What is causing the Mandela Effect?

I've just recently been noticing many examples of the Mandela Effect, and I've been watching quite a few videos on this lately. 

There are more than a couple that are really getting to me. What could actually be the cause of such a phenomenon is beyond me. I do not have a clear explanation. No one seems to have a great explanation, but there do seem to be some theories.

One theory is that there are parallel universes, and everything that you know, past, present, future, is, has already, and is going, to happen.. Like a still frame image out of a movie, you can move to any reality and visit time from that still frame vantage point. This would mean there are an infinite amounts of copies of ourselves, (or unfathomable numbers) in many different locations, and/or possible dimensions. If this is possible, the theory is that you may shift to another reality without realizing it. You may die in one reality, then just shift to another simultaneously. If this were to happen, the idea is that every reality will have slight variations in the reality of everything that has occurred. If large populations were to move realities (from war?) for whatever reason because of a mass reduction of population, there would be many people that share similar memories, and experience confusion associated with the reality that their reality does not exist, and never did.

There are plenty of other theories as well, and they are all interesting. I don't know which one I prescribe to right now. 

The one that hits me the hardest is the Ed McMahon Mandela, where I remember him delivering checks in the 80's from Publishers Clearing House, and toting the slogan "You might already be a winner". But of course this never happened in this reality, he never worked for them, he never delivered checks out of a white prize patrol van with red balloons, and a bunch of "cheesy" actors pretending to be excited... But there is plenty of "residue" around from this one. He even made a video right before he passed away rapping about it. Very interesting topic, very interesting question.

Hey man! It's been quite some time but I'm back and this one gets me too. How I thought of it is the bubble theory and how universes are created non stop and it never ends. It's just too deep to go into right now.... But just like... The earth is 13.7 Billion years old. Infinite Universes have been made in one I made a slight typo of this in another I didn't respond. Plus living in a simulation... BLOWS MY MIND

Hey bro!, Nice to see you :) Yes, it's something that is very hard to comprehend, let alone fully wrap your mind around. The simulation theory really blows my mind. That's another one I have been thinking about constantly. Scientists have laid claim to the fact that there is raw computer code in atomic "matter", and there seems to be a staggering amount of evidence to back this theory up. No solid proof of course, but it's certainly another mind bender.

There has to be an explanation for this effect, more than a "simple trick of the mind".

Agreed, but for now it seems the answer is beyond us, or just undiscovered.
