Not a valid explanation

Because it ignores all testimony
Lol. An explanation which is evidence based and demonstrable is invalid because it ignores unevidenced, undemonstrable wishful thinking.

I can see how you expect others to be convinced with such a solid argument.

Time is the fourth dimension - I doubt that a dimension is gong to disappear.
Why not? Time means nothing to God. A day is like a thousand years. A thousand years is like a day. Everything has been created by God, through Lord Jesus. That includes time. He can, if He chooses, have an entirely different universe. We know that there will be a new heavens and a new earth. Will time matter there? We won't get old, there will be no night, so what use is time?

I know the truth is grey, you think it’s black white
You think truth is what you say. I know that you are wrong.

Some "truth" is binary. Black and white. Some is not. That is inevitable. "We" acknowledge that.

But for you... it's always only "us" who don't get it right, ignore your claims, are "doubting".

It might give you reassurance to believe that reality revolves around you... for whatever reason you need this belief. But that still doesn't make it "truth"... grey, black, white or purple.

I accept the Mandela effect is a real phenomenon
I, too, accept the Mandela effect as a real phenomenon. But I don't accept your explanation for it. Because I don't believe reality revolves around me, in contrast to... certain other people I don't want to name here.

And in a similar way, you don't accept our explanation. And in contrast to "us", you seem to have major problems of giving valid reasons for your rejection.
That doesn't make your truth "grey". It makes your thinking "murky".

The most simple explanation is…

Everyone is right

Their memory is fine

No, that is not the "most simple" explanation. You could hardly come up with a more complex explanation.
Your explanation necessitates all of reality changing to accomodate different memories. Even if these memories are in themselves incoherent, inconsistent and illogical.

Some people are wrong. Many people are wrong. But if you admitted that, you would have to consider that you yourself are one of these people.

And this is something that you are obviously incapable of doing.

I think your memory is right

I want you to check
Check what? My memory of people being wrong? Or my memory in general?
Pray tell... how do you "check" something that, by definition, doesn't exist in (this) reality, but only in "memory"?
