A lot lately too, such a weird feeling. Discuss.

that video makes me think of something .. ok follow this.

A memory is nothing more than an arrangement of brain chemicals. It's a physical pattern in the atoms of our brain. Could a force alter one atom at a time and implant memories in brain?

Take a dead brain. Dissect it one atom at a time, recording the pattern. Then alter the atoms in a live brain to give it that memory.

Completely irrelevant to the video and deja vu in general but your idea sparked another one. If you do a brain transplant, I lost my entire brain, memories etc. Do I now obtain the other persons memories, knowledge and every other aspect the brain is used for in life? Do I evenetually become the original person in my body? Or will my brain end up developing as if the brain transplant never happened. Will my though processes be the same? Or will I think like the other person?

Edit:
So inrelation to deja vu, he refers to it as where an event happens, and then the fragments of the memory make you think of deja vu. (event happens first)
Is it possible though to have it where your memory thinks about it, and then it actually happens (where the event hapepns second)
Unfortunately im pretty unknowledgable about deja vu

back in my AP psych class in Highschool, we went over the idea of deja vu, and my teachers explanation went something like:

When we sleep, we have many thoughts, many that we are not aware of. with so many thoughts being processed in our mind, we are eventually able to put images/events together through shear probability, and when we're awake and an event occur in front of our eyes, it triggering that deja vu feeling
