The Mandela Effect (Part 1)
PART 1 of 2:
The "Mandela Effect" refers to false memories that are shared by multiple people or large groups. This phenomenon was given it’s name by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome, who reported having vivid and detailed memories of news coverage of South African anti-Apartheid leader Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s. (Mandela actually served as President of South Africa in the late nineties and died in 2013).
Broome reported that since 2010 "perhaps thousands" of other people had written online about having the same memory of Mandela's death in the 80s, and she speculated that the phenomenon could be evidence of parallel realities.
There are tons of examples of the Mandela Effect often referenced in Internet culture, and scientists and skeptics suggest that these are examples of false memories shaped by similar cognitive factors affecting multiple people and families.
Many believers of the Mandela Effect as evidence of alternate timelines or dimensions, the multiverse, ripping of spacetime, or another physics phenomenons.
Listen in as the experts dig in to some examples of the Mandela Effect, explore possible CERN/parallel universe connections, and get to the bottom of what’s REALLY behind the phenomenon.
