Study Notes

Mysteries of Nature

  • Nature is a treasure trove of unexplained phenomena, challenging scientific understanding.
  • The Bermuda Triangle: A triangular area in the Atlantic Ocean, where ships and planes mysteriously disappear. A common theory involves unpredictable weather patterns, currents, or hidden debris.

Bird Migration

  • Birds migrate from the north to the warmer south every year.
  • Birds use celestial navigation to return to the same areas.
  • These cues include the sun, moon, stars, and other environmental cues.
  • Birds can use the visual layout of the landscape for navigation.

Whale Songs

  • Humpback whales sing complex underwater melodies lasting about 15 minutes.
  • The melodies include groans, moans, roars, and chirps, with both males and females singing.
  • The purpose of these songs remains uncertain.

Animal Perception of Disasters

  • Some animals show unusual behavior before natural disasters like earthquakes or cyclones.
  • Potential indicators include restlessness, agitation, unusual calls, or changes in behavior.
  • Some scientists hypothesize a "sixth sense" or an ability to detect subtle changes in the atmosphere, like electrical fluctuations, prior to disasters.
