The Mandela Effect

The Mandela Effect refers to a situation where a large number of people share a false memory about an event or fact. It originated from people claiming to remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, rather than living until 2013. While some attribute it to misremembering, others suggest parallel universes or dimensions merging could explain it. The effect causes people to confidently remember trivial details that are factually incorrect. Psychological theories of memory errors and social influence spreading misinformation provide more plausible explanations than theories involving parallel universes, until their existence can be scientifically proven.

Conspiracy Theory: The Mandela Effect

Have you ever been experienced the phenomenon known as The Mandela Effect?
Mandela Effect, that something is a particular way only to discover you have remembered it
all wrong. Why this conspiracy called “The Mandela Effect”? It all started with controversy
when Nelson Mandela died. The Mandela Effect is a situation where a large number of people
have a false memory about an event or fact. Nelson Mandela passed away in 2013, it was the
initial event to spark the conspiracy because multiple people remembered him dying while in
prison in the 1980s, I do believe he died in the 1980s, because he is a hero who fought for the
black race in South Africa and killed. People claimed they recalled news clips and TV coverage
of Nelson Mandelas’s funeral. But that is not what happened. After being free from jail, Nelson
Mandela was the president of South Africa and he lived for the next three decades. But, Nelson
Mandela’s death was only the beginning.

Since then, people online have found multiple case of the Mandela Effect. People have
tried to disconfirm the situation by saying the Mandela Effect is a simple case of
misremembering facts. However, others explain it up to explanations as wild as parallel
universes and merging with other dimensions. In 2010, blogger named Fiona Broome make
the term "Mandela Effect" to describe a collective false memory she discovered at the Dragon
Con convention, where many others believed that former South African President Nelson
Mandela died during his imprisonment in the 1980s. That year, Broome launched the site
MandelaEffect.com to document various examples of the phenomenon.

Frequently reported errors can then become part of collective reality and the internet
can reinforce this process by circulating false information. For illustration, simulations of the
1997 Princess Diana car crash are regularly mistaken for real footage. In this way then, the
majority of Mandela Effects are attributable to memory errors and social misinformation. The
fact that a lot of the inaccuracies are trivial, suggests they result from selective attention or
faulty inference. This is not to say that the Mandela Effect is not understandable in terms of
the multiverse. Indeed, the idea of parallel universes is consistent with the work of quantum
physicists. But, until the existence of alternative realities is accepted, psychological theories
appear much more possible.

I, personally believe that Mandela Effect was exist, because I have an experience from
this effect, and what I have remembered, it all wrong. But, a few people do not believe this
effect, they think it was only an accident.
