Is it true that horses turn to stone?
In tanggou Township, Xiuyan Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province, there is a place called Blocking Horse Wall. The ruins of the ancient city wall of the horse wall are now faintly discernible. In a river not far from the horse-blocking wall, there is an abrupt boulder standing at the water's edge, which was later called "buried horse stone".

The horse retaining wall and the buried stone are named after a beautiful story circulating in this area.

It is said that this horse retaining wall was built by the Qing emperor Nurhachi, who once circled horses here. At that time, the Qing Taizu Nurhachi stepped down from his horse, and the black-eyed red hare traveled thousands of miles a day and 800 miles at night. That is a BMW that walks like a fly. It won Nurhachi's favor with its master's repeated feats. But once, Nurhachi won a great victory in this area. When chasing an enemy commander, he can raise his hand to kill the enemy. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the black-eyed red rabbit accidentally lost its front hoof. Although Nurhachi didn't fall off his horse at that time, he lost the opportunity to behead the enemy. In this regard, Nurhachi was extremely angry, thinking that the black-eyed red rabbit was old, so he circled it with ordinary horses into this horse-blocking wall.

The imperial horse was demoted, and his ambition was not paid. Looking at the dust in the distance, aiming at a thousand miles. It looks up at the sky and cries, as if calling its owner to use it to go to the battlefield again; It fell on the ground and dug the soil, as if regretting losing its hoof and wanting to make new contributions. He missed his master, his eyes were like blood, and he didn't eat or drink for seven days and seven nights. On the eighth day, the black-eyed red rabbit screamed, jumped out of the horse-blocking wall, flew down, and hit the boulder by the river, only to hear an earth-shattering noise. The boulder splits, separates and recombines, burying the imperial horse in it. The locals were surprised, so they got the name "Ma Shi".

Strangely, in 1986, there was a local stonemason who wanted to build a house with stones. This boulder was split in half by him, and a miracle appeared: on the section of the boulder he chopped, complete horse-shaped stone lines appeared clearly on both sides, which were comparable in size to real horses, with red eyes, which coincided with the legendary BMW. The horse's posture is lifelike, with its front legs half kneeling and its hind legs straight, as if it were apologizing humbly, or lying in front of the battle line, waiting for an attack, with its head held high and its tail high and imposing. The stonemason saw the stone lines in the giant rock and remembered the legendary BMW, so he didn't want to break this stone again.

Now, the split buried horse stone is half upright on the edge of the cliff and half lying on the river. Many foreign guests came to Xiuyan to see this horse-shaped burial stone.

In this case, who can solve the secret? Why is there such a strange coincidence in life?

During the period of 1979, the German version of American Reader's Digest held an essay contest, requiring that the entries must describe real and interesting personal experiences. After the competition, among more than 7,000 contestants, Munich pilot Walter Cerna stood out.

In his essays, Cerna described how he recently piloted Cessna 42 1, how he plunged into tyrrhenian sea between Sassy and Sicily, and how he spent his dangerous journey on a rubber boat. The editors of Reader's Digest carefully checked the German and Italian reports and thought that Cerna's account was completely true. The plane did crash into tyrrhenian sea from 1000 feet that day.

The award date is set at 65438+February 6th. Who knows that just this morning, Schwartz, editor-in-chief of the German edition of the magazine, received a strange letter. The author claimed that he was Walter Cerna, who lived in Austria, and pointed out that the winning paper was pure fiction, at least taking his own experience as the author's own experience in an attempt to defraud the prize. In the letter, Cerna also stated that he had flown in Europe and the Mediterranean for four years in Cessna 42 1. Although it was temporarily landed at Kaliali Airport in Sasisi due to engine failure, it never fell into the sea.

After reading the letter, Schwartz had a string of big question marks in his heart. When Cerna, who came to receive the prize, arrived, Schwartz showed him the letter immediately. Cerna looked at the letter and burst out laughing at once. He said that he learned from the flight records that a man with his surname had flown a plane, but he didn't expect to have the same name. However, when he saw the plane mentioned in the letter forced to land on Sasi Island, he couldn't help but shout in surprise.

The same plane, the same area, the same engine failure, the two pilots have the same names. Was it just an accident?

During World War I, British Private Smith was aiming his gun at a German sniper 50 meters away. Unexpectedly, the German soldiers reacted quickly and fired first. The bullet missed Smith and went into Smith's barrel. This rifle is still in the collection of meston Museum in Britain.

1664 65438+On February 5th, a ship sank in the Mina Strait. There were 8 1 passengers on board, and one survivor was named Hughie Williams. 1785 65438+On February 5, a ship carrying 25 passengers was killed, and the name of one survivor was Hughie Williams; 1860, 18 On February 5, 2008, a seagoing ship sank with 25 crew members, one of whom was named Hughie Williams.

1982 On July 4th, a baby named lavr bertram Williams IV was born at the New Hanover Memorial Hospital in Wilming, North Carolina, USA. The baby's father was born on July 4th, 1950, his grandfather was born on July 4th, 1920, and his great-grandfather was born on July 4th, 1876, the centenary of American independence. A mathematician calculated this amazing coincidence and came to the conclusion that the phenomenon that four generations of the same family were born on the same day is only one example among about11700 million people.

In real life, such wonderful coincidences can be described as endless. Zhang Fang, a pregnant woman from Shanji Township, Tongshan County, Zhejiang Province, and Zhang Fang, a pregnant woman from Daxu Township, accompanied by their husbands, gave birth in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Third People's Hospital of Tongshan County on the same day and were arranged by doctors to live in the same delivery room. To avoid misunderstanding, doctors called Zhang Fang in Shanji Township "Big Zhang Fang" and Zhang Fang in Daxu Township "Little Zhang Fang". On the same day, two pregnant women successfully gave birth to a baby girl. When Big Zhang Fang asked her husband Zhu Wei to share the joy, only Zhang Fang's husband responded at the same time, which made Big Zhang Fang look embarrassed. It turns out that Zhang Fang's husband is also named Zhu Wei. After making it clear, the two couples found it very interesting, and the four continued their genealogy. Who knows, in the chat, I learned that two "Zhu Wei" fathers are also named Zhu Xiaodong. It is surprising that the two families and three generations are so coincidental.

In a certain place in northern Jiangsu, there has also been a miracle of three generations of women sharing the same name. These three generations of "daughter-in-law" came from different provinces and counties, and after many twists and turns, they came together and became a family. This coincidence phenomenon in real life has also aroused great interest of scientists, who use probability theory to explain this rare phenomenon. But some coincidences are mysterious, and their occurrence is extremely unpredictable, but they cannot be explained clearly by probability theory. The age difference between American presidents Lincoln and Kennedy is only 100 years old.

1860, Lincoln, who was committed to the black civil rights movement, served as the president of the United States. 100 years later, that is, 1960, Kennedy entered the White House. When Lincoln lived in the White House, his 1 1 year-old son Willie died of respiratory diseases. When Kennedy lived in the White House, his son Baldry, who was born only 39 hours ago, died of respiratory diseases. Later, both of them were assassinated while in office, and both were shot in the same part of the back of the head. Their assassins, John Wilkes Booth and Lucky Rabbit Lee Harvey Oswald, were born in the afternoon of 1839, and the other was born in 1939. Their ages are only 100 years old. Both men were assassinated on Friday. Later, both murderers were killed without trial, and it is still impossible to find out who killed them.

Even more surprising is that President Kennedy's secretary is Lincoln. He tried to persuade Kennedy not to go to Dallas, but Kennedy, who didn't listen, finally died. Similarly, President Lincoln's secretary was also named Kennedy. He also tried to dissuade Lincoln from going to the Ford Theatre, but he was finally rejected. The two presidents were killed in different places, but Kennedy's murderer was arrested in the same theater. When the two presidents were killed, their wives happened to be beside them; When the two men were assassinated, bullets came from behind and both hit the head; The assassin Booth fled to a warehouse after shooting Lincoln in the theater, and the assassin Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the lucky rabbit, also fled to the theater after shooting Kennedy in the warehouse. After being killed, the vice presidents who succeeded the presidency were all called Johnson. Andrew johnson, Lincoln's deputy, was born in 1808, while lyndon johnson, Kennedy's deputy, was born in 1908, which is just 100.

Such a wonderful coincidence made scientists doubt the theory of probability. Thus, a new argument came into being. Carl jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, has collected many coincidental examples in his life and is a pioneer in this research field.

1952, Jung said in a paper: "The occurrence of coincidence is much more than predicted by probability theory. Many coincidences are the result of some unknown supernatural force acting on the cosmic system. " He also coined a new word-synchronicity to refer to this seemingly unrelated, actually related and unpredictable coincidence phenomenon.

Jung illustrated his point with examples: 19 14, in a photo studio in Strasbourg, France, a German woman took a roll of film for her young son. In the process of developing this film in the photo studio, the first world war broke out, which shocked the whole world. The smoke and war of the war swallowed up her beautiful home. In the drift from place to place, the film drifted to some place on the earth.

Two years later, in Frankfurt, 100 miles away, the German woman bought film to take pictures of her new daughter. The photo was finally developed. To the woman's dismay, her daughter's image coincides with her son's.

Since the Greek philosophers first put forward causality in the 5th century BC, people almost agreed that the beginning of one thing must be caused by another. 1739, the Scottish philosopher Hume pointed out the fallacy of the universally accepted theory of causality in an article entitled "The Theory of Human Nature". Hume believes that nothing can happen for a reason. If you think that everything must happen for a reason, it is equivalent to thinking that every man must have a wife, so every man must get married. Hume pointed out that the causal relationship that most people believe is just a habitual thinking. In fact, some things in life have nothing to do with cause and effect.

After Hume's counterintuitive view was put forward, scientists, while studying and observing various coincidences, could not help asking themselves: When there is really no causal relationship between what happened first as a cause and what happened later as a result in the traditional concept, it is just a coincidence, what is the relationship between this cause and this result? Why is there a coincidence? How did the coincidence happen? What is the reason for this? Is it regular?

As early as 1935, some famous physicists put forward some speculations different from probability theory. They believe that once two particles smaller than atoms are connected, they can feel each other even if they are separated by thousands of years and light years. They call this phenomenon "EPR paradox".

After decades of investigation and research on this phenomenon, physicist David Bohm proposed that particles can interact like human beings, and everything in the universe is interrelated in the form of a "law of implication". Particles can't really be divided, but are related to each other in a way that ordinary concepts can't explain in real life. Bohm said: "Different people may have the same view and the same view at the same time because of some factors." Bohm's theory initiated the first study of human extrasensory and perceptual functions.

Of course, there is still a long way to go from theory to conclusion, and a huge leap is needed. However, with the passage of time and the continuous development of science, it will be just around the corner for people to uncover the coincidence phenomenon.
