Cloud comes down to interact with man in UAE - Amazing video or amazing fake? How can parts of Canada be" For more than 40 years, scientists have tried to figure out what's causing large parts of Canada, particularly the Hudson Bay region, to be "missing" gravity.

How can parts of Canada be"

In other words, gravity in the Hudson Bay area and surrounding regions is lower than it is in other parts of the world, a phenomenon first identified in the 1960s when the Earth's global gravity fields were being charted. Two theories have been proposed to account for this anomaly. But before we go over them, it's important to first consider what creates gravity. At a basic level, gravity is proportional to mass. So when the mass of an area is somehow made smaller, gravity is made smaller. One theory centers on a process known as convection occurring in the Earth's mantle.

The 5 Most Mind-Blowing Coincidences of All Time

Why were they estranged? Your guess is as good as ours. All we know is that Michael went nuts looking for her. Where it Gets Weird: After fruitlessly combing the deserts of Sudbury for her, Michael turned to the Suffolk Free Press for help. 6 Insane Discoveries That Science Can't Explain. We like to feel superior to the people who lived centuries ago, what with their shitty mud huts and curing colds by drilling a hole in their skulls.

6 Insane Discoveries That Science Can't Explain

But we have to give them credit: They left behind some artifacts that have left the smartest of modern scientists scratching their heads. For instance, you have the following enigmas that we believe were created for no other purpose than to fuck with future generations. Real Paranormal Activity: 5 Most Convincing "Real" Paranormal Cases. Mysteries. Solway Firth Spaceman. Jim Templeton's photograph. The Solway Firth Spaceman (also known as the Solway Spaceman and the Cumberland Spaceman) refers to a figure seen in a photograph taken in 1964 by firefighter, photographer and local historian Jim Templeton (13 February 1920 - 27 November 2011). The famous photo was taken on Burgh Marsh, situated near Burgh by Sands, overlooking the Solway Firth in Cumbria, England. Templeton claims the photograph shows a background figure wearing a space suit and has insisted that he did not see anyone present when the photograph was taken.

Convergent Evolution Or Chance Look-alikes. Convergent evolution or chance look-alikes Why should caddis fly larvae and a species of aquatic snail look alike?

Convergent Evolution Or Chance Look-alikes

Mimicry is rather common in nature for it often confers some sort of advantage to one or both of the species in the turmoil of evolutionary pressures. Or so the theory goes. Most examples of convergent evolution involve closely related species. The Importance Of Nonsense. The Importance Of Nonsense.

Is there a science of anomalies?

Westrum and Truzzi term their paper a "bibliographical introduction" to anomalies. Indeed, the article is laced with references to the great classics on scientific anomalies and worth reading for this aspect alone. But the authors go farther. First, they define three different kinds of scientific anomalies: accepted, validated, and alleged. Bpm Equals Dowsing. Bpm Equals Dowsing It is remarkable that this article appears in a reputable scientific journal.

Bpm Equals Dowsing

Williamson was stimulated to write about dowsing by apparent recent Russian successes with BPM (Bio-Physical Method) in locating minerals. BPM has created quite a stir in the USSR, with all the scientific trappings of conferences and journal papers. Stacked Deck In Esp Experiment. Stacked Deck In Esp Experiment Balanovski and Taylor have assumed that the many purported extrasensory phenomena are very likely effected by electromagnetic forces -- the only known action-at-a-distance force they believe could be involved.

Stacked Deck In Esp Experiment

Therefore, they assembled a wide variety of very sensitive electromagnetic instruments (antennas, EM probes, skin electrodes, magnetometers, etc.) and tried to find electromagnetic fields associated with people claiming paranormal abilities. Inscribed Stone From Tennessee Necropolis. Inscribed Stone From Tennessee Necropolis The pictured stone was found during the early 1890s in an extensive cemetery near Nashville. The stone's back was hollowed out like a cupstone, while its front was inscribed with symbols. Barry Fell considers the symbols Libyan, pre100 A.D. style. He translates them thus: The Pecked Cross Symbol In Ancient America. Sunspots And Flu. A Redshift Undermines The Dogma Of An Expanding Universe. A Redshift Undermines The Dogma Of An Expanding Universe Halton Arp has closely studied the galaxy NGC-1199, which is the brightest member of a small cluster of galaxies. One of its companions is a galaxy so dense that it appears to be a star.

This compact object sports a circular shadow and seems to be silhouetted against the central galaxy NGC-1199. South Of The Bermuda Triangle. South Of The Bermuda Triangle On August 4, 1944, the 85-foot staysail schooner Island Queen departed Grenada bound for St. Vincent, carrying 75 passengers to a wedding. The black-hulled Providence Mark accompanied the Island Queen, and a friendly rivalry kept them neck and neck, often only a half mile apart. Off the western tip of Carriacou, a light, windless rain belt passed overhead. Out-of-the-body Traveller Exerts No Influence. Out-of-the-body traveller exerts no influence Many out-of-the-body travellers describe remote scenes observed during their ad ventures and some are credited with registering their presences on instruments and animals.

Tests with a subject using "human detector" instruments a quarter mile away showed no consistent results while the subject was "out-of the-body. " A kitten in the area gave no sign of a presence. Although the subject described some of the remote targets accurately, the results did not differ from chance. (Morris, Robert L., et al; "Studies of Communication during Out-of-Body Experiences," American Society for Psychical Research, Journal, 72:1, 1978.) Stone Alignments In Subsaharan Africa. Stone Circles In Saudi Arabia. Stone Circles In Saudi Arabia Enigmatic circular stone formations reminiscent of those in Europe are found on remote hilltops and valleys throughout Saudi Arabia. The rings are 5 to 100 meters in diameter and are surrounded by stone walls a foot or two tall.

Some of the rings have "tails" that stretch out for hundreds of meters. From the air, the patterns have a striking resemblance to designs etched in Peru's Nazca plateau. Little is known about the circles and virtually nothing about their purpose. (Anonymous; "Saudis Seek Experts to Solve a Desert Mystery," Kayhan International, p. 7, January 1, 1978.) Immense Circular Terrestrial Structures Of Great Age. Immense Circular Terrestrial Structures Of Great Age J.M. Saul has analyzed many topographic and geological maps and discovered faint circular terrestrial patterns that have mostly not been described before. Scientifically Acceptable Fossil Footprints. Scientifically Acceptable Fossil Footprints Mary Leakey has announced the discovery of fossil footprints made by prehuman ancestors more than 3.5 million years ago at Laetolil, 25 miles southwest of Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. The hominoid had apparently walked across slightly moist sand, and the prints were soon filled with volcanic ash.

The prints were made by feet shorter and wider than those of modern humans; but the big toe definitely points forward and is not splayed as in apes. Another Indian Ocean Light Wheel.

Mongolian Death Worm. The Mongolian Death Worm, known to Mongolias nomadic tribesmen as the allghoi khorkhoi (sometimes given as allerghoi horhai or olgoj chorchoj) or intestine worm for its resemblance to a sort of living cows intestine. It is said to be red in colour, and is sometimes described as having darker spots or blotches, and sometimes said to bear spiked projections at both ends. They are said to be thick bodied and between 2 and 5 feet long. "Alien" stick-like creatures caught on film. Lake Winnipesaukee Mystery Stone. Unexplained Egypt's fantastic and weird history.

Unexplained Mysteries of The Incorruptibles. Incorruptibility is a Roman Catholic belief that supernatural intervention allows some human bodies to avoid the normal process of decomposition after death. Bodies that reportedly undergo little or no decomposition, or delayed decomposition, and are sometimes referred to as incorrupt or incorruptible or as an incorruptible.
