This is believed because this information has been around for generations. However with our technology today, most of these facts can be proven wrong. 

Connection: In this video, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk believes that aliens built the pyramids in Egypt. The tallest pyramid, Great Pyramid of Giza, is the only one of the 9 wonders of the world that still stands today. It was also the tallest structure built by human for 3800 years. Musk believes that they were built by aliens because they didn't have a lot of tools 4000 years ago. However, there is no proof of aliens helping the Ancient Egyptians build the pyramids. He even says that Pharaoh Ramses II; who started the plan of building the pyramids, may be an alien. ]]> 2022-02-12 19:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044005184 christiansonethan https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044027556 Definition: Confirmation bias is proving an opinion or statement with evidence that supports it and ignoring the evidence that doesn't. 

Connection: Many people want to know how their future will be such as how long they'll live, what will be their future job, and if they'll be happy. Some of them will go to psychics to read their future. When they get their readings, many will focus on the most correct once and believe that the psychic knows everything about them. However, they tend to ignore the readings that don't relate to them. ]]> 2022-02-12 20:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044027556 christiansonethan https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044028309 Definition: Appeal to authority is believing in a theory because another person or group that is famous or known believes it. 

Connection: Back in the day, cigarettes were advertised everywhere. Even doctors recommended them to people. However, once more evidence came out on how bad they are, they stopped those advertisements. Now there are advertisements against smoking them. ]]> 2022-02-12 20:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044028309 christiansonethan https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044255558 Definition: Red herring is providing information that doesn't relate to the topic and doesn't show actual evidence to the topic

Connection: Many people believe that the moon landing was a staged event. Some believe that the Americans wanted to beat the Russians to it. So they got Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to film the event on a secret set. This information distracts us from the real information on the moon landing.]]> 2022-02-13 05:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044255558 christiansonethan https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044309552 Definition: Suppression of authority is when a person or group of people who have power try to mislead a theory with their own information.

Connection: North Korea is very isolated country. Barely anyone outside of it knows what happens there. One time Otto Warmbier, an American college student, went on a trip to North Korea. While in his hotel, he tried to steal a propaganda poster. He was caught, arrested, and was held captive there for a year and a half. Once the U.S. finally got him sent back home. On the flight back, he was in a coma and supposedly had been for months. When examined in a medical hospital it was said that he had suffered sever brain damage. The North Korean reason to this was an unexpected reaction to a sleeping pill. However, many American doctors said this information is false. Warmbier never recovered from this and couldn't tell his side of the story.]]> 2022-02-13 07:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044309552 christiansonethan https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044747948 Definition: Patternicity is finding significant in non significant images.

Connection: In this image of a normal spiral staircase, it looks a little weird. The stairs look like their bending as the stairs go down but it's because the stairs are getting smaller since they're getting farther from the camera.]]> 2022-02-13 17:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044747948 christiansonethan https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044767147 Definition: Perception and observation are observations along with beliefs that influence a decision. It can also be based off of memory.

Connection: This photo represents the Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect is when something a lot of people think happened but didn't really happen. So they blame it on the Mandela Effect. In this image there are two pictures of Curious George. The one on the left is him having a tail and the other he doesn't. A large group of people remember him a having a tail. However, he never did have a tail. So, many people blame this on the Mandela Effect.]]> 2022-02-13 17:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044767147 christiansonethan https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044771618 Definition: Simplicity is providing a simple answer with proof of an event that has strange coincidences. 

Connection: In this photo, a normal photo was taken of four people. However, there is a "figure" in the building behind them in the window. This could be a random person in the building that could've looked at the photo at the right moment. It could also be some kind of object that's in the shape of a person. It could've also been edited in after the photo was taken. However, many people will believe that this is a sighting of something paranormal since it's the easiest answer.]]> 2022-02-13 17:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044771618 christiansonethan https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044888788 Define the problem: The Mandela Effect is the memory of something that didn't actually happen. One example is Queens hit song We Are The Champions. At the end of the song, a lot of people believe that Freddy Mercury sings "we are the champion... of the world". However he says instead "we are the champions".

Gather Information: This is a YouTube video describes what the Mandela Effect is. A lot of theorists believe that the Mandela Effect happens because of time travel or a parallel universe. However, in this video he explains that it's because if collective misremembering and psychological tricks. 

Evaluate Evidence: This source provides lots of scientific research into what our minds think and how it can trick us. He also uses scientific theories to why we remember things that really didn't happen. He uses examples to test his theory in the video to prove what he means.

Recognize Assumptions, Emotions, Biases: When watching this video, it's hard to find any assumptions, emotions, or biases. All of the information is backed up with lots of research to prove what he is saying is correct. In fact, he even tries to prove the other assumptions and biases from theorists wrong with his argument.

Synthesis Evidence, Identify Alternatives:

#1 Alternative: Everything people remember actually did happen and was changed due to time travel or through a parallel universe.

#2 Alternative: Our minds are tricking us into thinking that things that did happen but they really didn't.

Best Alternative: I believe that the second alternative is the best choice. Although it is fun to believe that time travel is happening. The research put into this video explaining why we remember things that didn't happen proves everything. Even when I see patterns in stuff like Pikachu or Curious George, my mind tricks me into things that actually didn't happen.]]> 2022-02-13 19:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/christiansonethan/u2pnmuto343qgjeh/wish/2044888788
