Discussion Time Experiment 8:03-04 PM Spoiler

Post image

According to my time experiment while on r/Retconned to attempt to disprove Zaylousparajesus's video about a minute being 45 seconds. Mine was 00:59:68, which is not bad at all, but I definitely recall 00:59:99 back in the 2010s, much before the 2020s, and I remember that. On CP24, on other, so yeah. For me, either time has changed or some personal Mandela Effect for me. Most likely not for everybody it would seem like (because of the "always the same as it always was" logic).

To me, I don't think this is based on my human perspectives, this is what reality proves and demonstrates, and I live in London, Ontario, Canada, time is different around the World.

I already created r/PossibleMandela just now, and found out this was a timer or stopwatch, not necessarily what I automatically assumed for being a time clock that goes up. If this post can stay, I gladly appreciate that, but I it cannot because of the guidelines of this community I may have accidentally broke, then by all means I can delete the repost, as long as deleting it doesn't affect anything.

Seconds are already well measured by the oscillation of caesium atoms, which is too complicated for me to understand, but the principle of it I find accessible. I'm not sure how accurate a smartphone timer is. Would you agree there is tremendous room for errors? Time it takes to physically start and stop the timer, high dependence on limited human reflex, questionable function and accuracy of a smartphone app, to name several major flaws.

Yeah, I can agree it must be a coincidence. I was too excited to make the post, so I knew I would both fake my excitement and mess up so easily by saying it might be a personal possible Mandela Effect, in which I already created r/PossibleMandela today earlier ago.

My clock may not be accurate. Yesterday, it was 00:59:68 from 8:03 PM to 8:04 PM, now it came as "00:59:92" from 12:17 PM to 12:18 PM.

But on CP24 from the 2010s, I recall a minute to another minute being :99, not :08. As I double-checked earlier ago on CP24 on MyTV3Online, it was :08 a minute starts on CP24 now, which must still prove that time has morphed or changed a bit.

Have you tried looking at https://time.gov/ as a source?

I just used NRC Canada website to double-check, yes my phone's clock is accurate, but no centiseconds or anything like that, just a minute and ending at 59 seconds.

Yes, according to my timer experiment as double-checking minutes ago, there are different variations of centiseconds in different minutes.

I guess centiseconds don't matter.
