How would you describe ghosts?
Déjà vu? Conscience before birth? Self conscience? This post will not have any actual answers, just different ways to perceive and think about the eccentric events in life. I will begin at the same point that started my thoughts one evening.

| Donnie Darko |
For those who have not seen the film "
Donnie Darko," I would suggest it to anyone who enjoys watching a movie in order to have an issue resolved, but look at life in a different light. I will skip over a lot of the plot in order to move on to what I want, the airplane engine. At the beginning of the film an airplane engine destroys Donnie's room, luckily he was sleepwalking that night. So an investigation occurs and the find the plane that the engine came from, fully intact. Later in the film (28 days in the plot) we see the plane engine fall off and disappear into a vortex. From the ending of the movie (jumping back a month), we find out that Donnie was in his room and the engine hits his room and kills him, but how is it possible that he saw the engine fall off a month later?
Scientist have confirmed that it is possible to tweak the fabric of time when altered with speed. This is
proven and fact, but only is the forward direction of time. So how is it possible to have something in the present time return to the past without messing up the present?
One of the solutions that came into view in my initial discussion was parallel universes.
If there is a parallel universe for every decision's outcome then the solution, then this wormhole could have connected two universes. A solution could be that in Universe A and Universe B both had a engine fall off, only at separate times. So while in the film (Universe A) there was a month of having 2 engines, Universe B had an engine missing for a month, only to essentially have the engines switch universes through the wormholes.
Then comes this concept relating to our lives. What if ghosts, or déjà vu, are universes that open up a wormhole and we peer through them for a moment? An easier way to think of it is like FM frequencies. Lets say that 95.5 ROCK is out of Greenville, while 95.5 LIVE is coming from Charlotte. Seeing how we are in Asheville, the Greenville station will be prominent, but every now and then 95.5 LIVE from Charlotte will dip into the frequency and we will hear it. When we see a ghost, this is just another frequency that is traveling along the same time but we pick up the interference of their alternate universe and we see this things happen. Déjà vu is another universe that is at the same point in time, or something that has happened slightly off from us, that we have already seen, and we feel a sense of awareness and often times a knowing of what is going to happen.
Without getting into quantum mechanics, I will leave off of the subject of alternate universes. How would one describe self-conscience? As a soul? What is a soul? Most people say that animals don't have a soul, so what is the difference? I read an article about how we could possibly be just in a simulation (
link has NSFW language). For those who know php, we could essentially be in a WHILE Loop. The loop could say while this body is still breathing, give it mechanics and thought until X. X could be time, accomplishments, whatever. Yes, I am talking about the essence of life as a scripting language that is running variables and functions.
It is a bit farfetched, but then again, having a glowing bulb of light was farfetched at one point as well.

I will leave the floor open with the question of how would you describe self-conscience before birth? Religious or scientific theories, no matter how crazy are all welcomed!
