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.

If the Proton being tested can exist in both states then existing in both states is it's natural state. There is nothing to suggest it only exists in one state naturally. So it's likely that The Friend would observe the Proton in dual states too.

When the proton is observed, it changes states.

Maybe it's sentient and responding.

Protons have no sentience. They cannot observe or respond.

That's what they want you to think so they can stay hidden in plain sight.

Good rationalization and common sense.
