4. The Future Has Already Happened
We know the past affects the present and the future, but can the future also affect the present? In 2011, Dr. Daryl J. Bem of Cornell University released a controversial study titled “Feeling the Future: Experimental Evidence for Anomalous Retroactive Influences on Cognition and Affect”. Bem tested 1000 college students for their ability to categorize random information according to something that they would only memorize after the experiment. He conducted a reverse memory test, making his subjects put random words into selected categories based purely on intuition. Once the test was done, Dr. Daryl made the students memorize those same words and their respective categories. He found that the students were more likely to match the proper words with their categories if they memorized it in the future.
This experiment was done to prove precognition. Dr. Daryl believes that there is a stream of information that is being transmitted from future events that we cannot physically or biologically prove just yet. It also means that time is beyond linear; it’s something that has already happened, and we have the ability to tap into that information. The theory probably explains why instincts exist, and how we’re aware of danger when it hasn’t happened yet.
