There is a discussion in other forum regarding doppelganger and someone mentioned "programmed reality" and quotes a paragraph of Mr. Elvidge without attribution :( Code:http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=245&topic_id=124291&mesg_id=124338 But the discussion theme itself, as an anomaly is interesting, A doppelganger is a person's double.

Don't have time right now on account of I'm posting here, when I get time, Saturday or Sunday, I'll have to register there and credit the source of the quote. Give credit where it is due, I say. I thought this thread was about the 60's Gary Anderson sci-fi classic, 'Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun', aka 'Doppelganger'.  Edit: Also the subject of an episode of the Gary Anderson tv series Space:1999, the episode 'Another Time, Another Place'.

Guillermo:
You do know that if you ever meet your doppelganger that it's mutual annihilation, right?
BTW:
My doppelganger lives in Russia, looks, acts, and thinks just as I do.

Wow Guillermo, great find. Thanks for posting. And welcome to the forum - we look forward to many more posts.
Re. the credit, that certainly would have been nice, but I also just like that the word is getting out there and people are talking about it.
By the way, Tracy, I've always assumed that my doppelganger exists on a different server.

I am not so sure about that, I have seen what I think is my doppelganger 3 times, I am sure that the guy that I saw was my double, the second time that I saw my doppelganger he was driving a car of the exact make, model and color than the one I used to drive in that time! He was wearing exactly the same kind and color of clothes the I was wearing! the only difference was that I was driving my car southbound and he was driving northbound down the avenue, it was almost like looking at myself on a giant mirror. English is not my first language, I hope that I explained myself good enough.

Guillermo: What I remember of my mythology, and everything that I've seen in sci-fi films, I might want to steer clear of my doppleganger. Maybe you're right, I don't know if I'd want to risk it. I won't be taking that tourist trip to Chernobyl anytime soon. Yes, I would want to go there. I found a website once of a gal, daughter of a Russian physicist who would ride her motocycle there and take pics. But my doppleganger in close proximity (geographically).  Yes, you explain very well. Jim: If that's the case, I'd say you're safe. :)
