Impossible places that actually exist!

Science has been unable to solve the so-called ‘Taos Hum’. This is a persistent sound that has troubled people here since the 1990s. No one knows what it is or where it comes from. It might seem scientifically impossible, but there can be no doubt that this is a real phenomenon.

The Hum, which has also been described as a rumble or drone, is a low-frequency sound that isn’t audible to all. Research suggests that just 2% of people in Taos can hear it — and this just adds to the mystery.

Scientists have spent much time in this small north-central New Mexico town, but still, an explanation remains elusive. There are some who believe this to be a paranormal phenomenon. That the Taos Hum once featured in The X-Files — as well as other sci-fi TV shows — has nothing to deter the conspiracy theorists. Still, though, scientists continue to ponder this persistent problem and it’s a conundrum that is proving impossible to solve.

 

Countless theories abound, but Namibia’s famed Fairy Circles continue to confound. Located in the arid Namib Desert, these distinctive bare patches have long puzzled the scientific community. Various explanations have been put forward, but none has yet been proved possible.

The indigenous people here believe the circles are caused by the poisonous breath of a subterranean dragon. It seems as likely an explanation as the others put forward. The barren circles measure between two and 15 meters in diameter. There’s no missing them. But understanding them is another matter. Some think rampant termites are responsible.

But others point to the region’s inhospitable nature and argue that the efficient plant life has organised itself in order to best access the desert’s scarce water reserves. Regardless of the reason, the precision of the perfect circles makes them impossible to comprehend. Could it be the dragon — or maybe the other myths that are commonplace here? As things stand, science has failed to find a better answer.

 

Well, I get some things right. x

Peru’s puzzling Nazca Lines have long baffled scientists seeking a plausible explanation. Etched into the hot desert sands, these ancient geoglyphs are enormous. Some dating back to 500BC, their sheer size alone makes them all but impossible to understand. But these head-scratching symbols are real — as all those fortunate enough to have seen them in person can attest.

Comprising more than 10,000 individual lines, there are over 300 figures to find in an area that spans 1,000 square kilometers in this remote corner of South America. It’s hard to believe, but new geoglyphs are being discovered all the time.

Indeed, in 2019, a further 100 figures were found, adding to a tally that was already impressive. Some depict animals and others plants, but all continue to confound those determined to fathom their purpose. Best seen from the air or the neighbouring hilltops, it’s hard to believe that these Peruvian treasures are even possible. But make no mistake about it: the puzzling Nazca Lines are all too real.

 

It should not be possible for life to exist in Romania’s so-called ‘Poison Cave’. But deep beneath a featureless plain in Constanta, not far from the Black Sea and Bulgarian border, creatures that have never seen sunlight lurk in an environment that could not be more alien.

Discovered in 1986, Movile is believed to date back more than five million years. The eco-system within is unique. This is a place that verges on the impossible. The air is different down here — containing one-third to a half less oxygen than that which we breathe on the surface. The internal atmosphere is rich in hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide.

Separated from the outside world, life here is based upon chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis. Life shouldn’t exist here, but no less than 48 different species live in mysterious Movile — including leeches, spiders, and a weird and wonderful water scorpion. Hard to believe, perhaps, but this place actually exists.

 

OOH yes, please.

 

these are the kinds of differences to expect from life supporting worlds in other solar systems, which is why shaking hands with someone from there, without one or the other wearing some sort of 'space' suit, is somewhat unlikely. life owes nothing to what we think we know of it. however calling anything anti-science is just an ego wanting to gosh wow.

it isn't science that calls anything impossible, rather it observes that some things are so rare and seldom they might as well be.
this is not the same thing at all. the unknown does not prevent anything form being possible, it is simply, as yet, unknown,
just as everything that is known once was, before there was anyone we knew who knew it.

 

Sargasso is a sea within a sea, a body of water with no land boundaries, surrounded on all sides by four ocean currents. The North Atlantic waters in which it sits are cold and rough, but the Sargasso Sea is strangely calm and warm.

Some 2000 miles long and 700 miles wide, the Sargasso Sea is sizeable. But it’s not its scale that sets this place apart. The Gulf Stream, North Atlantic Current, Canary Current, and North Atlantic Equatorial Current swirl around its fringes.

But within its watery boundaries, all is tranquil, the warm blue waters offering a sanctuary to countless creatures. The conditions here encourage the sargassum to grow — a type of seaweed that gives the sea its name. This attracts nesting sea turtles and ensures a unique environment that appeals to the inquisitive.

 

The Taos hum was followed by the Kokomo Hum in 1999 and remains a mystery even today

 

My photos keep vanishing, that is a mystery to me.

 

If you wish to learn more about the hidden mysteries of The Sargasso Sea then I highly recommend the book 'The Sea Around Us' by Rachel Carson
