| Abstract: | Re-living memories and imagining future scenarios lies at the heart of humanity. The very nature of imagination impedes and disorientates memories, and diversifies reality. We make use of this to define multiple realities, coexisting side by side. But are we unique among the animal kingdom in traveling mentally in time? |
