Wow, that was quite the long and deep read. I'll respond to your story more directly in your other topic.

A couple of my buddies and I recently had a long discussion about psychics, time, and other big Universe questions after watching the movie Deja Vu (great movie by the way). For psychics we came up with a two main hypotheses. First is the common theme that these powers are God sent. This is simple enough that I won't get into it.

The second, and the one we talked about the most, is the idea that these psychics' brains have in some way warped to view the world completely differently than most the rest of us. Scientists are currently working on technologies that read brain waves so we know the brain does emit external waves of some kind. One of my friends is currently in his 3rd year studying Electrical Engineering and he's very interested in studying the brain because the signals in the brain are in some way electrical. (not my forte) Anyways it’s potentially possible that some people’s brains developed a way to read or see these external brain waves or even different time periods. See, we only experience the world through limited senses so it's very difficult to think about drastic variations in what can be sensed or in how time is viewed. This kinda parallels the saying "Think outside the box."

Oh! and Emily herself says in this video that she is named after the song "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her" by Simon and Garfunkel.
