The Bloop
The Mystery:
Tired of having its mind blown by the guys in the archeology department, in 1997 modern science's mind pulled itself up off the mat and triumphantly blew itself.
In that year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recorded a strange sound in the ocean. Strange and LOUD. So loud that it was picked up by two separate microphones 3,000 fucking miles apart. The sound, dubbed "The Bloop," doesn't sound like anything at normal speed. However, the NOAA did us the favor of speeding up the recording to 16 times the normal speed, causing it to sound like a turd dropping into the toilet. Bloop! Except, you know, awesomely loud.
Scientists determined that its wave pattern indicates it was made by an animal, and not a giant electromagnet sucking a plane out of the sky, as the creators of Lost were no doubt hoping.
Why Can't They Solve It?
There is no animal big enough or loud enough to make that kind of noise, not by a long shot. Not a blue whale, not a howler monkey, not a startled teenage girl.
I have been reading and this is what the supposed bloop sounded like

And the thing that made this noise is bigger than a Blue Whale
mmmmmmmhhhhh.......
here is a CNN article way back from 2002 about The Bloop

I think this movie is going to develop a huge following after the fact.
I knew I should not have taken the responses I read on another message board at face value. Most of the posters in the thread mentioned the movie was a complete waste of time and one of the worst movies made

The Ishango Bone – Is This The World’s Oldest Mathematical Artefact?
Most people think that the study of mathematics has its origins in Ancient Egypt and Babylonia, but this view was dramatically challenged in the 1950’s with the discovery of a small animal bone, inscribed with markings that appear to represent numbers.
This artefact was discovered in the small African fishing village of Ishango, on the border of Zaire and Uganda by the Belgian geologist Jean de Heinzelin.
The Ishango Bone now lies at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels, and has been dated to around 20,000 BC.
It is thought to be the oldest mathematical artefact ever discovered.
The Bone
At first glance the bone appears to be a simple writing tool. It is 10 cm long, and at one end is embedded with a piece of quartz thought to be for engraving and tattooing. Closer examination reveals a series of notches running up the side of the bone, in three columns.
The notches are clustered together as shown below:
The middle column begins with 3 notches, and then doubles to 6 notches. The process is repeated for the number 4, which doubles to 8 notches, and then reversed for the number 10, which is halved to 5 notches.
This suggests that the layout of numbers is not purely random and instead suggests some understanding of the principle of multiplication and division by 2.
The bone may therefore have been used as a counting tool for simple mathematical procedures.
This view is further supported by looking at the number of notches on either side of the central column. The numbers on both the left and right column are all odd numbers (9, 11, 13, 17, 19 and 21).
Furthermore, the numbers on the left column are all prime numbers, suggesting some mathematical knowledge.
The numbers on each side column add up to 60, with the numbers in the central column adding up to 48.
Both of these numbers are multiples of 12, again suggesting an understanding of multiplication and division.

The Ishango Bone is remarkable in having a number of notches carved in three rows, markings that appear to be deliberate. They are arranged in 16 groups, each group having a different number of notches, from 3 to 19.
Because of the complexity of the groupings it is generally agreed that the markings are not random. But what then was their purpose?
Various details have led some researches to suggest that the Ishango Bone is some kind of primitive mathematical table.
For example, along one edge the number of notches in each group is a prime number (prime numbers are divisible only by themselves and one; e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 19, etc.)
Coincidence? Perhaps. But then, there are three separate rows of notches, and the total number of notches in each row is a multiple of twelve.
Another coincidence? Maybe. But along one row, the notches in adjacent groups appear to be related by a factor of two: 3 notches in one group and 6 in the next, then 4 followed by 8, then 10 and 5.
A crude multiplication table? Or another coincidence?

I don't think he was referring to the Ishango Bone Kaya
from his description, it sounds more like he was referring to the spheroids that were found during a South Africa mining operation. The strata in which they were found indicated that they were billions of years old.

It's funny how I can come on this site looking for some porn and leave questioning my existence on the very planet i inhabited for 24 years.
And I really believe that giants were here. Only explination for megalithic structures

Yep. Altho there doesn't have to be a civilization on our planet back then in order for it to be found here. Consider millions of years from now someone happens upon Mars and finds parts of any of the landers. They could assume that there had been an advanced civilization on the planet from the looks and materials of the parts. But ... they would be only partially right.

I wouldn't say it's the only explanation. Advanced technology could have done the deed as well, and the operators of that tech could have been average sized beings.

All are interesting, but to be honest, I'm not impressed or amazed by any of it.
6. A dead language. Ok, so what?
5. Probably the most interesing one. Ancient gear system with no discernable purpose. What the Swiss feel threatened because someone invented gears before they mastered watches?
4. Is it really surprising that someone found a need for plumbing in ancient times?
3. Im supposed to feel inadequate because an ancient civilization had bigger balls than me? Maybe they felt like a game of marbles with a twist.
2. Ancient batteries: Maybe if they had stuck around for a while, they would have invented the light bulb to go with it.
Or are we supposed to be suprised because they didn't figure out the light bulb first? If civilization rose and fell a thousand times, people would still discover electricity before they knew what to do with it.
1. You ever farted in the bathtub? Same principle. Plus, you can't determine the size of the source based on the sound alone.
Probably a huge gas bubble from the crack in the ocean floor.
Some of the side stories in this thread were of real interest. But I gotta be honest: these 6 don't move me.

6. Not really a dead language, it's more-like a cypher. I doubt it was being used by a large group of people. Probably was for a select few in some sort of secret society.(esoterics/alchemy/religious) The so what is that it hasn't been deciphered yet. A better example of a dead language can be found in India. The writings found on their older temples haven't been translated and this was a language used by the whole society. It is contemporary with the time of Sumer and Egypt, but no "Rosetta Stone" for it has been found as of yet.
5. There is a discernable purpose to the device. It's an astronomical/astrological clock. A clockwork computer of sorts.
4. The pipes, shouldn't be there at that time because the level of development wasn't that sophisticated, at least so far as we know.
3. Several theories abound about the large spheres. Some say they were used as markers to guide trade routes, others say the various sizes denote either representations of planets/planetary systems or maybe stars in constellations.
2. Come to think of it there are heiroglyphs that could represent light bulbs. Many of the underground tombs and temple structures show no signs of soot on the ceilings as there should be in order to illuminate the pitch black areas they would have needed illumination to work in. Sooo, maybe they did invent the bulb to go with that battery.
1. So you're calling the sound a fart? Animal or planet? You can estimate the size of a possible living sound source using examples existing in the environment. Your prediction could be wrong, but it isn't inpossible to calculate.

I saw #2 on the History Channel not too long ago. They were trying to figure out how the pryamids had light. They had no other explanation than to conclude that they had electricity inside that powered some sort of light source.
GREAT THREAD
This ish should be added as the 7th INSANE discovery. I never get tired of seeing it, every time he is offline the Greys eyes are closed

My Theory
The earth used to be much smaller and thus the gravitational pull much weaker, so thus you have giant beings and lighter stones. So you'd have largely disproportional force because the being is many times stronger and the objects are that much lighter. For example any healthy man here can lift 100lbs on the moon he could just based off gravity lift a 600lb object just as easily. BUT it doesn't stop there because if you grew up on the moon you'd be much larger and much stronger than you are now so lifting an object in excess of 2000lbs would be rare but not unheard of. Several people could lift a modern house right off it's foundation.
The problem with advanced tech theory is that there is no logic in using that kind of machinery which is metallic to build something in stone. That would be like only using anti-gravity to go sight seeing or something.
that part does have a few holes in it
but that stuff on a growing earth is interesting
but i've heard the opposite
that high gravity would make things bigger
and i've also heard that size and strength could be attributed to the amount and type of radiation from the sun that made it thru our magnetic field at a particular time
That's interesting, how could having more gravity make things bigger?? Seems to defy physics. Either way that would make the rocks and stones that many more times heavier to lift as well right?
The thing about the theory I propose is that it makes the seemingly impossible today possible in the past through a combination of lighter objects and stronger people and animals. Also it explains why this is found everywhere around the world pretty logically imo
i think it had something to do with organisms in higher gravities having to be bigger just to survive
not sayin its true but we know theres a lot of things out there that defy the laws of physics as we know it, black holes spittin out water, naked singularities and a few galaxies out there so
ur theory may work but i thought the gravity of the planet was determined more by whats under the earths mantle and not over it
So the earth may have been smaller back then but the contents of the core wouldnt be effected so much by the whatevers added to the surface

I don't know about this if you got a link plz drop...Re: Theory
I don't think he is saying the increase in mass was on the surface, it just expanded the surface like a balloon. The animation is misleading this video explains it better, though the dude tries to make it about God the balloon visual is what I am talking about:

as far as the naked singularity stuff here some light stuff to get started wit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_singularity
http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Naked_singularity
and for something alittle deeper
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=naked-singularities
there way more out there on the topic just gotta know where to look
and the black hole spittin out water was posted here
i think that was smoke
or maybe it was somebody else....
u can do a search but i'll check an see if i can find the bookmark
Ok now an expansion i can get wit
u can even account for the extra water that appeared afterwards
but theres one problem
whats causin the expansion?
is it new mass? If so from where?
If its more energy then same question as the mass and even still u need some extra mass anyway so

Thanks for the links (no colin)
It is less of a theory and more of an observation as far as the nature of earth is concern if you ask me. For example, we don't know WHY gravity works or how but we can observe it's effects and talk intelligently on that. To explain the questions you ask would require more theory and diggin (literally)
My theory on that though is that the earth is not a closed isolated system rather it is along with all of the planets on this level of understanding part of a larger system, which the sun's energy when coinciding with certaind orbits depending on it's stage of star life 'activate' certain planets. Making it possible for ecosystems and life. So in another few billion years saturn may be in the same 'life zone" as the Earth is now. Also several prehistoric planets may have already been consumed by the sun.
(I am actually paralleling a lot of this into my blog which I can share with you when I finish it may make some youtube vids as well, if I ever get along to it)
