If you have ever forgotten a name but still remembered a face, a smell, or the feeling of a moment, you have already brushed up against the mystery that the holographic brain theory tries to explain.

11 Egyptian Objects Archaeologists Have Never Been Able to Classify
Sameen David
Most people assume ancient Egypt is a solved case: pyramids mapped, gods cataloged, hieroglyphs translated down to the last squiggle.

Maria Faith Saligumba
The idea of preserving the human body at ultra-low temperatures in the hope of a future reawakening may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but cryonics—a term derived from the Greek words for “cold” and “science”—aims to make this a reality.

Sameen David
Scroll far enough into diving forums and you’ll find something archaeologists don’t like to admit: nobody has verified most of what’s down there.

Rhode Island Harbor Seals Pack In

21 Relics Curators Keep Off Display Because They Cannot Be Explained
You’d think a museum basement is just overflow parking for chipped pottery and duplicate spearheads. That’s the polite version curators tell tour groups. The real version is messier: some objects get locked away not because they’re worthless, but because nobody can safely explain what they are, how old they really are, or what admitting the … Read more
