AM I GOING CRAZY? Or am I suffering from the Mandela Effect?
"What happened to Mirror, Mirror, on the wall "?
"Life WAS like a box of chocolates"?
"NO, I am your father"?
Why have we been misquoting these movies for years? Are we all suffering from...
THE MANDELA EFFECT
The Mandela Effect is the theory of parallel universes, based in the idea that because large groups of people have similar alternative memories about past events. It is named after Nelson Mandela, who many people have a very distinct memory of him dying in prison in the 1980's. However, history shows that he actually died in 2013.
Do you remember the Berenstein Bears? If you look it up now, you’ll see that it’s only spelled Berenstain Bears. Even though tens of thousands of people remember it being spelled as “Berenstein” so clearly.
The famous Star Wars line “Luke, I am your father”, is now “No, I am your father”. Any Star Wars fans out there surprised to hear this? Check out the video below or, if you have a copy, go pop it in and have a listen for yourself.
How many of us remember the famous line from Forest Gump, which is now spelled Forrest Gump for some reason. Do you recall it being "Life is like a box of chocolates"? Think again...
Who recalls the evil queen in Snow White who is all_ obsessed with being the most beautiful – “the fairest one of all”?–Remember her bewitching chant, “Mirror Mirror on the wall who is the fairest one of all” ? Wrong Again!!
THEORIES OF WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE MANDELA EFFECT
Many who believe that the phenomenon may be linked to people ‘jumping from one timeline in the multiverse to another’. In other words, those who remember “mirror mirror” grew up in a world where that’s true, and then somehow ‘switched’ timelines into this one, where now it is different. Another similarity is that one possible origin involves the multiverse theory and the way other worlds theoretically interact with and influence this one.
Other theories include psyops/mindcontrol, time travel, the universe being a simulation, etc. Whatever the origin, and whatever you believe, it certainly is fascinating that so many people are coming together to discuss such an odd phenomenon. I am personally riveted to (and somewhat unnerved) by the subject, and will continue to watch the discussion and the community as it develops.
I am now leaning towards Einstein’s “Ripples in space” to explain this ever flooding Mandela Effect that many of us are dealing with and (going mad over) Perhaps we ARE in a slow time travel, or else Scientists have fiddled with worm holes. As time progresses, the lines between worlds start to blur. History becomes Myth; Myth becomes Legend, and Legend comes back around to coincide with actual History. The further back in time you go, the more the events start to become waveforms. What you end up with is bizarre parallel tales that are fundamentally different and “impossible” to have occurred during the same time frame, yet are identical in very unique and particular ways.
