1. Dimensions of time and
Psychic abilities: Theories of how quantum Physics and parallel
dimensions allow certain people to see or experience things of the past
or of the future. And methods on how to experience them yourself.
2.Portals and lost time: historical evidence of people walking into portals and experiencing time shifts, seeing past and future events and even disappearing only to reappear days or years later.
Douglas
Adams once said "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone
discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will
instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and
inexplicable." Well, anyone who has watched all five Terminator films
knows this happened about nine times. The Terminator franchise is one
of the best known works of fiction about time travel and like all time
travel movies has it's own particular set of rules that both make and
don't make sense at the same time. Self professed Terminator expert
Kyle "Skunk" Guthrie will present a dissertation on those rules and how
it all makes sense, with the newest film Terminator Genisys serving as
the solution that makes his hypothesis a theory. Beware: spoilers will
be discussed!
