What are the misguided unsolved mysteries?

The unsolved mystery of the world is a natural, astronomical and historical phenomenon that people can't explain by existing scientific and technological means or by normal thinking logic and reasoning methods.

Since 1990s, all kinds of unsolved mysteries have been very popular in China. In the face of money, many unsolved mysteries have also become unsolved mysteries, misleading everyone. Here are a few mysteries for everyone.

1. Bermuda Triangle

Rumor: Bermuda Triangle, also known as Devil's Triangle. Located in the southeast of Florida Peninsula in North America, it is the East Atlantic triangle formed by the connection of Bermuda, Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is said that Bermuda is as horrible as underwater hell. Anyone who has been to this place, whether human or any creature, has been swallowed up by this "devil" and disappeared without a trace.

Data show that since 1880, the number of people killed here has reached thousands, hundreds of missing planes and more than 200 ships. There are even people who have seen ghost ships, and there is a phenomenon of magnetic imbalance. Some people think that the connection here is through the time tunnel.

Truth: Bermuda Triangle is the most dangerous sea area in the world. It's not even in the top ten, but it's the most famous. Most traffic accidents are real, but a few are fabricated, and some accidents are exaggerated and mystified; There are often hurricanes or thunderstorms in the waters near Bermuda, which pose a great threat to maritime traffic. Before the birth of GPS, computers were not widely used, airplanes still used propellers, and weather forecasts were mostly based on speculation. From the beginning of 2009 to the first half of the 20th century, it was not inconceivable that there were plane and ship crashes in the Bermuda Triangle. Bermuda has also become a famous tourist destination.

Attachment: WWF has made statistics on the ranking of places with high incidence of shipping accidents in the world. The most accident-prone areas are the Sea of Japan, the Mediterranean Sea, the Persian Gulf and other places, while Bermuda is not even in the top ten.

2. Crystal skull

Rumor: It is said that Maya civilization once recorded that there are 13 crystal skulls in the world, which are the same size as human skulls. Chin can move freely, talk and sing. It also records the existence and beginning of human beings, and even helps them solve the mystery of cosmic life and predict the secrets of human past and future. As long as the crystal bones are gathered together, they will produce all kinds of supernatural abilities.

1927, Haggis, a British explorer and member of the Mayan Cultural Committee of the British Museum, discovered a crystal skull in the ruins of an abandoned Mayan ancient city in Central America and made it public.

Truth: Until 2008, a research team composed of British and American scientists used the latest modern technology to examine the crystal skulls in the museum, and found that the crystal skulls were built with grinding wheels in the17-18th century.

Some conspiracy theorists believe that scientists know the real secret of the crystal skull, but for some reason, they need to hide the truth from the public, so they fabricated the statement that the crystal skull is a fake. what do you think? )

The front and back of the moon are the same.

Legend: The front and back of the moon are the same.

Reality: On Earth, we can only see one side of the moon. The moon's rotation is basically the same as that of period of revolution, and it has been tidal locking by the earth, belonging to the tidal gate type, with only one side always facing the earth.

4. Loch Ness monster

Legend: Loch Ness, located in the northernmost part of the British Isles and in the Grand Canyon of the Scottish Plateau, is the third largest freshwater lake in Britain. Legend has it that there is a water monster similar to plesiosaur in the lake, with a longer neck than giraffe and a bigger body than elephant. It will upset ships, attack humans and eat livestock by the river. Some rich people even offered a reward of 20,000 pounds for catching the Loch Ness monster, while others took photos of the Loch Ness monster, which became the strongest evidence to prove the existence of the Loch Ness monster.

Truth: 1933, bertram Mills, the circus owner who was touring the Loch Ness area in England, happened to know this legend and made a public announcement for commercial purposes, offering a reward of 20,000 pounds for catching the Loch Ness monster, which made him famous. 1994, the 90-year-old man admitted that the water monster in the photo was forged by himself and his stepfather; According to the photos provided by the old man, the newspaper specially cut out the blanks around the photos, and the change of contrast caused the "neck" to change from 30 cm long to 3 meters long.

Nuclear reactors 5.2 1 year ago

Legend: 1972, France imported some uranium ore from Gabon, Africa, and French engineers found that the average concentration of uranium 235 was much lower than the normal concentration of uranium 235.

After a long period of exploration, experts have come to the conclusion that there is a very old atomic reactor in Oklo, a nuclear reactor. This atomic reactor consists of about 500 tons of uranium ore in six regions, and its output power is about 1000 kW. The ore-forming age of this mine is about 2 billion years ago. The atomic reactor began to operate soon after mineralization, and the operation time was as long as 500 thousand years.

Reality: After research, it is found that these so-called nuclear reactors have no artificial signs at all, and there are no shaped reactors. These uranium ores are irregularly scattered in some places, and nuclear fission reactions have taken place under a series of coincidental natural conditions. In particular, the action of water and oxygen permeates into underground ore, which makes uranium react and release heat. When water is evaporated, it will stop again and again for a long time. Finally, boron and lithium rich in the vein absorb neutrons, which stops the nuclear reaction.
