(7,654 posts)The reason why it is called the sixth sense was because scientists at the time thought we only had five senses.
Spoiler alert, we have a lot more than just five. So even that's not right.
If premonitions are true, that means the future is fixed. That means things don't happen at random, which is a fundamental underpinning of quantum mechanics. And which we see every day starting with the weather.
If I see years into the future then that means all of the varied number of coin flips and random acts that would have to happen leading up to that event occurring are in fact not random.
Furthermore, causality is ruined. If I see the future, I see an effect BEFORE the thing that caused it. That violates causality. And that's pretty much one of the iron clad rules of reality. cause precedes effect. The cat hits the glass which falls off the table and hits the ground. The glass doesn't shatter into a million pieces on it's own, then end up on the ground, then get hit by the cat.
IOW, it violates Newton's Second Law of Thermodynamics.
After that, how does the information get into the brain in the first place? There is no known particle that goes backwards in time. The only THEORETICAL particle that might do this is a tachyon. But first of all, they haven't been proven to exist, and second, if they did exist, they never slow down past the speed of light, always traveling FASTER than light so they are certainly not interacting with the neurons in your brain.
There's no biological process for this to work. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4034337/
