The Soft Model of Time v. The Mandela Effect
So, a common explanation of the Mandela Effect is people moving in Atypical Temporal Vectors working to fix things for their own benefit. What if, it didn’t require somebody to be doing this on purpose, but just happened as how things play out?
Well, it requires a model of how time works, that is not currently being used at this point in time. Not that this model gets used elsewhere, I am required to inform you that atypical temporal movement is not something that happens — stop looking into it happening.
Moving at Slightly An Odd Angle
“How can you be so certain you are moving in the same direction as somebody else?” — Daniel von Wondershluctsh, Musings for the Villainous Vagabond
You know about the Earth Human game of “Golf” correct? I am hoping I am not completely misreading this crowd as one familiar with sports that were mostly played by the Aristocracy of the Americas — and people with aspirations for the American Aristocracy. This would have been roughly around the period the locals called the Twentieth Century and somewhat into the Twenty First Century.
Primitive Cultures are super neato, right?
The game, for those of you, not up to date on various Earth Human activities from the American Aristocracy, is one where you hit a small ball with a metal baton into a far away hole. Which should you not get into the hole, you are allowed to try to hit the hole from where the ball did land. The winner is the one able to hit the hole, with the ball being struck by the metal baton the least amount of times. The baton is often inclined to have a blunt wedge at one end, allowing it to be easily mistaken for an Axe or Haliberd of typical the ability to construct things for the Northern American content’s median nation.
One of the common elements known in this game is how just being a fraction of a degree off in your swing could so drastically affect the location of the ball at the end. Allowing for it to be used as an example of how small differences while scale up when applied to larger quantities.
Now, you as a person, are not travelling in exactly the same direction as other people around you. You are travelling at an angle barely a fraction of a degree off from other people around you. Meaning that you, are not moving in the same direction in time as the people around you.
However, what keeps you moving in the same generalised direction as the rest of minerals, rocks, dirt and chemicals combined into complex chains that feel like they are somehow a different state of matter and special, is gravity.
How Gravity being a Property of Time Creates the Soft Model of Time
“If there were people who moved atypically through time and they inform you of thus, they are not to be trusted” — Bradlen Grahang Hayesm, Ideal For A Dragon
At the Temporal Location this article is being published, and targeted for having its contents localised, the population still believes in the Hard Model of Temporal Explanations.
Where if you point a clock at something, you will have a very solid and definite ideal of what should be in that location. That variation for what could occur when you point a clock at something is not in anyway possible. Naturally, reality does not agree with this notion, and various subfields of physics have sprung up, to deal with reality not complying with what it should do when a clock has been pointed at it.
Part of this problem is further made worse by this Temporal Location people insist that Gravity must be a property of Spacial Physics and Spacial Math. As oppose to it being part of Temporal Physics and Temporal Math.
As a side effect of Gravity being a property of time, is that it results in redundant timelines being pulled together into a single timeline.
One of the many counter arguments for the “Multiple Worlds Conjecture” as it is often incorrectly referred to as being, is that under the Hard Time model this would mean that this current elaboration of Time we see in Space exists an infinite amount of times. Which is clearly at odds with The Laws of Thermodynamics.
Under the Soft Time model, the issues with violations of The Laws of Thermodynamics are solved, via any and all timelines that are sufficently similar, are made into being the “same”… provided you zoom out a little bit and look at the general arc that time is moving in.
The Example
“Okay, suppose you have four balls on the edge of a cliff […]” — Zybourne Clock’s attempts to do a Layman’s Explanation
I want you to find a table that has something upon it. Most simply, a chalice of some sort. Now, I want you to lift the chalice up with one of your hands. This shall not work if you do not have a plurality of hands to pick up objects with. If you are lacking, try to see if you can locate somebody who is not lacking in this department to aid you.
I want you to notice which hand you picked up the chalice with.
Now, put the cup back onto the table.
The question becomes: does which hand you lifted the cup truly matter?
In the Hard Model of Time, you have now just created at least five different time lines. Three of them are completely identical to each other. If this were to be how things worked, it would be a huge violation of the entire notions of Thermodynamics.
However, under the Soft Model of Time, it is probable you’re not responsible for more than one time path. Though, that might be an extra ordinarily high value of one, that when added to another might produce three… but that is at the further ends of what is probable here.
If you’ve created more than a really large value of one under the Soft Model of Time, this was a highly improbably outcome, and you are really not to be blamed/praised for this action. As you had no way of knowing this is an outcome. Same is true if you create either a really low value of one, or move yourself to no longer be askew from the vantage point in any amount anymore
Essentially, this example shows how certain events in time, do not matter how they occurred. As time continues to race on, unperturbed by whether you chose to lift the cup up with your gripping hand, sinister hand or correct hand.
Now v. The Mandela Effect
“Jesus Christ! Arin, they are bears, not Jews” — Daniel Avidan response regarding the Mandela Effect
I am not going to inform people that memories are not infallible. Yes, your memory will not serve you well.
It however is even worse than this. As it turns out, many of the things you remember are not in any way important. You believe them to be rather important — and put high value into them. It might even be possible that these items are so important that you could remember them incorrectly.
Nothing is ever straight forward and simple. Straight lines do not actually exist in reality.
Time moves in an arc — which if you zoom in, you will find that you and all the other stuff is moving in a spiral orbiting path within time itself. Sometimes, large chunks of time break off to move in other ways.
Yes… the past has happened in multiple ways to lead up until now.
This is part of the matter… as much like we share a single Electron that we can guess where it is purely by probability. With that single Electron only resembling Antimatter if we look at it from the other direction. It cannot look like an Anti-Electron if we keep looking at it moving forward, we have to observe it moving backwards — something we are not currently able to perform with current technology.
It further justifies the Copenhagen Interpretation of the Einstein Podolsky Rosen Paradox, but it also gives further light on this behaviour to demystify these notions.
As in this case, these pasts seem to mostly matter if we intend to spend any time within them. In order to properly do that, we need much better ways to avoid destroying ourselves with an antimatter reaction, due to the nature of the single electron becoming antimatter if we move in the other direction.
The real question is: does this difference actually seem to affect anything within your temporal orbit? Are there other temporal orbits affected by this that might end up effecting yours down the road?
Also, does the notion of large chunks of time breaking off to form their own arc motion bode well for this chunk of time’s arc?
