Australia is not where I remember it to be

[Black_Jesus]

Oh right.. cuz you're from another reality

 

[Swagnificent]

How you gonna remember a world based off a map this innacurate??

Look man if you experienced the reality I did you wouldn't consider that map inaccurate. Yes it does look inaccurate compared to the world of this reality.

But that map looks like the world as I knew it just a few years ago before this "Mandela Effect" occurred.

 

[Swagnificent]

Not necessarily.

There are 3 plausible explanations for what I and many others are experiencing:

1. Our universe is really a computer simulation and either through intentional manipulation or glitches reality as we remember it has been changed and only a few of us are able to remember the world as it was before.

2. We live in a multiverse with an infinite number of parallel universes and those of us experiencing the "Mandela Effect" have had our consciousness shifted from one parallel universe to another.

3. Time travel is possible and someone from the future went back in time and what some of us are experiencing are the distortions in history caused by the traveling back in time.


I personally think the simulation theory is the most plausible followed by the multiverse theory and with the time travel theory being the least likely.

Different maps from different perspectives.
You can't take a 3D elliptical object and render it accurately on a 2D format. So one region or feature or perspective is focused on in a particular projection which creates distortion for the features outside of that.
The maps we grew up with were biased towards the north and slightly west anyway, not purely projection but also a Eurocentric bias.

Its because the earth is flat nikka

Once again you are not understanding what I'm saying.

All objective evidence of the Australia I remember has been edited. All that is left now is residue that shows weird inconsistencies only those who remember where Australia used to be notice.

Australia didn't drift. No one in this universe is distorting maps.

The only way what we (those affected by the Mandela Effect) are experiencing could be possible is if the reality we are in isn't physical but rather is a computer simulation. And the underlying simulation is changing. Either intentionally by whoever programmed it or through unintentional glitches.

The reality we inhabit is changing and editing itself to be consistent with this new change and only those of us who consciously remember that past reality are able to notice this shift.

Once again this is not something done by people or by "natural" physical processes like continental drift. The only what I have experienced could be possible is if this reality is a computer simulation.

Ah OK, I get what you're saying.

I understand that you think you may be living in an alternate reality/computer simulation, but because there are so few of you suffering (?) from this "Mandela Effect", honestly, it just sounds like either:

• You have a terrible memory
• You've been reading/watching too much nonsense online
• You've gone off or gone onto strong medication

As long as you realize these is just theories and maybe some of these cacmade maps you remember were just innacurate just lije the one you posted

I'm not surprised you would react this way. Most people who have not experienced what we experience would react this way.

I'll just put it this way. I would much rather chalk this up to poor memory. When I first started looking into this Mandela Effect it was mostly just fun. But when I discovered what happened with the continents, human anatomy as I remember it, and the position of our solar system in the galaxy, that shyt shook me.

If I wasn't such a calm guy in general, I would probably be freaking out like a psych patient right now.

Realizing the world as you knew it is completely gone is kind of a mindfukk.

The part of Argentina closest to Antarctica is called Patagonia, and it's very cold. They got glaciers and permanent snowfields.

By comparison rarely snows in Tasmania, which is Australia's southern most state.

If Australia was as far south as OP claims the weather would be like Canada. Instead we routinely get 100+ degree days in summer and it almost never snows. In Sydney where i live it hasn't snowed in over 150 years.

No I get it, and I definitely know about Patagonia. Just from perspective, when you look across the continents and see all the parts that were "touched by the sun" or desert and then you see the greenery and then you see the snow, it's just real trippy how the hemispheric separation makes that much of a difference. The whole eastern side of Argentina is dry/desert, the western-most strip is all green. But when you look at all the countries above Argentina in South America, its the exact opposite.

• There are four basic characteristics of a map that are distorted to some degree, depending on the map projection used. These characteristics include distance, direction, shape, and area.
  
  • 
    
    
    Commonly, a map projection is a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of locations on the surface of a sphere or an ellipsoid into locations on a plane.[1] Map projections are necessary for creating maps. All map projections distort the surface in some fashion. Depending on the purpose of the map, some distortions are acceptable and others are not; therefore, different map projections exist in order to preserve some properties of the sphere-like body at the expense of other properties. There is no limit to the number of possible map projections.[2]:1
    
    Even more generally, projections are the subject of several pure mathematical fields, including differential geometry and projective geometry.
    
    Metric properties of maps
    
    An Albers projection shows areas accurately, but distorts shapes.
    
    Many properties can be measured on the Earth's surface independent of its geography. Some of these properties are:
    
    • Area
    • Shape
    • Direction
    • Bearing
    • Distance
    • Scale
    Map projections can be constructed to preserve at least one of these properties, though only in a limited way for most. Each projection preserves or compromises or approximates basic metric properties in different ways. The purpose of the map determines which projection should form the base for the map. Because many purposes exist for maps, many projections have been created to suit those purposes.
    
    Distortion
    Tissot's indicatrix
    
    Tissot's Indicatrices on the Mercator projection.
    The classical way of showing the distortion inherent in a projection is to use Tissot's indicatrix. Nicolas Tissot described how to construct an ellipse that characterizes the amount and orientation of the components of distortion.[2]:147–149[12]By spacing the ellipses regularly along the meridians and parallels, the network of indicatrices shows how distortion varies across the map.

most maps are factually inaccurate. for example, on most maps, africa is way smaller than it really is in real life

http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/18/afric...nn.com/2016/08/18/africa/real-size-of-africa/

in real life, 3 canadas could fit into africa, but on world maps this is not the case.

I remember asking as a youngin how many USA could fit in africa. Cac said 1.5 more

In the reality OP hails from Josh Dobbs is winning the Heisman tonight

Never mind
Looked up 'Mandela Effect'
A 'paranormal consultant' thinks because she isn't the only goober who answered "1980s" (before he was even released from prison) when asked when Nelson Mandela died means we're in the matrix or shifting between realities
VS cognitive science research on the patterns and causes of memory construction and glitches.

Berenstein Bears or Berenstain Bears?
50 states or 52 states?
MacDonald's or McDonald's?

Classified types of memory mistakes or untestable unverifiable tinfoil hat hypotheses.

 

[BamdaDon]

I've been researching quantum physics my whole life. Hence the reason I'm able to realize everything I'm experiencing is compatible with what the modern understanding of quantum physics.

Quantum physics is basically an endorsement of the simulation theory.

But you're in this thread all

and did not post about in this thread at all

Oh right.. cuz you're from another reality

Well he does believe the preseason hype about Tennessee every year.

He probably gets his maps from the same company that manufacturers charts for Butch Jones.
