Top 10 scientifically strange places in the world

        There are many beautiful places on our earth to visit. Among them, we also  classified seven places as seven wonders of the world. The places are so beautiful and amazing that a person who visits that places will be impressed. But in our beautiful world there exist some places also that are scientifically difficult to believe. Even scientists also have to struggle to understand there formation. Such places will surely make you wonder because they follow extremely against scientific laws.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.  Devil's Kettle

 

        The Devil's kettle in Minnesota, is one of the most mysterious place in the world. Along the brule river, at a particular point the river water splits into two. The water of one split goes on to the Lake Superior, while nobody knows where the water of the other split goes. It's a complete  mystery.

 

 

 

 

        Researchers and scientists had carried out many experience to find it out. They tried putting dye into the river water and waited to see which part get coloured, but the effort was futile, nothing turned up coloured. Next they decided to try with Ping Pong balls, but that also vanished. Hence the mystery continues.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.  Hessdalen lights

 

        Hessdalen valley which is located in Norway, is surrounded by a great scientific mystery. Almost every night lights appear in the sky. The light that are of bright colours, they dance around, flash unmistakably, shift their shapes and disappear. This has been continuing for four decade atleast. Scientists are also gone nuts by this mystery.

 

 

 

 

        So many theories are there but none of them are good enough to conclude them. The people of 1930s have spotted light and hypothesized what could be causing them. One theory suggests that the lake is so Radioactive, the radon rides dust particle reacts upon elevation it decays and produces light. While the other theory suggests that the base of the valley is of sulphuric acid and it causes lightning. Anyhow none of the theories locate the exact cause of light.

 

 

 

 

3.  Movile Cave

 

        In southeastern Romania there is a cave which was locked from the slightest ray of light for 5.5 million years and that has a completely different atmosphere from the other places on earth. This cave was discovered by some of the workers who are looking to set up a power plant. They tested the ground to see if it was a safe place to build up a power plant. But they found some new pathway there which leads to completely strangers place on earth.

 

 

 

 

        If you passes through the pathway you enter and narrow shaft and pass a series of tunnel, you reach a chamber with lake of sulfuric acid, stinking of rotten eggs, the air that is toxic filled with hydrogen sulfide and contaminated with hundred times of the surface level of carbon dioxide. The strangers part is that a whole ecosystem has survived inside. Researchers have found almost 33 species inside the cave that do not exist anywhere outside of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.  Lake Karachay

 

        Lake karachay is situated in the southern mountains in eastern Russia. It was the place where Soviet Union had dumped their nuclear weapons facilities in the past. The surrounding area are also highly contaminated with radioactive wastes. The lake is so radioactive that you will die within an hour if you stand near it. Still the entire place is unstable and massively radioactive and thus it has been described as most polluted spot on earth by Washington DC based world watch Institute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwatch_Institute

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.  The Double Tree of Casorzo

 

        There is an unusual sight in the country side of Piedmont, Italy. There is a cherry tree that grows on the top of Mulberry tree. This isn't completely unprecedented. But normally parasitic trees are small stunted things and lived short lives before falling off. The DoubleTree of Casorzo consists of two fully formed healthy trees which make them anusual.

 

 

 

 

        Nobody knows the exact reason, probably a bird dropped is seed of cherry on the top of Mulberry tree which then grew the root through the hollow trunk of a Mulberry tree to reach the soil which made a cherry seed to grow into a healthy tree. Well there is no valid evidences and still it is a mystery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6.  The sleeping city of Kalachi

 

        The citizen of Karachi faces a very particular epidemic. People randomly collapse into naps even when walking on the road. This mysterious city is located in Karachi in Northern Kazakhstan. The even complain of weakness headaches and memory loss while waking up. The epidemic affects people from all ages and genders.

 

 

 

 

        One theory suggests that it may cause due to some bacteria or a virus. And the other theory suggest the reason for this epidemic is of radiation poisoning as this area is near uranium mines. However upon running several test on the patients nothing explain the strange sleeping sickness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7.  Circles of Nambia

 

        Namib desert is in western part of South Africa, has an ecological mystery. There are fields of grass which is carved with circles at regular intervals. The circles are perfectly created and it range from 10 to 65 feet in diameter. Studies confirms that the circle passes through a life cycle of 30 to 60 years. This circle patches has long been a puzzle and the investigation has proved to challenging.

 

 

 

 

        Scientists have came forward with different theories, but all have been debunked immediately. Norbert Jergens, an environmental scientist suggested that the termites may be the cause of the circle. But in 2015 Walter Schinkle, a biologist tested it and disproved it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. The Hum of the Taos

 

        The residence of Taos in New Mexico have been complaining of a barely audible buzzing sound that is infuriating them. It can be heard all around the town since 1990 and it has driven people nuts.

 

 

 

 

        Study suggest that at least two percent of people could hear it at a different frequency between 32 Hz and 80 Hz, modulated from 0.5 to 2 Hz. For 20 years various investigators have tried to locate the hum but of no success.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9.  Never ending lightning Storm

 

        In western Venezuela over the Catatumbo river, there cause a storm that never ends. It hosts thousands of lightning strikes every hour, at night. In the night sky is regularly illuminated for 9 hours with thousands of storms and naturally produced electricity.

 

 

 

 

        The leading theory suggests that it had somethings to do with uranium which was deposited in the bedrock in early 1960s. Any how scientist doubt this theory as a complicated one. Another theory suggests that the conductivity of the air above the lake was the causing factor by the abundance of Methane from oil fields below https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228765466_Pyroelectrical_model_for_intracloud_lightning

 

 But none of the theories has been proved till now and hence it was a mystery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10.  The boiling river

 

        The Shanay -Timpishka, is a tributary of the Amazon river is called as the boiling river in the world. The river is so hot that if an animal step into it, the river can boil the animal alive. The river is 6.4 kilometre long. The river gets hot at 91 degrees celsius.

 

 

 

 

        The source of the chief was investigated by a geothermal scientist Andres Ruzo. He learned that the river maintains its high temperature even though there is no active volcanoes or geothermal vents near it. It provides geothermal heating by groundwater as it is closer to the earth Mantle https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_mantle  underground water tends to be of a higher temperature.

 

 

 

 

         Though there are many theories related to this boiling water, the fact of the boiling river is a natural feature. Hence this is also a huge mystery of a river which kills everything that falls into it.
