This thread is illustrating the degree to which some people are literally not in the real world. Psychologists call it "Psychosis" and it is leading to "Paranoia". It is a form of "Hallucination". As children we develop a "world picture" but this picture in our mind is illusionary. If as is the case in this thread the child builds up a picture that is defective it can be a painful process in later years as adult to correct that misunderstanding. Obviously such misunderstandings are not just in the area of geography. This is actually a major problem. "Psychosis" is a crippling disease of the mind that we need to cure by the implimentation of a move towards more open mindedness. One should always be ready to admit oneself as being in error.
You obviously have not read all the posts thoroughly or would have read that it is not only memories from childhood that are discussed here, but adult memory from not too long ago, people are saying things seem to have changed practically overnight in some cases.
One should always be ready to admit oneself as being in error.
One should take ones own advice.

This whole thing is destroying ATS. It's a plague of ignorance.
Just because you really really suck at Geography does not mean that the timeline has shifted.
Stop with these threads about continents moving, it's really disturbing even.

this is the problem that I have with the idea of timeline shift affecting the position of the world map: What could have possibly changed in an historical timeline that would flip New Zealand to the other side of Australia?

I absolutely remember being taught the elliptical orbit theory... although that could have been the current thinking at the time, and science has simply updated its theories.

Is it being suggested that all the navigators (ships, planes) are 'in on' this secret ?
Plane set off from Sydney Australia with 231 passengers who've booked a flight to New Zealand (a trip they might have made several times)
... (deleted to not use too much space - just identifying where pulling my response from)...
The above could all be asked in relation to all the other places which are suspected of 'changing location'
Any answers ?

The timeline with no Van Halen was a a bit sucky!
The Key to False Memories Uncovered
Duke University Medical Center neuroscientists say the places a memory is processed in the brain may determine how someone can be absolutely certain of a past event that never occurred. These findings could help physicians better appreciate the memory changes that accompany normal aging or even lead to tools for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, according to Duke neuroscientist Roberto Cabeza, Ph.D. Information retrieved from memory is processed in two specific regions of the brain exactly at the same time. Each of these areas focuses on a different aspect of the past event. The medial temporal lobe (MTL), located at the base of the brain, focuses on specific facts about the event. The frontal parietal network (FPN), located at the top of the brain, is more likely to process the global gist of the event. Which brain area is accessed when trying to remember something will determine whether or not we think the memory is true or false, researchers found. "Human memory is not like computer memory - it isn't completely right all the time," said Cabeza, senior author of the paper. "There are many occasions when people feel strongly about past events, even though they might not have occurred." Cabeza scanned the brains of healthy volunteers with functional MRI as they took well-established tests of memory and false memory. Functional MRI is an imaging technique that shows what areas of the brain are used during specific mental tasks. Cabeza found that volunteers who were highly confident in memories that were indeed true showed increased activity in the fact-oriented MTL region. Volunteers who showed high confidence in memories that turned out to be false exhibited increased activity in the impressionistic FPN. People drawing from this area of the brain recalled the general idea of the event, and while they felt confident about their memories, they were often mistaken as they could not recall the details of the memory. "Specific memories don't last forever, but what ends up lasting are not specific details, but more general or global impressions," Cabeza said. "Past studies have shown that as normal brains age, they tend to lose the ability to recollect specifics faster than they lose the ability recall impressions. However, patients with Alzheimer's disease tend to lose both types of memories equally, which may prove to be a tool for early diagnosis."

The town AND some cities are entirley different.
YES a whole different set of friends, my fun ones fro before...

It is super weird rembering so much from each shift.
Then again they cant keep me under with anesthetic etc when they took out my tonsils and wisdom teeth etc...
Mabey the ones who don't rember much are being drugged etc??
