Unexplained Mysteries of Earth

   Spoiler: What if we tell you that our 4.543 billion-year-old planet isn't eternal and may celebrate its last birthday sooner or later? Well, the end of the world remains one of the biggest mysteries that are still unexplained.

   The ‘Big Crunch’ theory suggests that the expansion of the universe which has been going on since the Big Bang existed will fall into the force of gravity.

   As a result, everything – planets, universes, stars – will be pulled together into a sole, dense point of mass, to the point where everything is put to an end.

   Don't be afraid though, all of this is at least a billion years away!

   But what's more concerning is that the Big Crunch is not the only theory out there about our impending extinction. Other such theories include ‘the Big Freeze’, ‘the Big Bounce’ and ‘the Big Rip’.

   The truth is nobody knows how the universe will end. Yet!

2. The Living Clouds?

   Ever noticed some dark shape-shifting clouds near the ground during the time of dusk? You won't believe this but as the clouds revolve and morph, they are positively alive. Weird? Well, that's what makes this planet rare.

   Formed by hundreds of starlings gliding in duos, this phenomenon is known as a murmuration. Scientists believe that birds generally sit and rest on this mesmerizing display. But it’s still one of the unexplained mysteries of Earth as to how, exactly, they are alive!

3. The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle

   The oceans are full of water and full of spooky unsolved Earth mysteries that keep plaguing the minds of scientists over the years.

   One such unsolved mystery of the Earth revolves around the north Atlantic ocean where ships and planes mysteriously disappear while crossing The Bermuda Triangle. It covers around 500,000 square 1294994.06 miles between Bermuda, Miami in Florida, and San Juan in Puerto Rico.

   Over the years, the Devil's triangle has seen more than 20 planes and 50 ships vanish and crash with no obvious explanation. From supernatural activities to some logical hypotheses about magnetic compass variation, the Bermuda Triangle is one of the strangest mysteries about planet earth that still remains unsolved.
