The Mandela Effect

Eliška Sommerová

"When you say something, make sure you have said it. The chances of your having said it are only fair" - E.B. White

When you are listening to the songs you may sing the different words which are not even in the lyrics, but you would bet it is in it. Or the date of some event you were really looking forward to, but it was a different date then you remembered, even the sign of the supermarket you were visiting every day for the past 5 years of your life.

You may think you just have a bad memory but this kind of thing is called The Mandela Effect, it's named after Nelson Mandela the politician. Most of the populácia thought he had died in the prison in the early 1980s but he died after 13 years in 2013, people were in shock because they read about his death in newspapers and then they read again but almost 15 years after. That's the reason for the name.

People think it has something to do with time travel. There are even videos on youtube from the time travel from 2018 who are predicting 3WW, even the most popular cartoon show The Simpsons has predicted so many things! Like Trump to be president, 9/11, even the coronavirus. For people this is really scary because it is kinda deja vu for them, they can not be sure what is true and what is just their imagination.

Have you seen these pictures before? Did you know that the most famous phrase "Luke, I'm your father" is not even in the movie? So where did it come from?
