Horatio: O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!

Hamlet:  And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Phenomenal Places













Quote from Einstein

einstein,genius,mystery,sense of wonder - for www.mysteries-of-the-world.com
"The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.

He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.

It was the experience of mystery — even if mixed with fear — that engendered religion."

SPECIAL WEB ARTICLE

If you believe that the Cold War is over, that the KGB is no longer active, that Russian or Soviet Communism is dead, that Siberian incarceration is over, etc., etc., etc. ... think again!

And if you think that the UFO phenomenon is just for the fringe crowd, the kooks, the 'need to get a life' layabouts, and the pseudoscientists, etc., etc., etc. ... think again!

Click here to reach for the 9-part video on The Secret KGB UFO Files, narrated by the one and only Roger Moore, of 007 James Bond and The Saint fame.

The videos are a bit longish than perhaps necessary ... and there are some boring parts, here and there, especially for the 'fast crowd' with byte-sized attention spans ... but nevertheless the 9-part YouTube video is an eye-opener of a documentary produced and aired during the last years of the 20th century (specifically, in 1998).

UFOs are serious stuff to the Russians ... so don't take things too lightly! Especially in this new 21st Century ...

If the Russians think UFOs are real, and if they think they can reverse-engineer UFO-Alien technology to their political, economic, military and security (PEMS) advantage ... well, the 21st Century might just become a Russian century, and we might all just be sipping illegal Volka in underground resistance-movement hideaways (much like the French Resistance folks back during the Second World War)!

Now ... do things begin to take on a new light?


Cryptic Creatures — Cryptids, Loch Ness Monster / Nessie ... "Cryptozoology"

(Articles - Page 03 of 03)


Cryptic Creatures (Cryptids), Cryptozoology, Loch Ness Monster / Nessie - for www.mysteries-of-the-world.comHere are collations of interesting stuff about so-called 'cryptids', or cryptozoological creatures (they are certainly cryptic creatures!) ...


  • Cryptozoology - from the Penn & Teller 'BULLSHIT!' TV presentation show

    (SSPIA - Scottish Society for Paranormal Investigation & Analysis; "cryptozoology" is, of course, 'pseudoscience, fringe science, weird science -- see below')


  • Bigfoot (In Search Of) - from the 'In Search Of' TV series, hosted by Leonard Nimoy of Star Trek fame

    (hosted by Leonard Nimoy as well)

Bible & Jesus Mysteries

(Articles - Page 03 of 03)


   Here's a bit of good news: most of the Bible isn't written in code. Most of it is very literal and very easy to grasp. American humorist Mark Twain stated that while many people were bothered by the parts of the Bible they didn't understand, he was bothered by the parts he did understand – such as the command to love our neighbors as ourselves. Twain grasped something that countless "code breakers" miss: The Bible isn't a puzzle to be solved. It is God's revelation to humanity, most of it crystal clear and straightforward, no more puzzling than a Stop sign. "You shall not steal" is no mystery, nor is "You shall not commit adultery". "Blessed are the merciful" is easily grasped, as is "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God". No code breaking is necessary, thank you.

   Having said that, however, the Bible is still verymysterious, for it is brimming over with miracles, with revelations of an awesome and invisible God. There are angels and demons, fire from heaven, dreams sent from God, wondrous escapes, battles in which a small force triumphs over a much larger force, resurrections from the dead, glimpses of heaven, the awesomeness of what the Bible calls God's "glory", the workings of the Holy Spirit, curious beasts like the leviathan and Behemoth, and prophecies of things to come, including visions of the final battle between good and evil. Yes, the Bible is really very mysterious, in all the right ways.

ABOUT This Site

Mysteries - General Discussions

(Articles - Page 03 of 03)

  • The title of this website is a two-parter: 'Mysteries of the World'. So, we have three articles, the first two of which explain what we mean by the word 'Mysteries' (second article explains why we think Mysteries are important), and the third article deals with what we mean by the term 'the World'.


    1. What Mysteries? (Definition, examples, synonyms)


    2. Why Mysteries?
      (Why bother with — another website on — Mysteries?)


    3. The 'World' — What's That?

    In addition to the above theoretical discussions, we have some YouTube Videos for your viewing pleasure:


  • There are several ways to look at the 'Mysteries'. One way is to simply look at each 'Mystery' as is, and don't bother too much with where each 'Mystery' might 'belong'. But it quite usual to adopt some form of taxonomy — or classification or categorization — of anything we are interested in. Here are a couple of articles about the Taxonomies of Mysteries ...


The Mainstream (Science) (?)

(Articles - Page 03 of 03)


  • Gaia Hypothesis
    (Is our planet a super-organism or an emergent?)


  • Fountain of Youth
    (Is it a myth/legend — or is it reality/Science?)


  • Xenoscience
    (??? — Beyond unimaginative 'astrobiology' — and even beyond biology-limited 'xenobiology')


  • Occam's Razor
    (aka Ockham's Razor; aka law of parsimony, law of economy, etc...)


  • Feynman on Science
    (Notes based on Feynman's lectures about Science)


'The Fringe' (Non-Science & Nonsense)

(Articles - Page 03 of 03)


Researchers / Investigators / Explorers / Authors

(Articles - Page 03 of 03)

Four Points to Note

  1. Recently, we added a simple blog so that you know the latest changes. To get the updates automatically, CLICK HERE to subscribe to our RSS (you will get a new window or 'tab'). Thanks and cheers!
  2. Please do not assume or conclude that, just because I present many views (in the form of textual notes and video clips) on this website, it means that I am in agreement with or that I believe in the views offered-proferred ... That would be displaying such a parochial and provincial attitude, towards this website and towards me as well!

    As an ex-military officer, I assure you that I am in the habit of reading, viewing and digesting lots of stuff that I don't necessarily believe in ... We call all the stuff we read, view and digest, 'military intelligence' ... The same applies with 'business intelligence' in the business world, of course.

    Our aim, as usual, is to find out what others (including our friends, enemies, competitors, suppliers, strategic partners, business partners, etc.) believe in ... In order to do that effectively, we have to 'get out of the way', so to speak ... we have to remove our humongous ego! ... else we will never ever really have gotten started in our journey of exploration and discovery of the Mysteries of the World .

  3. Here is a sentiment that I am wholeheartedly in agreement with ...
    As I sit down to redo this book for an American audience, what rises before me is last night's dream: I'm in a broad and beautiful land among many trees. It's night. I look up at a huge old tree that's dark against the starry sky in its detail of twig and branch. There is room enough here for all of us, I realize, here in this big, intricately textured park. But I see that some want to cut down the trees and level it out, so huge throngs of people can gather to gaze up at the sun's glare. I watch dark twigs fingering the remote, untouchable stars. A voice speaks: "Don't turn this into a Copernican Garden."

    Waking up, I remember that I went to sleep wondering how to put this book together. And I take "Copernican Garden" to mean a parking lot vista where masses gather to honor the bright sun of traditional science with its old rules as the center of the universe.

    So I will not cut down the trees and level this book out. It is between you and me [or you and I], a conversation as we stroll along in a moonlit fractal garden past webby connections of thought that merge to patterned insight. Here hidden delights nestle in scaling patterns of self-similar but never quite repeating beauty. Here the tree of life hold stars in its branches. No matter how huge, this garden stays human-sized because we have a place in it, you and I. No need to cut down the connective forest and level things out for that bright Sol [sun] of left-brain logic whose daytime dazzle — so close and glaring — can blind us to the myriad constellations beyond.

    [...]

       — Katya Walter, Tao of Chaos
            Sub-title: Merging East and West
            (1994, 1996)

  4. Here is an observation (adapted) made in the Acknowledgement page of a book ...
    It takes many minds to produce a book [including an e-book, of course]. Although most authors [especially of non-fiction books and articles] would prefer not to admit this fact, fundamentally they are merely 'synthesisers' of accumulated knowledge.

    The process of synthesising may unveil a new reality map, or paradigm, which, in due course, will be used by future pioneers to unveil further paradigms.

    This principle was summed up by Sir Isaac Newton when he remarked: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants".

    [...]

            (2005)

As stated in our Mysteries Blog , the 'Mysteries of the World' Website does NOT aim to sensationalize any particular 'Mystery', although we will examine and explore all possible viewpoints pertaining to each 'Mystery' — including the fringe AND the mainstream.

We will, of course, come to a conclusion (eventually!) about each 'Mystery' ... even if that conclusion may eventually turn out to be 'as yet unresolved' or 'unexplained to our satisfaction'.
