7 Strange Phenomena That Can not Be Solved Scientists

-timetotalks-

1. Naga Fireballs
Bola naga ini terjadi setiap bulan Okboer di Sungai Mekong yang terletak di Vietnam. Fenomena ini kemudian di namai sebagai Naga Fireballs (beneran loh gan namanya ini bukan Dragon Fireballs, tapi Naga Fireballs, wew make bahasa indo nih ). Dan Ilmuwan-Ilmuwan terkemuka sepakat untuk menyatakan fenomena ini sebagai "just weird as shit."

Prosessnya seperti ini nih : Mulai dari bawah air, 10 dan 100 bola api bermunculan dari dasar sungai, terbang setinggi beberapa kaki lalu menghilang. Naga Fireballs ini dipertontonkan oleh Ribuan Pengunjung dalam negri maupun manca-negara.


2. Star Jelly
Pada saat jatuhnya meteor dari luar angkasa, 90% dari kejadian itu selalu menjatuhkan Star Jelly, tetapi kebanyakan orang mengatakan jika ubur-ubur luar angkasa yang telah terbelah-belah akibat tabrakan meteor.Ada banyak warga dari berbagai negara yang mengatakan akan kejadian aneh ini dan orang Jerman mengatakannya sebagai "Sternenrotz".


3. Blue Jets and Red Sprites
Fenomena yang aneh ini hanya dapat dilihat dari luar angkasa atou dengan pesawat (pesawat luar angkasa). Sprite dan Jet selalu muncul pada saat petir tiba. Sprite setiap waktu biasanya terlihat 50 miles dari permukaan, sedangkan Jet menyamabar langsung ketanah dari sumbernya.


4. Earthquake Lights
Pada tahun 372 SM, orang-orang sering melihat cahaya aneh di langit biru, dan setelah itu terjadi guncangan-guncangan atou gempa. Biasanya cahaya itu sering terlihat di Cina. Cahaya ini juga dilaporkan terlihata pada saat gempa di Peru.


5. Red Rain in Karela
Ketika agan melihat hujan pasti agan berkata "apakah kaos kakiku basah" atou "Apakah aku punya waktu untuk mengeringkan rambutku", tapi itu semua beda jika agan tinggal di Karela, India. Dari Juli hingga September karela mengalami pengalaman yang panjang, yaitu dihujani oleh air berwarna merah. (Walaupun sebenarnya pernah dihujani oleh hujan yang berwarna biru dan hitam, tapi merah lebih ekstreme). Hingga saat ini belom ada satupun ilmuwan yang dapat memecahkan fenomena aneh ini.


6. Raining Animals
Dari beberapa tahun, orang-orang telah melaporkan jika pernah dihujani oleh binatang dari langit di beberapa negara. Kodok telah dilaporkan pernah menghujani negara jepang, Cacing-cacing secara spontan tersebar di tanah dalam jumlah yang cukup banyak di Lousiana, Ikan-ikan berjatuhan di singapur dan California, bahkan ada beberapa yang mengatakan sapi-sapi datang dari langit.


7. Spontaneus Human Combustion
Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) adalah fenomena yang terjadi ketika seseorang terbakar secara tiba-tiba tanpa alasan apapun dan terpanggang seperti Popcorn gosong bahkan hingga abu. Dan pertanyaan aslinya adalah "What the hell is setting these people on fire" yang artinya "Neraka apa yang telah membakar orang-orang ini".

Teori dari SHC yang dikemukakan oleh Dr. Gavin Thurston adalah sebagai berikut :

* Dalam beberapa kondisi, tubuh akan membakar dirinya untuk membakar lemak-lemak yang tersimpan, yang tidak menghasilkan keruskana pada sekitarnya.
* Pembakarannya tidak secara langsung / spontan, tapi melalui panas yang berada di sekitar korban.
* Ini sering terjadi ketika tubuh korban sedang mengalami pertumbuhan melalui ramuan-ramuan (secara tidak sehat gan).
* Penyakit Flu / batuk dapat mencegah SHC.
Dari banyaknya penyelidikan Dr. Wilton Krogman membuat percobaan pada mayat manusia yang masih utuh untuk dibakar, dari percobaannya itu, didapatkan jika api yang panasnya 2500 derajat Fahrenheit tidak dapat membakar hingga abu dalam waktu singkat, melainkan 8 jam, dan hanya api sepanas lebih dari 4000 derajat Fahrenheit lah yang dapat membakar tulang-tulang hingga abu.

   But there is one weakness of Avira AntiVir Personal-FREE Antivirus that might harm you, Avira AntiVir Personal-FREE Antivirus sometimes incorrectly detect the file/ application as a virus (false alarm).

How To Make a 3D Paper Snowflake

This is a little more complicated than a two-dimensional paper snowflake, but it looks beautiful and is a suitable craft for children adept with scissors and patient in making crafts. It will produce a 6-armed three-dimensional snowflake decoration that makes a perfect tree decoration or window-hanger.

edit Steps

1. 1
   

   
   Assemble the materials. See "Things You'll Need", at the bottom of the page.

2. 2
   Fold each of the 6 pieces of paper in half, diagonally. If the paper you're using doesn't make a perfect triangle, cut off the edge that sticks out (rectangular edge) and make it align perfectly.
3. 3
   

   
   Cut 3 lines on each side of the triangle from the folded edge (as per video), making sure not to cut through the unfolded paper edges. The cut lines should be parallel to one another each side and come close to meeting in the middle but not touch; leave a small space between them. To make this easier, you can fold the triangle in half. This way you'll cut both sides at once, making a very symmetrical snowflake. This might not be suitable for thicker paper, since the number of layers makes it difficult to cut through.
4. 4
   

   
   Unfold your paper and turn it so that the diamond shape is facing you for working with.
5. 5
   

   
   Still keeping your paper diamond side-up, roll the first two innermost paper lines together to form a tube. Tape these two pieces together. You should see triangle shapes on each side of the roll.
6. 6
   

   
   Turn the diamond over to the other side. Take the next two paper lines and pull them together on the opposite side of the tube and tape together as before. This will be a more rounded shape and wider than the first tube.
7. 7
   

   
   Keep turning the paper and joining the paper lines together on opposite side until all paper lines have been joined.
8. 8
   Repeat steps 3 - 7 with the remaining 5 pieces of paper. You may also now cut the paper in mass.
9. 9
   

   
   Join 3 of the completed rolled pieces together at one end and staple together using the other hand. Do the other 3 pieces the same way. Now you will have 2 pieces consisting of 3 strands or "arms" each.
10. 10
    

    
    Staple the two new pieces together in the middle. You're almost done!
11. 11
    

    
    Lastly, staple where each of the 6 arms meet. This ensures that the snowflake shape is pulled into place. See illustration at top for the finished snowflake.

edit Tips

• Larger snowflakes: If you want larger snowflakes, use larger paper. You will probably need to cut more lines though; work it out from how large your piece of paper is. Don't try enlarging your snowflakes until you are comfortable with the method of making them with the suggested paper size first.
• 
  Paper color variations: You could vary the paper color if you want to match a Christmas color theme - red or green for instance. Those left over bits of holiday wrapping paper also work very well - just keep in mind that one side of the paper will be plain white while the other side will be colorful. Try using tinfoil or glitter paper.
• Decoration ideas: If you want to "jazz up" your snowflakes, put liquid glitter on the snowflake along various parts of the paper lines. Silver, gold, red or green are probably the most suitable colors to use. Or you could think of other additions; the author tried tiny buttons and stick-on costume gems one year and they looked exquisite. Just remember though, that these do not store very well (easily crushed) and you might be throwing them out. Of course, you can always pull off the additional decorated pieces and keep for another time or craft.
• Be patient. This is not a craft to be rushed but it is easy to make if you proceed slowly and carefully.
• 2-Dimensional alternatives: See Related Links and External Links below for 2-dimensional snowflake patterns suitable for younger kids (and the impatient!).
• For extra special results, mirror two pieces next to each other.
• Fold one edge in half twice to find the position where to cut, and use this as a template for all the other pieces.
• For smaller snowflakes, it may be easier to use double sided tape in place of staples, particularly while adhering the individual arms to one another. It also depends on what paper you use as well. If you've got scrap-booking paper ensure the double-sided tape is a good brand so that it can adequately hold the stiffer paper. If you do this step keep the snowflakes because they are hard to make.
• Another really good choice for adhesion is Elmer's Glue-All. You can make many different sizes using this stuff, it dries really fast and is super sticky and sticks to almost every kind of paper.

edit Warnings

• Be patient when cutting the parallel lines, so that you don't over cut to the other edges or accidentally cut into the line on the opposite side; if this happens, start again with a new piece of paper.
• If you want a "perfect" snowflake, make sure the lines you cut are identical for each square.
• Work slow and steady. Rushing could lead to a ruined snowflake, or your hands being cut up by scissors.

edit Things You'll Need

• 6 evenly sized squares of paper - preferably white, for the color of snowflakes; printer paper is fine, or try drawing pad paper. The size of your paper square can vary from 4" to 10" (10cm - 25cm). The paper should be of a good strength to hold up the snowflake structure. You might want to look for "patty paper", the kind used in food service, if there is a restaurant supply store near you.
• Scissors
• Tape
• Stapler
• Liquid glitter (optional)
