But you are off your territory with this one. The Mandela effect is based on the many worlds hypothesis - which in itself is a very weak hypothesis. It depends on another weak hypothesis called super determinism. So you are standing with a double weak hypothesis, but it gets worse! The Mandela effect violates the laws of physics by mixing separated (hypothetical) realities. Realities, that in hypo-theory, are separated by frequencies that cannot be changed spontaneously. Who's in charge of running all these realities and changing the frequencies (just to confuse us!) ?? God? Well, if it is God, then he has a new title to his resume, besides homicidal egomaniac, friendly advisor and cosmic santa claus. He's also an IT nerd! There are a number of things it could be including that. There are experiments where quantum decoherence is reversed so in principle aspects of the past could be dissolved back to multiverse.

It's about suggestibilty No-one has these memories until someone else plants them And every "mind reader" and confidence tricksters knows exactly how that is done! Because really, that's all it is. A trick. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All there are to support this are stories and those stories are never backed up with facts. About all we have are stories which strongly match bad memories. The more we learn about how human brains work the more we see that memories are fallible. This is just a case of evolution forming a brain that does what needs to be done. It works well enough and that is all that matters. Haven't you ever watched any of those time travel movies where things get changed in your present time just because you were in the past? Jeez, it is so simple, only you or the time traveler ever know that something changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just one opinion stated as a fact. I hold the Mandela Effect to be real and this is a subject of considerable interest to me. But you have to first prove that you have a perfect memory. If you ever got lost, couldn't remember a phone number, made less than 100% on a test, can't remember all the names of the people who lived on your street, can't recite a poem after hearing it the first time then you don't have a perfect memory. If you don't have a perfect memory, then you can misinterpret things, forget things, and mis-remember things. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing particularly extraordinary about those experiences. I have them, too, but they're not evidence of timestream jumping or anything else but normal life and a normal human brain. I've lost my car keys (misplaced them) any number of times. It doesn't mean that I jumped the time stream. I can't remember the name of the street where we lived (or the address where we lived) 30 years ago. My husband can. This doesn't mean that I've hopped across reality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my experience is so like many others too. I believe what I find most reasonable to believe: That we are dealing with a real 'Unexplained Mystery'.

Memory editing, false memories, faulty memory. Every single time we remember something we edit that memory, adding newer details. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You read the material multiple times because it did not jive with your memory causing the misreadings. You are free to pretend that your event and others are something other than human fallibility. Don't forget that your memory of the event gets modified over time. You see the paranormal everywhere and I'm sure you have a modified memory that has reinforced your personal urge to see paranormal events. Are there "sensible believers in the Mandela Effect"? Yes, if they recognize that this is about human memory and the manner in which it operates. Those that think it is indicative of some unproven, untestable, bizarre explanation are not sensible, not even a little bit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read my personal experience earlier in this thread. I and so many others have experiences that we honestly believe have no satisfactory 'normal' explanation. I like the change of wording here: "all serious believers in the Mandela Effect" I don't see a believer int he Mandela effect as sensible. I do believe they can be serious believers. Although this is based on your predilection for the paranormal, "we honestly believe have no satisfactory 'normal' explanation." it isn't true at all. It is all about the fallibility of human memory. It changes over time and even over short time periods. There can be differences between short term and long term memory. This leads to confusion and what you described as your experience sounds just like a normal human confusion issue. We all have them. I certainly do. Confusion is not paranormal. It's just the result of the tools we were born with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted May 22, 2019 #119 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Our brains are amazing. How they work and the things we do with them are intriguing. We are all aware of how our visual system is prone to errors. We call instances of this optical illusions. We see size mistakes, and motion that is not there, and get colors wrong, and can't figure out if it is a vase or faces, etc. Our memories are also prone to errors, but everyone at some point or another wants to reject their memory errors. I know I left my keys on the table. I know I turned the lights off last night. I know my password is Baloney1 I know Mandela died in the 80s. I'm sure that I need to search on the word <fill in the blank> because I just typed it in to the article I am writing Memories are not recorded in our brains like a videotape or hard drive. They are reconstructed when we need them. It works, but is prone to errors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted May 22, 2019 #120 Share Posted May 22, 2019 We have roughly 70,000+/- thoughts per day. Do you think anyone perfectly remembers a single one of those thoughts? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotic Jew Posted May 22, 2019 #121 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Tomorrow when I don't show up for work when my boss asks me why I'm going to blame it on the timeline changing and me previously being unemployed until that moment. This seems like a great way to get out of a great number of awkward/damaging situations. Like, my fiance isn't pregnant by me because we have only recently been matched in this timeline. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
