Mandela Effect
Now, the world was divided. And confused because of the things it heard about Mandela’s death being already observed. And it was the Writer and paranormal consultant Fiona Broome who put forth a theory called ‘The Mandela Effect.’ In which she explained why such a weird thing was happening. According to her, such ‘false memories’ are nothing but glimpses into the parallel worlds. She said that people told her about a variety of odd conflicts between their vivid memories and the world they were currently living in.
Some scientists call this phenomenon ‘cognitive dissonance’, which is defined as mental stress experienced by individuals who hold their own unique beliefs, ideas, and values and have confronted beliefs, ideas, and values that contradict their own. This in simple words seems like a person meeting another person who questioned and disagreed with his/her ideologies. And ideologies referring to specific the ones that were the driving force of his action in his life. Or that which actually were important to him/her.
The theories similar to these are unending, and answers it yields are- none. Whatever might be the reasons for The Mandela Effect, but this is a phenomena where you experience or feel that the something like this has happened before. It makes people rethink their own realities and one is sure to get excited enough to dig even deeper into the mystery to form his/her theory. And if you do not believe me? Try it for yourself!
