These are the strangest and creepiest coincidences ever recorded in history



The Strangest And Creepiest Coincidence Ever Recorded Facts


Have you heard about the most strangest and the creepiest coincidence ever recorded? If no, then continue reading because this is going to send chills down your spine.

THE COINCIDENCE

On 5th December 1664, a ship sank in the Menai Strait off the coast of Wales and all the 81 passengers died except one man named Hugh Williams. Again on the 5th of December, 1785 a ship sank in Menai Strait sank along with 60 passengers and the only man who survived was Hugh Williams. Not only this, again on the same date of the year 1820, a ship sank in Menai Strait along with 25 abroad but only one survived, Hugh Williams.

A STRANGE STORY

It is actually strange that within a period of 200 years, three ships sink in the same place and the only person to survive is with the name Hugh Williams. However, modern researchers have their own points in this case and provide another explanation for this.

ANALYSIS

We have a small explanation for the coincidence.
1. Coast of Wales in the United Kingdom is a dangerous place for ships and several shipwrecks have been taking place here over the years.
2. Talking about the same date theory, December 5 and the period around that is a prime time for windy, stormy and a dangerous reason which automatically increases the risk of deaths in case of shipwreck and it is not that just the above-mentioned shipwrecks are the ones which took place there but other hundreds of shipwrecks too took place here.
3. Talking about the name, Hugh Williams is a kind of name is that very much common there as the Wales people find it a very pleasant one. And plus, there are no credible records that prove the point that the sole survivors in all the cases were named “Hugh Williams”.

HOAX OR MYTH

However, the mentioned points are an analysis of the story on the basis of simple facts. It is still not clear whether it is truly a strange coincidence or a hoax created. But nevertheless, it is an amazing story to tell and discuss. And to all the Hugh Williams out there, you may want to give a try for the sake of the correct information as chances are you may survive.

The Milky Way is MOVING through the universe at 2.1 MILLION kilometers per hour

Nothing is stationary. As you are reading this, the Earth revolves around its own axis; it orbits the sun, the sun moves through space at a staggering 792,000 kilometers per hour around the galactic center, and our universe moves at a mind-bending 2.1 million kilometers per hour.
You may think that as you are reading this, you are in a stationary position and not moving. However, everything within the universe moves, from our planet –which rotates on its axis at a speed of nearly 1700 kilometers per hour— to the solar system and even the galaxy.
The planets in the solar system and their respective moons also move through space. In fact, in order to keep us in a stable orbit, Earth needs to move around 30 kilometers per second. The inner planets in our system, Mercury and Venus move faster while Mars and the outer planets of our solar system soar through space at a slower pace.
But think bigger. Even though the Sun is at the center of our solar system, it is also moving at an incredible speed through space. If we think even bigger, we will realize that even our Milky Way galaxy is in motion, and all remaining things that make up the universe such as stars, planets, gas clouds, black holes and even dark matter move within the universe.
Just as Earth orbits the Sun, our Sun orbits the galactic center –which from our vantage point is located around 25,00 light years— in an elliptic orbit. It completes a revolution every 225 million years approximately. This is called a Galactic year.


It is estimated that since the Sun and Earth formed, 20 galactic years have passed, meaning that we completed 20 successful revolutions around the galactic center. However, if we compare recorded human history to our movement across the universe, we would realize we barely moved in our galactic pathway.
But what about Speed? In order to complete a successful revolution around the galactic center, the Sun has to move at a staggering 792,000 kilometers per hour. The Earth –and all other objects in our solar system— follow the sun at this fanatic speed.
In comparison, light travels at a fascinating speed of 1.09 BILLION kilometers per hour.
However, not only do planets, moons, and in this case, our sun move through space, the galaxy too moves through space, affected by the gravitation of other massive objects in the universe.
As it turns out, our Galaxy is currently being catapulted –by other galaxies and clusters in the vicinity— towards a certain point in the universe.
But hold on a minute, compared to WHAT are we actually measuring the motion through the universe? Well, when discussing our speed around the galaxy, scientists are able to measure it relative to the CENTER of the Milky Way.

However, the Milky way isn’t stationary, and it also moves. So what can you compare its motion to?
For a long time, astronomers were not able to answer this. We can compare our galaxy’s speed with another galaxy, but all other galaxies move through the universe just as the Milky way.
In order to answer this enigma, scientists point towards the Big Bang and CBR—Cosmic Background Radiation.
As noted by NASA, The Big Bang theory predicts that the early universe was a very hot place and that as it expands, the gas within it cools. Thus the universe should be filled with radiation that is literally the remnant heat left over from the Big Bang, called the “cosmic microwave background,” or CMB. The CMB radiation was emitted 13.7 billion years ago.
Technically speaking, the CBR offers experts with a frame of reference for the universe, relative to which we can calculate our motion.
In order to get an idea of how fast we move through the universe, experts need to subtract the motion of the Earth around the Sun and the Sun around the center of the Milky Way from the motion measured compared to the CBR.
This means that the Milky Galaxy is speeding through space at an astonishing 2.1 million kilometers per hour, in the direction of the constellations of Leo and Virgo; precisely where the so-called Great Attractor is located.
