Human brain malfunction phenomenon

Why humans are the best of creation among other creatures? It's because we have a developed brain making us think better than any other creation and implement something from our perception. But does that mean our brain is always right? Does our brain show us something that may not follow the rules of reality? Apparently, our brains can do a lot of things which can manipulate our understandings and project something that isn't true or real. Here are some anomalies that suggests our perception of reality might not be as straightforward as we assume.

Mandela Effect: Shared false memories hint at reality shifts.

The Mandela effect occurs when large groups falsely remember events differently than recorded history, leading to theories of reality patches or shifts between parallel universes. Knowing something wrong for a long time then discovering it was never that way is simply put as Mandela Effect. The name Mandela effect came from famous activist Nelson Mandela. There was a time when a large group of people thought he died and remember seeing that news on tv but that never happened. Nelson Mandela was in jail at that time and when he got out, he became the president of South Africa. He died later in 2013.

Deja Vu: A brain misfire or proof of time loops?

Deja vu is often explained as a brain misfire, but some interpret it as evidence of time loops or alternate timelines. Thinking the present event occurred exactly before in front of you but it never happened is called Deja vu. This phenomenon is mostly common among people and often happens on public places making us think we knew the future all along, but it was our brain playing tricks on us.

Missing Time: Unexplained gaps in personal timelines

This mostly happens when we are busy at something, and we forget how fast time went. We completely lose the track of time in a certain period. It's like someone waking up at morning and at night he forgot what happened at noon and lost the whole memory of time. Missing time phenomena, where individuals lose track of hours or minutes inexplicably, challenge conventional explanations like highway hypnosis.

Bystander Effect: Why groups fail to act despite individual willingness

The bystander effect highlights societal behavior where individuals fail to act due to diffusion of responsibility, though some speculate deeper glitches in human consciousness. Let's imagine a scenario where a woman's purse got robbed in front of you. But your body didn't move an inch thinking someone else will help her. But everyone witnessing that also thought the same thing.

Sleep Paralysis: Hallucinations accompany paralysis, suggesting unseen presences

Sometimes a person can hallucinate suddenly while sleeping. One's body gets numb and paralyzed while in the state of sleep paralysis. They might see a shadowy figure standing or sitting on their body or in a corner of the room. Different People have different experience when this occurs. But there is nothing to do when this happens. But it doesn't affect your body afterwards.

Quantum Immortality: Consciousness survives death in alternate realities

Quantum immortality is a speculative and controversial idea that arises from the many-worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics. It suggests that a conscious observer might never experience death in a subjective sense. When someone is about to die, they transfer to a different reality where they survived that event. This idea came from a man named Frano Selak. He survived a lot of accidents including train derailing, car crash, plane crash, bus accident, etc. Later on, he was named the luckiest man on earth.

Seeing strangers in dreams: unknown people appearing in dream

Sometimes we see our relatives or friends in our dreams. But some people have discovered unknown people in dreams. This has a logical explanation but not proved. We see different people on streets or public places everywhere. Their faces might be captured in our subconscious mind, then we see them in our dreams. This might not happen to everybody, but many people have seen unknown peoples in their dream.

These phenomena raise questions about the nature of reality, memory, and consciousness, leaving us to ponder whether we are experiencing glitches, alternate realities, or simply limitations of human perception.
