So that's back to the Mandella Effect. But a "glitch" in memory could also indicate a simulation where the coders got reckless. It doesn't require reincarnation, which suffers the same infinite regress problem as the idea of simulations within simulations within simulations. Ultimately, the "first" must be explained. If Q were right - and those were all gods we created, there still remains the question who created us? And if we have no need of a creator, why do they?

I finished the article. Why would "dimensional jumping" require many worlds? If there are more dimensions in this one world than we can perceive, and we temporarily move into a higher one, and back again, it's not needed. I've heard just the addition of one more dimension (4th spatial) would give the ability for different matter to exist in the same space. Much like I described of my experience.
Sadly, spatial dimensions don't work like that, it's a comic-book trope, a plot device; spatial dimensions are simply orthogonal directions in space. Secondly, there is a plausible physical theory that includes extra spatial dimensions which might describe our universe; it's called String Theory - it has 11 dimensions, but the additional spatial dimensions are curled up so small they're impossible to access (called 'compactification'), and this feature is essential to the theory.

The scientifically possible multiverses don't help either, as their universes are mutually inaccessible.

John de Lancie the actor? Interesting. I really like him & glad he's here too. But scripture is way out enough for me. Teleporting (Philip), being "like" Christ because we'll see him as he really is (higher dimensions), Christ appearing in the midst of a cube (room) without coming through any of it's sides, ... Reality is a curious thing.
Cool stories.

It could indicate that - it could indicate a virus affecting our brains, or cosmic rays damaging our brain cells... but we already know from many examples, in the lab and in real life, that these kinds of recall 'glitches' are common and characteristic of how memory works. Memories are reconstructions, they're not like video replays.

You can't answer a simple question.

I myself know nothing, except just a little, enough to extract an argument from another man who is wise and to receive it fairly.
