Does Precognition Exist?

Answer 1

There is some evidence from both ESP testing and Remote Viewing in support of it's existence. There are many online tests/games where you choose the target before the computer randomly selects it.

I have included a link the Parapsychological Association that has links to the above mentioned games. You could also read up on the current scientific research literature about precognition while on the site.

I have also included below 2 links that allow people to record their precognitions so they will have verification after a predicted event takes place.

Answer 2

There’s a problem in your reasoning here-- you’re assuming that Time is linear and only runs ONE WAY. But there’s no proof of that and many people feel that’s just the way WE perceive time. Quantum physics has shown that a particle can exist in two places at the same time, so it's reasonable to think that existence is not limited to ONE single universe. Many physicists accept the idea of multiple universes and if true, it follows that there could also be multiple timelines. The topic of causality is something that Psi advocates often debate about. It’s similar to the “chicken before the egg” argument and there’s really no answer. But our own experiences with precognition make it a dilemma we contend with on a daily basis. Perhaps this example will illustrate the enigma of precognition & time. A few years ago, I had a precognitive dream about an impending earthquake. Sensing it was valid & significant, I reported that dream to CPR (Central Premonitions Registry), so it’s on record and is a documented case. In my dream, I saw a white apt building about 6-7 stories tall which collapsed. Each floor pancaked down on the one below & I thought dozens would be killed. I knew it was a city on the coast of Taiwan. I reported the date as “one day out from Xmas; either the day before or the day after” and wrote that it would occur between 10-11 AM. Sure enough, about 10 days after posting that report, there WAS an earthquake on the Taiwanese coast. It happened Dec. 26 at 10:30 am, just as I’d described. *But there was no building collapse and only one person died in the quake. So what explains my getting the date, time & location so accurately, but being so completely wrong about the degree of devastation & deaths? Does that mean that in some other parallel universe, that same earthquake was much more destructive? Another example you might identify with is your own déjàvu. Say you had a déjàvu recollection about opening a newspaper & reading the football scores. But the moment you recognize that déjàvu occurring, you stop turning pages and never actually get to the Sports section. If you see yourself performing specific actions or uttering certain words, but you deviate from that “script,” doesn’t that mean you are altering destiny? By not allowing one's dejavu to play out exactly as visualized, aren’t you changing that outcome, affecting the future ever so slightly? Lots of people (me included) believe that these contradictions indicate that Time isn’t preordained or set to unfold in a particular way. So it’s reasonable to think that rather than being linear and one way, multiple timelines might exist. Perhaps time skews off in all directions & every action we take may create many different possibilities or divergent futures/ realities.

Answer 3

I have to say yes. I have experienced precognition in different forms. Not all the time, but since I was eight. My mother has had very accurate precognitive dreams. Can't explain it and don't want to. Maybe someday science will. I just accept it, but am always amazed when I experience it.

Answer 4

I am very curious too if precognition exists and what if any influence the sensation of déjà vu has on precognition. People readily talk of déjà vu and it seems to be an accepted experience, but people seem to fear precognition topics. It seems to me in order to experience the sensation of déjà vu, the person must have had some form of precognition.

Answer 5

All of this is true:

My dad's meditation teacher had 3 dreams in his entire life.
The first told him not to get on a ferry the next day. He decided to cancel his trip, and the ferry sunk and everyone on it died.
The second was that a white (almost no white people were in china at that time) student would arrive at his doorstep.
When my dad did, he decided to teach him, when he had only accepted one student in the last 30 years despite constant pesterings to.
The third was right before my dad returned to come study with him again, and he decided as a result to teach him again.

I can think of other examples, but I think these ones are the best evidence to cite for the point.

Answer 6

I have seen neither reason nor evidence supporting the idea that precognition is a real phenomenon. I have seen plenty of people using confirmation bias to assert such abilities exist, but this is nothing more than anecdotal.

Answer 7

While it cannot be proven, many people, including myself, believe that precognition does exist.

However, since it cannot be proven, I would have to give an official answer of "Maybe" since this is Yahoo Answers, not Yahoo Opinions.

Answer 8

I personally don't think so.I did enjoy the Final Destination movies.Great special effects for lower budget movies.

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

Don't be daft. There is absolutely no such thing
