What is the Mandela Effect?

A lot of us are experiencing something called the “Mandela Effect“, In 2010, this shared false memory phenomenon was dubbed the Mandela effect by self-described “paranormal consultant” Fiona Broome in reference to her false memory of the death of South African leader Nelson Mandela in the 1980s, but then, Mandela died in December 2013, which she claimed was shared by perhaps thousands of people. 

This sheer phenomenon was then referred to as “False memory,” occurring to thousands of people at the same time, claiming to have remembered a distant memory being altered.

A series of the thread has been making rounds on Twitter, allegedly claiming that the world died in 2012, moreover, that our reality has been altered or that we’ve entered a different dimension replicating the previous one.

Science: Altered reality, time travel, and dimension travel have been part of every theory, discussions, and sci-fi movies. We’ve come to an age where questioning our existing reality has blown up the internet.

The following thread from Twitter is reported by @NickHintonn explaining a bizarre conspiracy theory on how the world did not end but our reality altered in 2012,

“I have wanted to talk about this subject for a while now. The other day I had a random urge to look into it again and read some old stuff. But the strangest part is, I cannot find anything online about it anymore, “tweeted Nick,” so did the world actually end in 2012? Well, it was the year scientists at CERN finally found the Higgs Boson, the particle Stephen Hawking predicted could destroy the universe, or cause the universe to undergo a catastrophic vacuum decay.”

He further continued to tweet,

“Well, what could happen if we destroyed the universe, would we know about it? Maybe CERN accidentally created a black hole that sucked us in without us even noticing or realizing it happening and we’ve been living in it ever since. Some physicists actually believe this is possible. There’s an old cliche argument that nothing has ‘felt right’ since 2012. I agree with this, maybe it has something to do with ‘growing up’ and getting older, but it seems like the world descends more and more into chaos each day and time even feels faster.”

“There’s some sort of calamity happening almost daily, like mass shootings only stay in the headlines for like 12 hours now. Did we all die and go to Hell? I don’t really believe that, but some people do. Maybe we’re in a similar situation to the characters in ‘The Good Place.’ Like I’ve said before, I think we live in a series of simulations. Perhaps, the universe was destroyed by CERN and our collective consciousness was moved into a parallel universe next door, it would be almost identical,”

tweeted Nick.

Has CERN deliberately created the Mandela effect?

A viral thread on 4chan posted by someone who claimed to be one of the 23 scientists at CERN responsible for creating the Mandela effect.

They claimed the planet was destroyed and we were placed in a simulated world.

The thing that was far more interesting than the supposedly claims, that someone described reality as being like a set of Russian dolls, where worlds nestled within one another, or like ‘simulations’ within ‘simulations’.

The idea of a multiverse is not something new rather, it has been part of eastern philosophy since the third century. A quote by Alan Watts illustrates it perfectly,

“Imagine a multidimensional spider’s web in the early morning covered with dewdrops. And every dewdrop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dewdrop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum…”

Apart from the Mayan’s prediction of the end of the world 2012, there were some other people who felt likewise.

One of those people was Terrance McKenna. However, he didn’t literally believe at the end of the world 2012 per se but rather believed in the ‘reality-rearranging’ event. He made this prediction using his time-wave Zero formula, which supposedly mathematically ‘decodes’ the King Wen sequence of the I Ching into something that graphs the fractal patterns of history.

Preston B. Nichols, a supposed whistleblower who wrote books detailing time travel experiments at the Montauk Air Force Base, claimed that they were never able to time travel past 2012 because they could find no future beyond it.

The following series of the thread is where Nick explained how people are noticing small differences in reality and the one they remember before 20212. And, this phenomenon is referred to as the Mandela Effect.

He continued to explain how some people remember “Febreeze” rather than “Febreze,” and quite evidently, this specific word was mentioned in one of the episodes of  Two Broke Girls, and yes, the subtitles said, “Febreeze.” The most famous one out of the lot is, “Loony Toons” instead of “Looney Tunes,” definitely something to ponder upon. 

The out of the ordinary Mandela effect was when people in the United States remembered the Statue of Liberty is in a totally different location, that location is Ellis Island, the statue is actually on Liberty Island. Nick even attached a painting depicting the statue at Ellis Island with no other islands nearby.

He questioned the artist not paying attention to details and facts. Nick then tweeted claiming that if you would go on Google Maps Street view, there are a few specific areas of Liberty Island where the Statue of Liberty is just gone, erased,  Could it be residue from the previous timeline he asked.

Nick tweeted,

“Apparently, right before the U.S entry into World War I, the Germans committed the first act of terrorism on U.S soil. It was considered one of the largest artificial non-nuclear explosions to have ever occurred, I’m wondering why I haven’t read about it in the books in school?” the thread further becomes more complicated and interesting as the conspiracy theory goes by he tweeted,” this explosion is the reason the Statue of Liberty’s torch is closed to the public. It’s been closed for over 100 years, there’s the only problem though, people actually remember going there!”

Nick then added a series of photographs allegedly claiming people have been inside the torch of Statue of Liberty. Furthermore, there’s a twitter account named “Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation.” 

In 1923 a comet passed by the earth, a close contact that could have been a catastrophe, the comet was visible to the eyes close to a town in Finland, which caused disorientation in people, some were lost and never returned home, others temporarily lost their memory.

Reality Alternation and Parallel Dimension: Is it possible?

Reportedly, a woman went to the police, scared beyond what she has experienced, and claimed to tell them that the man at home was not her husband.

When police went to her home they told her that if it was her husband, the wife told them that her husband had passed away many years ago. But the police couldn’t stop the man, because he was her husband since it was reported he was her husband on the public record.

In 1935 a scientist tried to explain the phenomenon by locking a cat in a box of poison. The animal had a 50% chance of living and 50% of dying, that is to say, “two possibilities and two realities” are created in different universes. If parallel universes really existed, the cat would still be alive in one universe and dead in another parallel universe.

The woman died saying that wasn’t her husband, while the man simply said she was his wife. Since we are born to know only one reality, in one which we live, but according to some scientists, there might be several parallel realities.

This implies that what does not happen in our world, maybe happening in another, there may even be many versions of ourselves in other universes.

In 1954, a man arrived at Tokyo Airport with a passport from a non-existent country, “Taured.” The man was arrested for using fake papers, but he continued to insist he was from that country and that he had legit papers to prove it. He was arrested in a hotel, but he disappeared without a trace.

The “Déjà Vu” is the feeling that you already lived something, but there is also the ” Déjà Vecu,” the feeling that you know what will happen next. But even stranger is the “Alter Vu,” that is when someone remembers their story differently and is aware that the facts are unfolding differently.

Many believe this kind of feeling has to do with memories of other versions of ourselves, in other parallel universes. Some believe that the “ghosts” we believe to see are actually people living in other universes and that is reflected in ours unintentionally, although they can’t do it completely.

We’re not sure if any of this is true or could be possible, certainly such conspiracy theories have blown up on the internet, not only on twitter but series of documentary mid-night thoughts on Tiktok. However, only time and some strong footing of facts can unravel even the mightiest mysteries hidden in time.
