What if there was a past where the light went right a million years ago?

What if there's a past where a meteor didn't kill the dinosaurs?

There's a past where the meteor did kill the dinosaurs.

What if there's a past where the guy in Tiananmen Square got run over by the tank?

And what if there's a past where the guy didn't get run over by the tank?

And so what the Cosmic Delay Choice Experiment tells us when they've tried to do this

And they do it using double slits.

But they sent like some light through like one of these two slits up to a satellite that was like a thousand miles away or something like that.

I forget exactly how many miles, but it takes like whatever, a fraction of a second to get there.

But there is some appreciable time between when it has to go through the slit and when it reaches the satellite so they can measure it.

And it turns out that it confirmed what Wheeler was talking about in the delayed choice experiment was that that choice of whether to go through the slit on the left or the right wasn't actually made until the satellite measured that photon.

So what it meant was that there were two possible paths.

Now, that's a very short period of time we're talking about here, less than a second, but

But in the case of the cosmic delayed choice experiment, we're talking about a million years ago.

A decision would have had to have been made a million years ago whether to go left or right because that's what we think of as the past, right?

But what the delayed choice experiment is telling us is that doesn't actually happen until now.

So what if these Mandela effects are going right back to your very first question or one of your first questions to me, which is how do I know this is what happened in the past, right?

Right.

Right.

Exactly.
