Oh I think it exists, I can’t be certain how or why, however, there is definitely a phenomenon which appears to be causing people to misremember certain key historical events in popular culture almost uniformly. Whether it be Berenstain vs. Berenstein Bears. “Luke, I am your father” vs. “No, I am your father”, “Mirror mirror on the wall”, vs. “Magic mirror on the wall.” “If you build it they will come” vs. “If you build it he will come”. There are so many instances of this I could go on forever.
Of course not everybody remembers everything, let alone remembering everything correctly. Yet, that doesn’t explain away a mass misremembering of events. Theories about what may be causing it include but are not limited to experiments being conducted at CERN, as well as quantum computing in general. Some people think that quantum computers harness processing power from parallel universes, they even talk openly about this. One man went so far as to say that we're either harnessing the processing power of qubits from parallel universes or, the universe is acting as if though we are. I found that idea to be very profound.
Whatever the truth is, these are exciting times to live in. When science meets fiction, looks it squarely in the eye and says WTF! I mean the very fact that mankind is accomplishing the impossible with quantum computers, and isn't even certain how this is being accomplished is mind blowing in and of itself. I think mankind as a whole is on the verge of becoming either godlike, extinct, or maybe a bit of both. It might not even matter, especially if it's already happened, and this is all a simulation run on a post-human quantum supercomputer by mankind's collective AI progeny.
We would be none the wiser.
I quite agree with everything you said in the last paragraph. I think we have proof that we live in a Matrix/simulation, but humanity may be ignoring all the evidence. For instance, look at all the striking coincidences and symmetry between the assassination of John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln, the sinking of the Titanic, the circumstances that led to the First World War, etc.
I'm not so sure about the existence of multiverses, but I'm absolutely certain that we live in a simulation!
Hi @alexodavids!, I don’t know if you’ve ever played the video game Grand Theft Auto V or not. In that game, it’s basically a simulation of three different cities; San Andreas, Los Santos, and San Fierro.
When you login to play this game online, it puts you in a server with like 15-30 people in it. Yet at any given time there are probably hundreds of thousands of people playing the game.
In order to accommodate everyone there are many servers (or worlds), all running the same simulation of those three cities. Not only that, everyone who is running the game, is also running an instance of the simulation.
If a for example a gun store gets shot up by another player, that store will be closed for some time. But if you get moved to another server, or another instance of the same universe that very same store that was shot up, will be perfectly fine and open for business.
I guess what I’m saying is, if we are in a simulation. There is no telling how many other concurrent simulations might also be running. That’s how simulation theory and multiple worlds might coincide; it could also explain the Mandela effect too.
People from different servers having different memories of past events. I wrote something about this a while back, you might be interested you can access that here.
Even better though, is this video by CamperKillerCommentary, where he really digs deep into simulation theory, Enjoy!
