict future with high accuracy and see in the past. She survived practicing in times of advanced socialism, not telling ill people they will die soon. I can't figure out how this doesn't break causality, neither care.
Call me a crazy nut for the above.
The wikipedia page about her, likely with a lot of disinformation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Vanga
Hmm... I am pretty (extremely) cynical about such things, but, really, who fucking knows.... There is no doubt the "standard model" changes, but I like to think these "advances" are based on slightly harder science than Baba Vanga :P
I tell people that anyone who has ever kept a dream journal for a substantial length of time will learn that time is not what we think it is. In my case, I was rather shocked to find descriptions of several people I had not /yet/ met in real life, and how we would interact some months later. On another occasion, I found a detailed description of events - the date confirmed as correct per the a note that the moon was full - that one week later neither I nor anyone else involved remembered, in a regular journal. Mind = blown. None of this can or should persuade anyone but me that something damned strange is going on with this "reality" thing. But I was and remain so persuaded. Now the question is, what does it mean and what can I do with/to/about it? So far the only answer I get is "just be aware that you don't know what you think you know about how reality works." And worse - maybe Phil Dick was right. :o/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJX4txcAAoJEECU6c5XzmuqMDAH/jxReYDZO5JssTmINwrcnhUE JXfpJ7lBcn2wVP8Lz5i3LA2QS6R07uD/7oDvCWTZDfePc8qyOuYuvUgOsaVoXMEK RUJsayFbVCyzQG7dS0kdalTlinfo5fxZp4ZS0X18je+Rrq/YPQ/M1zANDkqg8UV9 9vWZzCzEWnIEQjcH94yx+fYgeBdzddialfAxaxWovM0sKh7vXUmw/eFpNrSBKaIg ZtA5231xvAowc2gi0D9goF4hvbBL6mAk6lObumSSpjA8OouIsnzYT4v2yXIQWYdj 2R6LjeuVZ5WceD7HuhmE//rcG7nBrzbyem+twZY4F3rJvX2HUo0xV54HZjfRZ/o= =kx2c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
