Welcome back to Awakened Exchanges! I’m your host Jay Rich and this is our first holiday episode! This whole month I’ll be focused on fun things that bring me, and hopefully you, joy. Our first episode this month is with Nick Hinton himself, and if the name sounds familiar, that’s probably because you know him as “the conspiracy guy on Twitter.” If everything goes as planned, we should have a very special Christmas Eve with a former member of the Borg themselves! Stay tuned for more info!

My introduction to Nick was because of a Mandela Effect post that happened to catch my eye. I've been interested in the subject since my introduction to the Berenstain vs Berenstein Bears phenomenon. Once I started researching, I found that there were a few things that stuck with me on the anomalous side, whereas a few I remembered “the correct way.” While I’m sure that memory is malleable, I also started seriously considering what bigger implications could be made. I’m a believer in Hugh Everett’s Multiverse Hypothesis, but I like to think of the decision tree as branchial time,  where each decision can branch off into multiple lines. If most of those decisions only affect you or a limited number of people, then you can think of those branches eventually being clipped back off into what we’ll call the current consensus reality. My particular thought is, what if the Mandela Effect was actually caused by larger branches of time that were merged on top of one another? Two similar universes, with minor differences in the timeline, dimensionally merged together somehow. This is where I bring up CERN and the fact that the Large Hadron Collider was built in 2008...the year before Fiona Broome launched the Mandela Effect website to ask people if they also remembered Nelson Mandela’s funeral, even though he didn’t die until 2013. There was talk early on about the collider possibly causing miniature black holes, but scientists weren’t concerned as they would burn themselves out before reaching critical mass. That said, in November 2009, Sergio Bertolucci, the Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN, said that what they were attempting to do was akin to opening a door and that, I quote, "Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it." That may have you thinking about Stranger Things and The Upside Down, but what if that door was just to one, or many, very similar realities that share space with us here and now? More in the podcast.

I get the feeling that there are a large number of our audience this week that will be coming here to hear Nick speak.  Nick is known as one of the conspiracy theory gurus on Twitter and he first got major attention for his Saturn Time Cube posts. He had compiled a lot of information from various sources and made it a lot more accessible for psychonauts and conspiracy buffs to make it through, eventually publishing his first book on the subject.  I get the feeling that we could have gotten going on a number of topics and I hope to have him back on the show someday to do just that. This was one of my favorite conversations yet, and I truly hope that you enjoy this fun little holiday gift to kick off December.
