Chapter 268 Projection of Time and Space
"Mandela Effect? What is this?" He Chi frowned.
Garcia opened the book in his hand and read word for word "Nelson Rolihla Hera Mandela, former President of South Africa, Nobel Peace Prize winner, African anti-racist pioneer, And was recognized by the locals as the founding father."
"Sir, you have forgotten my major, I know all this," He Chi reminded softly.
“Wait a minute, what I’m about to say next is the point.” Garcia raised the book in his hand and continued reading, “Mandela passed away at his residence in Johannesburg on December 5, 2013, and received a state funeral. treatment, but something strange happened at this time.”
"Quite a few people around the world have memory problems at this time. They insist that their memories are very clear. Mandela died in prison in the 1980s, but when the source of their memories is confirmed to them, most people do not. A clear concept”
“A few people said it came from the news, but investigators searched the news for a whole year at that time, and the result was that Mandela was completely It has nothing to do with it." Garcia spread his hands. "Look, how similar is this to the problem you encountered?"
He Chi nodded, "It is indeed suspicious. Do you know the reason for this phenomenon? "
"This kind of thing is beyond the scope of my research, but there is someone who may be able to help you."
"Who?"
"Your boss, the scholar Professor Craig, seems to have studied quantum mechanics and something like this."
Then Garcia grabbed the phone on the table and said, "Hey, old man, how are you? ? My name is Pep, and I have something to ask you. "
"Well, I know you are busy, but we pay..." After saying this, Garcia looked at He Chi with questioning eyes, Dongfang. The man opened his palm and shook it.
“Five thousand dollars!”
In less than half an hour, Professor Craig appeared in the house. In order to save time, he even called a taxi.
Professor Craig was wearing the same clothes as when we last met, and his personal hygiene was still poor. There were even unfinished pizza crumbs in the corner of his mouth, but the robot spider crawling on its shoulder seemed to become more agile again. Some.
"Well, the Mandela Effect is indeed something I have studied for a while, and it is based on the theory of parallel universes."
Professor Craig picked up a transparent poker and held it in his hand. Hands as props "The basis of the parallel universe theory is [the world is not an isolated and unique one]. Different universes are like these playing cards. Each card is its own system. They are stacked together, each running and interacting with each other under certain conditions." Impact.”
"The events that occur in each universe are not necessarily the same. Unknown random variables may bias what happens at a certain time point."
The professor picked up a 3 of clubs and pasted it on another On the card, the suits of the two cards overlapped, forming a strange pattern. "For example, in another universe, Mandela may have died in prison due to physical reasons, and in some way it is mapped to the memories of people in this world." ”
"In other words, there is such a cruise ship in another universe, and the three of us are discussing this matter, but the conclusion may be completely different?" He Chi took up the conversation from the side.
"Exactly correct, maybe the reward promised to me in another universe is 10,000 yuan." The professor said from the side.
"With all due respect, no matter how many identical worlds there are, I think five thousand dollars is already the most generous price." Garcia also interjected.
He Chi nodded, "I understand what you mean. You are saying that the situation that Lisa and Laura encountered in the South Pacific is similar to the Mandela Effect. Everyone's memory is affected differently. Interference in the plane world? "
"This is just one of the speculations, because I can't really verify it, unless there is someone who can actually travel between the two planes. "
What Professor Craig said made He Chi moved, and then he asked, "Are there any other similar examples of the Mandela Effect?"
"Well, there are many such cases. For example, there was a movie In old movies..."
"What about events in a specific time period?" He Chi asked.
“Which specific time period?” “During World War II.”
"Well... yes, the Kaga effect." Professor Craig said with certainty. "You are from the history department. You must know where the Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga sank in World War II, right?"
"Uh. ..." He Chi hesitated and tried to say "Midway?"
"Yes" Professor Craig nodded and continued, "But at least one-third of the students have been answering this question in the past two years. When asked, I would choose Hawaii, which is Pearl Harbor.”
"These students swore that they clearly remembered that the Kaga was sunk by the torpedo carrier-based aircraft from the Enterprise's counterattack at Pearl Harbor, but in fact, the Enterprise's counterattack fleet did not find any at all at that time. Enemies."
"What's even more interesting is that many of these students are not bad academics. They often get A's. In the end, even I can't explain why they make such stupid mistakes."
"I understand..." He Chi nodded and stood up. "Professor, thank you very much. I will transfer the money to your account later."
After leaving there, He Chi seemed worried, Constan He was not sure of Ding's whereabouts, but the questions that had been bothering him seemed to have answers.
The so-called copy is probably a real world, and because of his existence, the history of that world has shifted to a certain extent, leaving some traces in his own world.
For example, the so-called "Kaga effect", and this is definitely not the only one.
The next day He Chi knocked directly on the door of Gianna’s dormitory, “Can you tell me your grandma’s story?”
Later, Gianna's answer confirmed his guess, "Well, yes, my grandma was born in Kiev. She also participated in World War II and joined the women's shooting team. She said that she participated in several guerrilla wars, but did not achieve very impressive results. Then She moved to Minsk in 1944 and stayed there. "
"She told me that she didn't know why she felt so familiar with Chinese when she was a child. Later, Chinese people came here to do business, and many Chinese were spoken. She memorized the word after saying it once..."
"Later, I don't know where there was a rumor, saying that during the Great Patriotic War, there was a female sniper with the same name as her grandmother who killed hundreds of German soldiers by herself, and there were also people I came to Minsk to check with my grandma, and it turned out that not only was my grandma not the person, but there was no such person in the file. The stories were just legends passed down by word of mouth without any support."
"So that's it," He Chi sighed. One breath.
It seems that without her involvement in World War II, Tanya would have been a plain girl living her life.
Maybe this is also a kind of happiness for her.
In the days that followed, He Chi collected a large number of wild historical legends of World War II on the Internet and found many shadows of his companions from another world.
Of course, there is also his.
"The legend of Hepburn's never-released movie"
"The legend of the Queen's mysterious captain of the bodyguard"
"The Legend of the Lucky Rabbit of MI6"
"The Legend of the White Knight"
These stories are all stories recorded orally based on the skewed memories of some people. He Chi faintly discerned from these stories Yueyue could see everyone's future, and her mood was a little complicated for a while.
It’s just that He Chi discovered that there was a person he cared about very much who had left no trace in history, not even a single word.
