The Mandela Effect: can science explain false memories?
Manage episode 361101941 series 3378975
In the early 2010’s something called The Mandela Effect blew up on the internet.
Masses of people online claimed to remember events or images as being one way, when they’re actually completely different to how they recall them.
False memories have mostly been thought of as chance or a result of believing some conspiracy, however researchers are now trying to see if there’s a scientific explanation at play here.
Dr Sophie Calabretto asks Cosmos Magazine journalist Imma Perfetto if there’s any science that explains the Mandela Effect and the experiments trying to understand exactly what’s going on.
