MEMORY, HISTORY, MANDELA EFFECT, AND TIME MIRRORS
For some time, as a regular feature of comments and conversation in this website's vidchats, we've been talking about the epistemological warfare being waged in our time, and against virtually every institution. For example, for many I've entertained a very high octane speculative hypothesis about the so-called "Mandela effect" as being an experiment both in social engineering, and as an experiment in the possibilities of the "observer effect" on the macro, and not quantum, scales. One may get a handle on this speculation by posing a simple question: what happens - if anything at all - when a group observer has its memory altered or changed while another group does not? Minimally, one may say that this creates two very different timelines, at least mentally. But how - if at all - would this spill over into the physical world.
And just for the record, before anyone starts emailing me about the spelling of Barenstein Bears or Jiff[y] peanut butter or all the things that most people think of as belonging to the "Mandela Effect", I do not include these things in my understanding of the effect. I include events and most frequently, the timing of the event and who was involved. Typically, this means the deaths of famous people, when they died, and under what circumstances. In that case, one may count me as an experiencer of the effect, and I know two people in my circle of acquaintances that also remember famous people as having died at times and under circumstances later "shown" to be "untrue." And no, neither they nor I are people given to confecting tall tales, in we all have relatively good memories for detail. The bottom line for me was that these three examples which included my own personal experience convinced me that someone was deliberately playing with collective memories in a very big way.
It's not as difficult as it sounds, for in the age of mass media manipulation, we've all seen how easy it can be to create narratives that are simply untrue, and weaponize them for political purposes. What I am suggesting is that the Mandela effect may emcompass social engineering experiments that are using a group observer effect for "cosmological", rather than merely political, purposes. It's a version of the multi-verse theory of quantum mechanics, but with a key difference: the different timelines do not exist in separate universes, but coexist in this universe, a disquieting conclusion that might carry its own dire physical implications. Consider only Aristotle's observation that two contradictory attributes cannot coinhere in the same object at the same time, which, in this strange world of the Mandela Effect, is less a tenet of Aristotelian metaphysics and epistemology, and more of a metaphysical and epistemological warning.
And that brings me to today's article that was spotted and shared by T.M., for which we are very grateful. The subject concerns the possibility of "time mirrors", a technology that "flips" the "reflection" of time itself:
‘Time mirrors’ are actually a real thing, experts say: ‘Like pressing undo on the universe’
Firstly, notice the description of what the "time mirror" actually does:
Physicists in New York have pulled off what sounds like a page ripped from a sci-fi script: They’ve confirmed that “time mirrors,” a trippy phenomenon where waves literally reverse in time — are real.
The mind-bending experiment, led by Dr. Hussein Moussa at the Advanced Science Research Center at CUNY, involved tinkering with a futuristic “metamaterial” — a strip of metal embedded with electronic components.
When juiced with a precise burst of energy, the setup caused an electromagnetic wave to do the impossible: to flip the direction of time, as reported by Earth.com — or, as one TikTokker put it, “Like pressing undo on the universe.”
Now before we get to the "whopper doozie" part of the article, let's stop here and notice the implication that occurred to me when I read this: could this be the very technology behind the Mandela Effect? Possibly, especially if one remembers a basic rule of thumb when considering exotic black projects research: the actual state of the research and what we're being told about it are two different things, and what we're told about it usually lags behind the actual state of accomplishment in a particular area or research project, sometimes far behind.
And that observation brings us to this stunner in the article, to its whopper doozie squatting in the middle of it all:
“Time is not a line. It’s a wave. And baby, we’re just learning to surf it.”
The wave reversal doesn’t just bounce a signal back in space like your average mirror — it scrambles the whole timeline. The wave’s frequency shifts — and suddenly — it’s like rewinding reality.
...
And while physicists are bending time in the lab, neuroscientists say the human brain may already be doing it naturally.
Back in 2021, scientists from France and the Netherlands discovered that our brains possess “an internal or inherent flow of time, that was not driven by something going on in the external world,” according to neuroscientist Leila Reddy, who sat down with Vice for an interview.
Her team studied epilepsy patients with electrodes implanted in their brains and found “time cells” firing — even in the absence of external cues.
“These patients have severe, drug-resistant epilepsy and are awaiting surgery,” Reddy told Vice. “Once the electrodes are inserted into the brain, we ask the patients if they are willing to participate in short experiments for us.”
The brain’s inner clock, Reddy explained, could be the key to “mental time travel” — the way we encode not just what happened, but when and where.
“Time cells could provide the scaffolding for representing the ‘when,’” she added.
In other words, while physicists are flipping waves, your neurons might be flipping through your past like a mental VHS tape.
In other words, there are two aspects to the temporal flow: (1) the "external" reality itself, perhaps best represented by what I've been calling the "group observer effect", and (2) the "internal" or subjective component of an individual conscious memory. Alter enough of the latter, or interfere with it in some way, and the possibility of its "spilling over" into reality begins to take shape. "Time is not a line, it's a wave (and therefore, a "cycle", a frequency). Alter the characteristics of that wave, and one is altering reality, scrambling the timeline itself.
Or to put it bluntly, things just became a whole lot creepier and scary. For all these speculations raise another question: are there certain events, or rather, certain types of events, that are more or less immune to "time mirrors"? Are there, so to speak, non-manipulable and non-reversible events? I strongly suspect there are, and the clue to those types of events lies in the article itself...
See you on the flip side...
