    Why is this link in there? Doesn't seem very creepy.

    Or this one on decompression sickness.

    Yeah it seems a few of them are really just "Kind of interesting", rather than unexplained, some good articles though.

    Its been mentioned alright, I was talking to an ozzie recently about it and its amazing how much it changed life in australia. The prime minister disappearing was pretty fascinating too, all sorts of conspiracy theories around that one

    The mystery of existence if you're thinking big, how does a bumble bee (not that you'd see one these days) fly, how does the moon effect the seas, the turin shrowd and how did pat kenny pass for an entertainer.

    No it's not.
    Silicon
    Gallium (melts in your hand)
    Antimony
    Bismuth (more on this)
    Acetic Acid (liquid at room temperature, unless it's a cold room , super concentrated vinegar)

    some would not, but google polywater or pkyecrete

    they don't do work because they aren't moving

    bismuth is as dense as lead +/-
    it is repealled by magnets, a thin slice of it will float over permanent magnets

    I could explain it to you but your head would explode :pac:

    Some interesting facts but the fact about dark energy is that nobody knows what that is, nor do they know what dark matter is! Thems some pretty big mysteries right there.

    Great read. They say modern telescopes can only see 5% of space so there is a vast amount we dont now about yet.

    I heard about that before, also the meso Americans also seem to have extraordinary knowledge of the stars and the Earth's movement even it wobble. I think they had lenses of some description, but the Spanish probably just smashed them to get the gold and turn it into ingots. Who knows, the earlier plunderers weren't that much into documentation.

    We actually don't know how big space is and there are parts of space that we can never see as they are too far away from us for light to reach us and space is expanding all the time. It is possible that the universe is infinitely big also.

    What did Armstrong & Aldrin really see on the moon?

    There is talk of a transcript where they describe alien life forms watching them.

    I remember reading in Armstrongs book ,think it was his autobiography were he And Aldrin spotted an object with what looked like a blinking lights moving acoss space .Some NASA people said it might just have been some floating debri from previous space mission but Armstrong , who was not one for exaggeration, wasn't fully convinced .

    The Laetoli Footprints

    http://www.decarteret.net/Tanz%20and%20Zanz/Tanzania%20and%20Zanzibar%20Nettest_files/image013.jpg

    Footprints preserved in volcanic ash in Tanzania dated from 3.6 million years. The mechanics of the footprints show that this ape/hominid was very bipedal, as balanced as us. No-one is sure what creature made them. Some suggest its proof that the dating of the ascent of man is all wrong.

    Mystery 2

    What happened to humanity after the Toba super volcano eruption 55,000 years ago. Genetic studies puts the remaining human population back then at around 3000, then from them. all us came.

    But for the first time in the fossil record art appears, Man's toolkit becomes more intricate and specialised and gets more additions, things like needles, harpoons, intricate arrow and spear heads. Then where ever they went, big mammal and reptile extinctions followed. They were us. Its as if we suddenly sprouted a frontal lobe.
