You just have an ordinary memory and an over-active imagination. Unfortunately, the latter tends to corrupt the former. When a memory is recalled, it is as labile as when it was first established, so any embellishments, doubts, or imagined differences concerning it have a chance of being incorporated or associated with the original memory trace. IOW, dwelling on imagined differences in your memories only makes things worse.I remember reading about the death of John de Lancie…
Then he is alive.
A few obsessives think it's happening; your bubble is not the world. Most people accept that we make mistakes.everyone is sure this is happening
you should probably not think everyone is delusional
hence this is happening
Yes; it's generally consistent with our fuzzy recall of trivial things being modified by our expectations.Whenever I hear about Mandela Effects they are anything but dramatic, which makes me always ask why isn’t it ever something dramatic? It’s always something like a punctuation mark, but it’s never something like Wayne Gretzky being the Prince of Wales instead of a former hockey player. It’s telling that what always counts as a Mandela Effect is something that non-dramatically fits what cases of false memory are.
Also, doesn’t both chaos theory, and the butterfly effect lead to huge changes not tiny ones? So why would your name change example always be something like Clark vs Clarke instead of Clark vs Dominic?
So don't treat it as a valid source of real world science.

I've considered it. In my considered opinion, it's bollocks - and there is a well-established empirical explanation that explains the observations far better.you can't measure my memory
however, I can measure your closed mind
you are not considering this idea

This is a good stance. The mistake you often seem to make is to finish it, whatever it happens to be, still in a position of ignorance. Not the most productive approach.
When I first heard about the Mandela effect, some years ago, I did approach it from a position of ignorance - I had no alternative!you should approach it from a position of ignorance
because that is where you start from
instead you are approaching it from knowing it is false
but it's really pure fantasy.
But let's further assume, for the sake of argument, that you would (somehow) always transfer to the corresponding time and place in the alternate universe…
I rely on insight and logic
Logic should be telling you that the well-documented and repeatable fact that memory is fickle is the most likely explanation. Not jumping across universes.
