Zhuangzi was a particularly legendary Chinese philosopher more than 2,000 years ago, and he had a sentence that made everyone feel particularly strongly: "My life also has an end, and knowledge has no end." With no end, there is no end, and it is gone! This means that our lives are finite, but our knowledge is infinite, and if we pursue infinite knowledge with a finite life, I am afraid that we will be sad for a lifetime. It is true that human knowledge of the world is always very limited.
Even today, when we are highly technologically advanced, there are still many unexplained problems in the universe and on Earth. Science is only a finite simulation of the real, not a complete reality, and many things are outside the finite truth of science, which is often incomprehensible. For example, there was such a bizarre event that has not been explained to this day: in 1991, the ghost train took 104 people missing, and the scientists got on the train and disappeared, where did they go?
The name Gogol, who is probably familiar to everyone, was a famous Russian writer of the 19th century who died in 1852. As a great celebrity, Gogol was still cared for by the people of his time after his death. In 1931, because of the need to build a juvenile prison, it was necessary to occupy the cemetery where Gogol was located, so everyone was ready to relocate his grave. Who knew that the grave was dug up, but found that his head was missing.
Word was rife about the matter at the time, most bizarrely, mainly in the "ghost train" proposed by several Ukrainian media in 1991. It turned out that Gogol's head had been secretly taken by his sleeping officer, Noyaski. He wanted to sell Gogol's head to a Russian lawyer — some Westerners who had a hobby of collecting celebrity body parts. He asked an Italian friend to help him deliver it.
Since everyone was staring at Gogol's head at the time, the Italian was not in a position to come out publicly to deliver it. He was an officer who, through his friends, got a few special train tickets, which had only 3 cars and looked more like a private imitation. But he couldn't manage so much, and such a car would allow him to unknowingly bring things to the Russian lawyer. Along with him, there was his brother.
After his brother followed him to the car, he thought it was normal at first. But just as they were about to enter the tunnel, the people in the carriage were abnormal. They stopped the originally lively chat activities, their expressions frozen, some angry, some surprised, some unwilling. His brother felt creepy and looked outside the car to find a thick fog trailing the train, accentuating the eerie horror of the atmosphere.
Driven by instinct, he jumped off the train through the window and fled the terrible place. Just as frightened as he was, there was a girl who was a little older than him. The 104 passengers on the train, including his brother, all disappeared with the train. The two of them reported the case, but it did not attract much attention, because the Second World War broke out soon after, and everyone was not in the mood to pay attention to such a "headless case".
But the disappearance of 104 people caused a sensation at the time, and after the Soviets solved World War II, they began to gather railway experts, mathematicians, physicists and others to study the incident. They found that such strange disappearances of trains were not limited to this one, but several in Moscow and in Crimea, and apparently not an accident.
Their discussion led to the hypothesis that because the rail network in Eurasia was so complex that trains came and went as if they were a series of conductors that cut the Earth's magnetic lines, they produced some effect on the Earth's magnetic field in the process, resulting in time being affected in some areas. So there is a great possibility that these trains have traveled through time and space, running to the past or the future.
But after all, such a statement is too mysterious, time travel is still only a thing that exists in theory and fantasy, and it is difficult for people to believe that it really happened around people. How does earth's magnetic field affect time? How do trains affect the Earth's magnetic field? These questions are a headache for serious scientists. Some scientists are even desperate to board the ghost train themselves to take a look.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity really came. On September 25, 1991, the Ghost Train appeared in Poltava, Ukraine. A scientist obsessed with ghost trains was nearby, and without hesitation, he jumped on top of the train and disappeared into view with the rumble of the train. Since then, the scientist has never been found, and he has disappeared into nothingness along with the ghost train.
What exactly is a ghost train? Where did they go? Is time travel achievable? Or is it just a carjacking? Or is it all a lie? None of this is known.
