Not all of these crazy theories are born the same. Most of them really sound crazy. But it also happens that due to their complexity (often entanglement) 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, read in this post.

Venus was a comet

Imagine that our solar system it's a billiard table, and the planets are billiard balls. They constantly collide and smash against each other, creating new ones in their path. space objects. The scientist and psychiatrist Immanuel Velikovsky wrote about the same thing in his 1950 bestseller Worlds Collide.

On the pages of his book, the author reports that about 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 around the solar system and at some point even caused many biblical catastrophes, until it eventually formed into the planet Venus.

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

Nevertheless, 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.

Ekpyrotic scenario

Surely many of you have heard about the Big Bang theory, during which the Universe arose from one tiny particle, which is still expanding, stretching and simultaneously cooling, moving further away from its original point of formation. But what if Big Bang is the result of the Great Collision?

Take two Universes, push them against each other and you will see the beginning of the so-called ekpyrotic scenario of the origin of being, 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 are periodically repeated. 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 greater extent only on assumptions about the mechanisms that allow this Universe to exist. Despite the fact that many modern scientists find this theory very interesting, in their opinion it is too complicated and at the same time relies more on a set of general assumptions.

white holes

Nature often shows us its mirror symmetry. If 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 powerful gravitational attraction that nothing, even the smallest particle of light, is able to 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 the horizon of their events will work in a completely opposite direction and instead of drawing everything alive and inanimate into itself, it will, on the contrary, repel everything from itself.

Any matter found near the 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 need to have their antipode. They can really only be points in space with no "other" side.

The universe is a hologram

With all the popularity of virtual reality technology today, it's no surprise that there are people who believe that our universe itself is one giant illusion. It is quite possible that our bodies are not really truly 3D objects, but instead we are all living inside a 2D hologram. A group of scientists from Fermilab (National Accelerator Laboratory named after Enrico Fermi) 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. If the sensors installed in the device determine the variation in the brightness of the laser beams, then this will most likely be due to space-time noise in the path of the beam or interference. Ultimately, this could mean that the universe in which we live has limitations that allow only a certain amount of information to be stored.

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 "pixelated", so you can not increase the "image scale" of the Universe indefinitely, penetrating 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 a very low quality and therefore little information. As a result, the theory suggests that the universe actually exists in only two dimensions, and the third dimension is an illusion, or a hologram, created by the interference of space and time.

Nevertheless, the theory does not look completely crazy. The main difficulty in proving or refuting this theory is that nothing in this world can move faster speed Sveta. As a result, it is not possible to determine what the world around us is - reality or a hologram.

Watching dark energy makes it unstable

You have probably heard the saying “when you wait, time goes by very slowly”. So, according to some theorists, if you look at the Universe for a long time, or a part of it, then this process will destroy it. And some people believe that observing dark energy destabilizes our reality.

Scientists currently believe that matter - objects such as rocks, glass, water, and so on - occupy only about 4 percent of the space in the universe. More than 26 percent are reserved for dark matter. But you can't touch this stuff. And you can't see it with binoculars either. This is because dark matter is a type of mass that we cannot see. All we know about her is that she exists. This is evidenced by its gravitational effects that it produces on other objects in space.

The remaining 70 percent of space is occupied by dark energy. Scientists aren't entirely sure what it is yet, but it's this invisible force that they believe 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 result of the quantum Zeno effect - a quantum paradox according to which the observation of an object can directly affect this object. In other words, if we observe dark energy, then we can knock down its internal quantum clock, which in turn can cause matter to return to an earlier form of its existence. As a result, we all will 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. If you happen to see dark energy, then for the sake of all life, for the sake of the entire universe, do not look at it too closely. All of a sudden, it really "booms".

The Information Paradox of Black Holes

Nothing, not even the smallest particle of light, is able to escape the fate of being absorbed into a black hole, be close. Unfortunately, scientists do not yet know what happens to an object that has fallen inside a black hole. Maybe 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 destroyed, 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 footprint ( 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 washing away in the existence of everything. Quantum mechanics, along with many accepted principles of physics, will fade 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 information may indeed exist, but in a completely different form.

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

The moon doesn't rotate

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. Does the moon not rotate?

In fact, the moon rotates. Only this process takes almost one Earth month. You should also not forget that in addition to rotating around its own axis, the Moon also turns around the Earth, so the natural satellite of our planet is always turned towards us with only one single side. This effect is called synchronous rotation.

In truth, we don't always see a static image of the moon. 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 can be seen from Earth. celestial body. 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.

Pulsars - beacons of aliens

For decades, scientists have been watching 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 life forms, just like us, desperately dreaming of making contact with space brothers by sending beams consisting of electromagnetic radiation.

There are people on Earth who believe with complete certainty 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) during their rotation. The released beams of this energy pass through the entire Universe.

The regular and repetitive emission of pulsars is beginning to be accepted by some people as a means of communication. However, it also happens that the frequency of pulsations (radiation) changes. This happens as a result of small changes in the period of rotation of the pulsar. So far, none of the received signals from these space objects was not so complex or structured as to suggest that this impulse is some kind of special form of communication or message transmitted.

Perhaps one day another space civilization will indeed send us a postcard on New Year or Christmas. And if this really happens, I would like to believe that humanity will be technologically prepared enough to correctly interpret the transmitted “congratulations”.

Planet X will destroy our world

Somewhere in the darkness of space there is a planet that does not have an orbit and is not tied to any star system. The planet is moving towards our Earth. A collision is inevitable. Nothing on Earth will be able to survive after this catastrophe. Our world will completely disappear. Thank you for being with us all these years, our dear readers. See you in another world.

Approximately so we would write on the pages of our site about the 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 of ufology lovers. At the forum, a woman told the 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 through it to the woman and the whole world.

According to her, planet X will pass close to the Earth so close that it will disrupt all natural processes occurring on our planet and, of course, destroy all life on it. By all the rules of rumor, this story quickly spread all over 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 Earth's most powerful telescopes would be able to detect it and humanity would have at least several decades to prepare for this large-scale catastrophe.

Doctrine eternal ice

At first glance, very logical crazy theories can really interest you and make you think. Others just make you think that their authors went too far strong drinks. And most likely, when the so-called doctrine of eternal ice (German Welteislehre, also known as the doctrine of "Vel") 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, one very ancient cosmic body containing a huge amount of frozen water collided with a giant supersun (fire sphere). 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, Hörbiger believed that the planets of our solar system were originally formed from just these blocks of ice. At the same time, the author believed that initially the solar system consisted of up to 30 planets. Then the story gets even more interesting. According to Hörbiger, hail falling on the Earth is the result of meteors hitting the Earth's atmosphere.

Hörbiger died in 1931, but he would hardly have been happy with the fact that his theory had become historiosophical in nature for the Third Reich. And interesting fact lies in the fact that Soviet Russia was interpreted as the concentration of the forces of eternal ice as opposed to the swastika solar Third Reich.

theories

Cosmic theory of the origin of life on earth

One of the most exciting problems modern science the problem of the origin of life on Earth. It is known that about 3.5 billion years ago, the simplest microstructures appeared, which, gradually evolving, degenerated into more complex living organisms. At a certain stage of evolution, primates and the crown of nature, homo sapiens, appeared. If there had been no first unicellular organisms, man would not have appeared. It is all the more important to understand what led to the emergence of the first living organisms on Earth.

One of the versions of the origin of life is cosmic. Outer space at a temperature close to absolute zero, - 273 degrees Celsius, filled with clouds of gas and dust. In the interstellar matter, along with hydrogen and helium, there are elements such as carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. It is from these elements that organic compounds are formed. Obtained data on the presence in the space environment organic molecules and their fragments. Meteorites that fell to Earth in different eras also contain traces of organic compounds. Perhaps it was the nuclei of comets and other cosmic bodies bombarding the Earth that brought the seeds of life to the planet.

The cosmic hypothesis of the origin of life received unexpected confirmation in the study of permafrost by biologists. They proved that in ice and frozen soil, microorganisms can remain viable for a long time. Permafrost has existed on Earth for millions of years, but the impact of low temperatures has not destroyed living cells, since they are able to rearrange metabolic processes in order to minimize them and exist in a state of suspended animation for a long time. When occurring in environment appropriate conditions, living cells return to an active state. Anabiosis is a kind of existence of life in a preserved form. It is in this form that microorganisms are found in permafrost, which occupies about 40 percent of the earth's land.

In the 1980s, scientists from the Institute of Fundamental biological problems The Russian Academy of Sciences, together with the Faculty of Soil Science of Moscow State University, began studying permafrost in the Kolyma River basin, where the average annual temperature ranges from -7 to -1ZC. In the frozen pounds, which are three million years old, a huge number of bacteria and other viable organisms have been found. Researchers have determined that one gram of rock contains hundreds of millions of living cells. A microbiological study showed that the cellular structure of the organisms was not disturbed. In Kolyma, the permafrost, which is three million years old, extends very deep. Permafrost research has also been carried out on the Yamal Peninsula, Alaska, Canada and Antarctica, where the permafrost is even older.

Cells need water to stay alive. In permafrost, it is always present in the form of films around particles. The samples taken by the scientists contain between 2 and 7 percent water. Living organisms found in the permafrost were placed in nutrient medium. Some of them at the same time left the state of anabiosis and began to grow and reproduce. However, the majority remained in a dormant state, but this only indicates that special conditions are necessary for activation.

In addition to bacteria in permafrost samples from different regions the globe more complex organisms have been found: algae, fungi and yeast, their content reaches one million cells per gram. Living cells in permafrost are surrounded by capsules consisting of organic and mineral compounds. The capsules retain the water needed to sustain life for a long time. Studies of the obtained material showed that bacteria multiply even at very low temperatures - up to -25C. Without losing viability, they can endure temperatures up to -240 degrees for a long time, comparable to the temperature in space. This is another confirmation of the hypothesis of an extraterrestrial origin of life.

There are traces of life on the planets of the solar system. It is believed that conditions on Mars in the past were similar to those on Earth. The planet is comparable in size to the Earth both in distance from the Sun and in size, in ancient times the temperature on it was higher, and it was surrounded by a much denser atmosphere.

Now there is no liquid water on the Red Planet, but it is present in the form of ice in the polar caps. There are reasons to believe that earlier liquid water existed on the planet in large quantities, this is evidenced, in particular, by the relief of the Martian surface. Perhaps ice still exists on the planet at lower latitudes, and not just at the poles. It is simply covered with a layer of soil and therefore invisible.

In 1984 there was significant event- a meteorite weighing two kilograms was found on the surface of a glacier in Antarctica. American scientists have determined that it is of Martian origin. According to calculations, 16 billion years ago, an asteroid hit the surface of the Red Planet, and a piece separated from it, which wandered for a long time in the expanses of the solar system, until it fell in Antarctica about 13 thousand years ago.

The meteorite produced in scientific world sensation, structures similar to traces of bacteria were found in it. A hypothesis arose that even now on Mars there is life in a state of suspended animation in the thickness of the permafrost. The permafrost on Mars is much older than the earth, its age is measured in billions of years. If life on Mars arose in the same period as on Earth, that is, 3.5 billion years ago, it could have survived in permafrost, despite the catastrophic changes on the planet that caused the disappearance of a significant part of the atmosphere.

In the light of this assumption, studies of living cells found in the earth's permafrost become very important, allowing us to work out methods for searching for traces of life on Mars. Biologists have discovered ultra microbacteria and nanobacteria similar to those found in a Martian meteorite. When these organisms were placed in a nutrient medium, they began to multiply. Experiments have shown that they remain viable at very adverse conditions, in particular, withstand temperatures up to 600°C, pressures up to 20,000 times the atmospheric pressure on Earth, and harsh electromagnetic radiation. They are not killed high level radiation and the presence heavy metals. This amazing resilience indicates that living cells are able to endure, so to speak, "long interstellar flight."

So, the study of living cells from layers of permafrost and traces of microorganisms in meteorites proves the possibility of an extraterrestrial origin of life. Conditions on Earth 3.5 billion years ago were just right to wake up dormant cells from outer space. They became active and began to multiply, being the initial link in a long chain of evolutionary changes.

In conclusion, it is worth adding that irrefutable evidence of the hypothesis of a cosmic invasion of life on our planet has not yet been received. Many scientists consider it much more reliable to assume that unique conditions appeared on Earth in the distant past, which made it possible to first appear organic compounds and then a living cell.

Many are accustomed to hearing the phrase "moonlight", while few people thought that the moon does not actually shine, but only reflects light. sun. This became known not so long ago - for many hundreds and thousands of years people believed that it was a luminary, but already in those ancient times they called it "cold". Our ancestors were not mistaken about this satellite - Moon really cold - this was proved by experiments conducted by scientists. Usually we see the part of the Moon illuminated by the Sun, but there are exceptions that occur during the periods of the new moon, during which weak light reflected from the surface of the Earth highlights the so-called " dark side of this grandiose celestial body. The Moon reflects only seven percent of the sunlight that hits it, which explains why it is so "dim" compared to the Sun. It is interesting that after periods characterized by rather stormy solar activity, some places on the surface of the Moon glow faintly with luminescent light. On the side of the Moon, which is always turned towards our planet, there are dark areas visible to the naked eye. They are called the seas, which, because of their relatively flat surface, were once chosen for the landings of the very first expeditions.

Later studies show that these seas have a dry surface, covered with small fragments of lava and porous stones, which are quite rare. These vast dark areas of the moon are strikingly different from the bright regions of the mountains, whose uneven surface is much better able to reflect light. Spaceships, which circled the Moon, showed, despite all expectations, that there are no large seas on its far side, so that it does not look like its visible part. Why this happens remains a mystery. It is curious that near the horizon, the Moon seems much larger than high in the sky - this optical illusion was noticed by the ancients, who composed their myths and considered the Moon to be a living being. The point is, as shown psychological experiments that the observer tends to subconsciously adjust the perception of the size of an object in relation to the size of other objects in his field of view. That is why the Moon seems somewhat smaller to us when it is high in the sky, surrounded by large spaces; however, when it moves near the horizon, its size can be easily compared with the distance to this horizon. Having fallen under the influence of this comparison, people unconsciously reinforce their own impression of its size. Moon as a satellite Earth, has an extraordinary impact on the lives of its inhabitants.

Space, the last frontier. Seemingly boundless space at first glance, fraught with an infinite number of the most 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's hard 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 loudly” about what might be “out there” and at the same time, thanks to 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 is more scary, they try to force out real science and replace true knowledge with crazy theories, which in turn can be very dangerous.

Venus was a comet

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. The scientist and psychiatrist Immanuel Velikovsky wrote about the same thing in his 1950 bestseller Worlds Collide.

The universe is a hologram

Nevertheless, the theory does not look completely crazy. The main difficulty in proving or refuting 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.

Doctrine of Eternal Ice

At first glance, very logical crazy theories can really interest you and make you think. Others make you only think that their authors went too far in strong drinks. And most likely, when the so-called doctrine of eternal ice (German Welteislehre, also known as the doctrine of "Vel") was invented, the latter scenario seems more likely than the first.

Hörbiger died in 1931, but he would hardly have been happy with the fact that his theory had become historiosophical in nature for the Third Reich. And the interesting fact is that Soviet Russia was interpreted as the concentration of the forces of eternal ice as opposed to the swastika solar Third Reich.

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

And hundreds of thousands of generations who are denied kinship with us remain rootless wanderers. Meanwhile, even Charles Darwin never claimed that man descended from an ape, and it was impossible for him, because the great naturalist remained a deeply religious person until the end of his days. In fact, Ch. Darwin spoke only about the fact that man and monkey 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 free assumption that our ancestors were "cosmic seedlings", migrants of the Universe, interested in the development of another branch of intelligent and spiritualized life.

"SPACE TROOP" 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 geological history Earth, it was the equatorial belt that was distinguished by stability electromagnetic environment, which was supposed to facilitate the adaptation of the settlers to their new environment.

Thanks to the work of archaeologists, we know that these settlers had a small - about one and a half meters - growth and a peculiar structure of the skull. Large eye sockets, like in many animals that lead a nocturnal lifestyle, 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 Australopithecus - ours. true ancestors. The peculiar structures of the brain part of their skull consist in the occipital scales and a small, sharply sloping forehead.

The first sign may indicate a powerful development of the occipital muscles - the 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 a “tree stage” in the history of our ancestors.

The second sign - a sloping small forehead - clearly indicates the underdevelopment of the frontal lobes responsible for the associative, abstract thinking. At the same time, such a structure of the brain skull is suggested by other, uncharacteristic modern man, anatomical features of the brain. It is known, for example, that in some species of animals with underdevelopment of the frontal lobes, the anterior sections of the cranium are occupied by a well-developed central section of the olfactory tract.

All these signs paint a portrait of our common ancestor - a miniature, light, big-eyed creature, busy gathering food by no means in climbing bushes and trees. He has excellent eyesight and sense of smell, which provides Australopithecus with excellent orientation in the habitat and survival of the species: it warns in a timely manner about the presence of an enemy, the presence of food or a sexual partner nearby.

For now, we will not touch on the questions of where and why this “cosmic seedling” came to Earth. We only note that over the next one and a half million years, as a result of partial separation, it gave at least two dead-end branches - the giant southern and northern Australopithecus. But a relatively small tribe of small (graceful) Australopithecus, for some reason unknown to us, remained at the site of the primary settlement, avoiding leaving for narrow ecological niches. It was they who were able to stay on the main path of the formation of the Homo clan. 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 representations of the pre-Jewish tribes of Ancient Asia and the Middle East, including the Babylonian-Sumerian, Aryan, Canaanite, 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:

Paradise is inhabited by “innocent souls”;

Insensitive ("no tears, no sighs");

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, it’s more likely not life, but a kind of dream state, similar to “hypobiosis” - slowed down vital activity! What kind of strange fantasies did the authors of ancient myths possess, why such detailing, devoid of meaning? But it is also aggravated by stories about how extracted from such a Paradise, not understanding anything, Adam and Eve suddenly turn out to be able to both feel and think!

But what if we try to fantasize about the non-randomness of the signs indicated in the Bible?

Imagine that under the "innocent souls" there is a sign of ... immaturity. After all, in biblical times, and in ours, no one doubts the innocence of a child's soul.

Imagine further that the "space experimenter" is faced with the task of preparing these "souls" for the very fact of migration from Paradise to Earth. It is clear that the preparation should be carried out in such a way that the physically healthy future colonist would be protected mentally as well. No adult psyche reasonable person will not withstand the realization of the absolute impossibility of returning to the usual extraterrestrial existence.

Let's gather courage and imagine how the Creator could reason - The need to grow a creature devoid of memory of its own past requires the transfer of the functions of all organs, including the cerebral cortex, to the state of hypobiosis mentioned above. This is easy to implement without any sophisticated 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 cease. 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, getting, for example, into a stuffy room. Lack of oxygen in the blood (hypoxia) gives us a feeling of lethargy, fatigue, inability to mental work.)

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

If we consider food proteins (peptides) not just as a set of various amino acids, but as carriers of new information programs, then only plants rich in fat-soluble vitamins A and E can claim the role of 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, suppurations were treated by rubbing the affected area with the juice of turpentine leaves.

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

In the body, where the work of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland and adrenal glands

Perhaps everyone is familiar with Darwin's theory. It is taught in schools scientific fact origin of man on earth. According to Charles Darwin, Homo sapiens appeared as a result of evolution and natural selection, turning from an ordinary monkey into a reasonable person. However, this theory is still subject to criticism. Opponents of Darwinism believe that the author of the theory is not convincing enough in his scientific works.

However, there are much stranger theories.

Spontaneous generation

The theory of spontaneous origin of life on Earth adhered to Aristotle. Thinkers in Ancient China, Egypt and Babylon. All of them were sure that certain “particles” of a substance carry a certain “active principle” in themselves, and it is this element that, under the necessary conditions, can create a living organism. An example was a chicken egg, sunlight and rotting meat.

"Life Force"

Scientist V. Gelmont in the 17th century, he claimed to have created mice on his own in three weeks. This he managed to achieve with the help of a dirty shirt, a dark closet and wheat. He was sure that human sweat is of decisive importance in the production of a mouse. It was he, according to Helmont, who was that “life force” that makes the living from the inanimate arise. In particular, the scientist was sure that In a similar way frogs came from swamps, flies from meat, and worms from soil. From what, in the end, man came, Helmont found it difficult to say.

Was it all like that?

Another group of scientists actively defended the idea that the Earth and all life on it never arose at all, but always existed on their own. True, this hypothesis is opposed by modern astrophysicists, who have proved that the lifetime of any stars, including planetary systems, is finite.

Back in 1865, a German scientist Herman Eberhard Richter suggested that life on Earth was brought from space, and living cells came to our planet with meteorites and space dust. Indirectly, this theory is confirmed by the high resistance of some organisms to radiation and extremely low temperatures. But nevertheless, this hypothesis does not have enough facts proving the extraterrestrial origin of microorganisms.

We are the virus

Another version of the cosmic origin of life on Earth was proposed in 1973 Francis Creek and Leslie Orgel. They were sure that living cells on Earth appeared as a result of their deliberate contamination of the planet. Allegedly, they were delivered using unmanned spacecraft by an advanced alien civilization, which was forced to take this step by the impending global catastrophe. Thus, as a consequence, modern people on Earth are the descendants of those same aliens.

Everything is not real

But there are adherents and much more shocking versions. So, some scientists seriously believe that our world is not real, but a matrix. The people in it are incorporeal entities that work out certain skills in the matrix.

Water Origin Theory

Biologist Alistair Hardy, taking Darwin's theory as a basis, suggested that people descended from aquatic creatures. As confirmation of his conjectures, he cites data on an amphibian monkey (hydropithecus), which led an aquatic lifestyle.

Chiroptera theory

According to another theory, people on Earth are the descendants of some bats that once lived on the planet. Interestingly, the Sumerians have images of such creatures. It is these bird people that are present on the seals of an ancient vanished civilization.
