Which of the current unsolved mysteries are misleading?
The unsolved mysteries of the world are natural, astronomical, historical and other phenomena that cannot be explained by people using existing scientific and technological means or according to normal thinking logic and reasoning methods.
Since the 1990s, various unsolved mysteries have become very popular in China; when it comes to money, many unsolved mysteries have become unsolved and misled everyone. Here are some unsolved mysteries for you.
1. Bermuda Triangle
Rumor: The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle. Located in the southeast of the Florida Peninsula in North America, it is an East Atlantic triangle formed by three points connecting Bermuda, Miami in the United States, and San Juan in Puerto Rico. It is said that Bermuda is comparable to the hell under the sea, so terrifying that all humans and creatures who have been to this place are devoured by this "devil" and disappear without a trace, leaving no one alive.
Data show that since 1880, thousands of people have died here, hundreds of planes have disappeared, and more than 200 ships have disappeared. Some people have even seen ghost ships and magnetic imbalances. Some people believe that the connection here is through a space-time tunnel.
The real situation: The Bermuda Triangle is not even ranked among the top ten most dangerous sea areas in the world, but it is the most famous. Most of the traffic accidents are real, but a small number are fabricated, and some accidents are exaggerated and mystified; hurricanes or thunderstorms often occur in the waters near Bermuda, which is a great threat to maritime traffic. From the early 19th century to the first half of the 20th century, when GPS had not yet been born, computers were not widely used, airplanes still used propellers, and weather forecasts were mostly based on guesswork, it was not at all inconceivable that planes and ships crashed in the waters of the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda area has also become a famous tourist destination.
Attachment: The World Wildlife Fund has compiled a ranking of places with high incidence of shipping accidents in the world. The areas most prone to accidents are the Sea of Japan, the Mediterranean Sea, the Persian Gulf and other places, and Bermuda is not even ranked in the top ten.
2. Crystal skulls
Rumors: Legend has it that the Mayan civilization once recorded that there are 13 crystal skulls in the world, which are the same size as human skulls, and the jaws can move freely. It can speak, sing, and record the survival and beginning of mankind. It can even help mankind solve the mystery of life in the universe, predict the secrets of mankind's past and future, etc. As long as 13 crystal bones are gathered together, various kinds of things will happen. Supernatural abilities unlock the secrets.
In 1927, Hedges, a British explorer and member of the Mayan Culture Committee of the British Museum, discovered a crystal skull in an abandoned ancient Mayan city ruins in Central America and made a big deal about it.
The real situation: Until 2008, a research team composed of British and American scientists used the latest modern technology to test the crystal skulls collected in the museum. The development of crystal skulls was Made from 17th-18th century grinding wheels.
Some conspiracy theorists believe that scientists know the true secret of the Crystal Skull, but for some reason need to hide the truth from the public, so they make up the theory that the Crystal Skull is a fake. (What do you think?)
3. The front and back sides of the moon are the same
Legend: The front and back sides of the moon are the same.
Real situation: From the earth, we can only see one side of the moon. The moon's rotation and revolution periods are basically the same, and it has been tidally locked by the earth, so it is a tide gate type, with only one side always facing the earth.
4. Loch Ness Monster
Legend: Loch Ness is the third largest freshwater lake in the UK. It is located in the Grand Canyon of the Scottish Plateau in the northernmost part of the British Isles. Legend has it that there is a plesiosaur-like water monster in the lake, with a neck longer than a giraffe and a body larger than an elephant. It will knock over boats, attack humans, and eat livestock by the river. A rich man even offered a reward of 20,000 pounds to capture the Loch Ness monster, and someone took a photo of the monster - and it became the most powerful evidence to prove the existence of the Loch Ness monster.
True situation: In 1933, Bertram Mills, the owner of the circus who was touring the Loch Ness area in England, happened to learn of the legend. For commercial purposes, he issued an announcement offering a reward of 20,000 pounds for the capture of Ness. The lake monster made himself famous. In 1994, the 90-year-old man admitted that he and his stepfather had faked the water monster in the photo. According to the photo provided by the old man, it was found that the newspaper deliberately cropped the surrounding blank space of the photo. The change of the reference object caused the "neck" to change from 30 cm to 30 cm. The length became 3 meters long.
5. Nuclear reactor twenty-one years ago
Legend: In 1972, France imported some uranium ore from Gabon, Africa, and French engineers discovered that the average concentration of uranium 235 The concentration was actually much lower than the normal concentration of uranium-235.
After a long period of joint exploration, experts concluded that there is a very old atomic reactor or nuclear reactor in Oklo. This atomic reactor consists of about 500 tons of uranium ore in 6 areas. Its output power is about 1,000 kilowatts. The ore was mined about 2 billion years ago. The atomic reactor started operating soon after the ore was formed and has a long operation time. As long as 500,000 years.
Real situation: After research, it was found that these so-called nuclear reactors had no signs of man-made activity and no formed reactors. These uranium ores were scattered irregularly in some places and occurred under a series of coincidental natural conditions. Nuclear fission reaction. In particular, the action of water and oxygen penetrated into the underground ore, causing the uranium to react and release heat. After the water evaporated, it stopped again. This repeated for a long time. Finally, the boron and lithium rich in the ore veins absorbed the uranium. to stop the nuclear reaction.
