The irresistible, mind-boggling fantasy comes to just about everyone, sooner or later: What if everything we knew, our whole universe, was just a speck of dust on someone’s shoulder? In something as vast as the universe, the celestial bodies are as many as the grains of sand on all the seashores. There are bound to be unexplainable phenomena that human mind is not able to grasp. The universe shows us how small we really are, and in a place so big, is it really valid to believe that we are alone? And is there any reason someone might not want us to know? Are there other realms? Do the mythical creatures we were told about exist out there? Are we all gona die? This is a list of what I believe to be some of the best mysteries and conspiracy theories of outer space.
1. Multiverse (Parallel Universes)

The multiverse or meta-universe, metaverse is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes (including our universe) that together comprise everything that physically exists: the entirety of space and time, all forms of matter, energy and momentum, and the physical laws and constants that govern them. The term was coined in 1895 by the American philosopher and psychologist William James. The different universes within the multiverse are sometimes called parallel universes.The structure of the multiverse, the nature of each universe within it and the relationship between the various constituent universes, depend on the specific multiverse hypothesis considered.
Many scientists dismiss this argument as nothing more than speculation. This is one mystery which can only be solved if we were able to travel there, however, with the expansion of the universe, it is unlikely humanity will ever find the answer.
2. Portals Connecting Universes?

The Study begin by focusing on quantum teleportation which it deemed to be successful in relocating the ‘quantum state’ of relatively small objects across spatial distances but did not succeed in replicating the original object which was destroyed in the process. In particular the Study states:
“In q-Teleportation it is the quantum states of the objects that are destroyed and recreated, and not the objects themselves. Therefore, q-Teleportation cannot teleport animate or inanimate matter (or energy) in its physical entirety. However, some experts argue that because an object’s quantum state is its defining characteristic, teleporting its quantum state is completely equivalent to teleporting the object” What this suggests is that the ‘quantum state’ of an object at the place of origin can be relocated to another place and draw upon constituent physical matter to create a new physical object containing the relocated ‘quantum state’ while the old object is destroyed in the process. Basically, the new object at the destination has the ‘quantum state’ or essence of the ‘original object’ but is reconstituted with a new set of atoms, molecules, etc. Q-Teleportation has been successful on smaller objects according to the Study.
This opens gateways for cosmologists to think whether the undefinable black holes and white holes are the “in” and “out” of portals connecting different universes or different locations within our universe?
3. Earth and Mars were One Entity

Water on Mars is an expression for all the water present on the planet Mars. In comparison to Earth, water is much less abundant on Mars in all three states of matter. The colonization of Mars by humans is the focus of speculation and serious study, as the surface conditions and availability of water on Mars make it arguably the most hospitable planet in the solar system other than Earth. Mars has always been thought to harbor life by many conspiracy theorists, saying that NASA is covering it up. Many photos have also called into question civilization on Mars, such as the face on Mars, Pyramids on Mars, and photo of what appears to be an ape like figure sitting on a rock on Mars. While scientists have come out to debunk these photos while others believe mars was a part of earth and life form existed on it when the two separated.
4. Dark Energy

Dark energy is the greatest mystery in the universe today. In physical cosmology, astronomy and celestial mechanics, dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to increase the rate of expansion of the universe. By the law of gravity, large objects, like galaxy clusters, should attract each other, and their gravitational pull should pull in other objects. This however, is not the case, and the fact is most galaxy clusters are moving farther apart. Dark energy is the most popular way to explain recent observations and experiments that the universe appears to be expanding at an accelerating rate. In the standard model of cosmology, dark energy currently accounts for 74% of the total mass-energy of the universe. The exact nature of this dark energy is a matter of speculation. It is known to be very homogeneous, not very dense and is not known to interact through any of the fundamental forces other than gravity.
5. Dark Matter

Albert Einstein’s equation E = MC^2 is perhaps the best known equation of the century. However when applied to space, an anomaly occurs. When we use it to determine how much matter the universe should have, we realize that we have only found four percent of the matter in the universe! Where is the rest of it? In astronomy and cosmology, dark matter is a theoretical form of matter that is undetectable by its emitted radiation, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter. According to present observations of structures larger than galaxies, as well as Big Bang cosmology, dark matter and dark energy could account for the vast majority of the mass in the observable universe.
6.Extraterrestrial Life

The existence of such life is theoretical and all assertions about it remain disputed.
Hypotheses regarding the origin(s) of extraterrestrial life, if it exists, are as follows: one proposes that it may have emerged, independently, from different places in the universe. An alternative hypothesis is panspermia or exogenesis, which holds that life emerges from one location, then spreads between habitable planets. These two hypotheses are not mutually exclusive. Speculated forms of extraterrestrial life range from life with the simplicity of bacteria to sapient or sentient beings which are more advanced than humans.
One of the original Mercury Astronauts and the last American to fly in space alone. On May 15, 1963 he shot into space in a Mercury capsule for a 22 orbit journey around the world. During the final orbit, Major Gordon Cooper told the tracking station at Muchea (near Perth Australia) that he could see a glowing, greenish object ahead of him quickly approaching his capsule. The UFO was real and solid, because it was picked up by Muchea’s tracking radar. Cooper’s sighting was reported by the National Broadcast Company, which was covering the flight step by step; but when Cooper landed, reporters were told that they would not be allowed to question him about the UFO sighting.
On May 11, 1962 NASA pilot Joseph Walker said that one of his tasks was to detect UFOs during his X-15 flights. He had filmed five or six UFOs during his record breaking fifty-mile-high flight in April, 1962. It was the second time he had filmed UFOs in flight. During a lecture at the Second National Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Space Research in Seattle, Washigton he said: “I don’t feel like speculating about them. All I know is what appeared on the film which was developed after the flight.” – Joseph Walker To date none of those films has been released to the public for viewing.

Many of such occasions have been reported but NASA doesn’t bring them infront of people. Pictures of life on Mars have also been dumped.
7. Sounds from Outer Space

“Sound waves are mechanical pressure waves carried though relatively dense materials. On the scale of things our atmosphere qualifies. The void of outer space does not. Sound waves need a medium, they have no medium in space. Sorry, there are no sound waves in space” ?? Well this is the old explanation of why can’t we hear sounds from exploding stars in outer space considering dark matter too less dense for sound waves to travel like vacuum. But when it comes to frequencies, they is possibly always recorded in the space. The waves presented here were detected by Cassini’s radio wave and plasma science instrument (RPWS) on Dec. 8, 2000, at a distance of about 23 million kilometers (14 million miles) from Jupiter. They are likely to have derived from an interaction of the magnetic field that surrounds Jupiter and the solar wind of particles speeding away from the Sun. The oscillations discernible in the graph and in the audio file are from ion-acoustic waves, which result from electrons moving in non-random patterns driven by a flow of energy. In this case, the energy flow probably comes from the heat of Jupiter’s bow shock. The bow shock is similar to a sonic boom from a supersonic jet flying through Earth’s atmosphere. Some authorities also claim another set of frequencies were interpreted as Hitlor’s speech of 1920 many light years away from earth.
8. Ruins on Moon

One of the witnesses, Karl Wolfe, testified that he was in a private area of Langley Air Force Base, where the NSA was bringing in information from the Moon. A fellow airman second-class showed him photographs of ruins on the Moon. There were more conventional-looking buildings and roads as well as dome and mushroom-shaped buildings. You can see an excellent, essentially complete summary of his testimony on video here. You also see striking examples of obvious structures that have been airbrushed out:
9. Super Earth
Our star, the sun, is just one of trillions in the universe. When you look at the fact that our star has eight planets, and do the math, it tells you that it is possible for there to be eight times as many planets in the universe than stars; an astounding figure. Is it not possible that just one of those planets might have life on it? It is a fact that, since the year 2000, hundreds of extra solar planets have been discovered orbiting distant stars. Some of these have found to be earth- like, such as the planet Gliese 581d, a planet believed to have liquid water on its surface. Because of its mass, between 7 and 14 times that of Earth, the planet is classified as a super-Earth. In late April 2009, new observations by the original discovery team concluded that the planet is within the habitable zone where liquid water and, therefore, life could exist while another theory says Gliese 581 d is probably too massive to be made only of rocky material, but it is speculated that it is an icy planet that is migrating closer to a dying star so it would be of no benefit to humans.
10. Simulacrum in Eagle Nebula M16 and SSC2005-23A Nebula
It is a magnified section of the star forming region at the top of the left pillar in an image taken by Hubble Telescope, and has not been retouched in any way, other than to rotate the picture 90 degrees counterclockwise. When this photo was shown on CNN on Thursday November 2 1995, the phone lines lit up with hundreds of people claiming to see a face in the star cloud. Scientist have not been able to explain this phenomena. Can you see it?
