When I travel throughout the Galaxy I always remember to have in my possession the one item The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy deemed absolutely essential a towel
I think the reason why a lot of people kind of remember chartreuse as being reddish/pinkish is because it's associated with wine (well, it's technically a French liquor). And when "wine" is mentioned, the first thing that pops into mind (for me at least) is the red stuff. Also, it does sound like a type of wine to people that aren't really familiar with wines, like me. 😅
i had the same thing with chartreuse, but this was long ago. i was getting fish bait when i was about 17 in the mid 90s, and i looked at the chartreuse colored fishing bait, and it was a neon yellow/green, and i distinctly remember thinking, they must have put the wrong labels on these, it should be that pinkish red color. Just now, watching this vid, is the first time I've heard of this particular Mandela switch up. so that blows my mind. but also, Berenstein was what i always remembered..
My literary recommendation for kinda parallel universes kinda time travel is "Mother of Learning". It has a Groundhog Day style time loop in a fantasy setting (with magic), but it aims to cover all the logical consequences.
I just tried to find out more about you. You have a very curious mind and i was thinking you'll either be in sciences or be a professor of some sort. When i clicked on your "About" tab i noticed you have not been on youtube for a year yet, another 18 days to go. That's so impressive to have 74k subscribers in under a year. This is such a great channel, you're doing an amzing job!
I too have experienced the chartreuse ‘colour change’! Always thought it was pink red or something like fruit juice and was very stunned when I was corrected. Didn’t even know this was a Mandela effect. Thanks!
My favorite Mandela Effect example is Darth Vaders famous line to Luke in the Empire Strikes Back. Even James Earl Jones seems to have misremembered the line as he erroneously quoted it as, “Luke, I am your father” in a TV interview.
My family used to go shopping in a town near us..we used to pass a old manor house that my mum was really envious of and one day it was engulfed in fire, i was young and excited to see the fire engines and stuff on the way home and my parents also wanted to know what happened so we did are shopping and headed home..the house was perfect and i was disappointed, my older sister and parents very confused! My dad looked into it and it had never had any fires in it's history.
Deja Vu was something I'd experience multiple times per year when I was a kid (teens-twenties). But as I got older it went away and I haven't experienced it for many years. This made me curious, so sometimes I'd ask people when the last time they had Deja Vu was, and strangely enough older people would always say something like "It's been so many years I don't even remember." But when you ask someone younger they'd always say recently. I wonder if it just has something to do with our brain still developing when we're younger.
Back to the science though: not sure if your Doctor will still tell you this but- apparently if you have deja-vu far more often than usual all of a sudden you should get a check up. It may be a sign of a neurological issue related to potentially fatal conditions, brain bleeds, tumors etcetera. *Caveat: this may have been debunked & I didn't mean to panic anyone, so don't quote me on it.
I had not noticed the drop off of Deja Vu as people get older. It sounds like a legitimate observation to me. I've heard about the idea that dreams are you brain simulating potential futures to prepare you for different possibilities. I buy that idea. I think that Deja Vu is when you're in a situation you dreamt of. I also recall my mother when I was fairly young saying that she was doing laundry even in her dreams. It wasn't long after that that her dreams kinda faded into not being remembered after she woke up. So perhaps when a person is settled and in a routine and there is less need to simulate potential futures as there once was, dreams diminish, and if they are linked like I think, that could be why Deja Vu diminishes over time as well.
So, the Man from Taured is actually an urban legend. It's based on a man named John Zegrus, an alleged document forger arrested by Japanese police in 1960, who went on to be the subject of varying stories about a man from an unknown country, detained in Japan, culminating in the story told in the video.
I figured that was the case. For every one of these examples, there’s a much less outlandish explanation, like the Mandela effect being a great example of how terrible and inaccurate human memory actually is, deja-vu essentially being a brain fart etc etc, but folk love the fantastical over reality 😂 while I find the actual reasons far more fascinating
@@eZTarg8mk2 I prefer reality as well. Especially since if you start thinking deeply about reality, it's not that reality isn't fascinating, it's that we don't appreciate it. I mean how absolutely bonkers it is that this one universe that we know of even exists. And you mean to tell me that a bunch of dead matter swirling around somehow produced a living thing? Frankly, I find existence of life and consciousness to be more fantastical than any of these stories.
I kinda enjoyed Off to be the Wizard by Scott Meyers. The basic premise is that magic is real, but the wizards are all basically hackers tweaking the code of reality :) It's not really a pinnacle of literature and falls flat in a lot of aspects, but I read every book in the series and had fun.
Hey! I have to say that the Mandela effect is one of the biggest "wtf" moments of my life. I VERY VIVIDLY recall being taught about Mandela in 4th grade at the same time I was taught about Gandhi, as people who took a stance for their own country, and they were dead at the time (1999). I also saw this in multiple documentaries. Additionally, I also vividly recall reading a book about South African apartheid in 2002 in English classes where Mandela was VERY dead. I can't recall the exact name of the book but it spoke about his journey, his imprisonment and death. When I heard that Mandela was about to die in 2013 (and the funeral part) I literally froze. I'm from South America and have no particular interest in Mandela whatsoever; the guy was 100% dead for all I knew; to this day I find it extremely hard to believe he wasn't dead. The term "Mandela effect" was not coined until some time later; I thought I was crazy for some time until I came across this and figured I was not alone lol.
A plausible explanation for the Mandella effect is based on the fact that neurons that fire together wire together, and another member of the ANC who at the time was as notable as Mandella had died in prison in the 80s. And since episodic memory is reconstructive in nature, a person's attempt to recall the ANC member who died also triggers Mandella, but being much more notable as a president of South Africa while forgetting the ANC member who died in prison is recalled as the person who died.
The best example in Sci-Fi of parallel universes, time travel, etc is Fringe (TV Show produced by FOX 2008-20013 101 episodes) the best Sci-Fi TV show ever made. The show explores so many more ideas than that, but parallel universes is at the core of the show. Another example of an apparent Mandela effect happens with people referencing the Stockholm syndrome as the Helsinki syndrome. It happened after the popular movie Die Hard where the writers made that mistake and then the movie ended up being so popular that many people actually heard about what Stockholm syndrome is with the wrong term.
Considering I once had an hour long Deja Vu experience where I was hyper aware of it, I believe it is basically just a repeat of the current moment just a few milliseconds after it happens - Like a stutter or something. Because you can never predict the next thing to happen, no matter how long it goes on. After all, we never experience the moment anyways. Anything hitting the senses has already happened by the time we perceive it.
I sometimes can predict what happens when theres a 'deja vu' ongoing, like '...now this person wearing *bla bla* will pass in front of me...' and it does, things like that, confirming that i've seen this scene happening before in the exact same way, but who knows, the brain is weird
I had the same color (purplish red) in my head for chartreuse. I'm in my 50's, you are much younger, so this phenomenon has been around for a while. But, when I asked my mother, in her 80's, she immediately said yellowish green. 🤷
The modern explanation for deja vu actually makes more sense: a short term (immediate) memory that accidentally got stored in your long term memory.. like a memory hiccup or something.
The thing about Mandela isn't just in looking back and getting it wrong. It's that when his release was reported, the reaction was, "But, you told us he died." There was no internet to speak of in 1990, so we couldn't call out the media on their BS or pull up old reports back then.
"The Demons at Rainbow Bridge", Jack L. Chalker has an interesting take on multiverse, big bang mechanism, and beyond the edge or the universe. (SciFi/Fantasy)
Sean Carroll of Caltech is a great source for the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. I highly recommend his 2019 book, "Something Deeply Hidden."
According To Chat GPT: The original spelling of the series was "Looney Tunes" when it debuted in 1930. The name was a parody of "Silly Symphonies," a popular series of musical cartoons produced by Walt Disney Productions at the time. However, in 1936, the spelling was changed to "Looney Toons" before being changed back to "Looney Tunes" later that same year, which has been the standard spelling ever since.....The children's book series is officially called "The Berenstain Bears," but many people remember it being spelled as "The Berenstein Bears" with an "e" instead of an "a." This phenomenon is known as the "Mandela Effect," and the likely explanation is that the uncommon name "Berenstain" led to people assuming it was spelled differently, along with the pronunciation of the name with a long "i" sound. The official spelling is "The Berenstain Bears."
I've had a few experiences. I was asked to write a story and take photos for an advertising feature. It was at an old and rambling inn in a quaint town. I'd driven by many times and it was an impressive sight -- old, Victorian, four storeys and massive. When the owner met me and welcomed me inside, the instant I walked in the big front doors I knew I'd been there before and could remember every room in the original structure. There was a more recent addition to the building but it wasn't part of my memories. Deja Vu? Parallel universe? Another time I was driving my car from work, cross country on old winding roads to meet my wife at her inlaws' place. I had $5 which was meant for fuel for the car which was on empty when I left. The trip was roughly two hours long and before I could stop for fuel, I picked up an old man who was hitchhiking. We talked and I found out he'd been on the road for days heading for what he hoped was work. He'd slept in woods and ditches and hadn't eaten for three days. He had an old duffle bag with his worldly possessions. We came to a little canteen/takeout in the middle of nowhere and I gave him the $5 and told him to go inside and buy a hamburger. He came out with a loaf of bread and some peanut butter and a plastic knife and that had taken all of the money. I dropped him off on the road he needed to take and drove another hour to meet my wife. The car was still on empty and when I filled it up (after going to an ATM which were few and far between back in those days) the next morning it took a full tank. How I drove for two hours on an empty tank I have no idea.
I'm totally with you on the color Chartreuse, and I'm a lot older than you and until watching this video I never had seen Chartreuse as a yellow-green or greenish color ever before in my life.
You need to watch, Time-lapse to the Future A Journey to the End of Time. It's one of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. Keep up the great work, Love your channel 🙂
The thing with the mandella effect, is I'm aware that for the Berenstein Bears.... people have found *_ACTUAL_* official books/videos with the _Alternative_ spelling. Now that could easily be a typo that didn't get noticed, etc. .... but still..... And I think there was a newspaper that reported on Mandella's *_Early_* death, not sure how that could have gotten mixed up... so... yeah...
The M.E or Mandela Effect is more of like where about 65% of people which are deeply Intune with pop culture enough to even notice when a change has taken place right off the bat without even 2nd guessing, I believe the key factor is the subconscious mind storing that particular piece of pop culture (like how we have nostalgia linking us to a direct memory associated with that piece of pop culture) like a photograph and its details and sending signals to our consciousness automatically that there is something different about what we remember. I do agree that there are plenty of other cases where misremembering certain Mandela effects are possible but then again who are we to debate about what somebody remembers or doesn't? All I know is Brittney Spears was wearing a plaid skirt in the "Baby One More Time" music video and not all black.
For me two things I remember "incorrectly" I was born in 83 growing up my mum drove a VW beetle, (also in the 90s I lived in a hippy town where VWs were extremely common even having a VW parade every year) i remember the V and W being connected which is apparently not the case now, the other case is growing up playing monopoly, the monopoly guy definitely had a monocle....
imo most of the mandela effects just come from different localizations or chinese knockoffs. I've seen a lot of "looney toons" , "Luke, I am your father" or wrong color pikachu merch as a kid.
"His Dark Materials is a trilogy of fantasy novels by Philip Pullman..." Wikipedia It's some good reading. The parallel universes aren't a central thing in the story to begin with, so don't start reading it expecting dimension jumping from the start. It's more that it gets established that they exist as you read. I had much fun reading it before I realised that we had parallel worlds. Not that I'm an expert on fictional parallel worlds, but Clive Barker's Imajica from 1991 is both his and my favorite of his novels. This is fantasy rather than sci-fi, with Earth as one "dominion" among four others. It can be seen as five worlds only accessible through magic, so not sure if parallel *universes* is the right term. But it has the same result anyway. As I'm writing about worlds inaccessible for mere normal humans, I have to mention the trilogy C. S. Lewis wrote before he got stuck in Narnia; Out of the Silent Planet (1938), Perelandra (1943) and That Hideous Strength (1945). Not at all about parallel universes, but a very interesting take on sci-fi mixed up with some of Lewis' corny new age religion. The books are *very* different and I almost gave up on book two, until I recognised a lot of similarities to some things in Lord of the Rings. (Lewis and Tolkien were friends and often discussed their writing.) So now I almost want to credit LotR to Lewis in some parts. I think it is worth a read though, even if I saw the second book as a hurdle, where the worlds in our system is inhabited by other people and ruled by higher powers. I mention it mostly because in both Imajica and here, Earth is isolated from the other worlds that all have knowledge of each other. For more parallel universe fun, watch the TV series Fringe (2008-2013).
I remember Mandela died. I remember thinking it was a shame he never got out of prison. I was working the 7am shift at work. I remember watching his funeral start on cnn. I had to turn it off and rush to work. Years later my mom and brother were talking about how he had been released from prison. I told them he had died and they were confused about it, as was I. I’ve seen a few reports on the news of famous people passing away only to see them on tv alive 2 or 3 years later.
@@michaelmoore5928 Biko died in September of 1977. Far before cnn even came on the air. Plus I was too young to work yet in 77. I specifically remember it occurring in 1988 -89 and hearing about it on cnn. I was also working by then too. Plus, as stated, I started watching Mandela’s funeral on cnn too. Many times I’ve wished that I popped a tape in the VCR before going to work that day.
I have that same thought about putting the tape in the VCR because i remember my grandpa crying the day Mandela died in prison.. turned out it didn't happen that way?
@@TransoceanicOutreach well since you’re so sure of the complexities of dimensional boundaries and physics and other sciences, and are obviously perfectly qualified to tell people you’ve never met that they didn’t experience what they experienced and couldn’t be right because it doesn’t match what you think…arrogant much?
@@PatrickMersinger Kinda ironic from the person who swears they're right and recorded history is wrong. Not trying to attack you but honestly this whole phenomenon to me has always seemed like people were ready to look for the most far fetched possible explanation possible rather than admitting their brain might be imperfectly recollecting things (a known and proven phenomenon beyond the Mandela Effect).
I remember Mandela dying in prison years earlier than he actually did, but I think this is attributed to him getting really sick and one news outlet mistakenly reporting that he died or was near death. I don't remember anything else except saying to myself "I thought he already died" after he really did. The same thing happened to me with the soccer player Pele'.
6:16 Human memory is reconstructive, so rather than just pull up a file like a computer would, it literally pieces it back together each time, meaning they you will never quite remember something exactly the same way twice, especially if a lot of time has passed between recalls. This could go some way to explaining the Mandela effect, as well as a combination of generally accepted misquotes (in the case of Star Wars, the line is “no, I am your father” and not “Luke, I am your father” as so many people think it is) and different pronunciations (in some accents, tunes and toons sound almost identical, for example).
From what I understand, the phenomenon of "Dejavu" is actually caused from a minor delay in messaging to your brain. When light enters your eyes and then processed by your brain, on a rare occasion, something happens where the light entering one eye is received slower by the brain than the other eye. So while your brain is processing information gathered from one eye it is then processing duplicate information from the other eye, offset/overlapped by and obviously small amount of time. This gives the illusion that you have seen/done something before.
OK, this might be a nitpick, but I gotta say this: from my understanding, the reason they were called "Looney Tunes" was because Warner was trying to find a way to show off their massive music catalogue, so they started an animation studio as a way to accompany the music with a visual medium. This not only explains why they were called "Looney *Tunes"* and "Merrie *Melodies"* but also why there were several cartoons set to famous classical pieces. The irony of this whole idea is that the cartoons became more popular than the music they were trying to promote lol
Measurement of light reflected from our tennis ball shows that the color is really green and yellow (or chartreuse). Shaded green and yellow regions represent generally accepted wavelength ranges for those colors. Parallel Universes: clues are all around us, think of all the weird things that should not exist and add them to time/travel and the parallel universe and you got all the signs you need.
4:48 I also thought he had died in prison because I heard it reported. Turns out the report was of someone ASSOCIATED with Mandela who died in prison and all of us were only half hearing the report. No one recognized the name of the other fellow and simply associated Mandela with the man who died in prison. And none of us followed Mandela regularly since there was no Internet yet.
I distinctly remember talking to my friend in 2012 about the death (by suicide) of Mark Fisher. Then I came to London, lived here for a couple of years near the place where Fisher was teaching all this time, and then discovered that he had killed himself in 2017 as I was living there. I have no explanation for this. That event still haunts me (to use Fisher's vocab).
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCI-FI SERIES IS/WAS "FRINGE" I HAD TO BUY IT AND IT CONTINUES TO AMAZE ME NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH IT AND GOING ON MY FOURTH GO AND THEY COVER EVERYTHING ON THE "FRINGE" OF REALITHY. THE PROYAGONIST ANNA TORV IS AN AMAZING ACTRESS AND HAD TO PLAY TWO PERSONALITIES BUT ACTUALLY THREE CUZ SHE HAD TO ALSO PLAY HERSELF.
My favorite Mandela effect is the Vader quote. I remember " Luke I am your father". I even saw James Earl Jones make a joke where the punchline was "Luke I am your father" and he voiced the character in the movies. However, the quote from the movie is "no I am your father"
A Mandela effect specific to the UK is the packaging colour of cheese and onion and salt and vinegar Walker’s crisps (potato chips). Some people believe the colours were originally Salt and Vinegar=Blue and Cheese and Onion= Green, and then, at some point the these were swapped without any announcement or explanation from Walker’s. Many people believe this, so much so that Walker’s have it in their FAQ section on their website. There is even a podcast specifically about this called The Walker’s Switch.
I'm not all that bright, and the whole interstellar quantum mechanics thing is way out of my wheelhouse... But I've always hypothesized that a black hole wasn't a hole of any kind. It's from an imploding star, you see stuff get sucked in, you can't see anything in the middle, and time warps around it, slowing as you get further in. To me, the best explanation would be the star is still there, crushed into what is essentially a diamond, and the more it absorbs, the bigger the diamond, and... the more it will absorb because that's what gravity does when things get too heavy/dense/big. The universe is most populated by carbon, so... what happens when a ton of carbon gets compressed? It would become something we couldn't see (or could see through) from this distance. As for MVT, I absolutely believe every single word... while I'm reading about it... Otherwise, nah. I want to believe it. It's cool... but no. I don't.
5:05 Listen. Anyone who has sat around the table of your extended family, and you are the teenager, you will say something you heard when you were younger about some relative and someone older is likely to correct your memory. Come on! Anyone who is human and has a family knows how faulty the memory can be.
I don't remember Mandela dying in prison. I remember his release. In 1954 there were photocopy machines. Where's this passport? I remember chartreuse exactly as you do. Deja Vu is when memories are created milliseconds before we perceive the event, giving us a false feeling of remembering.
While not even being close to the earliest, Robert Heinlein's "The Number of the Beast" is one of the more interesting earlier novels about parallel universes. It has a parallel novel found after Heinlein's death, "The Pursuit of the Pankera," with the same beginning but diverges somewhere in the middle into a totally different story.
12:18 honestly, my uneducated theory about the city in the sky is that it was a freak refraction event involving the water in the air and clouds somehow reflecting the skyline of a city on the ground. Kind of nature's version of "smoke and mirrors".
Unrelated to the video topic but omg I used to be so obsessed with Most Amazing Top 10 when I was a kid lol. Especially when they were in their golden age (2016/17-2019 ish at least for me I’d say). Never really hear much about them these days, need to go look at them at some point. I haven’t really watched them since they kinda had a resurgence during the pandemic when everyone was bored during lockdown. I know a lot of their team’s different now though. But gosh this video makes me think of simpler times!
The book (s) she mentioned in the beginning referred to Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy. It's a work of fiction based on the given that parallel universes exist and can be accessed through portals. It's basically an adventure story and is pretty dark in places, but it's a wonderful read if you're into that sort of thing. I loved it and everybody I know who's read it also loved it. And while I'm typing, may I say that I so approve of your presentational style. It's refreshingly calm, objective, and unobtrusive. You're a delight to watch and a delight to listen to, so I'm just about to subscribe.
I always enjoyed the TV show Sliders, about a genius guy who invents a device that allows him to "slide" to parallel universes, and his friends get taken along with him for the ride. It was a fun show. :)
The Berenstein Bears one convinces me of, or at least makes me believe in the possibility of parallel realities. Before learning about the Beren"STAIN" bears, I would've bet my life on the fact that it was spelled Berenstein. I was as certain of it as I am the faces of my immediate family members, and I first heard about the "change" when I was like 19-20.
As far as number 8 goes the most likely explanation is that the entire story about the mysterious man is apocryphal. Customs agent gets bored, spins a yarn for his family and/or co-workers.
The Paul is dead thing, was early days mass media weirdness, not marketing, that came much later. At least that's how I remember it lol, have a good one, keep up the good work.
In regards to the Mandela Effect, the two things I found most strange is the Berenstein Bears (Mrs. Pagan gave it to us as a extra credit spelling word in a 2nd grade spelling test), and the "You like me, you really like me!"
I never really cared about the fancier color names. Maybe I'm too simple, or maybe it's because I just can't picture colors in my head. I always used to roll my eyes when I'd hear other kids my age go on about the more obscure colors (meaning more obscure than the primary and secondary colors). I didn't realize I was missing out on an experience that it seems most people have.
In Star Trek Next Generation there are episodes where Multiverses play a role. Personally, I don't know what to make of it. All this has so many aspects that we basically know nothing about. Note I say "know", because knowing does not equal assuming or making fancy mathematical formulas. There is even the possibility the we all don't really exist, nor does what we believe to see of the universe exists. If that is true we will never find out.
As early as 1959 "Twilight Zone" episodes included concepts of Time Travel, Alternate Realities and Parallel Universes. As far as proof of the existence of any of this, well, it's hard to prove a negative. Most of the concepts in this video, however, are explainable as conspiracy theories, anecdotes, pseudo science or normal mental processes, as evidenced by her disclaimer "seems to suggest" which preface most of the examples. A great movie that postulates an alternate reality in which the Beatles never got together is "Yesterday."
A personal Mandela effect I recently discovered I have is that I could have sworn Dino De Laurentiis was a producer on 'Superman the Movie". Even now I have a clear memory of his name swooping in in blue during the opening credits, a "Presented by" credit.
That is my memory of chartreuse as well. It was akin to magenta as you said. I've NEVER had an experience that it is in the green/yellow family. One of the biggest ones for me is the genie movie called "Shazaam" starring the comedian Sinbad as the genie. I remember the movie vividly, but it's now suggested no such movie ever existed (I'm not confusing the Shaq movie called "Kazam". There was also Sinbad's movie as I recall).
Chic-fil-A Is my memory of the name of the restaurant chain. I even remember having a conversation about it with a friend, regarding how they used the play on words, etc. Nelson Mandela: I thought he died earlier, but I'm not sure about that memory.
11:36, I have an explanation for the Chinese city. The air was probably unusually clean that day, so they were able to see their own city and it's tall buildings for the first time, causing them to freak out.
Here's the thing that gets my with the Mandela effect. I've experienced alot of Mandela effects but with two of them I noticed the change myself before ever knowing what the Mandela effect was. The fruit of the loom logo, I saw a commercial with the 'new' logo that supposedly has always been and I was actually pissed that they changed the logo, I thought it was dumb to change it after so many years. Then the sideview mirrors, I used to read them and constantly see them when my Dad would drive me home from school, and the wording always struck me as odd. I clearly remember the wording "Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear." It just seemed odd to me how ambiguous the statement was.. One day, I think in 2016, I read a sideview mirror that said "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear", and I thought 'oh good they finally changed it'. I came to learn what the Mandela effect was later and that both of these have supposedly always been this way. I don't understand how I could incorrectly remember 2 things for 20+ years and then suddenly realize I was wrong, and it just so happens that those 2 things were misremembered by multitudes of other people. I mean if I was going to misremember somethings for 20+ years why would I suddenly finally realize it, and why didn't I ever notice I had misremembered it at any time in all those years. Sorry but it doesn't add up. If noone else was also misremembering it, it would still be an unprecedented occurrence for me, but I could chalk it up to some bizarre mind malfunction.. the fact that the only time this occurs is also when other people are having the same memory "malfunction" is just too much. I haven't heard any satisfactory explanations for what's going on here, to me it remains unexplained.
The Mandela effect is most likely a result of mass misremembering, due to a variation of reasons which are then reinforced by people misremembering doubling down on each other’s false memories. Like how everyone thought the famous line in Star Wars was “Luke, I am your father” by repeating the line wrong in pop culture for decades - but in fact the line is “No, I am your father”. A troubling thought that struck me just now is how this phenomenon can be weaponised. If you repeat false information to a large population enough times to where they will repeat it to each other..
The city in the sky has always intrigued me because Mother Nature doesn't "do" right angles very well and while some have called it a mirage, they have never provided the science to explain it - Here's another "mirage" video - The multiverse is more feasible than not - if the shape of universes were square, then we would have 6 areas in each universe that could "touch" at times - providing universes were stacked but it works the same for spheres, there are several areas per sphere that are touching each other, again if they were pressed against each other - a chance to permeate momentarily - I hope you enjoy because it's pretty "not a mirage" to me : ) th-cam.com/video/rSE1WdYngGA/w-d-xo.html
Memory is subject to so many influences, but fortunately we have archives scattered throughout the world that can be researched ,say for when did Mandela die. Also we have liquor stores where we can purchase a French libation named chartreuse.
Parallel universes, other universes, alternate universes, many worlds,... is very interesting theory, and maybe we are just one patch in a huge collection of patches, or one drop in the ocean of Universes. I like to think that what ever happens there will be a new Universe for every thing that didn't happen. And I think it's a infinite ocean of Universes, so what ever happens will happen in every way possible. Also I think that what ever you can imagine exists somewhere in our Universe or in some other Universe.
When I was 5 or younger...I saw ghosts...dressed in monk like garb...hooded, covering their face and long flowing robes, carrying candles and walking in single file, right to left atop the staircase in a second story hallway. I didnt know what ghost were so they did not scare me and were just a curiosity thing for me which I would witness as the sun would go down and it became darker and I could see them as they revealed themselves. Later in my life (age of 16) my sister would also confess to seeing and we shared stories confirming the exact descriptions we both had seen to be exactly identical. But upon drilling my mother with numerous question about the house and area I could not see any reason for "Satanical looking" monks to be inhabiting the house....My mom said the house was relatively new and they were first time occupants and there were know monasteries, churches or grave yards built in that area in the past...It was had been farm land or farmland since colonization. My only conclusion was another dimension or parallel universe as there was no other reason for them being there or I of seeing them.
I have zero issue with alternate/parallel universes/the multiverse, but am on the fence on whether they exist or not, let alone can anything pass between them. They are, for me, a better subject for the dalliance of science fiction authors than scientists (though I would be happy to know any scientist was doing research on them). I remain unconvinced by the 10 examples shown though the 'man from Taured" is probably the most appealing.
5:00 I heard a theory of de ja vu essentially being that the brain does hold memory of every experience and that one can come across a new situation that is reminiscent of a mix of extremely similar past experience which causes the feelings that you have been in this exact moment before. I tend to agree with this theory of déjà vu
The two Mandela effect proofs of parallel universes in this video are quite easy to explain. Firstly the Berenstain Bears is most likely due to the fact that most similar names do indeed end in the "Stein" suffix, thus making the "Stain" ending just seem strange. As for looney tunes, it is actually the logical continuation of the earlier merry melodies features. Yet most people think like this presenter "since they are cartoons they should be looney toons".
I first heard of the man from Taured from The Why files. As I recall he concluded that the story was completely fake and there was never any person who claimed to come from Taured. Regarding the Loony Toons story, how old to people remember the word Toon being? I can't remember the word Toon being used until I saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Also,, it seems as if nobody ever mentions Merrie Melodies any more, which was the other name that Warner Brothers released their cartoons under.
I remember Looney Toons. There were very few TV channels. On Saturday morning Looney Toons was on Channel 7 in DC. Cartoons were for the most part Only shown on Saturday mornings before noon. At noon the free movies started playing. This is not a misremember or suggested memory. This was part of my life every Saturday morning. I also remember Mandela dying in prison. It was all over the news for weeks. I saw it with my own eyes. I also could “smell what the Rock was cooking”.
The problem with The Mendella Effect is that people vastly overestimate the reliability of their own memory, and are then too stubborn to admit they are wrong.
I'm amazed that the "Luke, I am your father" one wasn't included as it's far more known than many others listed here... in fact I'm surprised it wasn't #1
I have a very clear memory of looking at my old Berenstain Bear children’s books that I grew up with and remember having the following thought: “Huh, is Berenstein like Albert Einstein? Is it pronounced like ‘steen’ ” or ‘stine’? Now tell me, why would I have been wondering that at all if it said stain? I knew how to pronounce stain already…
Sounds like you're mixing up 2 memories. Americans have no damn idea how to pronounce words or names consistently, different people both spelled "-stein" will give you different pronounciations of "steen" and "stine", but on paper it should just be "stine" (well "shtine" really), every time, it's german for "stone".
You should check out the TV show Sliders... Its about a college student who finds a way to cross the Einstein-Rosen bridge and travel Parallel Earths but they get stuck and can't get back to the prime Earth
Multiverses, idk. I think they make a useful literary tool. It gives you freedom to explore different story lines while still keeping some sort of continuity in your character's main arcs. Out side of that I'm skeptical. Let's say I wouldn't be surprised if the theory came from extrapolating some mathematical description of infinitely branching possibility across time. But just because something can be described by math doesn't make it real. I'm open to the idea, but I feel like it would be more likely that any undiscovered dimensions would have more to do with the interactions of forces in this universe that we inhabit.
I remember when I was a teenager I saw a movie and could tell you every line from it that didn't come out till years later... no one believed me of course. Recently I had another deja vu gaming with a friend of mine that I had never played with before, also another is when I was a teenager I lived in an apartment and my family and I went to the neighbour downstairs and had dinner but everyone is adamant it never happened but I remember everything about that day.
The berenstein/stain one freaked me out the first time I ever heard it because I remember putting my old book reports from elementary school at my parents’ house. I went thru looking at them one day and sure enough I spelt it Berenstein in the reports but the actual books that were saved are all spelled Berenstain. Makes me wonder why my teachers never corrected me.
When media looks to sensationalize stories the wording can be striking. Especially before the internet and 'clickbait' awareness. If the wording can be misleadingly open ended and later news never gets the coverage the original story does, then it's very possible for many to misinterpret their memory on some 'obscure' situation. I was always a fan of C-3PO's silver leg that many overlook until pointed out, then it's "Wasn't that always gold?".
our memories are not reliable. our brains are really great at filling in the details. so we can make up memories so well to the point where we believe them to be true.
I had a workmate named Ron, but I kept thinking about him as, and calling him, Ray. It annoyed him. Parallel universes can really mess up social relationships.

I think the reason why a lot of people kind of remember chartreuse as being reddish/pinkish is because it's associated with wine (well, it's technically a French liquor). And when "wine" is mentioned, the first thing that pops into mind (for me at least) is the red stuff. Also, it does sound like a type of wine to people that aren't really familiar with wines, like me. 😅
Fuchsia is the color of the Fuchsia plant similar to magenta. Easy to see the mix up with Chartreuse .
i had the same thing with chartreuse, but this was long ago. i was getting fish bait when i was about 17 in the mid 90s, and i looked at the chartreuse colored fishing bait, and it was a neon yellow/green, and i distinctly remember thinking, they must have put the wrong labels on these, it should be that pinkish red color. Just now, watching this vid, is the first time I've heard of this particular Mandela switch up. so that blows my mind.
but also, Berenstein was what i always remembered..
I always thought chartreuse was a kind of aqua, blue/green color. Live and learn. Lol
My literary recommendation for kinda parallel universes kinda time travel is "Mother of Learning".
It has a Groundhog Day style time loop in a fantasy setting (with magic), but it aims to cover all the logical consequences.
I just tried to find out more about you. You have a very curious mind and i was thinking you'll either be in sciences or be a professor of some sort. When i clicked on your "About" tab i noticed you have not been on youtube for a year yet, another 18 days to go. That's so impressive to have 74k subscribers in under a year. This is such a great channel, you're doing an amzing job!
I too have experienced the chartreuse ‘colour change’! Always thought it was pink red or something like fruit juice and was very stunned when I was corrected. Didn’t even know this was a Mandela effect. Thanks!
Me too! A quick google search turned up a pinky purple rose called a "Chartreuse de Parme". Is that closer to the colour you remember?
@@ravenward626 yep!!
I worked in the retail clothing industry and discovered to my shock at about the age of 30 something that chartreuse wasn't magenta but greeny yellow.
Same, didn't think about it until I was looking for fishing lures and all these green lures showed up. Confusing.
My favorite Mandela Effect example is Darth Vaders famous line to Luke in the Empire Strikes Back. Even James Earl Jones seems to have misremembered the line as he erroneously quoted it as, “Luke, I am your father” in a TV interview.
My family used to go shopping in a town near us..we used to pass a old manor house that my mum was really envious of and one day it was engulfed in fire, i was young and excited to see the fire engines and stuff on the way home and my parents also wanted to know what happened so we did are shopping and headed home..the house was perfect and i was disappointed, my older sister and parents very confused! My dad looked into it and it had never had any fires in it's history.
Deja Vu was something I'd experience multiple times per year when I was a kid (teens-twenties). But as I got older it went away and I haven't experienced it for many years. This made me curious, so sometimes I'd ask people when the last time they had Deja Vu was, and strangely enough older people would always say something like "It's been so many years I don't even remember." But when you ask someone younger they'd always say recently. I wonder if it just has something to do with our brain still developing when we're younger.
The older you get, the more alternate yous die. ;)
Back to the science though: not sure if your Doctor will still tell you this but- apparently if you have deja-vu far more often than usual all of a sudden you should get a check up. It may be a sign of a neurological issue related to potentially fatal conditions, brain bleeds, tumors etcetera.
*Caveat: this may have been debunked & I didn't mean to panic anyone, so don't quote me on it.
I had not noticed the drop off of Deja Vu as people get older. It sounds like a legitimate observation to me. I've heard about the idea that dreams are you brain simulating potential futures to prepare you for different possibilities. I buy that idea. I think that Deja Vu is when you're in a situation you dreamt of. I also recall my mother when I was fairly young saying that she was doing laundry even in her dreams. It wasn't long after that that her dreams kinda faded into not being remembered after she woke up. So perhaps when a person is settled and in a routine and there is less need to simulate potential futures as there once was, dreams diminish, and if they are linked like I think, that could be why Deja Vu diminishes over time as well.
I knew you were going to say that :)
@@grabtharshammer Could have sworn you just said the same thing on another video Laird...🧐
So, the Man from Taured is actually an urban legend. It's based on a man named John Zegrus, an alleged document forger arrested by Japanese police in 1960, who went on to be the subject of varying stories about a man from an unknown country, detained in Japan, culminating in the story told in the video.
I figured that was the case. For every one of these examples, there’s a much less outlandish explanation, like the Mandela effect being a great example of how terrible and inaccurate human memory actually is, deja-vu essentially being a brain fart etc etc, but folk love the fantastical over reality 😂 while I find the actual reasons far more fascinating
@@eZTarg8mk2 I prefer reality as well. Especially since if you start thinking deeply about reality, it's not that reality isn't fascinating, it's that we don't appreciate it. I mean how absolutely bonkers it is that this one universe that we know of even exists. And you mean to tell me that a bunch of dead matter swirling around somehow produced a living thing? Frankly, I find existence of life and consciousness to be more fantastical than any of these stories.
Nahh that false it’s obv a cover up story
I remember reading about that guy in Japan. Back in the late '90s while surfing the web from a library computer.
I kinda enjoyed Off to be the Wizard by Scott Meyers. The basic premise is that magic is real, but the wizards are all basically hackers tweaking the code of reality :) It's not really a pinnacle of literature and falls flat in a lot of aspects, but I read every book in the series and had fun.
Identify Theft is not a Joke Dwight!
Hey!
I have to say that the Mandela effect is one of the biggest "wtf" moments of my life. I VERY VIVIDLY recall being taught about Mandela in 4th grade at the same time I was taught about Gandhi, as people who took a stance for their own country, and they were dead at the time (1999). I also saw this in multiple documentaries.
Additionally, I also vividly recall reading a book about South African apartheid in 2002 in English classes where Mandela was VERY dead. I can't recall the exact name of the book but it spoke about his journey, his imprisonment and death.
When I heard that Mandela was about to die in 2013 (and the funeral part) I literally froze. I'm from South America and have no particular interest in Mandela whatsoever; the guy was 100% dead for all I knew; to this day I find it extremely hard to believe he wasn't dead.
The term "Mandela effect" was not coined until some time later; I thought I was crazy for some time until I came across this and figured I was not alone lol.
No Protocol looks incredibly stunning today! Her smile is breath taking. Today is great day!
A plausible explanation for the Mandella effect is based on the fact that neurons that fire together wire together, and another member of the ANC who at the time was as notable as Mandella had died in prison in the 80s.
And since episodic memory is reconstructive in nature, a person's attempt to recall the ANC member who died also triggers Mandella, but being much more notable as a president of South Africa while forgetting the ANC member who died in prison is recalled as the person who died.
The best example in Sci-Fi of parallel universes, time travel, etc is Fringe (TV Show produced by FOX 2008-20013 101 episodes) the best Sci-Fi TV show ever made. The show explores so many more ideas than that, but parallel universes is at the core of the show.
Another example of an apparent Mandela effect happens with people referencing the Stockholm syndrome as the Helsinki syndrome. It happened after the popular movie Die Hard where the writers made that mistake and then the movie ended up being so popular that many people actually heard about what Stockholm syndrome is with the wrong term.
Considering I once had an hour long Deja Vu experience where I was hyper aware of it, I believe it is basically just a repeat of the current moment just a few milliseconds after it happens - Like a stutter or something. Because you can never predict the next thing to happen, no matter how long it goes on. After all, we never experience the moment anyways. Anything hitting the senses has already happened by the time we perceive it.
I sometimes can predict what happens when theres a 'deja vu' ongoing, like '...now this person wearing *bla bla* will pass in front of me...' and it does, things like that, confirming that i've seen this scene happening before in the exact same way, but who knows, the brain is weird
@@LucasWIZONE I'd advise seeing a doctor about your mental state.
I had the same color (purplish red) in my head for chartreuse. I'm in my 50's, you are much younger, so this phenomenon has been around for a while. But, when I asked my mother, in her 80's, she immediately said yellowish green. 🤷
The modern explanation for deja vu actually makes more sense: a short term (immediate) memory that accidentally got stored in your long term memory.. like a memory hiccup or something.
The thing about Mandela isn't just in looking back and getting it wrong. It's that when his release was reported, the reaction was, "But, you told us he died."
There was no internet to speak of in 1990, so we couldn't call out the media on their BS or pull up old reports back then.
"The Demons at Rainbow Bridge", Jack L. Chalker has an interesting take on multiverse, big bang mechanism, and beyond the edge or the universe. (SciFi/Fantasy)
Sean Carroll of Caltech is a great source for the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. I highly recommend his 2019 book, "Something Deeply Hidden."
According To Chat GPT: The original spelling of the series was "Looney Tunes" when it debuted in 1930. The name was a parody of "Silly Symphonies," a popular series of musical cartoons produced by Walt Disney Productions at the time. However, in 1936, the spelling was changed to "Looney Toons" before being changed back to "Looney Tunes" later that same year, which has been the standard spelling ever since.....The children's book series is officially called "The Berenstain Bears," but many people remember it being spelled as "The Berenstein Bears" with an "e" instead of an "a." This phenomenon is known as the "Mandela Effect," and the likely explanation is that the uncommon name "Berenstain" led to people assuming it was spelled differently, along with the pronunciation of the name with a long "i" sound. The official spelling is "The Berenstain Bears."
That back drop is amazing wow all those amazing musicians in one!
I've had a few experiences. I was asked to write a story and take photos for an advertising feature. It was at an old and rambling inn in a quaint town. I'd driven by many times and it was an impressive sight -- old, Victorian, four storeys and massive. When the owner met me and welcomed me inside, the instant I walked in the big front doors I knew I'd been there before and could remember every room in the original structure. There was a more recent addition to the building but it wasn't part of my memories. Deja Vu? Parallel universe? Another time I was driving my car from work, cross country on old winding roads to meet my wife at her inlaws' place. I had $5 which was meant for fuel for the car which was on empty when I left. The trip was roughly two hours long and before I could stop for fuel, I picked up an old man who was hitchhiking. We talked and I found out he'd been on the road for days heading for what he hoped was work. He'd slept in woods and ditches and hadn't eaten for three days. He had an old duffle bag with his worldly possessions. We came to a little canteen/takeout in the middle of nowhere and I gave him the $5 and told him to go inside and buy a hamburger. He came out with a loaf of bread and some peanut butter and a plastic knife and that had taken all of the money. I dropped him off on the road he needed to take and drove another hour to meet my wife. The car was still on empty and when I filled it up (after going to an ATM which were few and far between back in those days) the next morning it took a full tank. How I drove for two hours on an empty tank I have no idea.
i got here early tooday! Nice
I'm totally with you on the color Chartreuse, and I'm a lot older than you and until watching this video I never had seen Chartreuse as a yellow-green or greenish color ever before in my life.
You need to watch, Time-lapse to the Future A Journey to the End of Time. It's one of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. Keep up the great work, Love your channel 🙂
The thing with the mandella effect, is I'm aware that for the Berenstein Bears.... people have found *_ACTUAL_* official books/videos with the _Alternative_ spelling. Now that could easily be a typo that didn't get noticed, etc. .... but still.....
And I think there was a newspaper that reported on Mandella's *_Early_* death, not sure how that could have gotten mixed up... so... yeah...
The M.E or Mandela Effect is more of like where about 65% of people which are deeply Intune with pop culture enough to even notice when a change has taken place right off the bat without even 2nd guessing, I believe the key factor is the subconscious mind storing that particular piece of pop culture (like how we have nostalgia linking us to a direct memory associated with that piece of pop culture) like a photograph and its details and sending signals to our consciousness automatically that there is something different about what we remember. I do agree that there are plenty of other cases where misremembering certain Mandela effects are possible but then again who are we to debate about what somebody remembers or doesn't?
All I know is Brittney Spears was wearing a plaid skirt in the "Baby One More Time" music video and not all black.
For me two things I remember "incorrectly" I was born in 83 growing up my mum drove a VW beetle, (also in the 90s I lived in a hippy town where VWs were extremely common even having a VW parade every year) i remember the V and W being connected which is apparently not the case now, the other case is growing up playing monopoly, the monopoly guy definitely had a monocle....
Is your throat alright? I been watching for a while and just been curious
imo most of the mandela effects just come from different localizations or chinese knockoffs. I've seen a lot of "looney toons" , "Luke, I am your father" or wrong color pikachu merch as a kid.
"His Dark Materials is a trilogy of fantasy novels by Philip Pullman..." Wikipedia
It's some good reading. The parallel universes aren't a central thing in the story to begin with, so don't start reading it expecting dimension jumping from the start. It's more that it gets established that they exist as you read. I had much fun reading it before I realised that we had parallel worlds.
Not that I'm an expert on fictional parallel worlds, but Clive Barker's Imajica from 1991 is both his and my favorite of his novels. This is fantasy rather than sci-fi, with Earth as one "dominion" among four others. It can be seen as five worlds only accessible through magic, so not sure if parallel *universes* is the right term. But it has the same result anyway.
As I'm writing about worlds inaccessible for mere normal humans, I have to mention the trilogy C. S. Lewis wrote before he got stuck in Narnia; Out of the Silent Planet (1938), Perelandra (1943) and That Hideous Strength (1945). Not at all about parallel universes, but a very interesting take on sci-fi mixed up with some of Lewis' corny new age religion. The books are *very* different and I almost gave up on book two, until I recognised a lot of similarities to some things in Lord of the Rings. (Lewis and Tolkien were friends and often discussed their writing.) So now I almost want to credit LotR to Lewis in some parts. I think it is worth a read though, even if I saw the second book as a hurdle, where the worlds in our system is inhabited by other people and ruled by higher powers.
I mention it mostly because in both Imajica and here, Earth is isolated from the other worlds that all have knowledge of each other.
For more parallel universe fun, watch the TV series Fringe (2008-2013).
I remember Mandela died. I remember thinking it was a shame he never got out of prison. I was working the 7am shift at work. I remember watching his funeral start on cnn. I had to turn it off and rush to work. Years later my mom and brother were talking about how he had been released from prison. I told them he had died and they were confused about it, as was I. I’ve seen a few reports on the news of famous people passing away only to see them on tv alive 2 or 3 years later.
I thought he did too. I remember it being a Huge deal, in either the late '80's, early '90's. Like a HUGE deal.
@@michaelmoore5928 Biko died in September of 1977. Far before cnn even came on the air. Plus I was too young to work yet in 77. I specifically remember it occurring in 1988 -89 and hearing about it on cnn. I was also working by then too. Plus, as stated, I started watching Mandela’s funeral on cnn too. Many times I’ve wished that I popped a tape in the VCR before going to work that day.
I have that same thought about putting the tape in the VCR because i remember my grandpa crying the day Mandela died in prison.. turned out it didn't happen that way?
@@TransoceanicOutreach well since you’re so sure of the complexities of dimensional boundaries and physics and other sciences, and are obviously perfectly qualified to tell people you’ve never met that they didn’t experience what they experienced and couldn’t be right because it doesn’t match what you think…arrogant much?
@@PatrickMersinger Kinda ironic from the person who swears they're right and recorded history is wrong. Not trying to attack you but honestly this whole phenomenon to me has always seemed like people were ready to look for the most far fetched possible explanation possible rather than admitting their brain might be imperfectly recollecting things (a known and proven phenomenon beyond the Mandela Effect).
I remember Mandela dying in prison years earlier than he actually did, but I think this is attributed to him getting really sick and one news outlet mistakenly reporting that he died or was near death. I don't remember anything else except saying to myself "I thought he already died" after he really did. The same thing happened to me with the soccer player Pele'.
I remember that chartreuse thing, too :D
6:16 Human memory is reconstructive, so rather than just pull up a file like a computer would, it literally pieces it back together each time, meaning they you will never quite remember something exactly the same way twice, especially if a lot of time has passed between recalls. This could go some way to explaining the Mandela effect, as well as a combination of generally accepted misquotes (in the case of Star Wars, the line is “no, I am your father” and not “Luke, I am your father” as so many people think it is) and different pronunciations (in some accents, tunes and toons sound almost identical, for example).
From what I understand, the phenomenon of "Dejavu" is actually caused from a minor delay in messaging to your brain. When light enters your eyes and then processed by your brain, on a rare occasion, something happens where the light entering one eye is received slower by the brain than the other eye. So while your brain is processing information gathered from one eye it is then processing duplicate information from the other eye, offset/overlapped by and obviously small amount of time. This gives the illusion that you have seen/done something before.
Tape on neck scar? Why?
OK, this might be a nitpick, but I gotta say this: from my understanding, the reason they were called "Looney Tunes" was because Warner was trying to find a way to show off their massive music catalogue, so they started an animation studio as a way to accompany the music with a visual medium. This not only explains why they were called "Looney *Tunes"* and "Merrie *Melodies"* but also why there were several cartoons set to famous classical pieces. The irony of this whole idea is that the cartoons became more popular than the music they were trying to promote lol
Just found your channel yesterday. Addicted already
Measurement of light reflected from our tennis ball shows that the color is really green and yellow (or chartreuse). Shaded green and yellow regions represent generally accepted wavelength ranges for those colors.
Parallel Universes: clues are all around us, think of all the weird things that should not exist and add them to time/travel and the parallel universe and you got all the signs you need.
4:48 I also thought he had died in prison because I heard it reported. Turns out the report was of someone ASSOCIATED with Mandela who died in prison and all of us were only half hearing the report. No one recognized the name of the other fellow and simply associated Mandela with the man who died in prison. And none of us followed Mandela regularly since there was no Internet yet.
I distinctly remember talking to my friend in 2012 about the death (by suicide) of Mark Fisher. Then I came to London, lived here for a couple of years near the place where Fisher was teaching all this time, and then discovered that he had killed himself in 2017 as I was living there. I have no explanation for this. That event still haunts me (to use Fisher's vocab).
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCI-FI SERIES IS/WAS "FRINGE" I HAD TO BUY IT AND IT CONTINUES TO AMAZE ME NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH IT AND GOING ON MY FOURTH GO AND THEY COVER EVERYTHING ON THE "FRINGE" OF REALITHY.

My favorite Mandela effect is the Vader quote. I remember " Luke I am your father". I even saw James Earl Jones make a joke where the punchline was "Luke I am your father" and he voiced the character in the movies. However, the quote from the movie is "no I am your father"
A Mandela effect specific to the UK is the packaging colour of cheese and onion and salt and vinegar Walker’s crisps (potato chips).
Some people believe the colours were originally Salt and Vinegar=Blue and Cheese and Onion= Green, and then, at some point the these were swapped without any announcement or explanation from Walker’s.
Many people believe this, so much so that Walker’s have it in their FAQ section on their website.
There is even a podcast specifically about this called The Walker’s Switch.

Oh. I've watched this video. Interesting pick.
I'm not all that bright, and the whole interstellar quantum mechanics thing is way out of my wheelhouse... But I've always hypothesized that a black hole wasn't a hole of any kind. It's from an imploding star, you see stuff get sucked in, you can't see anything in the middle, and time warps around it, slowing as you get further in. To me, the best explanation would be the star is still there, crushed into what is essentially a diamond, and the more it absorbs, the bigger the diamond, and... the more it will absorb because that's what gravity does when things get too heavy/dense/big. The universe is most populated by carbon, so... what happens when a ton of carbon gets compressed? It would become something we couldn't see (or could see through) from this distance.
As for MVT, I absolutely believe every single word... while I'm reading about it... Otherwise, nah. I want to believe it. It's cool... but no. I don't.
5:05 Listen. Anyone who has sat around the table of your extended family, and you are the teenager, you will say something you heard when you were younger about some relative and someone older is likely to correct your memory.

Deja Vu is when memories are created milliseconds before we perceive the event, giving us a false feeling of remembering.
While not even being close to the earliest, Robert Heinlein's "The Number of the Beast" is one of the more interesting earlier novels about parallel universes. It has a parallel novel found after Heinlein's death, "The Pursuit of the Pankera," with the same beginning but diverges somewhere in the middle into a totally different story.
12:18 honestly, my uneducated theory about the city in the sky is that it was a freak refraction event involving the water in the air and clouds somehow reflecting the skyline of a city on the ground. Kind of nature's version of "smoke and mirrors".
Unrelated to the video topic but omg I used to be so obsessed with Most Amazing Top 10 when I was a kid lol. Especially when they were in their golden age (2016/17-2019 ish at least for me I’d say). Never really hear much about them these days, need to go look at them at some point. I haven’t really watched them since they kinda had a resurgence during the pandemic when everyone was bored during lockdown. I know a lot of their team’s different now though. But gosh this video makes me think of simpler times!
The book (s) she mentioned in the beginning referred to Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy. It's a work of fiction based on the given that parallel universes exist and can be accessed through portals. It's basically an adventure story and is pretty dark in places, but it's a wonderful read if you're into that sort of thing. I loved it and everybody I know who's read it also loved it.
And while I'm typing, may I say that I so approve of your presentational style. It's refreshingly calm, objective, and unobtrusive. You're a delight to watch and a delight to listen to, so I'm just about to subscribe.
I always enjoyed the TV show Sliders, about a genius guy who invents a device that allows him to "slide" to parallel universes, and his friends get taken along with him for the ride. It was a fun show. :)
The Berenstein Bears one convinces me of, or at least makes me believe in the possibility of parallel realities. Before learning about the Beren"STAIN" bears, I would've bet my life on the fact that it was spelled Berenstein. I was as certain of it as I am the faces of my immediate family members, and I first heard about the "change" when I was like 19-20.
It's one of the easiest to explain though. People are just used to names ending in -stein, not -stain.
4:55 the FACT that placebos work makes ANYTHING , possible.
As far as number 8 goes the most likely explanation is that the entire story about the mysterious man is apocryphal. Customs agent gets bored, spins a yarn for his family and/or co-workers.
The Paul is dead thing, was early days mass media weirdness, not marketing, that came much later. At least that's how I remember it lol, have a good one, keep up the good work.
In regards to the Mandela Effect, the two things I found most strange is the Berenstein Bears (Mrs. Pagan gave it to us as a extra credit spelling word in a 2nd grade spelling test), and the "You like me, you really like me!"
I never really cared about the fancier color names. Maybe I'm too simple, or maybe it's because I just can't picture colors in my head. I always used to roll my eyes when I'd hear other kids my age go on about the more obscure colors (meaning more obscure than the primary and secondary colors). I didn't realize I was missing out on an experience that it seems most people have.
I really enjoy your content, you're so charming, articulate, and intelligent you have a beautiful smile to. 🙂

Personally, I don't know what to make of it. All this has so many aspects that we basically know nothing about. Note I say "know", because knowing does not equal assuming or making fancy mathematical formulas.
There is even the possibility the we all don't really exist, nor does what we believe to see of the universe exists. If that is true we will never find out.
As early as 1959 "Twilight Zone" episodes included concepts of Time Travel, Alternate Realities and Parallel Universes.
As far as proof of the existence of any of this, well, it's hard to prove a negative. Most of the concepts in this video, however, are explainable as conspiracy theories, anecdotes, pseudo science or normal mental processes, as evidenced by her disclaimer "seems to suggest" which preface most of the examples.
A great movie that postulates an alternate reality in which the Beatles never got together is "Yesterday."
I've been hearing the 'Paul is dead' conspiracy for decades. It goes along great with the 'Elvis is alive' conspiracy.
A personal Mandela effect I recently discovered I have is that I could have sworn Dino De Laurentiis was a producer on 'Superman the Movie". Even now I have a clear memory of his name swooping in in blue during the opening credits, a "Presented by" credit.
That is my memory of chartreuse as well. It was akin to magenta as you said. I've NEVER had an experience that it is in the green/yellow family. One of the biggest ones for me is the genie movie called "Shazaam" starring the comedian Sinbad as the genie. I remember the movie vividly, but it's now suggested no such movie ever existed (I'm not confusing the Shaq movie called "Kazam". There was also Sinbad's movie as I recall).
For your Chartreuse colour memory, try checking the colour Cerise. Maybe it was just conflation based on similar sounds.
Chic-fil-A Is my memory of the name of the restaurant chain. I even remember having a conversation about it with a friend, regarding how they used the play on words, etc. Nelson Mandela: I thought he died earlier, but I'm not sure about that memory.
11:36, I have an explanation for the Chinese city. The air was probably unusually clean that day, so they were able to see their own city and it's tall buildings for the first time, causing them to freak out.
You mentioned Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I really enjoyed that - fairly easy to suspend disbelief, and pretty interesting.
Here's the thing that gets my with the Mandela effect. I've experienced alot of Mandela effects but with two of them I noticed the change myself before ever knowing what the Mandela effect was. The fruit of the loom logo, I saw a commercial with the 'new' logo that supposedly has always been and I was actually pissed that they changed the logo, I thought it was dumb to change it after so many years. Then the sideview mirrors, I used to read them and constantly see them when my Dad would drive me home from school, and the wording always struck me as odd. I clearly remember the wording "Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear." It just seemed odd to me how ambiguous the statement was.. One day, I think in 2016, I read a sideview mirror that said "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear", and I thought 'oh good they finally changed it'. I came to learn what the Mandela effect was later and that both of these have supposedly always been this way. I don't understand how I could incorrectly remember 2 things for 20+ years and then suddenly realize I was wrong, and it just so happens that those 2 things were misremembered by multitudes of other people. I mean if I was going to misremember somethings for 20+ years why would I suddenly finally realize it, and why didn't I ever notice I had misremembered it at any time in all those years. Sorry but it doesn't add up. If noone else was also misremembering it, it would still be an unprecedented occurrence for me, but I could chalk it up to some bizarre mind malfunction.. the fact that the only time this occurs is also when other people are having the same memory "malfunction" is just too much. I haven't heard any satisfactory explanations for what's going on here, to me it remains unexplained.
The Mandela effect is most likely a result of mass misremembering, due to a variation of reasons which are then reinforced by people misremembering doubling down on each other’s false memories.
Like how everyone thought the famous line in Star Wars was “Luke, I am your father” by repeating the line wrong in pop culture for decades - but in fact the line is “No, I am your father”.
A troubling thought that struck me just now is how this phenomenon can be weaponised. If you repeat false information to a large population enough times to where they will repeat it to each other..
The city in the sky has always intrigued me because Mother Nature doesn't "do" right angles very well and while some have called it a mirage, they have never provided the science to explain it - Here's another "mirage" video - The multiverse is more feasible than not - if the shape of universes were square, then we would have 6 areas in each universe that could "touch" at times - providing universes were stacked but it works the same for spheres, there are several areas per sphere that are touching each other, again if they were pressed against each other - a chance to permeate momentarily - I hope you enjoy because it's pretty "not a mirage" to me : ) th-cam.com/video/rSE1WdYngGA/w-d-xo.html
Memory is subject to so many influences, but fortunately we have archives scattered throughout the world that can be researched ,say for when did Mandela die. Also we have liquor stores where we can purchase a French libation named chartreuse.
I've never heard the chartreuse thing before but yes! If you asked me, I would say it's a pink/purple color. It's definitely not yellow.
Parallel universes, other universes, alternate universes, many worlds,... is very interesting theory, and maybe we are just one patch in a huge collection of patches, or one drop in the ocean of Universes.
I like to think that what ever happens there will be a new Universe for every thing that didn't happen. And I think it's a infinite ocean of Universes, so what ever happens will happen in every way possible.
Also I think that what ever you can imagine exists somewhere in our Universe or in some other Universe.
When I was 5 or younger...I saw ghosts...dressed in monk like garb...hooded, covering their face and long flowing robes, carrying candles and walking in single file, right to left atop the staircase in a second story hallway.
I didnt know what ghost were so they did not scare me and were just a curiosity thing for me which I would witness as the sun would go down and it became darker and I could see them as they revealed themselves.
Later in my life (age of 16) my sister would also confess to seeing and we shared stories confirming the exact descriptions we both had seen to be exactly identical.
But upon drilling my mother with numerous question about the house and area I could not see any reason for "Satanical looking" monks to be inhabiting the house....My mom said the house was relatively new and they were first time occupants and there were know monasteries, churches or grave yards built in that area in the past...It was had been farm land or farmland since colonization.
My only conclusion was another dimension or parallel universe as there was no other reason for them being there or I of seeing them.
I have zero issue with alternate/parallel universes/the multiverse, but am on the fence on whether they exist or not, let alone can anything pass between them. They are, for me, a better subject for the dalliance of science fiction authors than scientists (though I would be happy to know any scientist was doing research on them).
I remain unconvinced by the 10 examples shown though the 'man from Taured" is probably the most appealing.
I think the series she meant is just called Dark (Netflix), but if not, it's a solid watch that fits that profile.
5:00 I heard a theory of de ja vu essentially being that the brain does hold memory of every experience and that one can come across a new situation that is reminiscent of a mix of extremely similar past experience which causes the feelings that you have been in this exact moment before. I tend to agree with this theory of déjà vu
I'm an artist and 1000% remember chartreuse being magenta. I've never seen that yellow color until this video.
Well. It has got it's name from a french green-yellowish liqour...so you 1000% remember it wrong ;)
The two Mandela effect proofs of parallel universes in this video are quite easy to explain. Firstly the Berenstain Bears is most likely due to the fact that most similar names do indeed end in the "Stein" suffix, thus making the "Stain" ending just seem strange. As for looney tunes, it is actually the logical continuation of the earlier merry melodies features. Yet most people think like this presenter "since they are cartoons they should be looney toons".
A 1 second intro. Love her haha
I first heard of the man from Taured from The Why files. As I recall he concluded that the story was completely fake and there was never any person who claimed to come from Taured.
Regarding the Loony Toons story, how old to people remember the word Toon being? I can't remember the word Toon being used until I saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Also,, it seems as if nobody ever mentions Merrie Melodies any more, which was the other name that Warner Brothers released their cartoons under.
I remember Looney Toons. There were very few TV channels. On Saturday morning Looney Toons was on Channel 7 in DC. Cartoons were for the most part Only shown on Saturday mornings before noon. At noon the free movies started playing. This is not a misremember or suggested memory. This was part of my life every Saturday morning. I also remember Mandela dying in prison. It was all over the news for weeks. I saw it with my own eyes. I also could “smell what the Rock was cooking”.
The problem with The Mendella Effect is that people vastly overestimate the reliability of their own memory, and are then too stubborn to admit they are wrong.
I'm amazed that the "Luke, I am your father" one wasn't included as it's far more known than many others listed here... in fact I'm surprised it wasn't #1
I have a very clear memory of looking at my old Berenstain Bear children’s books that I grew up with and remember having the following thought:
“Huh, is Berenstein like Albert Einstein? Is it pronounced like ‘steen’ ” or ‘stine’?
Now tell me, why would I have been wondering that at all if it said stain? I knew how to pronounce stain already…
Sounds like you're mixing up 2 memories. Americans have no damn idea how to pronounce words or names consistently, different people both spelled "-stein" will give you different pronounciations of "steen" and "stine", but on paper it should just be "stine" (well "shtine" really), every time, it's german for "stone".
The Winged Beatle "documentary" (it's on youtube in several parts) about Paul McCartney and The Beatles is pretty interesting.
You should check out the TV show Sliders... Its about a college student who finds a way to cross the Einstein-Rosen bridge and travel Parallel Earths but they get stuck and can't get back to the prime Earth
very cool looking rashguard
Multiverses, idk. I think they make a useful literary tool. It gives you freedom to explore different story lines while still keeping some sort of continuity in your character's main arcs.
Out side of that I'm skeptical. Let's say I wouldn't be surprised if the theory came from extrapolating some mathematical description of infinitely branching possibility across time. But just because something can be described by math doesn't make it real. I'm open to the idea, but I feel like it would be more likely that any undiscovered dimensions would have more to do with the interactions of forces in this universe that we inhabit.
I remember when I was a teenager I saw a movie and could tell you every line from it that didn't come out till years later... no one believed me of course.
Recently I had another deja vu gaming with a friend of mine that I had never played with before, also another is when I was a teenager I lived in an apartment and my family and I went to the neighbour downstairs and had dinner but everyone is adamant it never happened but I remember everything about that day.
The berenstein/stain one freaked me out the first time I ever heard it because I remember putting my old book reports from elementary school at my parents’ house. I went thru looking at them one day and sure enough I spelt it Berenstein in the reports but the actual books that were saved are all spelled Berenstain. Makes me wonder why my teachers never corrected me.
When media looks to sensationalize stories the wording can be striking. Especially before the internet and 'clickbait' awareness. If the wording can be misleadingly open ended and later news never gets the coverage the original story does, then it's very possible for many to misinterpret their memory on some 'obscure' situation. I was always a fan of C-3PO's silver leg that many overlook until pointed out, then it's "Wasn't that always gold?".
our memories are not reliable. our brains are really great at filling in the details. so we can make up memories so well to the point where we believe them to be true.
really cool topic & shirt
I had a workmate named Ron, but I kept thinking about him as, and calling him, Ray. It annoyed him.
Parallel universes can really mess up social relationships.
