Mysteries of Earth that have not been Revealed

Mysteries of Earth that have not been Revealed


Despite the progress and achievements in science and technology, people still do not thoroughly understand our planet.


To explain why Earth has humidity, the scientists said that the Earth is a dry ice block after formation 4.5 billion years ago. Earth formed its reservoirs in the phase of collisions with icy asteroids. Nevertheless, the origin of water on our planet remains a mystery because there is little evidence remaining stones from this period.


Iron and nickel are absent in the crust of the planet, it may exist in Earth's core. However, the gravity measurements in the 1950s revealed that this was incorrect. Earth's core is too light. Today, researchers continue to speculate the elements leading to the lack of proportion below the Earth's crust.


There is no global consensus about the terrible collision theory between Earth and a planet the size of Mars that formed the Moon, because some details are not clear. Still, a young Earth, spinning faster could emissions molten rock enough during a collision to form a moon has a similar chemical composition, according to other research models.


In terms of the origins of life on Earth, scientists now have not detected any direct fossil traces about the first inhabitants of the Earth, which may be the natural bacteria chew rocks shui. However, the most basic elements of life, such as amino acids and vitamins, were found on the ice particles inside asteroids and in the most extreme environments on Earth.


According to scientists, our survival depends on the cyanobacteria, microorganisms helped fundamental change Earth's atmosphere. They emit oxygen and make the atmosphere full of oxygen for the first time about 2.4 billion years ago. However, ice shedding, oxygen levels up and down like a rollercoaster for 3 billion years, until it was stable in the Cambrian period, about 541 million years ago.


The thin arrays on the Earth’s crust are collisions create the spectacle of majestic mountains and volcanic eruptions violently. However, geologists are still not aware of the time of onset of collision of plate tectonics.


Statistical models can generate forecasts about the possibility of earthquakes in the future, similar to the meteorological experts warn of upcoming rain. However, that does not help people get rid of the failure to predict the next earthquake.

Are Aliens Hiding From Us?

Are Aliens Hiding From Us?


After observing 100,000 galaxies using NASA’s WISE orbiting observatory, scientists concluded that there is no evidence of ET civilizations.

Jason T. Wright, an assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds at Penn State University explained that “The idea behind our research is that, if an entire galaxy had been colonized by an advanced space-faring civilization, the energy produced by that civilization’s technologies would be detectable in mid infra-red wavelengths—exactly the radiation that the WISE satellite was designed to detect for other astronomical purposes.”


Moreover, he added that “Whether an advanced space-faring civilization uses the large amounts of energy from its galaxy’s stars to power computers, space flight, communication, or something we can’t yet imagine, fundamental thermodynamics tells us that this energy must be radiated away as heat in the mid-infra-red wavelengths. This same basic physics causes your computer to radiate heat while it is turned on.”


Freeman Dyson’s theory in 1960s stated that ET could be detected by telltale evidence of their mid infra-red emissions. And this is how WISE satellite works when it measures the radiation emitted in the space.

After searching, Wright and his partners said “We found about 50 galaxies that have unusually high levels of mid infra-red radiation. Our follow-up studies of those galaxies may reveal if the origin of their radiation results from natural astronomical processes, or if it could indicate the presence of a highly advanced civilization.”


They also found a bright nebula near the star 48 Librae and a group of objects that seams black when observed by telescopes that only see visible light. Scientists believe they are young star in the forming process inside an undiscovered molecular cloud. However, more research should be done in the future to study carefully about them.

After all, Wright came to a conclusion “We should be able to push our sensitivity to alien technology down to much lower levels, and to better distinguish heat resulting from natural astronomical sources from heat produced by advanced technologies. This pilot study is just the beginning.”

Apparently, our understanding of outer space is still limited and scientists will need to explore more in the future.

Flying Saucer Hovering Above British Scientology HQ

Flying Saucer Hovering Above British Scientology HQ


The UK pilots reported that they saw several flying saucers hovering above the Church of Scientology’s UK headquarters.

It was about 9AM in December 30th, 2012, a Boeing 777 pilot told traffic control staffs about the strange plate molded objects he had found in the region of the religious group's HQ in East Grinstead. He and alternate pilots on the flight deck had an opportunity to examine the UFOs before arriving on Gatwick. They portrayed the objects as exceptionally reflective, stationary (or marginally moving) disks that seemed to demonstrate a distinct fascination in the building beneath them.



Not far after 9 a.m., two more pilots reported the same abnormal event. Pilots of a Boeing 767 and an Airbus 319 said the UFOs had rose to around 1,000 feet height and that they looked anything but natural.


As air traffic controllers checked their radar screens to confirm the pilots' claims, four more similar objects showed up in formation around the initial two. The UFOs were visible for a couple of minutes, before totally vanishing. This profoundly uncommon occurrence determined the UK Airprox Board to open an examination went for revealing the trespassers' personality. Unfortunately, their endeavors have stayed fruitless.

Since its beginning, Scientology has held high convictions in the presence of extraterrestrial elements working UFOs. Could this occurrence demonstrate them right?

UFO in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

UFO in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam


On May 22nd, a shining disk-shaped UFO was photographed by a group of students nearby the Bitexco Tower, which is located in the center of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

While walking and taking photos of the tower, this group of 4 students noticed the unusual object in a photo. This photo is believed to be taken around 8.30pm in the evening.



It did not look like a helicopter or an airplane but an UFO with a band of lights going around its circumference.



The size of this disk is hard to calculate but taking into consideration the fact that the tower is 861 feet in height, the UFO must be enormous. While its goals are obscure, it seems to demonstrate an interest towards the highest building in the city.



The students assured that the photo is certifiable and genuine; no altering techniques were used to add the unexplained craft.

Mysterious Hands Spotted In Photos Taken in Borneo, Malaysia

Mysterious Hands Spotted In Photos Taken in Borneo, Malaysia


A couple of dull free hands, like that of "The Thing" from the Addams Family, showed up in two photographs taken at Mount Kinabalu soon after the 5.9 magnitude earthquake which hit Sabah, Malaysia.

Samasuddin Yusop, member of the group of donors who was in the ghostly photos, said that neither of those images were altered.


“Many people asked us about the photographs but even we have difficulty determining if was a makhluk (mysterious creature) or a problem with the cameras”, the former Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) corporate communications head told The Star Online when contacted.


The photos were taken by different devices, including a mobile phone and a Nikon camera. While the one taken by mobile phone showed a pair of extra hands, the photo caught by Nikon camera showed only one extra hand. And in both photos, the positions of the limbs were also not the same.


ThePersatuan Komuniti Bugis Sabah, a group of donors, visited the mountain to donate after the earthquake in Mount Kinabalu.

A Haunted Pub by TWO GHOSTS

A Haunted Pub by TWO GHOSTS


A paranormal expert says a grade II ranked pub is spooky by TWO ghosts after a spooky face seemed flashing between a group of friends on a photo.

Rachel McKeown was looking through photographs captured a night out at The Lisbon bar in Liverpool when she saw a shocking face "photobombing" one of the photos. She had performed in a production of Queertet at the Unity Theater on Friday evening and joined cast members for beverages at the bar a while later.

It was not until the following day that she saw the spooky face in one of her photos.



Tom Slemen, a paranormal expert says the Victoria street pub has two ghosts, one is an unknown woman and the other is the former manager and owner Sir Archibald Tutton Salvidge.



He said “Salvidge’s story is very intriguing – he rose from humble beginnings in Birkenhead and ended up as a Tory firebrand speaker. After leaving Liverpool Institute he landed a job at the local Bent’s brewery and ended up as its managing director, and then he embarked on a political career – building up the Conservative Working Man’s Club – and then becoming an Alderman and later the leader of Liverpool City Council.”

“Around 1907 something very odd happened; Salvidge’s admirers had tried to persuade him to become the Mayor of Liverpool for many years, and whilst enjoying a meal and drink at the Lisbon Restaurant and Public House one evening, Salvidge suddenly rose at the head of the table and announced that he was not only going to run for Mayor – he was also wondering if he should have a shot at becoming the Prime Minister in the 1910 election.”

“A prominent major and several magnates rose from the table and gave a toast – and the fire in the room suddenly flared up, throwing cinders all over the carpet. A month later in the Lisbon, another toast was given to Archibald Salvidge’s political campaigns and all or a sudden, three words written in what looked like blood appeared on the wall near the fireplace: Tell Them Archie.”

Since then, the men withdrew from his political campaign. He died in 1928; his spirit has been reported to be around in the Lisbon, also with a young woman.

Rachel said “I saw the face but didn’t recognise it. At first I was trying to figure out if it was the light but it doesn’t look like a reflection and I don’t think there was anyone behind when it was taken.”

Transforming into a GOAT to Follow A Herd in the Alps

Transforming  into a GOAT to Follow A Herd in the Alps

Thomas Thwaites, a 34-year-old scientist from London, has spent the previous year making prosthetics that permit him to roam around on all fours. He's studied on their behavior, learns in their method for communicating and even endeavored to make a manufactured goat stomach to permit him to eat grass.

His endeavors, subsidized by the government, reached a state of perfection in a three day trip to the Swiss Alps, where he lived as a goat, roaming the hills with a heard.

He said “I suppose it was because it could be fairly difficult, depressive and just stressful being a human being.”

“I initially wanted to be an elephant, but it wasn’t going very well,’ said Thwaites. ‘I visited a shaman, and she said “you’re an idiot”. So, I decided to be a goat.”

The researcher set himself an objective of intersection the Swiss Alps and, and on his route, figured out how to persuade a goat agriculturist to give him a chance to live with his herd.



He likewise persuaded Dr Glyn Heath, a previous zoologist in Salford, to make the unusual prosthetics.

However, living as a goat, Thwaites soon found, was not as simple as he had anticipated.

The prosthetics were painful, the scene was tough and Thwaites was continually battling the cold.



Those difficulties, be that as it may, were nothing compared to the errand of persuading the group he was one of them.

He said “It’s much easier to walk up on my prosthetic front legs. So I ended up quite high on a hill surrounded by goats. That was possibly a goat faux-pas, because it shows dominance by how high in the herd you are. I looked up and all the other goats were looking at me. Everyone else had stopped chewing and it was in that moment, when I thought, “those horns look quite sharp””.

He continued “Luckily, I think I made a goat friend. He made a move, and it kind of diffused the situation.”

A farmer, whose herd was brushing adjacent, saw the occurrence and told Thwaites he thought the goats had at long last acknowledged him.

After his three days living with the herd, Thwaites spent an additional three days as a goat living alone.

He said “It was an interesting experience, I guess, I just think perhaps it would be nicer to live a simpler life.”

Thwaites manages to showcase photographs of his task at London's Studio1.1 Gallery from September 3 to 17.

Vampire Castles in Transylvania

Vampire Castles in Transylvania


Besides the Count Dracula legend, Transylvania is also famous for horror legend about Hunyad castle, a famous vampire castle.


A horror, traumatic story about castle Hunyad - vampire castles in Transylvania handed down to the present day makes people shiver and chill.

Hunyad Castle, also known as Corvin, in Hunedoara is an excellent building dating from 14th 15th century, is a part of the Duchy of Transylvania. It is believed that here was where bloodthirsty Count Vlad III of Wallachia (commonly known as the bloodthirsty Count Dracula) was detained for 7 years in a dungeon after he was deposed in 1462.

Interestingly castle had a tower named Hunyad Nje Bojsia (which means "no fear") by the Serb mercenary soldiers who fought in this castle.

Locals have long circulated anecdotes about castle Hunyad was extremely creepy haunted. One of the horror stories happen at the castle of vampire related to three Turkish prisoners.


Accordingly, one of the owners of this castle - Iancu gave the deal that he would release three Turkish prisoners if they dug up the water circuit of the cliffs.

Because of that promise, three prisoners had dug for 28 years and finally dug up the water circuit. However, it was unfortunate when they dug water upside down, the castle owner Iancu died. Meanwhile, the wife of Iancu was not interested in her husband's old promise with three prisoners. Therefore, the mistress of the castle ordered beheaded three miserable prisoners.

Before death, three prisoners had written on the walls of the castle bitter words about the dishonor actions of family Iancu: "Now you have water to use but no heart" and added their names. Today, visitors can see the inscription in Turkish.

A Bike Built from Plastic Bottles

A Bike Built from Plastic Bottles

The bicycle is an excellent means of transport, especially because of their characteristics linked to sustainability: not pollute, it's practically free and helps to keep fit.

Furthermore, the PET bottles are a big problem for modern societies: each bottle takes 10 thousand years to decompose and today, with the amount of packaged products, there are millions of bottles are discarded every day in the world that can not be degrade.
Muzzicycles is a Brazilian company that brought these two issues in a project consisting of 200 recycled PET bottles per bike is manufactured.

The creator was Juan Muzzi, a Uruguayan artist who took the initiative to make plastic bottles in a bicycle frame, creating a means of transport based on simplicity, "ecologically correct" and accessible because, as told in his Web, "this bike can reach an audience of 70 million people who need a cheap transportation model"


Plastic bottles began to be used in Brazil since 1993. At first, it was a groundbreaking invention as glass bottles occupied much space in factories and required a lot of water and chemicals for sanitation and high transport costs and it was very heavy containers.

The PET containers are well convrtieron in everyday objects and in a few years became a highly polluting material by the large volume of waste generated and how much it takes to decompose. This waste is housed in rivers and oceans, and the components that have the plastic affects the health of animals and humans.


It is clear that the harmful effects of plastic are many, is why we have designed different ways to recycle and reuse packaging to create other things. Along with Brazilian NGOs in charge of recycling, Muzzicycles believe their own solution: Bicycle hacercuadros. Thus began a project designed from two angles: first recycle PET containers and on the other, creating a sustainable, cleaner, quieter transport and, above all, economically accessible to the whole society.

Thus, to use recycled PET, the welding of other materials is removed, which is a cheaper way of manufacturing bicycles. The process involves slicing bottles, crushed and subjected to a hardening process. Then, the paste is injected into a heated steel mold. Once this process is allowed to cool and the finished picture emerges.


The great benefits of this product can be listed as follows:

• PDL (Process Clean Desenvolvimento)
• Reuse of PET bottles
• Ecologically correct
• It's cheaper
• Does not rust
• Eliminates welding
• Does not require buffer
• Injected color
• Eliminates Paint
• An organic and comfortable design
• Made of recycled blends of thermoplastic resins
• Have a smooth ride
• self-sustaining project
• Extract less iron ore and bauxite
• Processes least alumina
• Benefit CO²
• Reduces Greenhouse


The Brazilian company speaks of this initiative as the "fulfillment of a utopia" and recognize that such attitudes as that Juan Muzzi are "the possibility of a new type of holistic art able to gather literature, philosophy, science , sociology, technology, and the creation of new elements made of pure abstractions such as solidarity, peace, non-violence and love "

Sail between the Virgin Islands

Paradisiacal keys, secluded bays and real aquariums to sea. Noise and pollution of engines, a way to travel with the wind and access to the most exclusive spots in the Caribbean.
Tórtola, la isla más grande del archipiélago.
Tortola, the largest island of the archipelago.
Cast off, hoist the sails and sail wherever the wind takes us. That was the general purpose of this trip: to ground routines city and surrender to the sea, breathe, swim, enjoy the sun, silence and Caribbean beach postcards promising us the BVI . They say that sailing is the best way to be late anywhere, and without doubt, this definition applies for a shipped in this archipelago of sixty islands, cays and islets, located to the right of Puerto Rico vacation. The first step then was to get a boat.

With green mountains rising up to 530 meters and hugging bays full of yachts and sailboats, Tortola is the largest and most populated island of the archipelago. Here they operate several companies that rent boats of all sizes, with or without crew, snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, kayaking, and even cook on board! In The Moorings , international boat rental company, we fell in love at first sight with "Citation" a French sailboat design that would become our home for a week. While we did not have a preset schedule, we knew what the Top 5 of must.

1. The Baths
