It is not a superpower, it is a disease and it is called hyperthymesia

It is one of the objectives that human beings hope to reach one day: travel in time. Well, one teenager was able to do it and move to the white room in which he grew up, but it is not a superpower, it is a type of disease called hyperthymesiawhich is the literal persistence of memory.

This is the hyperthymesia that explains this teenager’s way of traveling in time

When a certain person suffers from hyperthymesia usually rremember past experiences with amazing details, something that other human beings would not be capable of. It is unknown what causes hyperthymesia, which It is also known as Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (MAAAS).

The neurologist Valentina La Cortefrom Paris Cité University in France, recently studied the case of a teenager, called TL and he was able to use this ability to mentally travel back and forth in time.

At only 8 years old, TL realized that I could travel to the past and relive events. The little one visualized his memories personal in a white room and minimalist full of filing cabinets.

There they were classified by typesuch as vacations or time shared with family and friends, as well as a specific filing cabinet for documents and photographs. Furthermore, this room was imaginary and it was full of stuffed animals that never collected dust, labeled with the name of the person who gave them to him.

TL, at 17 years old, He was encouraged to tell his family that he could relive memories clearly.so your memory is totally different, with memories that are amazingly precise and full of emotion.

Valentina and her team spoke like this after this study in statements to Neurocase: “This is the first observation of hyperthymesia with a complete evaluation of the mental time travel capabilities at different temporal distances, encompassing the individual’s ability to recover personal events from the personal past, as well as from foresee personal events in the future.”
