30 People Describe Things They Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of That there's fragments of history behind the legend of Arthur.

A long time ago the only iron they had access to in Britain was bog iron - literally clumps of mud pulled from bogs. They would use them to make iron weapons but the quality of the metal was poor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog_iron

"pull the sword from the stone and you will become king of Britain" - this means if you learn to get iron from iron ore (stone) you will get weapons good enough to make your people conquerors.

"a magic sword from a lake"

Heard of quenching? at some stage someone was forging swords with their new iron and accidentally dropped it in some water (or stuck it in because he was tired of waiting for it to cool down) and to his surprise found the new sword seemed "magically" stronger than non-quenched swords.

Remember; millennia ago history was largely (completely, sometimes) passed down orally from generation to generation and changed in the process.

The legend of Arthur that we have now is in fact the relicts of actual historical events so old there's nothing left of them except the legend...

Not all legends are true; but some may be fragments of oral history.

Excellent comment. I believe that there are at least eight different types of multiverse (multiple universes). There are new universes that you get to be going through black holes. There is the quantum multiverse where the decisions we make now cause the universe to split. There is the braneworld multiverse of 11 dimensional space in which 4-D universes float. There is the multiverse of "eternal inflation". There may be a topological multiverse where the universe folds back on itself, and there is the far universe beyond the visible boundary in which the laws of physics are different.

Once they reach a certain size they explode spewing the matter throughout the universe again. I don't believe the universe beyond what is observable is a different universe either. It's still this one, just further away. As for different dimensions/vibratory frequencies/5D space type theories... maybe. I doubt it, but hey it's possible I suppose.

Now look at a Tyrannosaurus. We used to think of almost all "dinasaurs" as "lizard-like," in fact the name means "terrible lizard." Now we know that many different animals that we think of as "dinosaurs" are more bird-like than lizard-like. Rex had wings. Not big wings to fly with, but wings that were perhaps somthing like that of an ostrich, cassowary, or emu, although likely much smaller in proportion to their body. Ostriches use their wings in mating rituals, to make themselves appear larger, and to signal and communicate, perhaps T-Rex used theirs for some similar purpose.

Who knows, maybe that other person would have done worse, and you were stronger than anyone else would be in your situation. Don'd be harsh to yourself, love yourself. You deserve to love you, for imperfect but good human as you are :)

30 People Describe Things They Strongly Suspect But Have No Proof Of Elf on the Shelf, the elf doll that supposedly watches children and reports back to Santa that parents love so much, is actually a subversive program by government or maybe corporate interests to desensitize children to being under constant surveillance so they won’t question it as adults. No, I don’t believe there are any cameras or mics in the actual doll. The point of it is to implant the idea into children’s head when they are young that someone is always watching them.

For those of you saying this is no different than Santa who “sees you when you’re sleeping and knows when you’re awake” or a god who watches you from on night, I agree with you, but the Elf on the Shelf takes it to the next level. The Elf is a visible, tangible representation of surveillance where as an old bearded guy magically watching you from the North Pole or up in the clouds is more of an abstract concept.

Airport stores are among the fastest and highest in investment return, balanced by the fact that they are by far the most difficult to set up and run. You need authorizations taking long time, liaise with the airport for anything from store design to installation procedures, you need airport-certified personnel; once you are open, you have no closing days, strict operational standards (for cleanliness, security, fire safety etc) all your goods have to pass through safety checks and customs. The advantages, though, are amazing: airports provide the highest traffic, practically a bored and "captive" audience made only of people with average or above average means. Markups are higher than in street stores and often there is little to no competition and minimal possibility to compare prices.

I’m Romanian and I’m not sure if it’s the culture or the place I grew up in, but whenever you lose something and are panicking to find it, there’s a simple way to always find it. Just go get a mug, and visualize a smaller version of the object you’re looking for (I do it so it’s kind of spinning like a video game). After seeing it in the can, flip over the can on the table and leave the object covered by the flipped mug on the Table. Stop looking for the object, you will find it in your hands in less than 2 days, no matter what. If it’s something like your keys or wallet or socks or headphones, you will 100% come across them maybe even minutes after doing it, so long as you just avoid thinking of it.
I’m not superstitious at all and I understand that this can be explained just by the way we interact with the tings around us i our day to day lives, but after growing up with this and it never faltering even on big things, I simply feel better off pleading ignorance and understanding that some things are just going to be how they are and putting time into thinking bout them is a waste of my time. Also my mom is a luck magnet and a telepath and a wizard but that’s a story for another day.

For a brief window of time following the second world war, the United States could have taken over the world.

Every other industrialized economy in the world was in ruins or exhausted from fighting. We were the only nation in the world that knew how to construct the atomic bomb.

If that advantage had been pressed and the bomb used without restraint the US might have been able to overwhelm the Soviet Union before it developed nuclear capabilities of its own.

The result would have been a dystopian nightmare worse than anything the Nazis could have imagined. A single nuclear-weapon state enforcing a global hegemony through the threat of nuclear war.

Ghosts/spirits/entities/phantoms/presences... Whatever you want to call it/them. They say seeing is believing, and in this case, it's absolutely true. Very few things, if anything at all compares to the feeling of *knowing* something "else" exists and having not only no proof, but this whole new level of fear that comes with life itself, that very few people can relate to you about.
Seeing things that "shouldn't" be is frightening enough, but imagine being alone in that, no-one else but a dog as witness. You can talk to him, but he won't reply. You can't convince yourself you were just tired, sick, crazy. "It" was real, whatever "it" was, and there's no-one to explain how or why.

Here's a simple, non-"threatening" conspiracy theory: Scientists downgraded Pluto so they won't have to admit they were wrong. Here's the timeline: (1) Pluto is recognized as a planet. (2) Scientists spend decades denying the existence of any tenth planet in the solar system. (3) Not one, but two objects about the same size as Pluto are discovered, but their discovery goes unannounced while they are confirmed. (4) Scientists announce that they've decided Pluto isn't a planet. (5) The existences of Eris and Haumea are confirmed and publicly, but since they're not "planets," they don't get much attention. This happened; I just can't ascribe motives. In fairness, Pluto is smaller than they once thought it was. They once thought it was larger than the moon.

The current, new definition of a planet is absurd. A much simpler notion of when is a planet big enough to be a planet would be that it is large enough that its own gravity forces it into a round (spheroid) shape (this is a simplified explanation of "hydrostatic equilibrium.")
