for example, an "Einstein Cross" has been observed in telescopes as multiple images of the same star or galaxy.
So you're thiniing of a star passing through a wormhole and we see the effect? As I quoted Kip Thorne saying, indications at present are that even sending a human through a wormhole may be impossible, and a star doing that would be even more impossible, though as he said the jury is still out and it's hard to prove a negative but if you polled the jury now, they would say it's unlikely.

What about.. the same object in different places over a period of time. So say, a star at point a and the same star at point b but it doesn't appear as the same object because for one, it's moved and also it's a different life stage.
Can you see where I'm leaning with this? It's pretty far out there, and Ive had some silly theories.
As Kip Thorne said, we don't know things well enough to rule out such things completely, but I think saying "it's plausible" is not supportable. We can't show any good calculatins showing how it's plausible, so maybe we can say we can't prove it's impossible, though it's unlikely to be possible.
What if due to a space time distortion we could see our own solar system through a telescope. See it's past and it's future. It's plausible.
you're welcome.
I also read your reply in detail, thank you for taking the time to contribute in this thread.
Photon sphere or photon circle is an area or region of space where gravity is so strong that photons are forced to travel in orbits. (It is sometimes called the last photon orbit.)[3] The radius of the photon sphere, which is also the lower bound for any stable orbit, is, for a Schwarzschild black hole

A spinning black hole's gravitational field...will attract and draw in photons and plasma from a distance. I am speculating that the majority of photons that will be drawn in, will never reach the event horizon of the rotational black hole; yet they will get caught-up in the accretion disc, and eventually wind-up in one of the two polar jets of the BH (black hole) --- Which they are then expelled at near the speed of light.
Which is not saying much since any evidence for ESP of any kind is highly questionable. I'd really like to believe it, but when you really dig into the evidence you find a lot of studies with bias and problems with methods, non-replication, and so on. So far at least.

But if someone is able to do easily access and interact with different locations in space and time, beit past or future.. in real time. It's amazing and next to clairvoyance, is one of the most credible areas of ESP.
Both the anecdotal and laboratory evidence for ESP are usually dismissed by skeptics for one or more of the following:
mistaking ordinary perception for psychic ability;
not giving alternative hypotheses a chance (i.e., not looking for or seriously considering physical causes for apparent psi events; sleep paralysis);
lack of understanding of probability and wishful thinking leading to farfetched interpretation of personal experience of coincidental events (apophenia);
dubious methods such as optional starting and stopping and shotgunning;
sensory leakage;
experimenter effect;
not giving the null hypothesis a chance (assuming that if x happens it is evidence of psi and then when x happens claiming that they now have evidence of psi: the psi assumption);
dubious concepts that smack of special pleading, e.g., displacement, analytical and associative overlay, psi-conducive state, psi-missing, psi-focus assumption, and psychic drift;
pathological science;
trickery by children or mentalists;
cold reading and subjective validation;
selective thinking and confirmation bias;
shoehorning, retrospective clairvoyance, and retrospective falsification;
gullibility and self-deception;
fraud by researchers and cheating by subjects being tested for psychic ability.
I just posted detailed documentation explaining the credibility problem. If you won't read it, understand it or accept it why should my answer or opinion have any impact? The document says there are credibility problems and I accept that as stated, there are credibility problems.

Thanks
So you don't believe that remote viewing is at all credible or a real psychic technique?
As you already said, there's no physics for any mechanism to support the claim. I've seen people who don't understand quantum entanglement say quantum entanglement but that's not credible as a cause. Entanglement exists of course, and can do some interesting things, but it can't perform all the magic some promoters of woo would like to ascribe to it.
The question is was getting to is, if it actually works, what is behind the coordinator. Quantum entanglement?
Note that Geller "loses" all his psychic abilities in a controlled experiment!!!! Are you starting to get a clue, or still clueless about what is going on here?

I will say this, what if the controlled environment acts like the measuring device in the double slit. No actually that's just silly.
The smallest black hole ever found has 3.3 solar masses.

Can a micro-mini black hole be fed with zero rest mass photons, and as a result --- would it emit Hawking radiation as a form of light in the polar jets?
That final second of a black hole's life, however, will result in a very specific and very large release of energy. When the mass drops down to 228 metric tonnes, that's the signal that exactly one second remains. The event horizon size at the time will be 340 yoctometers, or 3.4 × 10^-22 meters: the size of one wavelength of a photon with an energy greater than any particle the LHC has ever produced. But in that final second, a total of 2.05 × 10^22 Joules of energy, the equivalent of five million megatons of TNT, will be released. It's as though a million nuclear fusion bombs went off all at once in a tiny region of space; that's the final stage of black hole evaporation.

So it's never been reliably demonstrated that remote viewing even works in the present, and even less so for the unbelievable claims you make about it transcending time.

How is the student to learn how to distinguish the work of responsible scientists from that of crackpots and charlatans? This is arguably the most important lesson that most students should learn from the study of science...
The ultimate test of an experiment is its repeatability, and that of a theory is its power of prediction...
As science Occult Chemistry fails both crucial tests.
Lessons
From beginning to end Occult Chemistry is a tale of deception and gullibility, so in most ways it is not particularly edifying. Still, it provides some worthwhile lessons.
Recognizing the prevalence in the late 19th century of ideas like Babbitt's and the Occult Chemists' makes one more sympathetic toward Hermann Kolbe and more understanding of his scathing and misguided criticism (1877) of structural organic chemistry in general and of young van't Hoff's ideas in particular.
More importantly, Occult Chemistry provides an object lesson in the necessity of treating surprising reports with healthy skepticism. Most scientists, like other humans, tend to assume the good faith, if not always the good sense, of those who report new phenomena. Students must be aware that reporters can be dishonest like Leadbeater, as well as misled or deceived by Nature, or their fellows, as were Crookes, Lodge, and perhaps Besant. While there may be parts of the human experience where there is no substitute for faith, understanding our physical world is not one of them. Repetition of experiment, formulation and testing of unambiguous predictions, and honest analysis of probabilities are better guides in scientific matters.
