Yanny, Laurel, and the Mandela Effect

b'Why would the the Yanny-Laurel phenomenon tell us anything about the Mandela Effect? They have nothing in common! Or do they?\\n\\nLet\\u2019s start with a quick recap:\\n\\nMandela Effect\\n\\nYanny-Laurel\\n\\nOf course, Yanny-Laurel relates to the famous Dress Controversy\\n\\nIs it white and gold or blue and black?vPhil can tune Yanny-Laurel to hear either or both words, but he can\\u2019t see blue and black no matter whahe does with the dress.\\n\\nSo two people can\\u2019t agree on the color of an image or what a word is even when looking at / listening to the exact same thing. But there\\u2019s more:\\n\\nYou can KNOW that the upper grey and the lower grey are the exact same color, but can you make yourself see it that way? Without covering part of the picture up?\\n\\nBack to the Mandela Effect -- if we can\\u2019t agree with each other on simple questions in the present tense (if we can\\u2019t even agree with OURSELVES on the answers to simple questions) should we really be so certain that we are correctly remembering movie lines or peanut butter brand names or the death of a world leader?\\n\\nBut in a sense, these example prove the Mandela Effect is real. There really are different universes. Lots of them. And we are each living in one of our own.\\n\\nWT 441-754\\n\\nEternity Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) | Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\\n\\nImage from Pixabay.com and other sources.'
