A mystery that even the supernatural and conspiracy theories have failed to attack for a long time

Is it one hundred years long? It may not be short for a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation. For one hundred years, mankind has gone from machine to electronic, from feudal to republican. But a hundred years is also very short, and cannot even solve a world-famous mystery.

What is the Tungus? It is the name of Russia's largest export of self-propelled anti-aircraft missile vehicles, it is also the name of an American hunting energy drink, and it is the most intriguing mystery region in Siberia for a hundred years.

And that mystery has been going on for over a hundred years now. Scientists, novelists, paranormal enthusiasts, and conspiracy theorists have entered one after another, but it has not been taken down by any party so far. Today for a long time recommended the documentary "Tungus Explosion", on German TV 2 (ZDF), this documentary summarizes the more classic explanation of the Tungus Explosion, there are also very precious first-field scientific images, but also objective enough.

First of all, it is important to understand what really happened in the Tungus region in 1908. Simply put, there was an unprecedented explosion in the wilderness at 7:14 a.m. on June 30 of that year. But after the explosion, the events only became stranger and stranger. An hour later, the explosion started a fire that burned a forest the size of the city of London. Only a few hours later, Europe woke up from sleep to find seismographs recording strange vibrations.

What was even more amazing was that for the next three days, the whole of Europe was lit up like daylight at night and it was said that you could read newspapers outdoors. The ethnic group living there is called the Evenki people in Russia, which is the Ewenki people. This ethnic group can be divided into three branches according to the region: Solon, Tungus, and Yakutia, and we will not discuss whether Tungus is the name of the place or the ethnic group at the earliest, but in any case, there is a Tungus river in the Tungus region, and Tungus people live around it.

The Tungus people still pass down the memories of their elders who witnessed the Big Bang. Local elders say that their grandparents heard a growing sound that morning and the whole earth trembled, followed by an explosion so violent that, despite being 70 kilometers away, the shock wave toppled people sitting in front of their windows to the ground.

Thus, the earliest explanation came from the Tungus. They believe that a shaman asked the god of thunder to destroy a rival tribe, the result attracted the wrath of the god of thunder, who sent iron birds of justice to fight the Tungus, the explosion was triggered by spherical lightning, and to this day, the explosion occurred in the place is still their forbidden place.

Although with a very strong religious color, the explanation of spherical lightning is not metaphysical, except that the Tungus explosion is estimated to release energy more than 1000 times the Hiroshima atomic bomb, I am afraid that spherical lightning is not so divine power.

The Drupa crash is one of the more representatives of the many UFO theories. According to legend, in the mountain range of Ba'aqara'ula, there is a group of small Drupa people, they are the descendants of the ancient aliens forced to land on Earth, in 1908, the home planet finally remembered them, so they sent a rescue ship, the result is unfortunate again, the ship crashed and caused an explosion.

It seems that the Earth is really the nemesis of the aliens, the first forced landing at least left alive, and the second time to come even crashed, I want to send them an old Chinese saying: eat a lesson and grow wisdom.

Another more twisted story, the documentary has hard-core archaeologists believe that the year there is a comet of millions of tons of close contact with the Earth, some aliens hid on Earth to protect mankind, driving the ship to take off to crash the comet, save the world. Although it sounds like some Marvel Universe big hero flavor, at least it can still be self-explanatory, the story is not too bad.

What I appreciate most is the following: 1883 Krakatoa eruption, volcanic ash shrouded the world, the scene can be seen in the famous painting "The Scream", the ash reflected sunlight was observed by the Cygnus aliens, mistaken for a signal sent by humans, so a strong laser shot to the Tungus. As for what the aliens want to express in this enigmatic operation? Do not ask, ask it in the deciphering. In addition to the imagination of paranormal enthusiasts pie in the sky, about the Tungus explosion must must must not be missing conspiracy theorists and their mouths Tesla experiment.

The famous genius scientist inventor Mr. Tesla once accepted investment to build a large piece of equipment - Waldenkliff Tower. An accident occurred while he was experimenting with wireless transmission of electricity, and fortunately, the bombing was in a sparsely populated area of Tungus. Of course th,ere are other claims, such as the Tungus explosion was Tesla's experiment with deadlight weapons, and Tungus was the ideal location he specifically chose to avoid hurting innocent people. All in all, the conspiracy theorists are not united within a good front has been enough to explain the problem.

Tesla, with his genius, has already left his colorful mark on human history and does not need to use mysterious events to package and advocate.

To put it another way, a person who created a major experimental accident without ever admitting and publicly expressing his apologies to the victims or hurting innocent people to show his genius invention, is he still the great genius who is humble and kind? Of course, conspiracy theorists are not satisfied with just taking Tesla to task. In fact, since the advent of the atomic bomb, conspiracy theorists have had a spring in their step, as there is finally a man-made object capable of releasing the same amount of energy as the Tungus Big Bang, and there is room for human involvement.

The first magical story is set in the early 20th century when the Russian czar and the Prussian emperor began some secret military cooperation, and they came up with the earliest atomic bomb, but there was an accident while conducting the test, and Tungus became a victim, and the technology of the atomic bomb went back to its original starting point. In the 1970s, a major power lost its nuclear bomb, and actually went into the time tunnel by mistake, and traveled to 1908 which led to the legendary Tungus explosion.

The above are the folk speculations and explanations about the Tungus Explosion mentioned in the documentary, and you can judge for yourself how reliable they are. Conspiracy theories may not be able to be completely overturned in the present or even the future, after all, there is no basis for the conclusion that is not falsifiable. But some of the scientific community's findings do refute certain explanations. The first is about the nuclear explosion speculation, from 1928, the Soviet mineralogist Kulik first entered the explosion site to examine, nearly a hundred years, there are many scientists have carpet searched the area, and so far no abnormal radioactive residues found.

The mainstream theory of the scientific community can be divided into two schools of thought, that is, the "extraterrestrial" and "earth school". Let's start with the "Earth school", a label I invented, that refers to a class of views that the Tungus explosion is a natural phenomenon of the Earth. The many theories include natural gas explosions, violent volcanic eruptions, and a combination of the two. The evidence is mainly objects found in the Tungus area, such as rocks that should be located deep at the bottom but appear on the surface, charred trees appearing far outside the center of the explosion, etc.

This type of hypothesis suggests that the energy of the explosion came from inside the Earth and that the explosion from the inside out would have brought some material to places where it did not belong. As for the "extraterrestrial" is easy to understand, and is nothing more than a meteorite, comet impact explanation. 1928, the earliest scientific research Kulik on the meteorite caused the big bang, and he convinced the Soviet authorities to fund research on the grounds that meteorites may contain a large number of rare metal minerals.

The history of the "extraterrestrials" is the oldest, but also the most convoluted. Countless scientists have entered the Tungus region in search of meteorites, but after all these years, not to mention meteorites, even craters do not have many clues, except for the idea that certain lakes with inverted conical bottoms could be craters.

Of course, there are also some avant-garde views that some meteorites just do not leave traces, neither leaving behind the remains nor the formation of craters. Could the strange phenomena of the Tungus explosion be the result of a meteorite exploding before impacting the ground?

After computer simulations, and limited conditions of simulation experiments, found that the meteorite and the ground at an angle, and the explosion occurred in the air, shock waves and heat propagation to the ground and the Tungus explosion is very similar to the situation, the explosion at the center of the trees did not fall, while the shape of the trees around the collapse of the butterfly-shaped.

The computer model was even able to simulate the sky-rushing fire, which can explain the bright night 3 days after the big bang. But the simulation is ultimately a simulation, and still, lack of critical evidence to support it, can not say I speculate that a suspect's crime, without any evidence to bring it to justice, right, after all, the meteorite can confess.

In short, if the mysterious events on Earth have not been concluded as a strategic high ground in the battle of human exploration, the Tungus explosion should be the most valuable one in the eyes of the various teams. As long as the main scientific forces have not attacked, then mysticism, conspiracy theories, and supernaturalism will certainly be eyeing, but the most frightening or that "there are many things that can not be explained by science" (advance their way so that they have no way out).
