People share fascinating theory that 17-mile-long 'death machine' is causing the Mandela effect
People are sharing a fascinating theory that the 17-mile-long ‘death machine’ is causing the Mandela effect.
The Mandela effect has fooled us all at one point or another, whether it’s making us believe that the Monopoly man used to have a monocle (he did not) or that the Kellogg’s cereal Froot Loops was actually spelt like ‘Fruit Loops’ (it wasn’t).
The phenomenon of misremembering events stems from the 1980s, when people have a widespread false memory of Nelson Mandela dying in prison.

Now, one person has shared their own theory as to why we’re experiencing misremembered recollections.
Taking to Reddit, the user wrote: “I have a theory that CERN causes the destruction of pieces of the universe, represented by quantum fields, every time they run the LHC (Large Hadron Collider).
“Then, the quantum fields shift to the closest Multiverse timeline, while our consciousness is not affected by it at all.”
The user went on to say that as the LHC, which is the world's biggest physics machine, collides the particles and some begin to break up.
Their suggestion is that when you destroy a particle, ‘you delete the information of its properties. All the entangled particles to the destroyed particle will be destroyed because they share the same state/properties’.
They went on to explain: “The Mandela effect is the result of multiple shifting of pieces of the universe (quantum fields) to the closest Multiverse timeline, due to CERN experiments, while our consciousness is not affected at all - because our consciousness is not affected by changes in our physical reality.”
The theory caused a reaction from other users on the social media platform, who took to the comment section to respond.
One person agreed with the original poster, writing: “I also share this same theory and thought of it independently before reading anything on here. It seems to be a likely possibility since in my mind the timeline adds up perfectly. I never heard of the Mandela Effect before CERN was online.”
Another said: “I absolutely believe CERN has effed up something and is a cog in the wheel of the Mandela Effect but don’t think they created it. I think they are making it worse though. Not sure how it started or why.”
However, not everyone was as convinced, with some being quick to shoot down the idea.
One user said: “Just admit you misremembered how Berenstain Bears was spelled, it's a lot less embarrassing than this.”
And another joked: “Bulls***. Everyone knows CERN just creates gates to hell.”
