Australia is not where I remember it to be

[Swagnificent]

Breh i said the EXACT same thing in the barenstein bears thread. fukk outta here Australia was never that high up north.

When I first saw that the Berentein Bears and Chik-Fil-A had changed I just chalked it up to poor memory on my part. When I saw that movie lines like "Luke I am your father" had changed I chalked it up to just poor collective memory. That maybe all we remembered was the quote from pop culture which was different.

But when you try to tell me continents I studied all my life are now thousands of miles from where I remember? Hell no. This is beyond poor memory. Something more profound is happening. Something more bizzare.

This experience is literally earth-shattered. Even for a guy like me that always thought it was theoretically possible we live in a simulated reality or that parallel universes exist.

I never thought I would get indisputable proof for myself that I lived in a simulated reality or that parallel universes exist.

Also how do you think the Aboriginals got here? By walking across land and occasionally using primitive boats. They came to Australia 40,000 to 50,000 years ago. Nobody at that time would have had naval technology that was more sophisticated than a raft with a paddle. You think they're going to raft their way across thousands of miles of ocean? Man hell no they walked here from Indonesia and Papua, occasionally rafting over small stretches of shallow waters no more than a few miles across. Indonesia and PNG have always been right next to Australia.

A sea journey of thousands of miles remained incredibly difficult even with the invention of sailing ships and all knowledge built up about trade winds, star positions, maps, compasses and other navigational aids. It's inconceivable that such journeys could be made with rafts 40 to 50,000 years ago.

That was one of the biggest mysteries of the reality I come from. In our reality Australia was like a thousand miles from the nearest land in Southeast Asia. So scientists in my reality were perplexed by how ancient man got there. For a long time they believed the Australian Aborgines were descended from another species of human than the one the rest of humanity descended from. Then genetic testing showed that the Aborgines were just as much homo sapien sapien as the rest of us. I remember watching countless programs try to grapple with how the Aborigines got there. I remember watching shows trying to prove you get there with primitive rafts.

I remember watching programs like "The Human Journey" to try and figure out how ancient man for to Australia. Just check out this piece right here: Migration to Australia

This statement right here is a mind fukk for me:

Reaching Australia would have presented significant challenges for ancient humans. An ocean has always separated Asia and Oceania, and travel between the two continents would have required humans to navigate dozens of miles of open water. Whether humans colonized Australia intentionally or by accident—after being blown there by monsoon winds, for example—is unknown, although National Geographic’s Wells thinks the former scenario is more likely.

WTF???

Why would travel across "dozens" of miles of open water be such a significant challenge. In the reality I come from it was hundreds (if not thousands) of miles of open ocean Ancient humans had to pass to reach Australia. Hence the mystery of their origins. Hence the belief they were descended from another species of man.


The fact my recollection of the mystery behind how humans got to Australia is so strong is the reason I have this visceral reaction to the new location of Australia on the map. I know that is false because I remember so much more about the original location of Australia in my past reality.

Okay. Now this is something that is totally different from the reality I remember. Papau New Guinea never was this close to Australia. So there was never any immigration or movement of Papau New Guineans going to Australia. Australia was like a thousands miles to the south.

In my previous reality Australian Aborigines had been isolated from the rest of the world for 40-50,000 years. In this reality it looks like people have been always moving from Papau New Guinea to Australia.

That makes no sense to me. Its totally different from the world I remember.

Just look at this map people.

WTF???

Does this even look normal?

Look at how close Australia is to Melanesia?

The Australia I remember was thousands of miles south. Its northern border was not touching Papau New Guinea.

This new reality is totally different from the one I remember.

Its always been that close.... The Berenstein Bears one did have me fuucked up, but Solomon Islands, Australia, New Zealand are exactly where they've always been.

 

[Grand Conde]

This is how I remember the world map looking. You see how far south Australia is here?

The Australia in maps in this reality is way too north. It should not be north of New Zealand. And it should not be right next to Papau New Guinea.

Anyone else remember this map?

That map looks all out of perspective to me. And that's what this - perspective.

 

[Grand Conde]

How can PNG be as far from Australia as you state when people from PNG to Australia thousands of years ago on primitive boats.

Then you're from a different reality than me.

I have a more visceral reaction to the location of Australia in this world than the Berenstein Bears.

The Australia I know was a thousand miles south of its present location. It was never anywhere close to Papau New Guinea or Southeast Asia. I have too many memories of too many things to believe that my memory of this reality is false.

 

[Swagnificent]

That map looks all out of perspective to me. And that's what this - perspective.

Well that is the reality I remember.

This new map is the one that is all out of perspective to me.

How can PNG be as far from Australia as you state when people from PNG to Australia thousands of years ago on primitive boats.

In my reality the people of Papau New Guinea have been separated from Australian Aborigines by thousands of miles for all of human history.

In my reality how ancient man got to Australia was and still is a huge mystery.

The reason I have this visceral reaction to the new location of Australia is because I remember watching countless documentaries from my reality that were trying to figure out how humans could have gotten to Australia. Like I said earlier in this thread, I've always been fascinated by human origins. I watched and read many books on how humans left Africa and colonized the rest of the world. And in the reality I come from, there was and still is a huge mystery as to how ancient man got to Australia. In my reality there was a vast distance between Australia and Southeast Asia (at least a thousand miles if not more). And I remember watching countless programs try to figure out how ancient man could have traveled those distances.

In this new reality (which you apparently have always occupied) that I have only recently come to, it seems as though how ancient man got to Australia isn't much of a mystery since its a stone throw from Papau New Guinea.

For me this is the mindfukk. Because in the reality I remember the distance between Papau New Guinea and Australia has always been so vast.

Instead of wasting your time searching up all this useless bullshyt why not focus on metaphysics, cern and quantum physics.

Most maps are bullshyt.

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.

 

[Swagnificent]

Most maps are bullshyt.

This is not about maps. The physical location of Australia has shifted. Along with almost all recorded representations.

This is a change in REALITY not a change in maps.

If you haven't experienced this you won't understand.
