The Mandela Effect! Is it real? How do so many people remember the same thing?!?!? Part 2

  • Summary

  • The Mandela Effect is an observed phenomenon in which a large segment of the population misremembers a significant event or shares a memory of an event that did not actually occur. Fiona Broome, a paranormal researcher, coined the term to describe collective false memory when she discovered that a significant number of people at a conference she was attending in 2010 shared her memory that Nelson Mandela had died in prison during the 1980s. In fact, the former president of South Africa was released from prison in 1990 and was very much alive at the time of the conference.

    According to quantum theory enthusiasts, the Mandela Effect presents evidence that the multiverse does exist. This belief is based on the idea that within each universe, parallel realities and alternate versions of events and objects are present and mixing with the timeline. In psychology, however, the effect is sometimes compared to déjà vu and can be explained by the human capacity for confabulation: an unintentional distortion of memory. Confabulated memories, which are often associated with the brain's frontal lobes, may seem every bit as clear and detailed as events that have actually happened and are not intentionally created to deceive.

    Other people believe that the Mandela Effect is linked to conspiracies involving the Large Hardon Collider (LHC) and the rupture of the space-time continuum or to the flat-Earth theories. Still, others believe the Mandela Effect is caused by simple tricks being played by the mind.

    The Mandela Effect is relevant to project management and human resources, as well as other areas of business.
