Only just started looking into it, what an interesting theory. Personally I think many of the examples can be explained rationally by many of us having the same false memories from a younger age e. g. Assuming a famous actor had already died because he hadn't made any films for a long time, or thinking that parts of the world map had changed because many of us looked at similar simplified (inaccurate) maps made for children, in our youth. Yet there are other examples that cannot be explained as rationally. And there have been times where I thought I remembered an event happening differently only to find out I was wrong, which freaks you out at the time.

I'm not sure about the whole altering of time notion (mainly as it goes over ny head) but certainly an interesting theory and worthy of more investigation from me.

Its been a while since I read 1984 (Orwell) but I'm sure the main character describes this very same feeling, that he's being told that world events happened differently to how he remembered them. I will have to dig the book out again.
