What do you know about anticipation? Does it exist, or is it only our fantasy? Let's figure it out.
Anticipation is a sort of sense that every person knows or has heard about, like love or fear. We can feel it, but describing it is harder. It also applies to intuition. If you've ever had a strange, inexplicable feeling, you know what I'm talking about. However, we should remember that fear is very similar to anticipation. So when you feel insecure without any reason, that's one situation. But it's different when you have similar feelings knowing you made a mistake and are about to explain it to an authority. There are two kinds of intuition.
The first is unscientific and mystical, attributed to individuals like clairvoyants, but I don't know much about it because it's mostly based on rumors. Let's focus on the second type, which has been studied by scientists. It is considered the work of our unconscious mind. Our conscious mind evolved later in our brain's development, so there are situations where our conscious mind can't recognize things as quickly, and other parts of the brain help out. All of this leads to the phenomenon of anticipation.
In reality, I think that the mystical type of intuition could exist, like incredible energy channels connecting every living organism with the main universe core. Maybe, I don't know. We can't know for sure yet, but who knows what the future holds...
