- why is 1 / 3 = 0,33333333 and 3 x 1/3 = 1 but 3 x 0,3333333 is only 0,999999 where is the 0,000000...1 (somewhere on my keyboard is probably a sign for an endlessly repeating number but I have no clue where ...)
P.S.: Now the madella effect does not let me see my editet posts and shows just an empty screen afterwards .... *X-Files-Theme*

That's arguable, we certainly travel through time.. its just a question of whether or not we can "toy" with it beyond relativistic shenanigans like going really fast while another subject(s) is not. We are time traveling right now though. So, there is that, even if its not quite the sci-fi take on things.
The thread itself is about time travel and ME, so while it may be a different story, it might be fun to weave them together.
I believe the Mandela Effect is a real thing, but I am not certain as to what that actually means.

I am a great "fan" of the double slit experiment ...can you elaborate on that pls? Is this different from the "normal" double slit experiment and the wave function collapse? I am kinda confused here as I don´t see how this this can show the possibility of backwards time travel - or time travel in general.
I am aware of superpositions and that the more you want to pin down something in place the more it will evade you in time and vice versa but I always though that this is only the conclusion out of the reversed equation and probably never really understood it completely - but is that what you ment?
And pls give some irrefutable examples of the mandela effect if you are so sure about it (don´t want to sound hostile or something - this is a very interessting topic)
So if you put the Observer at a point past the double slit when the particle becomes a wave it's as though it's always been a wave. It was a particle - but observing it past the slit indicates it was always a wave (since the beginning of time). This is another hard concept to explain (for me anyway) - but it's proven (and lends credence to the ME).
Thanks for saying that wasn't hostile. I don't have irrefutable proof - no one does. I am so sure about it because it affects things that have been around me for years. Speaking of the power of observation - I'm starting to wonder if folks that are "Effected" generally pay more attention to the things around them - where the "Uneffected" just let the world pass by as is with their own understanding of what reality should be.

I thought about that... wondered if all the hard copies changed as well... in the case of star wars surely there's original action figures in someone's private collection that can provide proof? Problem is that if the ME is a real phenomenon even the figures will change and there'll be no proof.
Paradox!
I think you might like a Dean Koontz book called Lightning. I just got done reading it. Your last exclamation seems to indicate perhaps you already have

I'm happy to hear people chiming in on this line of thought!
I'm one of those people that are very aware of my surroundings and I do believe this may be one of the keys at least.
I have been having a bunch of little time glitches myself lately. Seeing as the job I have keeps me aware of the time and distance and it very noticeable.
Back in 2014 I had a very factual thing happen to me concerning a mole on my neck I have had all my life front and center. To notice it just missing all the sudden over night for a week or so, talk to the wife and roommate about it as it was a bit distressing, to having it reappear and they have no recollection of the conversation at all, well, what do you say to that?
I'm off to work now, but looking forward to maybe more personal stories too along with the theories.

Satan gives you selective hearing and selective memory.
Admitting to Mandela Experience is admitting Satanic possession.

Math and science are all theories. Mathematical formulas don't equate to reality, they're just numbers which can be manipulated to suit the agenda or hidden if desired.
That's so untrue it's not even funny. Math is the language in which our universe is written and functions. The laws of Gravity for example aren't just made up, they can't be manipulated by just any mathematician with an axe to grind.
Ok ...as a rather simple minded person that never liked math that much can I ask you :
- Isn´t basically all math just axioms
aaaaaaand
