- So far it hasn't.
-
- Perhaps I should modify that a bit, to say that none of the hypotheses
- that have been suggested so far can be scientifically tested today.
-
- J.B. Priestly, a British author, wrote a book called 'Man and Time'
- where he presents an admittedly personal view of time and various
- ideas around it. It does present most of the various 'explanations' of
- deja vu, but I hesitate to call it science. Priestly seems to have had
- a rather unusual attitude to time, judging from some of his plays.
-
- You'll find a lot of references to other books on the topic, including
- Dunne's 'An Experiment with Time'.
