The Effect

[keith99]

A photographic memory. Of Google Earth.

New Zealand… NE of Australia.

A week later… SE of Australia.

And do you remember a world where New Zealand, Austrailia, England or France won the 1995 Rugby World Cup which was played in Austrailia and/or New Zealand? Lacking a very alive Mandela it is extremely doubtful that South Africa would have even been playing international Rugby at that point and even more unlikely that they would be hosting the World Cup.

It seems the vast majority of those who remember things differently remember things that could be described as differences in reading the box score of a sporting event as opposed to people who were there remembering the actual game. Easy to change just who caught the winning pass in a box score and easy to have a misprint. Not so easy in real life.

I'll go with Francois Pienaar's memories over those of someone who never set foot in South Africa, never knew a single South African and probably did not know much about Mandela every time.

Your faith is unreliable.

I don't need faith when I've got a large quantity of scientific evidence all indicating the same result.

When most people find their memory is unreliable, they shrug and move on, making allowances for it; they don't assume they're living in pseudoscientific fantasy of 'shifting timelines' - "My memory is right and the world is wrong" is not a rational position.

 

[JohnEmmett]

I don't need faith

You rely on skepticism.

Thus your conclusion.

 

[Kylie]

Your attitude is the factor.

I have a "bad" attitude, therefore you are correct in saying that people can transfer from one reality to another?

You arguments are extraordinarily weak.

 

[Kylie]

Even more important a shift on the North/South axis would resukt in a major change in the climate of New Zealand. If North of Oz then no glaciers on South Island, Mount Cook being snow capped would be a rarity. All the coal burning heaters in homes and businesses would not have existed.

Oh and the tourist flights going over the South Pole would generally have been from Oz, not New Zealand.

Do any Kiwis have such memories on New Zealand? I doubt it.

Also not to mention that it would cause large changes in the ocean currents, resulting in massive climate changes throughout the Asia/Pacific region.

 

[Kylie]

This timeline is the same as it ever was.

I shifted here from elsewhere.

I remember the previous location, that's all.

And do you remember New Zealand being a warm tropical paradise, or did tat country always have the snowfields? Do you remember the rest of the Asia/Pacific region having a substantially different climate due to the different circulation of ocean currents, or has that always been the same as well?

And not to mention the ludicrousness of the whole idea of shifting here from another reality anyway.

What caused you to shift? What was the mechanism by which it happened? Why do we not have two versions of you - you who shifted from an alternate reality, and the you that was already here? If people can shift from one reality to another, why do we never see people shifting AWAY from this reality?

 

[JohnEmmett]

I have a "bad" attitude

Yes… that's the factor.

Concerning if you can appreciate this Effect.

A question: When NZ was to the north east of Australia, what happened to Fiji?

 

[Kylie]

Yes… that's the factor.

You seem incapable of recognising sarcasm. Reality does not alter based on my attitude.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Reality does not alter based on my attitude.

Your knowledge of reality alters…

 

[JohnEmmett]

What caused you to shift?

Good question.

The answer isn't apparent.

 

[Kylie]

Your knowledge of reality alters…

But reality itself remains the same no matter what. Your claims are still completely unsupported.

Good question.

The answer isn't apparent.

And yet it is easily answerable by saying that your memory is flawed.

A question: When NZ was to the north east of Australia, what happened to Fiji?

And how did it change relations between the various Islander races? Fiji close to New Zealand would have had significant impact on interactions between Fijians and Maori.

There are differences in each timeline…

As you would expect.

So did you meet the other 'you' from that timeline, or was it your natural timeline?

If the latter, where's the 'you' from this timeline? Did you somehow swap with each other?

Star Trek episode.

Because it shows the very situation.

And sort of explains it.
