The craziest theories about space. Presentation on the topic "Hypotheses of the origin of man. Cosmic hypothesis" Cosmic theory of the origin of man

No scientific theory irritates people more than the theory of evolution. Walk up to a random passerby on the street and talk to him about string theory - he will simply ignore you. Do the same thing, only with the word evolution, and you will certainly get a right hook.

According to a recent Gallup Research Center poll, only 15% of Americans believe we evolved by chance. For everyone else, there are 10 non-Darwinian theories to choose from.
Intelligent Design


If your grandfather finds an iPad in his room, he will probably guess that this object is made by human hands, although he may not understand why it is needed. Now imagine that your grandfather is scientists, and the iPad is all of humanity. What we get is a simplified model of one of the directions of creationism, called Intelligent Design. And if we assume that we are not just bags of bones and meat, then we must start looking for the heavenly Steve Jobs, who for some reason created us. It sounds religious, but even among scientists there are supporters of the theory according to which some phenomena of the Universe simply could not have arisen as a result of natural processes - someone had to direct them.
Morphogenetic field theory

British biochemist Rupert Sheldrake is a real star of theories of the origin of life. While scientists around the world were arguing about evolution in biology, Sheldrake did the opposite and applied the theory of the origin of species to the entire universe. He defines all the laws of nature with the help of morphic resonance - a kind of general memory through repeated repetition. In fact, the scientist was trying not so much to understand the mystery of the origin of life, but to bring it under his esoteric research - he hoped to prove that in nature there is the possibility of transmitting information both physically and extrasensory. To do this, Sheldrake explored the “wonderful capabilities” of dogs and the telepathic abilities of parrots. Well, in parallel, he “generated” the theory of the morphogenetic field.
Christian Science


This religious doctrine was founded by Mary Baker Eddy, who allegedly was completely cured of a terrible illness after reading in the Bible a description of how Christ healed the sick. Her followers believe: everything that surrounds us is an illusion. Yes, yes, even your computer, from the screen of which you are reading this text. The universe, Mary claims, is by its nature a spiritual, not a material phenomenon, and therefore, with the proper level of immersion in a prayer trance, you can even recover from seemingly fatal diseases.
Cosmic origin

The big bang theory or the creation of the world by God - no matter what you believe, you still think that it all had a beginning, a certain starting point. Proponents of the theory of the cosmic origin of life deny this. They believe that the Universe, like life in it, has always existed. Complex life forms—like you and me—were formed from microbes that came to Earth from another planet. Because those microbes carried the genetic memory of that life, we evolved to imitate it. This cycle of life in the Universe - microbes migrating from planet to planet, which ultimately reproduce the same forms of life - is eternal and inevitable. In a slightly simplified form, this theory is called panspermia - a hypothesis about the origin of all life on Earth from “embryos of life” that are carried by meteorites or artificial space objects.
Ancient astronauts from another planet

This is a synthesis of the theory of cosmic origin and intelligent design. Life on Earth appeared not thanks to microbes riding on a meteorite, but to aliens who arrived in their spaceship. For some mysterious purpose, they brought living organisms to Earth, creating conditions for their development. As evidence, supporters of this theory use the pyramids or the Mayan calendar, which have been preserved as supposed evidence that aliens directed the course of human evolution.
Progressive creationism

We all know from the Bible that God created the Earth and all living things for six days, and on the seventh he rested. And we all know that these “days” actually lasted millions of years, during which stages of evolution passed. The theory of progressive creationism does not deny either one or the other, but states that God “conjured” the Earth for millions of years, allowing living organisms to get used to to each other. This is a way to “bring together” two seemingly contradictory ideas - the Christian concept of the creation of the world and the results of geologists’ research, according to which the Earth was formed over millions of years.
Punctuated equilibrium theory

Of all the theories on this list, this is perhaps the most promising. Largely because it does not challenge the theory of evolution, but slightly complements it, shedding light on the dark places of the classical concept. Scientists have always been surprised by the fact that among the fossilized organisms known to us there are too many “missing” from the evolutionary chain. Either we haven’t found them yet, or, as the theory of punctuated equilibrium explains, evolution occurs in jumps. Certain properties accumulate in the genome and then bam!.. the fish comes to land. And she lived in this form for another million years before her genome accumulated enough properties for a qualitative change.
Theistic evolutionism
Proponents of this theory did not want to argue with either the Bible or Darwin, and therefore called evolution an instrument of God, serving to create all life on Earth. Thanks to this concept, believers can now safely send their children to physics lessons at school, where they will be taught about the Big Bang and the smallest atoms that make up everything in the world. God created all this, Mom will say, smiling, and will not waste time arguing with scientists.
Scientology


It sounds like the plot of a cheap fantasy movie, but tens of thousands of people around the world believe it to be true. According to Scientologists, man is an immortal spiritual being who is locked on Earth in a shell of meat and bones, and before that lived on other planets in extraterrestrial civilizations. Scientologists say that 75 million years ago, aliens flew to Earth and brought with them billions of frozen of people. Here they were piled up, blown up with hydrogen bombs, and the released souls were forced to wander the Earth until they ended up in the current human body. Animal memories partially suppressed the experience that these souls brought with them, so we suffer from envy or, for example, indecision .
Creationism


Proponents of this concept believe that life appeared as it is written in the Book of Genesis. Literally and without any reservations. God created the Earth in six days, each of which had 24 hours, not millions of years, we all descended from Noah, and giants lived on the Earth for some time. Our planet, as you understand, in this case is only six thousand years old, although any geologist can easily prove the opposite, and all sorts of fossils are quirks of God, created to please our eyes. Believe it or not, this theory is by no means a relic of the past . 46% of Americans, for example, consider it the only true one. Moreover, creationists declared a real war on Darwinian teaching and even demanded to stop teaching it in schools. Maybe they will still win, what do you think?

There are a total of 20 presentations in the topic

Until now, much in the history of the formation of the genus “Homo” remains insufficiently clear. Bold hypotheses either throw us to cat-like monkeys, or, rejecting any anthropological and archaeological finds, give us Adam and Eve as the only ancestors.

And hundreds of thousands of generations remain rootless wanderers, denied kinship with us. Meanwhile, even Charles Darwin never claimed that man descended from a monkey, and this was impossible for him, because the great naturalist remained a deeply religious person until the end of his days. In fact, Charles Darwin only said that man and ape had a common ancestor.

The proposed material is not a scientific hypothesis of the origin and formation of the human race on Earth. This is just an assumption based on the loose assumption that our ancestors were “cosmic seedlings,” migrants of the Universe, interested in the development of another branch of intelligent and spiritual life.

"SPACE LANDING" ON EARTH

So, about three million years ago, somewhere near the equator, a space landing force descended, delivering the first messengers to Earth. This place was not chosen by chance - throughout the entire geological history of the Earth, it was the equatorial belt that was distinguished by the stability of electromagnetic conditions, which should have made it easier for the settlers to adapt to their new environment.

Thanks to the work of archaeologists, we know that these settlers were small - about one and a half meters - tall and had a peculiar skull structure. Large eye sockets, as in many nocturnal animals, and jaws adapted for chewing both plant and meat foods, a wide nasal opening, indicating a well-developed peripheral part of the olfactory center - these are the main anthropological features of the skeletal remains of australopithecines - our true ancestors. The peculiar structure of the brain part of their skull consists of occipital scales and a small, sharply sloping forehead.

The first sign may indicate the powerful development of the occipital muscles - extensors of the head, which suggest that our ancestors were mainly engaged in gathering and hunting small animals (beetles, larvae). This circumstance, as well as the presence of purely human limbs, once again confirms the absence of an “arboreal stage” in the history of our ancestors.

The second sign - a sloping small forehead - clearly indicates underdevelopment of the frontal lobes responsible for associative, abstract thinking. At the same time, such a structure of the brain skull is suggested by other anatomical features of the brain that are not characteristic of modern humans. It is known, for example, that in some animal species, when the frontal lobes are underdeveloped, the anterior parts of the cranium are occupied by the well-developed central part of the olfactory tract.

All these signs paint a portrait of our common ancestor - a miniature, light, big-eyed creature, engaged in collecting food and not by climbing bushes and trees. He has excellent vision and sense of smell, which provides Australopithecus with excellent orientation in the habitat and survival of the species: it promptly warns of the presence of an enemy, the presence of food or a sexual partner nearby.

For now, let’s not touch on the questions of where and why this “cosmic seedling” came to Earth. Let us only note that over the next one and a half million years, as a result of partial division, it gave rise to at least two dead-end branches - the giant southern and northern australopithecines. But a relatively small tribe of small (gracial) australopithecines, for a reason unknown to us, remained at the site of the primary settlement, avoiding going into narrow ecological niches. They were the ones who were able to stay on the main path of formation of the genus “Homo”. The details of this formation are a different topic.

Here we will dwell on the “preschool” period of our ancestors, their existence until the moment of “reseeding” to Earth from Paradise.

The ideas of the pre-Jewish tribes of Ancient Asia and the Middle East, including the Babylonian-Sumerian, Aryan, and Canaanite tribes, recorded in the Bible, contain the key to understanding the conditions of the extraterrestrial existence of those who were destined to become our ancestors.

The fact is that from the point of view of our earthly experience, the physical and biological conditions of “paradise” life are very peculiar, if not absurd:

“Innocent souls” live in heaven;

Insensitive (“no tears, no sighs”);

Those who eat limited food (only leaves from the “tree of life” and “manna from heaven);

There is no change of day and night, but “God himself shines” constantly.

Yes, this is more likely not life, but a kind of dreamlike state, similar to “hypobiosis” - slowed down vital activity! What kind of strange fantasies did the authors of ancient myths have, why such detail, devoid of meaning? But it is also aggravated by stories about how, taken from such a Paradise, not understanding anything, Adam and Eve suddenly find themselves capable of both feeling and thinking!

What if you try to fantasize about the non-randomness of the signs indicated in the Bible?

Let’s imagine that hidden under “innocent souls” is a sign of... immaturity. After all, both in biblical times and in ours, no one doubts the innocence of a child’s soul.

Let us further imagine that the “cosmic experimenter” is faced with the task of preparing these “souls” for the very fact of resettlement from Paradise to Earth. It is clear that preparations must be carried out in such a way that a physically healthy future colonist is also protected mentally. No psyche of an adult reasonable person can withstand the realization of the absolute impossibility of returning to the usual extraterrestrial existence.

Let us be brave and imagine how the Creator could reason: The need to grow a creature deprived of memory of its own past requires transferring the functions of all organs, including the cerebral cortex, to the state of the above-mentioned hypobiosis. This is easy to do without any complicated technology. It is enough, for example, to change the composition of the inhaled air, reducing the oxygen content in it, and the influence of the pituitary gland (an appendage of the brain that controls the work of other glands) on the thyroid gland and adrenal glands will almost stop. And without the hormones of these glands, the vital activity of cells is in principle impossible. At the same time, the activity of the cells of the cerebral cortex, on which our conscious activity depends, will also decrease.

(In everyday life, we ourselves sometimes find ourselves in similar conditions, finding ourselves, for example, in a stuffy room. Lack of oxygen in the blood (hypoxia) gives us a feeling of lethargy, fatigue, and inability to perform mental work.)

Of course, a hypobient still needs food (otherwise you won’t grow), but its quantity should be limited, and its composition reduced to the minimum necessary components.

If we consider food proteins (peptides) not just as a set of different amino acids, but as carriers of new information programs, then only plants rich in fat-soluble vitamins A and E can claim to be sources of energy-intensive compounds necessary for the assimilation of these programs. but it was under such a plant, turpentine, that the revelation of God to Moses took place. By the way, the medicinal properties of this tree have been known since ancient times. Wounds, fractures, and suppurations were treated by rubbing the sore spot with the juice of turpentine leaves.

Here we have biblical leaves from the “tree of life”, and “manna from heaven” - an unknown protein that raised Adam and Eve in Paradise.

    The emergence of man from the absolute

    There is a hypothesis that man arose through the compaction of the spirit, that there were five races on earth (we are the fifth race), that the next race appears in the depths of the previous one and gradually replaces it. What is the Absolute? The Absolute is not just Nothing, it is emptiness filled with Something. What is still unknown to science. The atom and anti-atom always arise from the Absolute. They form and, colliding, destroy each other. This is how the Absolute maintains its balance and existence. But once, over many billions of years, a moment comes when the formed atoms and antiatoms diverge in space. This is how physical matter arises from the Absolute. Also from the Absolute arise torsion (twisted) and anti-torsion (twisted differently) fields of ultra-high frequencies, which also mutually destroy and support the Absolute. But a moment may also arise when the mutually destroying torsion fields disperse. This is how the subtle world arises from the Absolute. There is a direct connection between the torsion fields of the subtle world and consciousness, since torsion fields are the material carriers of the soul and spirit. From this it follows that two worlds arose from the Absolute - physical and subtle.

    Slide 4

    Angelic people

    Many millions of years ago, due to the densification of the spirit, angel-like creatures appeared on earth, reaching a height of 60 meters or more. These angel-like people were still so loose that they could pass through walls and other obstacles. However, these people had already formed a loose genetic apparatus, which made it possible to reproduce their own kind through budding and division. I Angel-like people lived even more according to the laws of the subtle world and were directly connected with That Light. It was still difficult for them to change or produce anything in a much denser physical world. Therefore, the improvement of the spirit, directly related to human activity, occurred to a small extent. The period of angelic people can be called the infant period of humanity, when That Light and spirit supported the people who appeared on earth, receiving practically nothing in return. ,

    Slide 5

    Ghost-like people

    In the process of evolution, there was a gradual compaction and reduction in the size of the human physical body, and from angel-like (the first race) people turned into ghost-like (the second race). Ghost-like people had one cyclopean eye that saw in the subtle world, they multiplied by budding and division, could pass through walls, but could already perform some work in the physical world, using for this purpose only the energy of the subtle world (influencing gravity to carry heavy loads) etc.). The beginning of the active activity of ghost-like people in the physical world has already begun to bear the first fruits in relation to the improvement of the spirit in the Next World; Humanity began to move from the infant period into the childhood period*.

    Slide 6

    Lemurians

    The early Lemurians stood about 20 meters tall and were four-armed and two-faced. Two hands in front served two eyes that saw in the physical world (light), and two hands behind served the eye that saw in the subtle world. The early Lemurians could no longer pass through walls, but with the help of four hands they could carry out active actions in the physical world. They could fully use the energy of the subtle world (influence on gravity, psycho-impact on animals, etc.), but they could already quite effectively use the energy of the physical world (muscle strength, fire, water, etc.). The formation of their genetic apparatus had reached such perfection that they were divided into men and women, and childbearing began. It appears that the early Lemurians lived during the time of the dinosaurs. The process of body compaction continued, and therefore the late Lemurians (Lemur-Atlanteans) became smaller (about 10 meters). The third rear eye went into the cavity of the skull, but continued to retain its functions as an organ of tuning to the waves of the Other World. The two back hands that served the real third eye disappeared. Late Lemurians led a semi-aquatic lifestyle; small gills helped them breathe under water. They built huge cities, achieved the highest level of technology (aircraft, space exploration, etc.), created first-class science, and healed their bodies with internal energy. Their lifespan reached 1000-2000 years or more.

    Slide 7

    Change of Lemurian civilization

    The most advanced of the later Lemurians learned to dematerialize and rematerialize. They mastered levitation (overcoming gravity and lifting their own body above the ground) and instantly transporting their body in space. Even dematerialization and materialization of aircraft and other vehicles was achieved. Nevertheless, in the depths of the highest level of Lemurian civilization, the cult of knowledge began to gradually be replaced by the cult of power. Knowledge began to be used to achieve power, for the same reason the great cult of good began to be violated and evil appeared. Weapons began to be produced, the Lemurians divided into groups and began to threaten each other. Realizing the inevitability of a catastrophe, many of the Lemurians went into caves, entered a state of samadhi and organized the Gene Pool of humanity. The most developed of the Lemurians, using the phenomenon of dematerialization and materialization, also went underground along with their apparatus and mechanisms and organized Shambhala and Agarti in order to preserve and develop the technologies of Lemurian civilization in conditions of underground life and protect the Gene Pool of humanity. A cosmic catastrophe did not take long to occur, as a result of which the Lemurian civilization on the surface of the earth perished

    Slide 8

    Atlanta

    But long before the catastrophe, people of smaller stature and different appearance began to be born in Lemurian society. The number of such small people (only 3-5 meters) gradually increased. These were the first representatives of the next race on earth - the Atlanteans. The Atlanteans, like the Lemurians, had a well-developed “third eye” and with the help of it they could tune into the Universal Information Space and receive the knowledge of the Lemurians from there. But the knowledge of Lemurian civilization was in no hurry to reveal itself to the Atlanteans. Therefore, the semi-wild stage in the life of Atlantis lasted a very long time. The Atlantean civilization, being in conditions of “realize yourself,” developed very slowly. People mastered some physical types of energy, built houses, obtained food mainly from the sea, and led a mostly semi-aquatic lifestyle. Shambhala and Agharti, invisibly observing the Atlanteans, began to release Lemurians from the Gene Pool of humanity as prophets. The Atlantean civilization sharply took the path of progress. Telepathy, psycho-influence on gravity, the power of mantras (spells) and other types of energy of the subtle world were mastered. Cities began to be built, bearing weights with their gaze, they began to heal their bodies using internal energy, aeronautics was carried out using the power of mantras. Often, the knowledge of the Universal Information Field fell into the hands of narrow-minded, vain people. This is how the cult of power arose. Endless wars began. The catastrophe broke out 850,000 years ago, a global flood occurred. But the Atlantean civilization did not perish immediately. The Atlanteans of Plato's island were able to assert themselves in the new conditions of the earth and live for a long period from 850,000 to 11,000 years ago. But 11,000 years ago, Typhon's comet destroyed Plato's island. The Atlantean civilization perished.

    Slide 9

    Aryans

    The Aryans appeared in the depths of the Atlantic civilization about 1 million years ago. Among the Atlanteans, people began to be born smaller, without membranes, with large noses and feet. They were more adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle, and therefore even had some advantages over the Atlanteans. The first Aryans were giants in comparison with modern people and reached two to three meters in height, but in comparison with the Atlanteans they were quite small.

Space, the last frontier. A seemingly boundless space, fraught with an infinite number of previously unknown things and dangers that even the most brilliant human mind cannot imagine, let alone understand. Looking at the stars in the night sky, it is difficult not to wonder what lies there, on the other side of our earthly existence?


For better or worse, there are people who begin to “Think Very Loud” about what could be “out there” and at the same time, through colorful but fictitious details, try to give life to their hypotheses. And sometimes these unfounded ideas, like a real virus, spread among society and, what’s more scary, they try to displace real science and replace true knowledge with crazy theories, which in turn can pose a very great danger.

Not all of these crazy theories are born equally. Most of them really sound crazy. But it also happens that due to their complexity (usually confusion) and richness in detail, such theories can sound very plausible. It is about such crazy theories, which were given life by only a few people who believed in their truth, and then spread them to the masses, that we will talk about today.

Imagine that our solar system is a billiard table, and the planets are billiard balls. They constantly collide and crash against each other, creating new space objects on their way. Scientist and psychiatrist Immanuel Velikovsky wrote about the same thing in his 1950 bestseller “Collision of Worlds.”

On the pages of his book, the author reports that approximately 3500 years ago, a huge cosmic body hit Jupiter. As a result of this collision, a piece broke off from the planet, which began to wander like a comet through the solar system and at some point even caused many biblical disasters, until it eventually formed into the planet Venus.

Physicists and astronomers almost unanimously rejected Velikovsky’s theories. Largely because it violates every conceivable and inconceivable law of physics. For example, this idea was a direct contradiction to Newton's law of motion, which describes concepts such as speed and acceleration. Another contradiction to this theory was that the composition of the atmosphere of Venus is completely different from the composition of the atmosphere of Jupiter. In the end, to this day there is no geological evidence that could even indirectly speak in favor of this theory.

And yet Velikovsky’s book gained great popularity. Most likely, people were attracted by the form and content in which the author presents the reader with various biblical stories and ancient mythology.

Surely many of you have heard about the theory of the big bang, during which a universe arose from one tiny particle, which is still expanding, stretching and at the same time cooling, moving further beyond its original point of formation. But what if the big bang is the result of a big collision?

Take two universes, push them against each other, and you will see the beginning of the so-called ekpyrotic scenario for the origin of existence, the idea of ​​​​which was invented in 2001 by several physicists. In this theory, the universe has a cylindrical shape, and the events occurring in it periodically repeat. The essence of the theory is that two or more multidimensional universes collided and gave birth to our universe, but without inflation and continued expansion after the big bang.

Like many other models of the origin of the universe, the ekpyrotic scenario relies to a large extent only on assumptions about the mechanisms that allow this universe to exist. Although many modern scientists find this theory very interesting, in their opinion it is too complex and at the same time relies heavily on only a set of general assumptions.

Nature often shows us its mirror symmetry. Just in case there are black holes out there somewhere, then why not assume that there are also white holes?

Black holes are the most mysterious objects in the universe, possessing such a powerful gravitational pull that nothing, not even the smallest particle of light, can escape its fate of being absorbed into this object after crossing the point of no return - the so-called event horizon.
If we assume the existence of white holes, then in theory their event horizon will work in the completely opposite direction and instead of drawing in everything living and inanimate, it will, on the contrary, push everything away from itself.

Any matter that finds itself near a white hole will cause its destruction. Since black holes do exist and are formed as a result of the destruction of stars, that is, where matter exists, the possibility of the existence of white holes is most likely impossible.

In other words, black holes do not necessarily have their own antipode. They can actually only be points in space that do not have an “Other” side.

With all the popularity of virtual reality technology today, it is not at all surprising that there are people who believe that our universe itself is one giant illusion. It's possible that our bodies aren't actually truly three-dimensional objects, but instead we all live inside a two-dimensional hologram. A group of scientists from Fermilab (Enrico Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory) in Illinois (USA) decided to conduct an experiment to find the answer to this question.

The essence of the experiment was the use of powerful laser beams combined into an L-shaped device, called a holometer. Attention! Only if the sensors installed in the device detect variations in the brightness of laser beams, then this will most likely occur as a result of space-time noise along the path of the beam or interference. Ultimately, this could mean that the universe we live in is limited to only storing a certain amount of information.

The idea that the universe is a hologram is based on the assumption that space and time in the universe are not continuous. Instead, they are discrete and "Pixelized", so you cannot "zoom" the universe indefinitely, getting deeper and deeper into the essence of things. Upon reaching a certain value of the magnification scale, the universe takes the form of an image with very low quality and therefore little information. Ultimately, the theory suggests that the universe actually exists in only two dimensions, with the third dimension being an illusion, or hologram, created by the interference of space and time.
Nevertheless, the theory does not seem completely crazy. The main difficulty in proving or disproving this theory is that nothing in this world can move faster than the speed of light. As a result, it is not possible to determine what the world around us is - reality or a hologram.

You've probably heard the saying, "When You Wait, Time Goes Very Slowly." So, according to some theorists, if you look at the universe, or part of it, for a long time, then this process will destroy it. And some people believe that observing dark energy will destabilize our reality.
Scientists currently believe that matter—objects such as rocks, glass, water, and so on—occupies only about 4 percent of the space in the universe. More than 26 percent is allocated to dark matter. But you cannot touch this matter. And you won't see it with binoculars either. This is because dark matter is a type of mass that we cannot see. All we know about it is that it exists. This is evidenced by the gravitational effects it produces on other objects in space.
The remaining 70 percent of space is occupied by dark energy. Scientists are not yet entirely sure what it is, but it is this invisible force, in their opinion, that is the accelerating factor in the expansion of the universe.

In a highly publicized paper, Professor Lawrence Krauss theorizes that observing dark energy "Could Shorten the Lifetime of the Entire Universe." This happens as a consequence of the quantum Zeno effect - a quantum paradox according to which observation of an object can directly affect this object. In other words, if we observe dark energy, we can disrupt its internal quantum clock, which in turn can cause matter to return to an earlier form of its existence, as a result - we will all sink into oblivion.
In fact, Krauss's article (especially its ending) was greatly embellished by the media and other media sources. The scientist immediately released an edited version of his article, in which, nevertheless, he did not abandon the general idea previously proposed. So the quantum zeno effect is quite real. So, if you happen to see dark energy, for the sake of all life, for the sake of the entire universe, don't look too closely at it. Suddenly it will really “bang”.

Nothing, not even the smallest particle of light, can escape the fate of being swallowed up inside a black hole if it gets close. Unfortunately, scientists do not yet know what happens to an object that falls inside a black hole. Could it be that on the other side of this mystical cosmic body the object ends up in an evil version of Disneyland? Or maybe the object simply ceases to exist, completely collapsing, as if it did not exist at all?

Previously, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking suggested that black holes can indeed completely destroy the entire essence of an object, leaving behind only a tiny quantum trace (electric charge or spin. But there is one inconsistency in this theory. The fact is that according to all known laws of the universe information cannot be completely lost. It must be stored somewhere, otherwise there is simply no point in existence. Quantum mechanics, along with many accepted principles of physics, will disappear into oblivion, leaving scientists with only the most basic knowledge of the properties of reality.

In the late 1990s, Hawking rejected the idea that black holes completely destroy information. Instead, the scientist suggested that the information may indeed still exist, but in a completely different form.

In other words, if you have the chance to fall into a black hole, we advise you to relax and accept the fact that information about you will not be completely lost. It is quite possible that you will be restored somewhere again, but in a different form.

There is one question that torments the minds of novice astronomers from time to time. When you look at the moon, it always looks the same. Doesn't the moon rotate?
In fact, the moon rotates. This process only takes almost one earthly month. We should also not forget that in addition to rotating around its own axis, the moon also revolves around the earth, so the natural satellite of our planet is always turned to us with only one single side. This effect is called synchronous rotation.

The truth is, we don't see a static image of the moon all the time. During certain periods of its orbit, the moon is tilted towards us in such a way that we can see more of its surface. At most, only 59 percent of this celestial body can be seen from the ground. The remaining 41 percent we will never see if we are on earth. In turn, those who will be behind the moon will never see the earth.

For decades, scientists have been observing various signals from space in order to one day find evidence that this or that signal was sent in our direction by extraterrestrial life. Who knows, maybe in the far reaches of the universe there really are other forms of life, just like us, desperately dreaming of establishing contact with our cosmic brothers by sending rays consisting of electromagnetic radiation.
There are people on earth who believe with complete confidence that pulsars are actually giant beacons of aliens. These space objects are sources of electromagnetic radiation, which they release every few seconds (or fractions of seconds) as they rotate. The released beams of this energy pass through the entire universe.

Some people are beginning to accept the regular and repeated emission of pulsars as a means of communication. However, it also happens that the frequency of pulsations (radiation) changes. This occurs as a result of small changes in the rotation period of the pulsar. Until now, none of the signals received from these space objects have been so complex or structured as to suggest that this impulse is some kind of special form of communication or a transmitted message.
Perhaps one day another space civilization will actually send us a postcard for the New Year or Christmas. And if this really happens, I would like to believe that humanity will be sufficiently prepared technologically to correctly interpret the transmitted “Congratulations”.

Somewhere in the darkness of space there is a planet that has no orbit and is not attached to any star system. The planet is moving towards our earth. A collision is inevitable. Nothing on Earth can survive this catastrophe. Our world will disappear completely. Thank you for being with us all these years, our dear readers. See you in another world.

This is roughly what we would write on the pages of our website about Planet X if there was a high probability of its collision with our earth. Fortunately, there is no Planet X.
The story of Planet X first appeared in 1995. It was invented by Nancy Leader, a resident of Wisconsin (USA), during an online discussion among ufology lovers. On the forum, a woman told a story that she was allegedly abducted by aliens who sewed a tiny transmitting device into her head in order to transmit information about the threat of a collision with Planet X to the woman and the whole world.
According to her, Planet X will pass next to the earth so close that it will disrupt all the natural processes occurring on our planet and, of course, destroy all life on it. According to all the rules of rumors, this story quickly spread throughout the Internet and eventually reached the governments of many countries.

Seeing the growing panic, scientists from the Nasa aerospace agency issued a statement that if Planet X really existed, then the most powerful telescopes on earth would be able to detect it and humanity would have at least several decades to prepare for this large-scale disaster.

Crazy theories that are very logical at first glance can really interest you and make you think. Others only make you think that their authors have had too much alcohol. And most likely, when the so-called doctrine of eternal ice (German Welteislehre, also known as the Wel doctrine) was invented, the latter scenario seems more likely than the first.

The Austrian engineer Hans Hörbiger wrote a publication in 1913, which in 1918, thanks to Philipp Faut, grew into a whole book, where the authors put forward a very crazy theory of the creation of our solar system. According to this theory, everything in the universe owes its existence to ice. The book itself is full of mythological stories mixed with pseudoscience.

The story goes something like this: a long time ago, a very ancient cosmic body containing a huge amount of frozen water collided with a giant supersun (a sphere of fire. As a result of this catastrophe, the icy object exploded, releasing an incredible amount of water vapor, which subsequently crystallized and turned into many blocks of ice scattered throughout the universe. As you might have guessed, Herbiger believed that the planets of our solar system were originally formed from these blocks of ice. Moreover, the author believed that the solar system initially consisted of up to 30 planets. The story is even more interesting. comes. According to Hörbiger, hail falling on the ground is.
