5 Minute Hypothesis - Everything Was Made 5 Minutes Ago - Silence - 07-04-2016
As the title said, what if everything was created 5 minutes ago with built in memory traces? Everything you know, or think you know, was created 5 minutes ago. There was nothing before, you just think that you lived a life that wasn't there? Everything that you think you know has been fabricated and distorted but you yourself are only 5 minutes old.

We'll never know, however I think you should look up Clive Wearing, I learnt about him in psychology studying memory, he can't form new memories so he basically lives a 30-60 second snippet of time at any point.

I don't know how his family could bear to see him like that. I've heard of him before, but still that must be horrible. You don't know what you're living with, but everyone else does.

I don't know much about his family but he has a wife, and she's the one he remembers the most
