We can see the future

We can see 1/10th of a second into the future?

Then Deja vu is real!

If that isn't fodder for a story, then I don't know what is. Veddy interesting stuff! Good find, Ray.

Way to go with a creepy story prompt!!!

Hmm, very interesting.

My Hubby is on a Live Science article, there's a picture of his platoon because there some talk of volunteering them to colonize the moon or other planets because they're already used to really crappy living conditions. I didn't know what to make of that, but Live Science is a site I can go to every time I need an idea. It's interesting. Some of it is bizarre, some is beyond bizarre, and just crazy enough to be correct. It's a fun place to rummage through some brilliant and unique minds.

I'm blond... does that mean that I see things 1/10 of a second after it happens? (goes stumbling though the kitchen)

I waited forever and nothing happened... Does that mean I am going to die??
YIKES!

*snicker*
You're so silly.

i'm not a scientist, but I'm a bit confused:

the article says the visual system compensates by generating images of what will occur... but wouldn't that require some sort of processing by the brain? Your eyes themselves just *see* what's there, so at some point if this "future processing" is going on, wouldn't that be subject to the same processing delay that results in the 1/10th second lag in the first place?

can someone explain what seems like an inherent flaw in this to me?
