The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon in which a group of people remember an event or fact differently from how it occurred or was recorded. It is named after the South African political leader Nelson Mandela, who many people remember dying in prison in the 1980s, when in fact he was released and went on to become the country's president in the 1990s.
The Mandela Effect is often attributed to the concept of "dimension jumping," which suggests that there are infinite parallel dimensions existing alongside our own. According to this theory, when an individual or group of individuals experiences a shift in consciousness, they can shift to a different dimension where events or facts are different from what they remember.
This concept of dimension jumping is also related to the idea of the multiverse, which suggests that there are many parallel universes co-existing with our own. Each universe is believed to be slightly different from the others, with small variations in physical laws, constants, and even historical events.
When an individual jumps from one dimension to another, they are said to be experiencing a shift in reality. This can result in small changes in the world around them, which may be experienced as the Mandela Effect.
For example, an individual may remember a childhood TV show theme song having different lyrics than they currently do. In another instance, a group of people may remember a famous quote differently than how it was actually spoken.
