Why would it make you sad? 
Looked it up. Blue is right. Bonsai trunk seems to be shown as both black or brown.

String theory is fairly heavily frowned upon now
Right now, I believe that the E8 Lattice Theory of the Universe is what the closest bet is
That doesn't rule out multiverses, either

I always thought the inner-city Sydney suburb of Surry Hills was spelled 'Surrey Hills' like its counterpart in Melbourne. I swear the Sydney suburb was spelled 'Surrey Hills' too and never noticed the different spelling until very recently. When I was younger I read the books 'Harp In the South' and 'Poor Man's Orange' by Ruth Park which take place in Surry Hills just after World War II when this was one of Sydney's worst areas, and still always thought it was spelled Surrey.

Ive lived in Sydney for a decade and yes it's always been Surrey Hills ... In my parallel universe anyway. Keen to here what other Sydney-siders say.

It’s blue apparently according to the movie producers.
Does it look blue to you?

Ok, so I'm highly sceptical of this phenomenon being anything more than just collective false memories but this one particular example is doing my head in.
The Elephant Man.
John or Joseph Merrick?
My memory says John but it's actually Joseph, which just doesn't sound right to me.
In my mind The Elephant Man has always been John Merrick.
From wikipedia:
"Joseph Carey Merrick (5 August 1862 – 11 April 1890), often erroneously called John Merrick, was an English man known for having severe deformities. He was first exhibited at a freak show as the "Elephant Man", and then went to live at the London Hospital after he met Frederick Treves, subsequently becoming well known in London society."
The movie synopsis mentions his name as Joseph, which is the most likely place for the incorrect name to get 'implanted' so how do enough people mistake "Joseph" for "John"? for it to be referenced in Wikipedia.

The Mandela Effect will take on grand proportions when it effects one's own life/past. Like your own name suddenly drops an e, or the family photo is suddenly wrong in some detail, etc. That's currently the only thing holding this phenomenon back from being proven imo. It just touches other things. But what does Danielle Steel(e) herself remember? What do Christopher Reeve(s), Sally Field(s), and Barb(e)ra Streisland remember? Or the Berenste/ain family?
I’m guessing people are confusing the movie with the real guy. His name was changed to John for the movie.
I know for a fact that I was corrected in school one day about my misspelling of the word dilemma. That it should be dilemna.
This article even mentions it as a possible Mandela Effect, mentions some residue, but it gives plausible reasons why our brains MIGHT have misspelled it all this time. But articles can't erase distinct memory of my classroom teacher bending over my table with her sweet scent and correcting my spelling, saying to remember it has an m and an n.
I am curious to know if anyone else has had this particular experience with the word dilemma and having been corrected in school that it should be spelled dilemna?
‘Dilemma’ or ‘Dilemna’?
Do you have trouble spelling the word “dilemma”? I’m nearly certain I was taught the wrong spelling in school, and when I got older and checked a dictionary, I was shocked to find that the word is spelled "dilemma." Further, the only correct spelling is “www.quickanddirtytips.com

This was a strong personal memory, being corrected in class due to the teachers pretty ways. Alt-universe busted!
Just found the weirdest ME yet.
I could have sworn it was Kylie Minogue that was in neighbours. But looking back now it was actually Danni Minogue.

I've remembered another one regarding an episode of a TV show.
Years ago, I would religiously watch the UK police drama show 'The Bill'. This was before things went pear-shaped in the late 1990s and they started concentrating on the characters personal lives leading the once great show to becoming a soap opera - a really bad soap opera by the 2000s - before turning back to a police procedural show - unfortunately by this time a very bad police procedural show - before it was euthanized around 2010.
But going back to the golden era of the show in the late 1980s and early 1990s, while The Bill overall high standard overall some episodes as with any long running TV show would stay in the viewers' minds longer. For me, one particular episode I really enjoyed I would have seen in early 1991 and it revolved around a series of strange goings-on late at night, and reports of people seeing a large unidentified cat in the area. The police of course are skeptical of the reports but when an investigation is launched, it proves to be true. There really is a black panther roaming the area, and it belongs to some weirdo who hoards all these exotic animals kept illegally in his council house. He has grown afraid of the panther as it got larger and cannot control it, instead letting it free at nights to roam around the neighborhood.
The episode was really exciting and always stuck in my mind - but I never saw it again and years later I can find no evidence that it actually exists. I have been through listings of The Bill episodes around this time and several years before and after in case I got the year I watched it wrong - nothing on any website such as IMDB, Wikipedia or sites for The Bill itself. I checked it out on Youtube, and nothing there either. There is a 1989 Bill Episode called 'Feasting With Panthers' and one time I was searching the episode was up on Youtube, but it was not the episode I remembered and had nothing to do with actual panthers.
So what to make of this mystery episode? Could I really have fallen asleep one night and dreamed a whole episode of The Bill, which I then falsely remembered as being real down to minute details? I wouldn't have thought so, but maybe I did? Or are there any other posters who used to watch The Bill back in the early 1990s and remember this episode too, proving that I'm not mad and don't go around dreaming up episodes of TV shows?

Interesting. I was convinced for a while that I’d seen an alternate ending to Inception, where DiCaprios character comes home and finds his children have been killed by his wife. I’d seen Inception once, years before, then watched it again years later, and was waiting for the ending, and it didn’t happen? I spent the rest of the night googling alternate endings to the movie, finding nothing. I then realised a few days later, it was Shutter Island where his kids are drowned by his wife 
completely different movie. Our memories have weird ways of piecing things together sometimes. Not saying your Bill episode didn’t happen, just that I had a similar thing happen, but it was me being an idiot, more than an alternate universe.

Danni was actually in Home and Away in 1989/1990, but she's done comparatively f*ck-all else apart from music vids and a few gigs on talent shows
