Review on ‘Life In The Reef’by research expert, Joe thompson

by enigma explorer, ZuZka gaZdik

by sarah marshall

by katy Vinson

High flying mysteries solved!

The Sasquatch is amongst us.

Is Nessy real? It is possible.

Ms. Zuzka Gazdik reflects on the recent deaths of blackbirds that mysteriously fell from the sky late last year. What happened to these birds and why did somany of them fall from the sky?

Sarah Marshall loves the Sasquatch just as much as the next, but despite all the recent claims that Sasquatch is real, Sarah is still a skeptic.

Conditions are harsh in darkness. With no sunlight or many of the essential nutrients to aide survival, Joe Thompson reflects on the lifestyle of critters under the sea.

Conditions are harsh in darkness. The Loch Ness monsteror "Nessy" would know a thing or two about that. ExplorerKaty Vinson takes us on a journey into the heart of Nessy.

Most of us are familiar

with “Old Faithful” in

Yellowstone National

Park. This famous geyser erupts

several times a day. It spouts

a column of water heated by

volcanic rock deep within the

Earth’s crust.

A hydrothermal vent is

a geyser on the seafloor. It

continuously spews super-

hot, mineral-rich water that helps

support a diverse community of organisms.

Although most of the deep sea is sparsely

populated, vent sites teem with a fascinating

array of life. Tubeworms and huge clams are

the most distinctive inhabitants of Pacific

Ocean vent sites, while eyeless shrimp are

found only at vents in the Atlantic Ocean.

The first hydrothermal vent was discovered

in 1977. They are known to exist in

the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Most are found at an average

depth of about 2,100 meters

(7,000 ft) in areas of

seafloor spreading along

the Mid-Ocean Ridge

system- the and underwater

mountain chain that snakes its

way around the globe.

How do hydrothermal vents form? In

bursts out into the

ocean, its temperature

may be as high as 400°C

(750°F). Yet this water does

Geologists are intrigued by how

rapidly vent chimneys grow - up

to 9 meters (30 ft) in 18 months.

Washington has been monitoring

the growth of «Godzilla,» a vent

chimney in the Pacific Ocean off

the coast of Oregon. It reached

the height of a 15-story building

before it toppled. It is now actively

rebuilding.

s u p e r n a t u r a la Q & a with nature activist, david suzuki.

The belief in the supernatural requires a different mystical?

Type of logic, which is totally at odds with science. Before the days of science, this was the only sort of logic available.

There are many people who claim to have “proof”?

Religious experiences, ghost sightings, demon possession, psychic visions, and all sorts of other crazy things.

I have to say that I can’t prove that these things don’t?

But anyone who has ever tried to prove them to a scientific standard has failed, and until science proves the existence of these supernatural occurrences, I for one won’t believe in them.

Some might say that I have given the impression in some of my other articles?

has failed, and until science proves the existence of these supernatural occurrences, I for one won’t believe in them.

A flock of birds mysteriously dissapear

from the skies on Oct 28th, 2010.

When a tree dies in the forest, fungus grow out of the dead wood, then humans eat?

Fungus, die, and become food for the trees. The only reason why reincarnation doesn’t make scientific sense to people, is they have the notion of an individual soul, which is another unproven supernatural belief the not.

So when I say I have no soul, these people may assume that I am the devil himself?

None of it makes much sense to me, if it isn’t proven facts that comes from observable scientific experimentation. Sometimes in science, you can make a reasonable assumption, but what is reasonable even not?

I invite you to offer any scientific proof In a comment?

That supernatural occurrences have ever happened, or join below, and write an article with photos, documentation, etc, that proves that the supernatural is in fact natural.

First, let me say that I haven’t researched this article at all?

But I don’t need to, because the answer to the question in the title is found in the meaning of the word supernatural.

Supernatural implies something that isn’t found in nature? And is either impossible, or

unbelievable. The very meaning of the word supernatural proves that scientifically, it is impossible for anything supernatural to ever happen.

The belief in the supernatural requires a different mystical type of logic? Totally at odds with science. Before

the days of science.

There are many people who claim and all to have “proof” of religious experiences?

Ghost sightings, demon possession, psychic visions, and all sorts of other crazy things.

California is a huge state and an immensely

varied one. It is nearly 800 miles long and

it contains everything from barren deserts

to lush tropical jungles. It as is full of oddities and

enigmas, ranging from almost-active volcanoes to

places where commercially-minded proprietors

assure travelers that something has gone wrong

with good old reliable gravity itself. California

is always good for a story, and the rest of the

nation is always willing to indulge in a big laugh

at its expense. But there is one story that nobody

is laughing at any more. And it may turn into

the biggest thing to come out of that fabulous

state since they found something yellow at John

Sutter's mill.

On August 27, 1958, a tractor drive named Gerald

Crew drove out to his job, which at that time was

working with the crew pushing a new lumber-

access road into the uninhabited and only loosely

surveyed territory near the borders of Humboldt

and Del Norte counties, in north-west California.

Jerry Crew is a native of Salyer Township in

Humboldt County. He is an active member of the

Baptist Church, a teetotaler, and I have talked to

enough people up there to state flatly that his

reputation for honesty, level-headedness and just

plain common sense is an excellent one.

The area where this road was being built

is, surprisingly enough, an almost trackless

wilderness. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on

the west and Oregon on the north: Highway 299

runs along its southern border, and it stretches

some 130 miles inland to highway 99. It is crossed

by one winding blacktop road and some lesser

roads, plus an assortment of logging trails and

"jeep-roads" which are used very rarely. While

California is thought of as a heavily populated

state, this particular section — encompassing

some 100,000 square miles — has no known

inhabitants at all. Almost anything could be living

there, and nobody would be the wiser.
