I'm not a quantum mechanic expert or scientist. I have become a believer in multiple realities through personal experience.

(Edit: I'm not usually conspiracy theorist, I don't believe in god/religion, I believe in science, global warming, wearing masks, etc...but sometimes your eyes see things you can't unsee).

You read about how Apollo 13 the movie with Tom Hanks has a calm Tom Hanks saying: "Houston, We've Had a Problem", then you read a list of Mandela Effects a few days later and it says that the actual lines are "Houston, we HAVE a problem", you verify with your wife who watched the clip all 10 times last week, and you watch it with her another 10 times just to make sure, you have her pinch you...

Lo and behold, reality has changed. No idea how, others agree with you, but that's irrelevant since you don't need to believe them or not because you now how personal proof, which most people will say is not proof it's just "Mis-remembering" but have you ever watched something with full awareness and intention with another person to see what the actual "fact" is at the time?

Did you forget the outcome 3 days later? Most people would say empatically no, they did not. So if 3 days later you have not forgotten the fact, but the fact has changed via sources online that are trusted (often the same sources), is it not suggestive that something has changed? Or that perhaps reality is really some-part subjective?

Is it hard to consider that reality could be partially dependent on those in the reality? what if reality is consensus based?

If 10 people have a fact and 6 people believe chartreuse is maroon, and 4 people believe chartreuse is green, then it's really green. In fact I'd say a lot of facts in life are based on consensus. Colors are labels, and if the majority think blue is green and green is blue, then seems like people will be calling green blue and vice versa.

That's more though about a group-think decision on what something means. When a literal historical fact or video changes almost before your very eyes, it's very hard to dispute...

That's what was said in the actual Apollo 13 mission, which might be the source of confusion. Surely "multiple realities" is a bit more far fetched than "sometimes people are wrong in similar ways"?
