Impossible places that actually exist!

10 Scientifically Impossible Places That Actually Exist



Poland’s Crooked Forest has long beckoned visitors with a penchant for the unusual. Science suggests that the J-shaped trees that are growing within are an impossibility. Yet they’re here for all to see — even if a reason for their misshapen nature cannot be explained.

There are countless theories about the Crooked Forest, but so far none has been proven or disproven.
Known to local people as Krzywy Las, the forest can be found in Poland’s western fringes, not far from the border with Germany. Some believe that invading tanks flattened young saplings during World War II, causing the recovering trees to take such a strange shape.

But others have blamed aliens, gravitational fluctuations, and the thick snowfall for which the region is renowned — all without evidence or a convincing argument. It’s possible that the truth is more mundane. Some claim the trees were manipulated by human hands to create tailor-made shapes for construction purposes.

The active Kawah Ijen Volcano in Banywang Regency, Java is one of the world’s most extraordinary volcanoes. Instead of producing the usual red lava and black smoke, its underground activities result in electric blue lava and flames rising into the air.

Kawah Ijen’s fabled blue lava has long drawn the curious to Java. Here, on this stunning Indonesian island, the volcano’s spectacular eruptions are a sight to behold. The phenomenon has long fascinated scientists. But although the colours cannot be questioned, the underlying cause is not as most believe. The lava here is not originally blue but becomes it due to a natural phenomenon. Indeed, the volcano has some of the highest levels of sulfur in the world and when the volcano’s sulfuric gases come into contact with air temperature above 360’C, the lava turns blue.

Another interesting fact about this place is that it’s home to one of the world’s most dangerous sulfur mining operations in the world. The working conditions are precarious, and the workers being exposed to the toxic sulfur gases for long periods of time develop long-term health issues. Interested in visiting? Don’t adventure here on your own. A really cool thing to do is a night guided group tour to the volcano to see the phenomenon of the blue flame

The Hessdalen Lights are beautiful — but baffling. Scientists have long pondered their cause. But despite numerous investigations and research galore, the reason for this Norwegian phenomenon remains unknown.

The Lights were first reported in the 1930s and have captivated visitors ever since. Sometimes the show lasts for just a few short seconds. But on occasions, the bright yellow, white, red, green, and blue lights can shine for well over an hour.

Located in rural Norway, the Lights illuminate a 7.5 mile stretch of the Hessdalen Valley. They can appear during the daytime or at night and appear to drift and float. But no one knows why, with scientists struggling to find an answer or offer an explanation. The Hessdalen Lights are more prevalent during some periods than others — with sightings spiking in the 1980s, but proving less common in recent times. This just adds to the mystery in a place that continues to confound.

 

Planning a trip to Russia? This is a spot to avoid at all costs. Lake Karachay’s scenic shoreline is considered the most polluted place on the planet. In the 1990s, tests revealed that just standing close to the lake for a single hour would, in all likelihood, result in death.

The big problem here is radiation. For decades, the Soviets worked on a top-secret atomic bomb project in this remote region. The radioactive waste? It was all dumped into Lake Karachay. Convenient, perhaps. But this came at quite a cost.

The landscape here might be beautiful, but it’s also deadly. Science might suggest that such levels of radiation are impossible, but the slapdash Soviets have proved otherwise. The lake has since been filled in, but risks remain, with the soil here presenting grave dangers to human health. The Russian government has restricted access, meaning it’s impossible to visit — not that you’d want to.

 

Science suggests that the Bermuda Triangle is a little more than a myth. Rational researchers are adamant that this is the stuff of folklore, but doubts persist and anything seems possible. The Bermuda Triangle covers a huge area in the North Atlantic Ocean, spanning more than 500,000 square miles.

It’s also known as the Devil’s Triangle or Hurricane Alley, as countless ships and planes are said to have disappeared without a trace whilst in this area. But does this mean that the legend is true? Science suggests that the legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery, perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism. One explanation pins the blame on leftover technology from the mythical lost continent of Atlantis when another says that unusual local magnetic anomalies may exist in the area, confusing compasses and leading ships to get lost. There is also the myth that violent storms occur in the triangles, sinking ships.

The Triangle is one of the busiest shipping lanes on Earth and experts think it’s not unusual that vessels are lost here from time to time. But still, those entering the Bermuda Triangle often do so with a deep sense of unease, the triangle legend enduring and not entirely proved wrong.

 

The end of the rainbow

 

A more recent theory about the Bermuda Triangle is that since its on the edge of tectonic plate, the plate boundary is allowing methane to escape, which has the ability to reduce the bouyancy of ships passing through the area and they therefore sink without trace.

 

The evidence suggests the Bermuda Triangle was an invention of writers, who wrote the first book, in which half the ships listed as sinking in the "Triangle" sank in the pacific. These writers then rented cheap apartments around the Miami area and used local phone service to call everyone in the area and ask them if they had ever heard of the Bermuda Triangle, and a legend was born. That's not to suggest every story is bullshit, but that people are full crap, and it helps to take almost anything with a bit of salt. The original authors went on to publish perhaps seven different books, and whether you want to call them fiction is up to you, but Donald Duck wants to become emperor of the world, and its almost impossible to be too skeptical these days.

Tourists flock to Piedmont to see Italy’s famous DoubleTree. Here — on a much-visited site, between Grana and Casorzo — a cherry tree grows atop a mulberry. Science suggests that such a thing should not be possible. But there can be no disputing the facts. This place — and these trees — do actually exist.

Called the DoubleTree of Casorzo — or Bialbero di Casorzo — this is quite an anomaly. It isn’t unheard of for one tree to grow on top of another. But growth tends to be limited in such instances, with neither tree able to thrive or to reach a significant size.

This is where Bialbero di Casorzo stands out, defying science and proving that anything is possible. It is thought that, long ago, a bird must have dropped a cherry stone onto the mulberry tree when flying overhead. This sounds plausible — but no one could have imagined that it would turn out quite like this.

 

James Randi wrote about it in his book, "Flim Flam!". He was a professional stage magician who spent a good deal of his career exposing con artists like the authors of the Bermuda Triangle books. Of course, by the time he exposed the fraud they'd already made a small fortune, and went on to bigger and better things.

Someone also came up with an explanation for the J shaped trees, but I forget what it is.
