1. Magnetism
I love playing with magnets. We all do, right?
You can learn all you like about the physics involved... but dropping a strong magnet down a copper pipe still gives me a 'what the fuck' childish thrill.

running a marathon.
sure you should be in good shape
but if you can run a half marathon - there's no reason you shouldn't be able to run a full - it's all mental

3. Fossils/prehistoric artifacts
I'm an archaeologist (retired)... A lot of study, theory and science to get qualified.
Every time I uncovered even a discarded bit of say knapped Neolithic flint even, I would get a shudder of childish wonder that someone made that several thousand years ago, and I'm the first person to see it since they tossed it aside.
I go fossil collecting in a Triassic/Jurassic boundary bonebed nearby. Finds include fish and reptile teeth, vertebrae, ribs, and coprolites. The odds of them having been preserved, me being born, and being the first person ever to see them is millions to 1.
They are from animals many millions of years ago, that lived before dinosaurs even existed.
Blows my mind. Mental, totally mental.

Bigfoot/Sasquatch doesn't physically exist... but does exist as a cultural entity representing something in the woods originating from certain northern Native American cultures. Much like the Wendigo for the Alonquin peoples. A cultural entity that served the purpose of keeping cannibalism taboo. Bigfoot may have served to stop children wandering off in to the forest alone. In Europe, our wilderness is home to witches and faerie folk. They serve the same purpose, don't wander off kids. |

Why has there never been a dead Bigfoot found? Not one bone even? Do they have their own crematorium in the woods?

Distances in space. Think about how far the moon is from earth, then the earth to the sun, then the sun to Pluto. Then to Alpha Centauri. Then to other stars in the Milky Way. Then to the Andromeda galaxy. And so on. Where does it end? Does it end?

Orcas learned the old "shark tonic immobility" trick long before we did, and I'm guessing we learned it from watching them do it. Basically everything Orcas do is amazing.

It's the farthest the unaided human eye can see, in the right conditions. When you see it, you are seeing nearly 3 million years in to the past, today. |

We have telescopes that can see absolutely incredible distances, but A) it’s probably just a drop in the bucket compared to what’s beyond, and B) we still haven’t fully explored the depths of the ocean and inside the earth. |

I think they have been found but the government is hiding it from us. Kind of like in the latest installment of the Predator franchise - where in 'The Predator' - scientists were secretly studying a captured Predator.

Consciousness. Where does it originate from? How do we have it? Do any other animals have it?

Kind of like in the latest installment of the Predator franchise - where in 'The Predator' - scientists were secretly studying a captured Predator. The government found them all? Some hunter or hiker stumbles across a dead Bigfoot. You going to call the "government" or take it out and make your millions and millions? Imagine the piles of cash someone would get for irrefutable evidence of a Bigfoot. Fuck the government.

No. Kinfolk and alike in West Virginia and such - they've been paid off by the government to keep everything hush.

With the right equipment, you can pick up the Cosmic Background Radiation. The sound of the Big Bang. Still out there.
