Looking for the unsolved mysteries of this century

The mystery of the sinking of the Titanic

April 12, 1912 was a tragic day - on this day, the British luxury liner Titanic was on its maiden voyage to North America. Unfortunately sunk. This shipwreck resulted in the death of 1,523 people. It was the largest disaster in the history of human navigation and shocked the world. For many years, the real reason for the sinking of the Titanic has been the focus of people's exploration. Titanic

In 1985, the sunken wreckage of the Titanic was discovered in the waters off Newfoundland. Immediately afterwards, explorers used various advanced technologies and even dived into the cold and dark deep sea in an attempt to reveal the reason for the sinking of the Titanic. However, people who dived into the water could only see the appearance of the Titanic, but could not detect the "trauma" caused by the iceberg impact, because the cracks in the ship had been deeply buried by thick mud. This situation was not changed until 1996. In August of that year, an international expedition team composed of diving experts, shipbuilding experts and oceanographers from several countries conducted in-depth field exploration. If you don’t explore it, it will be surprising. A brand new theory breaks the widely accepted plot of the famous movie "Titanic". In this movie, this nearly 275-meter-long luxury liner was hit by an oncoming iceberg and opened a 92-meter-long crack. Water entered the cabin and quickly sank in the waters near Newfoundland. However, the results of this detection showed that the Titanic was not sunk by a large iceberg that hit a large gap in the iceberg. Their sonic detectors found the ship's "wound." The "wound" is not as long as 92 meters, but there are 6 small "wounds", and the total damaged area is only 3.7 meters to 4 meters. In order to enhance the credibility of this statement, the researchers used those data to simulate the process of the disaster on the computer. The conclusion is affirmative: the six cabins that were flooded at that time were not evenly flooded, and some had a large amount of water. Some have a small amount of water inflow, which means that the holes opened may be large or small. In fact, the ship's designer Edward Wilding had already raised this situation at the time, but this very important testimony was ignored intentionally or unintentionally. Because it was difficult for people at the time to accept the fact that such a sophisticated giant ship sank with only 6 small holes!

Everything sounds so reasonable, but like all events whose truth is unknown, the mystery of the Titanic is far from over. In 2004, a sensational statement jumped to the attention of the public around the world, attracting the attention of all those who cared about the Titanic incident and those who did not: the British Robin Gardino and Andrew Newton in an interview with British television , revealed the conspiracy theory about the sinking of the Titanic - the 1,523 passengers and crew members who died in the sinking of the Titanic did not die from natural disasters, but from man-made disasters! They said that six months before the Titanic began its maiden voyage, that is, on September 11, 1911, the Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic, was seriously damaged when it left Southampton for a sea trial. Reluctantly, we sailed back and docked in Belfast Harbour. Unfortunately, the insurance company refused to pay compensation on the grounds that the Olympic was at fault for the collision. Repairs to the Olympic were extremely expensive, and the White Star Line was in serious financial trouble at the time. To make matters worse, if the Titanic fails to sail on time in six months, the White Star Line will face bankruptcy. So the White Star Steamship Company decided to disguise the damaged Olympic as the Titanic, and arranged the shipwreck to defraud a huge insurance money. It turned out that the White Star Steamship Company arranged for the Californian to dock in the iceberg-infested area of ????the Atlantic Ocean, preparing to rescue everyone on the Titanic in time in the event of an accident. The most critical factor that led to the disaster becoming a reality was that the Californian actually misunderstood the location and distress signal of the Titanic and failed to arrive at the sunken site in time for rescue. Gardino, Newton and other conspiracy theorists believe that the American super-rich J.P. Morgan, owner of the White Star Line, was the mastermind behind the insurance fraud conspiracy. Titanic

It is so conclusive and earth-shattering. But many Britons scoffed at the conspiracy theory, including experts from the Titanic Society UK. Steve Rigby, spokesman for the "British Titanic Society", said in an interview with reporters: "I have no doubt that the ship lying on the bottom of the North Atlantic is the Titanic." However, "ship insurance fraud conspiracy" Commentators point to one anomaly after another to substantiate their claims.

First, the Titanic once suddenly changed its course, possibly to rendezvous with the California; second, after encountering an iceberg, someone saw First Officer Murdoch running to the high bridge of the ship, possibly to find the California. Traces; third, later investigation reports showed that there was no binoculars in the crew cabin, which meant that it was difficult for the spotter to detect the iceberg in time; fourth, JP. Morgan originally planned to take the Titanic, but two days before it set sail, he canceled the trip citing physical discomfort. However, two days after the ship sank, someone discovered that he was having a tryst with his French mistress, and 55 people canceled the trip with him. , these people who canceled the trip should be insiders; fifth, there were corners cut during the temporary disguise of the Olympic as the Titanic, and some people found that some lifeboats on the sunken ship were leaking like sieves; sixth, and most disturbing What’s incredible is that among the more than 3,600 items salvaged from the Titanic’s remains, not a single thing was engraved with the Titanic logo; seventh, the Californian that appeared in the Atlantic Ocean at that time except for the staff and 3,000 people The fact that there is not a single passenger besides a woolen sweater and blanket is puzzling

The mystery of the Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster is the most mysterious and fascinating one on earth. One of the mysteries of man. Loch Ness Monster

Loch Ness is located in the Grand Canyon in the northern part of the Scottish Plateau, England. The lake is 39 kilometers long and 2.4 kilometers wide. The area is not large, but deep. The average depth is 200 meters, and the deepest is 293 meters. The lake never freezes all year round, with steep banks and dense woods. There is a river at the northern end of the Hubei that connects with the North Sea. The earliest record of a water monster can be traced back to 565 AD. The Irish missionary St. Columb and his servant were swimming in the lake. The water monster suddenly attacked the servant. Thanks to the priest's timely rescue, the servant swam back to the shore and saved his life. Since then, in more than ten centuries, there have been more than 10,000 reports about the appearance of water monsters. But at that time, people did not miss it and thought it was just an ancient legend or nonsense. Until April 1934, London doctor Wilson was passing through Loch Ness and happened to find a water monster swimming in the lake. Wilson quickly took a photo of the water monster with his camera. Although the photo was not very clear, it still clearly showed the characteristics of the water monster: a long neck and a small head, which did not look like any kind of aquatic animal at all. , and very similar to the giant reptile plesiosaur that became extinct more than 70 million years ago. Plesiosaur is a giant aquatic reptile that lived from more than 100 million to more than 70 million years ago. It is also a distant relative of dinosaurs. It has a slender neck, oval body and long tail, with sharp teeth in its mouth. It feeds on fish and is the overlord of the Mesozoic sea. If the Loch Ness Monster is really a plesiosaur, it is undoubtedly an extremely precious surviving prehistoric animal, and this discovery will also occupy an important position in zoology. Loch Ness Monster

As a result, this photo quickly caused a worldwide sensation after it was published. With the "dinosaur craze" of the 20th century, people began to connect the water monster and the plesiosaur that might still be alive. Get up and pay a lot of attention to this. On April 23, 1960, British aerospace engineer Dingsted took a film of more than fifty feet in Loch Ness. Although the film was rough, a giant black creature with a long neck could clearly be seen swimming across Loch Ness during the screening. lake. Some scientists who originally had a negative attitude towards this changed their views after watching the film. The Royal Air Force's Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Center analyzed Dinstead's film and concluded that "the thing was probably a living thing."

The mystery of Kennedy's death

Since President Lincoln was killed in 1865 Since the assassination, US presidents have been constantly being plotted against, and their aura of power has almost become a target in the eyes of some "madmen". However, the background of the Kennedy shooting is particularly confusing. What is puzzling to the American public is that the murderer Lee Harvey Oswald was shot "silenced" under the eyes of federal agents and in front of photographers, while the man who shot and killed Jack Lu Bi died mysteriously not long after. Kennedy

Revolving around this case, American public opinion has put forward various hypotheses. Some people believe that this is a coup plot co-planned by the CIA and "hawks" in the military; others believe that the assassination was the work of the "mafia." What's more, some people have confused JFK's death with Marilyn Monroe's suicide. In order to find out the truth of the case, the U.S. government set up a special investigation committee to investigate the whole story.

However, after several years of investigation, the investigative committee finally concluded that the shooting of Kennedy was Oswald's personal act without any deeper political background. Once the conclusion was announced, public opinion was in an uproar. Some private organizations have vowed to get to the bottom of the case, but to this day this case is still a matter of public opinion. As time goes by, many of the parties involved have passed away, and the remaining ones are approaching their twilight years. It seems that they will take the answer to their graves.

The Mystery of Qin Shi Huang’s Terracotta Warriors

On March 1, 1994, the world-famous “Eighth Wonder of the World” - Qin Shi Huang’s Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. 2, officially began to be excavated. This is one of the great archaeological discoveries of this century. Copper spears, copper crossbows, copper arrowheads, broken swords, etc. have been unearthed in the No. 2 figurine pit. Among them, a batch of bronze swords were also found, with a length of 86 cm and a total of eight edges on the sword body. Archaeologists used vernier calipers to measure and found that the error of these eight edges was less than a hair. This is true for the 19 bronze swords that have been unearthed. These bronze swords have dense internal structure, bright and smooth blades, fine grinding patterns on the blades, and no interlacing textures. They have been sleeping under the loess for more than 2,000 years. When they were unearthed, they were as bright as new and extremely sharp. After testing, scientific researchers found that there was a 10-micron-thick layer of chromium salt compounds on the surface of the sword. This discovery immediately caused a sensation in the world, because this chromium salt oxidation treatment method is an advanced technology that only appeared in modern times. Germany invented and applied for patents in 1937 and the United States in 1950. When cleaning the first passage of Pit No. 1, archaeologists found that a bronze sword was bent by a pottery figurine weighing 150 kilograms. The bend was more than 45 degrees. When people removed the pottery figurine, the sword was bent. A surprising miracle happened: the narrow and thin bronze sword actually rebounded straight and recovered naturally in an instant. The "morphological memory alloy" dreamed of by contemporary metallurgists actually appeared in ancient tombs more than 2,000 years ago.

The Mystery of UFOs

1. The famous Roswell incident in the United States is still a classic case of UFOs! UFO

2. The Defense Intelligence Service is a secret intelligence agency within the U.S. Pentagon. It is responsible for coordinating the intelligence activities of the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force. The Defense Intelligence Agency works not only for the Pentagon, but also for the CIA. In the late 1970s, the U.S. UFO research organization Citizens Against the Cover-up of UFOs submitted a file request to the Defense Intelligence Agency under the Freedom of Information Act. They hope to obtain from the Defense Intelligence Agency the files it has on UFO incidents. Initially, like other U.S. government agencies, the DIA denied any involvement in UFO research. However, in the end, it had to release three eye-catching UFO files. The contents of the three secret files first disclosed by the Defense Intelligence Agency are the blueprints for typical American Steven Spielberg movies. One of the three files involves a report on the discovery of UFOs by the Iranian Air Force on September 19, 1976. 1) At around 12:30 pm on September 19, 1976, the Iranian National Air Force General Command received 4 calls from residents of the Misheran area near the capital Tehran. Several residents said on the phone that they had discovered very strange flying objects in the local sky. Some people say those UFOs are shaped like birds. Some people describe them as helicopters with bright lights. He (referring to the person who drafted the report on the Iranian National Air Force Base) explained to the residents that the so-called strange flying objects might be stars. After a phone call with the Air Force Airport in Mehrabad, he decided to go and see those things in person. 2) At about 1:30 a.m. on the 19th of this month, this F? interceptor was located in the air about 40 nautical miles north of Tehran. Because the light emitted by this UFO is so intense, it can be seen clearly from a distance of 70 nautical miles. When the plane approached the UFO to 20 nautical miles, the alarm system and monitoring equipment on the plane suddenly failed. At this time, the pilot had to return to Sarooq base. When the pilot just turned the plane's head, the functions of the monitoring equipment and signaling system in the aircraft cabin were not only restored at once, but the danger of sudden engine stalling disappeared. At 1:40, the second fighter took off. When the plane was in the air at an altitude of 150 nautical miles and 27 nautical miles north of Tehran, traces of the UFO began to appear on the plane's radar screen.

3) The size of this UFO is approximately the same size as a Boeing 707 (tanker). Because the light emitted by this UFO is so intense, it is difficult to accurately judge its size. This UFO emits a strong beam of light that changes in sequence from blue, green, red, and orange while flying vertically toward the ground. Because the wave frequency of these light beams appears to be very high, they can all be observed at the same time. When the two F? interceptors tracked the UFO into the sky south of Tehran, another shining flying object suddenly flew out of its body. This flying object that just flew out is about half or even one-third the size of the full moon in the sky. Then, this small UFO, which had just separated from its mother body, rushed towards the two F? interceptors at an extremely high speed. One of the pilots tried to launch a Type 9-type air interception rocket at it, but at this time the rocket launch control system in the cabin failed and the intercom had no signal. At this moment, the pilot quickly leaned up and pulled the plane in a high arc, trying to get rid of the UFO. He followed up with another dive. However, the original UFO followed and kept a distance of three to four nautical miles from it for a period of time. Just as the pilot was pitching up and diving in an attempt to escape tracking, the second small UFO that separated from the parent UFO remained within the arc drawn by the aircraft in the sky. After a while, the small UFO flew towards the mother body and merged into one. 4) Not long after the small UFO merged with the parent body, another UFO suddenly flew from the other side of the original parent UFO, and it flew vertically towards the ground. 5) At dawn the next day, a helicopter carried the two interceptor pilots and took them to the location where the small UFO most likely landed last night. There, except for a dry riverbed that was suspected to be the landing site of the UFO, they found nothing else related to it. As the party reached the western edge of the strip, they stumbled upon valuable information. There was a family living there. The family members said that they heard a loud noise outside at midnight last night, and along with the noise, there was a lightning-like bright light outside the house. As a result, people began to test this area and the two aircraft to see if they had nuclear radiation. If any results come out in the future, we (here, the National Defense Intelligence Agency) will report them promptly. The file lists a long list of U.S. government and military agencies at the beginning. It is easy to see that the UFO incident in Iran has attracted great attention from the top leadership of the U.S. government. .

The Mystery of Ghosts

In May 2004, a group of urban adventure enthusiasts sneaked into an abandoned naval dockyard in South Plymouth, England. There was an ancient lampshade and a dirty mattress in the cabin. , a toppled television, and even a few collapsed wooden beams were the fruits of their expedition. Suddenly someone discovered an unexpected discovery: he heard a woman's sobs coming from deep in the cabin...

The mystery of the crash of a Korean passenger plane

A Korean airliner flying from Seoul to Guam A Korean Air Boeing 747 crashed near Guam International Airport in the early morning of August 6, 1997, local time, killing more than 200 people. Unsolved Mysteries of the World

It was raining heavily and the weather was bad. When the plane was flying about 5 kilometers away from Guam International Airport, it suddenly disappeared from the radar screen and lost contact with the ground control tower. According to eyewitnesses, the plane crashed into the dense forest near the airport with a ball of fire and an explosion was heard. After 17 hours of intense work, U.S. rescuers recovered about 70 bodies of victims from the wreckage of the South Korean passenger plane that crashed in Guam and the accident site; Korean Air said that 29 of the 254 people on board survived, including 4 cabin crew. The National Transportation Safety Board sent a special investigation team to the scene to investigate the cause of the accident. Two "black boxes" from the crashed airliner have also been found and sent to Washington for analysis. Relevant officials in South Korea and the United States disagree on the cause of the Korean Air plane crash. South Korea emphasized that the navigation device of Guam Airport was in a malfunctioning state at the time, and the personnel on duty at the airport control tower were not employees of the FAA. In addition, the weather was abnormal at the time, which eventually led to the plane crash.

The United States believes that the failure of the navigation device should not affect the normal landing of the aircraft, and questions why South Korea replaced the Airbus flight that normally flies on this route with a Boeing 747 charter flight that has been flying for 13 years. The Boeing Aircraft Manufacturing Company says its products have an accident rate of only 1.78 per million. On August 10, U.S. federal investigators said that the investigation found that when the South Korean large passenger plane crashed, the computer software of the radar system at Guam International Airport was malfunctioning and failed to issue an alert in time when the plane approached the ground. Under normal circumstances, when an aircraft flies close to the ground, the airport radar system will sound an alarm, and the ground commander will promptly remind the pilot. However, the investigation found that due to a software problem, the radar did not detect the South Korean plane approaching the ground, so the pilots did not receive a warning from the ground control tower before the plane crashed. Officials from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board responsible for investigating the crash believe that problems with the radar system cannot be said to be the cause of the plane crash, but can only be said to be a lack of preventive measures. There are many factors that may contribute to a plane crash. In addition, the navigation system that guided the plane to land at Guam Airport had been out of use for a long time before the plane crash; it was raining heavily when the plane approached Guam Airport. These are all possible factors for investigators to study the plane accident.

The Mystery of Spontaneous Human Combustion

The so-called spontaneous combustion phenomenon refers to a person's body catching fire on its own without contact with external fire. This incredible phenomenon was first seen in medical reports in the 17th century. By the 20th century, more than 200 incidents had occurred in Japan.

Although many police, fire brigade, arson case experts, and pathologists have presented a lot of evidence, there is currently no reasonable physiological argument to prove why the human body spontaneously ignites or even turns to ashes. Conventionally speaking, human organs, tissues and bones can only be burned to ashes in a high-pressure crematorium at 900-1000 degrees Celsius, and burning on their own is indeed incredible. In addition, some people have proposed other factors for spontaneous combustion, such as meteors, lightning, atomic explosions in the body, laser beams, geomagnetic energy, etc. However, there is no explanation under what conditions these can work to form spontaneous combustion. In short, the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion in the human body is still a mystery.
