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.

Re-cap from Prologue Page 01 of 03



In general, we are a website about the Mysteries of the Universe (where 'World' = 'Universe') ... and the term 'Mysteries of the Universe', of course, encompasses the more staid and serious scientific Mysteries about the Cosmos, aka Universe, including such mysterious topics as Supernovas, Black Holes, Red Dwarfs, Pulsars, Neutron Stars, and Galactic Superclusters, Clusters and Groups ....

For the more sensationalised Mysteries, we are thus also a site that examines the Mysteries surrounding the controversial and perennially-interesting Roswell Incident, UFOs, Aliens, Anti-gravity Propulsion Systems and the like ...

We also deal with

  • Strange & Elusive Creatures — which we may also called Cryptic Creatures, or Cryptozoological Creatures (or, simply, "Cryptids") — such as the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland and Bigfoot in the USA (so that on this site, you will eventually find a comprehensive Index of all so-called Cryptids);

  • Puzzling Places — also known as (aka) Phenomenal Places — such as the Bermuda Triangle (aka Devil's Triangle) off the coast of Florida where many or several planes and ships have mysteriously and completely disappeared (there will be an Index of such Puzzling, or Phenomenal, Places);

  • Alluring Artifacts — aka Alluring Artwork or Curious Artifacts & Artwork — such as the Baghdad Battery and Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa (aka the 'Magdalene'??? — maybe!) (there will be an Index of such Alluring, or Curious, Artifacts & Artwork);

  • Monstrous (and/or Mystifying, and/or Mysterious, and/or Marvellous) Monoliths, Megaliths and Monuments such as Stonehenge in England; Ancient Pyramids & Ziggurats in Egypt, Ancient Mesopotamia, and Latin America; and the Sphinx in Egypt (there will be an Index of such Strange Stonework, Mindbending Metalwork & Wonderful-Wondrous Woodwork); and

  • Spellbinding Bible and Jesus Mysteries & Codes (e.g., Da Vinci Code and the 'Magdalene') as well as other Strange Religious Mysteries and Mystery Religions (there simply will be a humongous Index of such Religious Mysteries, due to the human race's predilection for, and pre-occupation with, the Divine, the Spiritual and the Transcendental);

and so on and so forth (other examples of Indexes/Indices will become available) ...

Along the way, we will examine unusual topics such as

  • Eastern Mysteries (e.g., Zen & Its Mysteries; Death Touch; Shaolin Kung Fu),

  • Love/Sex Mysteries (e.g., Mystery of Love; Sex Appeal Mystery), and even

  • Intriguing Individuals (such as Quetzalcoatl; King Arthur; Prester John; Robin Hood aka Robin of Loxley; Jack the Ripper; Hitler; even Yahushua/Yesua Marshiach aka Iesous Christos aka Jesus the Christ) ...

And, we will also explore to the full the meanings of such terms as

  • 'Bogosity',

  • 'Unexplained Mysteries',

  • 'Unsolved Mysteries', etc ...

This includes an examination of the various terms associated with what I call 'The Fringe' — 

  • 'Fringe Science',

  • 'Pseudo-science',

  • 'Weird Science',

  • 'Bad Science',

  • various pseudo- or alternative fields (e.g., pseudo-history; alternative archaeology; alternative geology; Creationism; Intelligent Design), and

  • 'Conspiracy Theories' (e.g., 911; Lincoln Assassination; JFK Assassination),

  • 'Urban Legends or Urban Myths' (e.g., "crocodile in the sewers"), and the like.

Eventually, this site will grow to such an extent that it really will become an all-inclusive and comprehensive Index of these and other Mysteries of the World ... proceeding from the Home Page, to every webpage and 'web article' ...

As we are still an evolving site (and blog), our current system of arranging the Index of Mysteries (as it were) is a tentative one ... ultimately, we will achieve an Index (or system of pointers) that can bring you, the reader-cum-viewer, to each and every known Mystery, either directly or via various cross-referencings ... The Science of the Librarian will come in handy here, I am sure!

To re-iterate: this site will eventually become an all-inclusive and comprehensive Index of Mysteries ... such an Index cannot be build up in a day, even with an army of eager beavers at work ... so that the Index will be growing, day after day, week after week ... Wish us luck and pray for us for God's blessing on this project.


2.0   What's New

Check out the following ...

What's New!

"The Mystery of the US Economy?"

"The Mystery of the US Economy?"

Yes! Yes! Yes!

What's happening today is so much of a mystery to many, that they have little control over their own lives and are buffetted seemingly by economic and financial forces beyond their control ...

So, I have decided to start a web article on "The Mystery of the US Economy?" ... It's at a preliminary look-see stage ... so stay tuned! Meanwhile, enjoy the following two video clips about the "Credit Crunch" ...



"The Credit Crunch Song"

More than 344,000 people have watched the Credit Crunch song by Alex Yeoman ...

And the 30-year-old - who goes under the name Antan Debt and the Overdrafts - has been propelled back into the limelight through his Credit Crunch Song.

The music video opens with Mr Yeoman dressed in a smart business suit - jump behind the wheel of his customised Porsche.

But after losing his job, car and having his house repossessed, Alex finds himself wandering the street begging for change wearing a torn shabby suit.

To the tune of 60's cult song The Monster Mash, Alex's lyrics are a comedy take on the plight of millions who are trying to make ends meet.

He sings: "I'm trying hard to stay happy in these desperate times, as far as I can tell we're all in gross decline.

"My pockets are all empty and my bank is too, I've lost my job, I don't know what to do."

Other lines include: "My bank has disappeared into a big black hole.

"I've turned the heating off to try and burn less coal."

An Alistair Darling lookalike then appears on screen proudly clutching a carrier bag from budget supermarket LIDL in place of the famous red leather briefcase outside Downing Street.

In less than a month, the video has received three times as many hits as Razorlight's new single Wire to Wire - which entered the charts at number 5 last week.

It has attracted more than 1,000 comments from fans across the globe.

   —  www.telegraph.co.uk/news/
         newstopics/howaboutthat/3280471/
         Credit-crunch-song-is-an-online-hit.html

Here's a song sung to the tune of Elton John's "Goodbye [to] Norma Jean" ... (Norma Jean was the real name of Marilyn Monroe — that US blonde bomb-shell actress who was found dead ... naked ... on her bed, in her room, apparently having committed suicide, if you can believe THAT ... Monroe was rumored to have been one of the many lovers of playboy-President J. F. Kennedy ... so somewhere in there is possibly another interesting 'conspiracy theory', besides the one dealing with JFK's assassination) ...


"Credit Crunch Anthem"

STOP THE PRESSES!!!

Here're a couple of my favorite UFO video clips that I found on YouTube ...

The following is a "Japan Airline [Flight JAL-1628] UFO Encounter" video clip (obviously a recreation!), uploaded by "UFOsChannel" on "March 22, 2008" ...

The following clip entitled "One of the world's biggest UFO: Alaska bound black box secrets files" (uploaded by "TheVanDyke" on "October 16, 2007"), also dealt with the Flight JAL-1628's (as well as other airline/airplane pilots') UFO sighting ...

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'.
