Locations That "Do Not Obey" The Laws Of Nature

0:03 [Music] where would you go if you could choose any place on our planet absolutely any place where your imagination or childhood dreams would take you to the top of Everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench or maybe to an abandoned polar station in the Eternal Snows of Antarctica stop let's be clear it's trivial because there are places on Earth that can ES astonish even a seasoned traveler on our planet there are still locations that do not obey the laws of nature and despite the progress of science thousands of scientists continue being in the realm of guesswork and forming incredible hypotheses about the reasons for the emergence of these

0:49 places on Earth today we will together descend to the bottom of the ocean explore the cave which is at least 5 million years old climb into the crater in the remote Tiga and stroll through the sultry desert we will shake our nonfunctioning gadgets together in the zone of Silence turn objects into rocks and search for missing cars in a natural funnel we will learn about gravity hills stand under a Double Tree look for unusual lights in the sky warm our hands over the river with boiling water and hide from the Cascade of thousands of lightning bolts and at the very end of the video you will see a place that will

1:36 first disgust you and then Delight you 15 most unusual places on Earth don't forget to like this video right now and press the Subscribe button because your activity is the best fuel for the development of our Channel we are in the Deep Siberian tiger in Russia in a place that both with people and animals avoid this is the Pomsky crater or PM crater or for locals the fiery Eagle's Nest the size of this crater is impressive it reaches a height of about 40 m 131 ft and its diameter at the ridge is 76 M 249 ft

2:23 it's impossible to miss the gloomy gray mountain with a flat top that looks like it was cut off with a blade again a background of bright green vegetation more than 70 years have passed since its Discovery and scientists still don't understand the origins of the crater if this is a trace of a meteorite fall then where did the meteorite debris and fusion crust go if secret nuclear tests were conducted here then why is the radiation background not high at all the Expedition sent to the crater in 2005 wanted to find definite answers to these and other questions but unfortunately just 5 km from the site the mission was terminated due to the

3:09 sudden death of the expedition's head this story increased the mysticism around the PM crater but the research of the puzzling site continued scientists made different hypotheses some suggested that the crater is the place of the fall of a super strong cylindrical object which squeezed out rock pie es to the top and struck at a depth of 100 to 300 M 328 to 984 ft there were also fantastic versions about traces from a fragment of a quark star the existence of which is assumed only theoretically one of the latest theories claims that the potm crater is still of volcanic nature and belongs to gas volcanoes

3:55 formed by methane emissions either way there is still no evidence for this Theory which means that the mystery of the fire eagle nest is still unsolved from Russia we head West to North America here 40 km 25 mi from saos Mexico and 650 km 44 mi from the American city of El Paso Texas lies a place where all equipment fails to work this is the Mimi silent Zone at first glance this strip of desert doesn't seem noteworthy at all wherever you look there is a dreary plane with thorny bushes and cacti but according to

4:40 Santiago Garcia a Mexican historian and politician people knew about the strangeness of this place in the middle of the 19th century seeing Hot Rocks falling from the sky to the ground later locals began to talk about plants and animals with various mus mutations and deformities found here however the desert strip gained close attention only in the' 70s when the American experimental ballistic Athena rocket suddenly deviated from the course and collapsed in the middle of the silent Zone the US sent a special team to the crash site to remove all the wreckage the rescue operation launched a new wave of myths and legends about the place one

5:27 more hearsay was added to the rumors of about strange magnetic anomalies mutations of Flora and Fauna locals told about seeing unusual Wanderers of very high stature or on the contrary very small however no evidence of any of the anomalies of the Zone was found but this does not mean that the stories about radio signal loss were completely false there are mountain ranges around the silent Zone that could possibly cause some interference the only other feature of the area though also lacking evidence is the high magnetite and uranium levels in the soil today the silent Zone attracts experienced tourists and continues to evoke myths and tales

6:13 partly due to local residents and guides for whom this desolate piece of land is a great opportunity to make money malfunctioning equipment and a failing compass in the middle of the desert can really scare any tourist but what would you say about a place where any object becomes Stone it's hard to believe but in the county of North Yorkshire UK in the mother Shipton's cave there is a well of water in which the petrification of any object takes months not Millennia so what is it a medieval curse or a natural process with a solid evidence base in the 16th century people really believed that the

6:59 which Ursula southill or mother shipon had cast a spell on the well the creepiness of the cave where the well was located was enhanced by its resemblance to a giant skull when viewed from the side these spurious facts were enough to be sure that the place was cursed by the devil scientists have dispelled this myth the magic of the water in the well lies in its mineral origin Water Analysis revealed High concent ations of calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate which promote the deposition of calcarius tough a type of limestone the solidification process is not true petrification it is more like the formation of a stalactite that is

7:46 the molecules of the origin object are not replaced by molecules of the stone or mineral but overlap and although the legend of the cursed well has shattered on the Hard Rock of science tourists continue to come to the country of Yorkshire from all over the world to see with their own eyes a unique natural phenomenon on another continent in Minnesota USA Travelers and researchers are trying to solve the mystery of the waterfall with an eerie name Devil's Kettle the thing is that in the place where the Brule River splits into two streams one stream falls down a rocky ledge and the second one one falls into a mysterious Vortex and disappears

8:33 without a trace this waterfall keeps the scientists Restless various things were thrown into the bubbling stream to trace the place where the underground stream exits GPS trackers pingpong balls and colored dyes were used locals say even TV sets and cars were thrown into the Devil's Kettle to attempt to track where the object objects would surface but the vortex absorbed everything that fell into it and returned nothing Jeff Green hydrologist of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in Rochester Minnesota got the closest to solving the mystery of the Devil's Kettle the scientist measured the volume of water

9:19 before it splits into two streams and then compared it to the volume of water Downstream green concluded that there was virtually no difference which means that the water flowing into the Vortex somehow makes its way back into the river when asked where all the objects thrown into the waterfall went the scientists suggested that they were either broken by the immense pressure of the water or held underwater by the powerful whirlpool in any case green was unable to find the point where the water resurfaces he could only assume that the Devil's Kettle Falls flows out right before where it flows in this means new experiments and tests for researchers in

10:05 the near future but let's move back to another continent to the North in Norway since the 1930s locals and researchers have been puzzling over the nature of the differently shaped luminous objects that appear at different intervals over the hallan valley they have different colors from white to red shades some lights hover over the plane for a long time others pulse like disco lights and others sweep across the sky and leave visible traces behind the most lights are observed during the cold season from 2200 to 0100 10 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. the nature of this phenomenon has fascinated

10:51 scientists so much that the holin AMS automatic measuring station was established near the village in 1998 to make observations equipped with cameras radar and a number of other instruments to record environmental parameters the station records unusual lights around the clock but alas there is still no answer to the main question of where they come from and what they are made of the researchers have many versions some see the origin of the mysterious lights in the deposits of scandium in the holin Valley allegedly it affects the still not fully investigated process of dust combustion involving oxygen hydrogen

11:38 titanium and other elements other scientists believe the lights are formed by a cluster of microscopic kulum crystals in the plasma Dusty plasma is generated through the decay of radon and the release of ionizing radiation some support the hypothesis of holin Lights as a product of of pizo electricity this is a process in which during the compression or stretching of some natural crystals electrical charges arise on the crystal faces many crystal rocks in the Hallin Valley contain quartz grains which in turn create an electrical charge but so far there is no evidence for either Theory which means the Hallin lights continue to be the

12:24 most persistent unidentified atmospheric phenomena in recent history while Romania cannot offer such vivid aerial highlights it is virtually unmatched in the realm of caves especially when it comes to a cave that has been hidden from human eyes for 500,000 years M cave was accidentally discovered in 1986 during construction work considering the abundance of caves in Romania this discovery could well have been an ordinary one if it were not for for the special characteristics of the new object scientists were struck not only by the age of the cave which amounted to 5 million years but also by the

13:10 composition of living creatures along with the chemical composition of the atmosphere in a completely closed ecosystem lived more than 50 species of living creatures 37 of which cannot be found anywhere else there are water scorpions leeches spiders and centipedes here staying millions of years in total darkness many of them have lost coloration and the ability to see but another astonishing thing is that all the wildlife exists perfectly well in a place that is not only dark but also has half as much oxygen as the air we breathe there are also poisonous substances such as methane ammonia and

13:56 hydrogen sulfide and the underground t tunnels contain as much as 116 times more carbon dioxide than it is contained in ordinary air for comparison there is 0.03% of carbon dioxide in normal air and 3.5% in movial cave it is because of the increased concentration of substances that this place is considered very poisonous and dangerous for humans now the cave is carefully protected from outside only 30 scientists are permitted to enter the cave unlike Moval cave the Great Blue Hole is open to anyone who is not afraid to dive into the huge sinkhole near the coast of Biz in the

14:43 Atlantic Ocean if one takes a look at this natural wonder from above it seems that someone dropped a big blue blot on the turquoise surface of the ocean the Blue Hole which is a sink hole in the sea is below sea level so the color of the water in it differs from the Waters of the ocean the point is that 15,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age the world's ocean level was 100 m 328 ft lower than it is now at that time this region consisted of a system of limestone caves that gradually went underwater as sea levels Rose under the water pressure the cave arches collapsed to form these circular sink

15:30 holes until 1971 when the famous French explorer jacqu IES custo dived to the bottom of the Great Blue Hole people ascribed this place to extraterrestrial origins or ancient civilizations that had hidden valuable artifacts at the bottom of the sinkhole custo confirmed the theory of natural origin of the hole and also measured its exact depth 124 4 M 47 ft however it is not recommended to go below 90 M 295 ft even for experienced divers meeting a layer of toxic hydrogen sulfide and then a real Cemetery of dead mollusks and other

16:17 creatures will definitely not add positive emotions another peculiarity of this place is appearing in Google search results for the search query Mariana Trench but you should not trust the search engine in this case because the Mariana Trench is a huge Rift of thousands of kilometers not just a hole in the sea near the coast of Biz now we're heading to pedmont Italy this region is famous not only for its Fine Wines and truffles here between the towns of Grana and casoro a unique Double Tree Grows it consists of two trees a cherry tree towers above the mulberry tree no one knows how the cherry tree managed to take root and

17:03 survive in such a strange position but one popular Theory claims that it is possible for one plant to grow a top another these plants are called epiphytic plants and are commonly found in nature they include orchids some species of pineapples Ferns and cacti but epiphytes are usually small in size and do not live very long the Double Tree of casoro or B Albero de casoro challenges all epiphytes because it is many years old and the cherry tree alone is now no less than 5 m 16 ft in size so where did such a strange tree come from According to one popular Theory a cherry

17:50 seed was dropped onto a mulberry tree by a bird the cherry tree seed then gradually sprouted down the trunk of the Mulberry tree and eventually took root in the soil amazingly enough the two trees have gotten along just fine for many decades they both get enough water sunlight nutrients from the soil and even space without further words let's take one last moment to admire this miracle tree and move on to Kazakhstan to a place dubbed Sleepy Hollow by journalists there are no unique plants or architectural masterpieces in the village of kalachi but once you're there you can lose your memory feel weak

18:36 experience hallucinations and even suddenly fall asleep for a couple of days this doesn't sound well does it when cases of sickness among locals became more frequent the town raised the alarm investigations of the air soil and water in the village began dozens of hypo hypotheses related to food chronic diseases or bad habits of the locals were ruled out and scientists switched their attention to the abandoned uranium mines nearby thus for example increased radon content in the air was detected but experts concluded that radon cannot cause sleeping sickness then some of the researchers focused their attention on

19:24 the underground water it turned out that all the villagers took drinking water from the same Source Byron crepe a professor of epidemiology at nazer bayf University became interested in this version and was convinced that chemicals that had gotten into the groundwater could be to blame the professor believes that there could be a chemical weapons Factory of course a secret one near the village of kalachi the factory workers could have thrown a barrel with chemical waste into one of the inactive uranium mines the barrel corroded leaked and the chemicals seeped into the water unfortunately crepe can't prove or disprove this Theory yet it's too risky to go down into the uranium mine to take

20:09 samples it could collapse at any time however the official version of sleeping sickness is different now because of uranium deposits gases are occasionally released from the bowels of the earth and then the content of oxygen in the air decreases while the content of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide Rises by the way it's been 7 years without a single case of sleeping sickness in the village of kalachi and scientists still hope to solve the mystery of the phenomenon of the Sleepy Village and now we're heading to the namibian desert sure there are national parks with amazing animals and the highest Dunes on the planet but we are

20:56 looking for something else in Nami brand Nature Reserve you can meet magic circles a phenomenon that has been puzzling scientists for more than a 100 years the entire surface of the desert over 2,000 km 1,243 Mi is studded with mysterious grass-like circles scattered like peas rounded areas of bare Earth are fringed with grass while there is no grass in the center of the circle and no Circle ever overlaps another in addition the magic circles behave like living ones they appear and vanish scientists have even managed to establish the life cycle of the circle from 30 to 60 years but

21:45 where did these strange circles in the desert come from today scientists have two versions of the origin of the magic circles one Theory ascribes the phenomenon to a particular species of ter termite samot turmes alocer termites bury themselves in sand and damage plant roots the excess rainwater seeps into the sandy soil before the plants can absorb it the termites need it to maintain a certain body humidity as a result the plants die off in a circle away from where the insects nest and supporters of the second theory argue that the cause of the magic circles is a war between plants for moisture and territory in an aid desert environment plants have

22:31 to self-organize and compete for resources settling in such a way to use most of the available water but both theories could not fully explain the phenomenon of magic circles in numibia if termites are to blame how can the tall grass around the perimeter of the circle be explained if it's all about plant Behavior then why do the circles appear and disappear or why are they not found in other regions of the planet with similar natural conditions a third group of scientists took the two theories and combined them and then everything fell into place the researchers created a model of the namibian circles where termites and plants interacted with each other termites removed vegetation from the

23:18 surface of their dwellings to keep moisture for themselves and the vegetation along the perimeter of the termite nests benefits from the excess moisture and begins to grow vigorously the number of questions has decreased but the debate among scientists about the magic circles still continues by the way can you hear the hum right now you probably don't if you're in a room with good soundproofing but you surely know the feeling when there is nowhere to hide from the unpleasant sound when for example Machinery is working nearby now imagine that a barely audible humming sound haunts you always and everywhere you

24:04 can't hide from it you can't turn it off or not even pause it this is the situation faced by more than a 100 people living in ta New Mexico USA people eventually appealed to the authorities with a request to find the source of the maddening sound and eliminate it Congress gathered a team of scientists to try to solve the problem of the hum the hum was persistent it was not heard by all residents the sound itself was low frequency between 30 and 80 Hertz the hum was noticed not only by the residents of ta but also those living in the surrounding area the hum also caused health problems for some people residents reported dizziness

24:51 insomnia and high blood pressure the researchers conducted a sampling out of 1, 440 residents 2% of the people heard the hum when all external sources were checked the team of scientists focused on determining the Sound Sensitivity of the group of people who heard the hum the study's result surprised everyone the scientists found that a small percentage of locals had developed a special sensitivity to low frequency sounds and heard them all the time while other people were unable to perceive received this sound for comparison the human voice frequencies start at 85 HZ low male voice or 165 Hertz low female

25:38 voice Dr Nick beggit and Patrick Flanigan went further and offered another version of the noises origin in their opinion the locals have developed a unique ability to distinguish noise from the electromagnetic field but no proof of either theory was found in the end a scientific report was published According to which the distinctive hum was attributed to the physiological features of some people and various hearing disorders but this version still does not seem so reliable if you're tired of the T hum it's time to head to the lightning capital where is it in Venezuela over Lake marabo nature puts on a daily light

26:24 show at peak hours up to 28 flashes per minute can be seen here Cascades of lightning strikes in the same place for hours a breathtaking sight for an observer however one should remember to take precautions because the probability of lightning strikes in this area is the highest in the world 250 lightning strikes per square kilometer 0.4 Square mil per year which amounts to about 1.6 million lightning strikes per year in Egypt for comparison lightning occurs once every few years catatumbo lightning is an ozone Factory It is believed that 10% of the total ozone on the planet is

27:11 generated here ozone in turn is a powerful oxidizer and plays an important role in protecting the Earth from ultraviolet rays so why is this place so favored by lightning previously there was a popular theory about high uranium cont content in the ground in this place which attracts lightning discharges then the researchers blamed methane which is actively emitted from local oil fields but in 2010 both theories were defeated because the lightning stopped due to Drought then scientists got a new theory about the connection between lightning and air humidity but today experts tend to think that the reason for the unique natural phenomenon over Lake maraio lies

27:58 in its location the lake is surrounded from all sides by high mountains they trap the heat brought by the trade winds from the Caribbean Sea simultaneously cold air currents from the Andes descend into the Basin from the opposite side as the air masses collide with each other the warmer air is pushed into the upper atmosphere and condenses there this is how storm clouds are formed however thousands of lightning strikes are just a Nature's joke compared to the phenomenon that exists in the Amazon can you imagine a river of boiling water if not you'll have to take our word for it that Peru has just about the only boiling river in the world the

28:46 locals call it shenet Tim pishka which in the tribal language means warmed by The Heat Of The Sun the river lives up to its name its water temperature ranges from 45° c 113° f to almost 100° C 22° F frogs mice and snakes are boiled alive in it and if you dip your hand into the water you can easily get second or even third degree burns in less than half a second it is surprising but in this Century of progress the world Community learned about the existence of this River only in 2011 when geologist

29:32 Andres Russo explored and described it in his works today scientists believe that the chenet temp pishka river is the largest among thermal Rivers indeed it reaches more than 6 km 4 m in length and its depth is up to 6 M 20 ft even more amazing is the fact that such hot water in the river is not a volcanic origin the nearest active volcano is more than 700 km 435 M away in order to understand the processes and mechanisms that cause the river to boil Andress conducted geochemical analyses for 5 years with annual field sampling the studies showed

30:17 that the river's water originally fell as rain most likely somewhere along the way the rainwater seeps down into the ground at depth it is heated with geothermal energy and then returns to the river already hot through fractures and cracks in the Earth surface this means we see only a small part of a huge geothermal system however scientists still have to find out exactly how the water is heated and how it moves we have a few minutes to see another Wonder to do this we're going to Korea to jayu Island strangely it's it's just a paved road to see what could be interesting here but let's take a glass

31:02 bottle and put it on the road look the glass bottle rolls up the slope breaking the laws of physics and logic if we put the car in neutral it will go up the hill confusing even an experienced driver scientists believe that the reason for this is an optical illusion called Gravity Hill because of the terrain Fe a slight incline looks like a rise there is indeed a slope of just 3° the surrounding area of the road though is at elevation because of this it seems to us that the road is going uphill and objects are rolling upwards such gravity hills are not rare in nature but even if

31:50 it is just an optical illusion this place is worth a visit for all fans of natural Mysteries and mys iism okay you may think you've seen everything today and nothing else can surprise you but I have something special for you I promised you this place would leave you with mixed feelings are you ready welcome to Antarctica to Taylor Valley one of the so-called dry valleys there is no snow here and powerful winds blow at speeds of up to 300 kmph 186 .4 mph sweeping away everything in their way and it is in one of the harshest places on the planet that blood

32:36 Falls is located of course there's no blood in it but what is it and why with an average annual temperature of -7° C 1.4 de f is the water in the Falls not freezing first the bloody color of the water was explained byed red algae which was not found in the water but scientists got an answer to the question of why the water in the Falls does not freeze in 2017 a team of researchers used geolocation radar to discover a lake of non-freezing saltwater underneath the falls it became clear that the water in the Falls was not freezing because saltwater freezes at

33:22 lower temperatures than freshwat they also found microbes in the lake which which in the absence of light and oxygen had to start feeding on the sulfates in the subglacial brine converting them into sulfites the sulfites then react with iron dissolved in the water most likely the iron gets into the water from the ground for years scientists have been trying to find particles of iron in the water they've been looking for a mineral a crystal structure and they couldn't find it it was only in the summer of 2020 23 that experts managed to solve the age-old mystery a team of scientists led by Ken Levy from John Hopkins University spotted nanospheres

34:07 that is the tiny non-crystalline objects consisting of iron silicon calcium aluminum and other chemical elements the authors of the study concluded that meltwater turns red when the iron contained in nanosphere binds with oxygen and because of the high cin and the presence of elements such as chlorine magnesium and sodium the watercolor of Blood Falls is enhanced with yellow and orange Hues which makes it look pretty scary it seems that mankind has grasped this mystery but the universe still has many more riddles in its most secluded corners
