Déjà Vu – A Glitch In the Brain Or Time?

Déjà Vu – A Glitch In The Brain Or Time?

Déjà vu is the eerie sense that you’ve lived the exact moment before, even though it’s happening for the first time.

Most people encounter déjà vu at least once in life—especially in youth and early adulthood.

Neuroscientists suggest déjà vu happens when memory circuits temporarily misfire, creating a false sense of familiarity.

Some believe déjà vu points to alternate realities or timelines briefly overlapping with our own.

In many cultures, déjà vu is seen as evidence of past-life memories resurfacing in the present.

Science explains part of it, but the phenomenon still fuels mystery—balancing between brain glitch, memory trick, and cosmic puzzle.
