In science, the tendency is to think that more discoveries = more knowledge. However, when it comes to the history of mankind, this is not always the case.

We’ve compiled five of the most baffling mysteries ever found, for which answers are still to be found.

The Shroud of Turin

The Vatican claims that this is not an authentic document, however this does not stop people from pondering the wonderful mystery of it.

The imprint on the material seems to show an image of a bearded adult male.

There are signs of blood throughout, proving that the man came to a violent end. It is understandable that people believe this to be the burial cloth for Jesus Christ, as the weave in the fabric indicates that it came from the same era, and the blood pattern points to crucifixion as the cause of death.

There is some debate as to the era of the fragment, though, as some scientists have dated the shroud to be from the 13th or 14th century. Even if it is not Jesus’ burial cloth, it remains ‘shrouded’ in mystery.

It is undeniable that our eyes are a very special part of our bodies, and unique to every individual. It has been said that our eyes are ‘windows to the soul,’ and that they can provide others with information about how we’re feeling.

However, you may not realize exactly how much they’re giving away! Here are seven great facts about our sight factories.

They Are Political.

You can tell a person’s political orientation by looking at their eyes!

People that are more left leaning tend to follow ‘eye cues’ more readily than right leaning people.

This means that you’ll know someone is liberal if they follow your gaze when you look away from them.

They Can Tell The Truth…Or Lie.

If someone seems untrustworthy, look into their eyes.

If they look up and to your left, then it is likely that they are fibbing.

If they look the other way, they are probably recalling information. Continue reading →

 Love! Words come to halt when we start talking about it. It is something so strong and unexplainable. It knows nothing but to love. The Language of love is our feelings.

What actually is happening inside us? Have you wondered what might it be?

When we are in love with someone, a spurious chemical reaction takes place in our body. This uncontrolled chemical reaction is responsible for the way we feel our love. This chemical reaction is carried out by the hormones and neurotransmitters that are released while we are in Love. Yes!  They play an amazing and striking role in modulating the wave of love we feel.

(1) The Stage of Lust

The first stage is the stage of lust. It is common for men to get aroused first because a mere sight of a woman is enough to trigger testosterone production in a man and make him romantically attracted to her.

This forces him to get around her so often. This is the thing that makes him get madly in love with her. Continue reading →

Our latest technology could actually be a potential threat to our physical health with the amount of radiation that we put ourselves through daily.

An interesting study that was published in PLoS One with the title “EEG Changes Due to Experimentally Induced 3G Mobile Phone Radiation” states that those who own 3rd generation cell phone, as well as 4th generation devices, risk worldwide brain disruption just by having a 15 minute phone call that exposes your brain to toxic radiation.

The study consisted of investigating whether a 15 minute placement of a 3G dialing mobile phone causes direct changes in EEG activity when in comparison of a sham phone.

With the addition of investigating whether placement of the phone on the heart or ear would have any sort of different results.

The study also conducted thirty-one healthy females to participate in the experiment. The rest of the study states this: Continue reading →

Sometimes curiosity gets the better of us. More often than not, though, our curiosity leads us to fascinating places we’ve never been that will change us for the better.

Thankfully, there are plenty of books out there that will satisfy our natural inquisitiveness. At times, we come across works that change our lives in profound ways. For example, we are brought up to see one reality (this world), one way of thinking to discover things (science), and one spirituality (our cultural religions). At some point, we are bound to come across alternative interpretations like multiverse theory, the philosophy of science, and different spirituality.

Below we’ve chosen five groundbreaking books for you that can help you on your journey toward a different knowledge than perhaps the one with which you were brought up. We hope they inspire you too!

The Secret of the Soul, by William Buhlman

The jury is out as to what the nature of reality actually is. It is an ancient question that has been asked by philosophers for all of written history. Perhaps you have been on this journey to look deeper than what you can see superficially and come across groundbreaking concepts such as the law of attraction, psychic abilities or out of body experiences.

If you have, then you certainly are aware of how our society at large feels about such things. It can be difficult to reach our own potential when it seems like everywhere there are skeptics. Continue reading →
