"Datura effect" means that the collective memory of the public does not match the real history. If we want to trace the origin of this concept, it is likely that this concept was put forward by a blogger who likes supernatural phenomena on 20 10.

The blogger wrote in her article that in her memory, nelson mandela, the black leader of South Africa, died as early as 1980s? Don't you remember? How can he be the president of South Africa now?

The "Mandela effect" is becoming more and more obvious. Has human memory been tampered with collectively or parallel universes? To this end, Fianna Bumai put forward a hypothesis. He believes that Mandela actually died in prison as early as the 1980s, but people in the future may have crossed the 1980s and saved Mandela, thus rewriting history. We are in a parallel universe influenced by travelers. Because the traveler's rewriting of history is not thorough enough.

Therefore, many people still have memories of Mandela's death. He called this hypothesis the Mandela effect and claimed that thousands of people shared his memory.

What is the real history? In fact, Mandela did go to prison in the 1980s, but was later released and eventually elected President of South Africa. Mandela did not die on 20 10, but on 20 13.

"Mandela Effect" is not a serious scientific theory, but a hypothesis put forward by supernatural enthusiasts, which is actually about the deviation between public memory and real events. In recent years, the phenomenon similar to the "Mandela effect" has become common and intensified. We can give a few examples.

For example, the movie that was very popular before was originally called "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", but what many people remember is "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

For another example, there is an animated Pikachu in the comic book The Petelf. Do you think Pikachu has black stripes on his tail? Is Pikachu on the left or right in the picture below? Many people think it's left. In fact, Pikachu's tail has no black stripes.

Give a few more examples. The famous statue "The Thinker", is this statue holding the hand of the minibus a hand or a forehead? Right hand or left hand? Many people will remember the actual action of this sculpture wrong. In fact, he holds his chin in his right hand and doesn't hold his fist.

How did the "mandala effect" come about? Some scholars also put forward their own views. To sum up, people's memory is too fragile and easily influenced by the outside world, resulting in memory deviation. This actually comes from the way we store memories, relying on neurons in the brain, through the connection structure of neurons. Neurons themselves are prone to make mistakes, especially when people get older, neurons will decrease and memory will deteriorate.

This makes some wrong information create wrong memories in the brain. Therefore, many word-of-mouth misinformation has become a common memory deviation for many people. In other words, we are deceived by the brain.
