Memory is a very imprecise mechanism. To me, the most surprising thing about this whole Mandella effect thing is that some people find the likelihood of some sort of unevidenced, indetectable, mass dimension jump being greater than misremembering. Many studies have been done that demonstrate well that our memories are mutable and unreliable. A good example is a memory study done by NYU on how well people remembered their personal experience of the attacks on September 11th, 2001. People were very confident that their memories were correct, but just over half the people in the study were correct in their memories three years later.
