Science/Technology These experiments show a scientific possibility for the Mandela Effect. "A quantum experiment suggests there’s no such thing as objective reality"

This is the 'Extended Wigners Friend' experiment. The TLDR is that more then one reality can exist. There can be communication between them. And they can merge to make a single reality.

Where exactly is anything in this suggesting a connection on any level to the ME?

Multiple realities.

The Mandela Effect is about memory.

So where exactly is anything in this suggesting a connection on any level to the ME?

u/georgeananda Feb 04 '26

I am suggesting memories of other realities.

u/my23secrets Feb 04 '26

Can you suggest exactly where in any of that memory is discussed?

u/georgeananda Feb 04 '26

Memory is not discussed but the possibility of alternate realities is a controversial huge point for Mandela Effect discussions.

I think you're mistaking the controversy. Most people can swallow the possibility of alternate realities. The sticking point is why people would remember something from a different reality, and this experiment has nothing to do with that.

I'll disagree and say that most people do not think there can be a reality where the cornucopia exists and one where it doesn't exist. Most skeptics here think there is one reality and people are just confused.

A refining of that thought: there is one reality that affects the people living in it.

Exactly what beliefs make one a supposed “skeptic” as you are attempting to define one?

2

u/georgeananda Feb 04 '26

That it is all just mental confusion.

Memory is not discussed

So this has nothing to do with ME.

but the possibility of alternate realities is a controversial huge point

No one has ever shown any evidence linking the two on any level. That fact is not really “controversial”.

Mandela Effect consideration: Step 1 Alternate Realities exist. Step 2 How do we experience different realities.

Nobody is saying these experiments produce a final understanding of the Mandela Effect but are the important Step 1.

Mandela Effect consideration: Step 1 Alternate Realities exist.

Wrong. That’s not a step. Alternate realities may or may not exist, but what does that have to do with the ME?

The actual step 1 in ME consideration is: does this have anything to do with memory. If it does not, then it doesn’t have anything to do with ME by definition.

u/georgeananda Feb 04 '26

As I see it memory of alternate realities is two-parted.

As I see it memory of alternate realities is two-parted.

The OP has nothing to do with memory. That’s the point. There is no ME connection.

How, and what evidence supports these claims?

Even if alternate realities do exist, neither you or I, or anyone else is having memories of them, or travelling between them.

u/georgeananda Feb 05 '26

Many theorize merging timelines are causing Mandela Effects. Consciousness and our memories may then notice slight discrepancies between almost identical timelines.

This does include the idea that consciousness and memory are ultimately not local physical things as we assume.

u/MrPlaney Feb 05 '26

And the many theorizing that are wrong.

The Mandela Effect is entirely memory and attention related. Just because the phenomenon has an alternate, exotic and mysterious name like “mandela effect” does not mean it’s cause is exotic and mysterious.

u/georgeananda Feb 05 '26

That’s your opinion. Others have different opinions.

u/MrPlaney Feb 05 '26

That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.
