Here are three more mysteries that, like the others I've mentioned in the first part of this article, might never be empirically proven. Why's that? Because most of humanity is unprepared due to many reasons. The only way to get some clues is to speculate, Read more.
So after putting my thoughts about other mysteries such as birth, death, and reincarnation in the first part of this essay Join me in this bizarre adventure.
Time Travel / Parallel Universes
Quantum Mechanics theories that defy Earth Science! Are they true?
Classical Physics studies natural phenomena, such as their movements, causes, and effects. On the other hand, Quantum Mechanics is dedicated to the analysis of systems with small dimensions, such as molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles.
Given that many theories have been confirmed through empirical evidence, scientists hope to - someday - verify the existence of time travel and alternate realities or parallel universes.

Time Travel
First off, it's unclear what kind of "transportation" would be adopted to take humans back to the past or forward to the future: physical or non-physical?
I believe it would be impossible to take people in their solid condition (physical) to the past or to the future. The consequences of a physical presence in a different timeline would modify the present drastically, unless, I repeat, there are many timelines.
A famous obstacle that makes physical time travel to the past impossible is the so-called "grandfather paradox" when the traveler kills the grandfather. In this case, "the effect ceases to exist because the cause is extinguished by it".
Another example that discredits time to travel to the past
During the pandemic, you were assigned to go back to the past so to eliminate COVID-19's patient zero. If you succeed the virus won't spread worldwide in the future. So you do it. Mission accomplished. However, an unexpected situation pops up. You are back to the present but realize COVID never existed. In other words, you couldn't prevent the coronavirus to spread because it never happened before (remember, you prevented it from spreading when you traveled to the past). How can you explain this? In my view, the only explanation that could allow a past modification is the existence of various timelines.
On the other hand, what if time travel to the past (or future) is taken by the individual's mind? Here are my speculations on that hypothesis.
2 types of "mind travel":
Astral Projection - according to many statements, while you are sleeping your mind or consciousness leaves your body and travels through space and time. Some people do it consciously. Here comes the catch: what if you time travel during your night sleep? Of course, it is hard to prove because the different versions will be according to the individual's philosophical principles or mental conditions.
Remote Viewing - it is a technique that allows the "remote viewer" to spot distant places or objects without leaving the place. So they can travel through their minds not only to locations on Earth. Thus, remote view is a technique that can mind travel to other planets.
Time travel to the future
Going to the future in the physical body could also - like a trip to the past - modify the present hence creating other timelines or alternate realities. Hence, the future is untouchable.
2 conditionals future could not be modified:
If the future is deterministic - in this situation the future is already written so it can't be modified. In other words, since your destiny is already determined, there is no other way to change your upcoming events.
If the future is flexible - here we work with so-called "free will". It means you can control your future if you respect the famous "Third Law of Newton" (cause and effect) and act accordingly. In other words, your destiny only will be reversible if you go on the wrong path. But who can guarantee that your will won't change if circumstances require you to do so?
Traveling to the past or the future is therefore an unproven task because it can be done. So far, at least. How about traveling to other realities?

Parallel Universes
According to one of the most famous theories of Quantum Mechanics, "an identical particle can be in two places at the same time". It's the principle to support another theory: the existence of multiple universes (multiverses).
In other words, given that there are many universes, we can deduce there are many Earths as well. If so, there are many selves too. Complicated alright, but so they say. Furthermore, different timelines or different histories.
It sounds like a fairy tale, but this theory remains over the years. Whether it's going to be proven or not, is another story. As a habit, I've got my own theories to support the existence of many worlds like ours.
4 situations that could strengthen the theory of parallel universes:
Dreams - How does our consciousness function in order to build stories (sometimes complete ones) inside our minds? One of the speculations I have about dreams (upcoming article here) is that when we dream we may visit a parallel universe. Dreams are so complex that I refuse to take any interpretation to explain them. Actually, dreams are an unexplained enigma so far.
Fairy Tales - like dreams, it is hard to explain how a writer's inspiration functions when they create fantastic stories about other worlds (e.g. Harry Potter, Gulliver's Travels, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Dune, and other children's fairy tales). Some details are hard to believe they are only an individual's creation. Do they travel to other universes to write about it later?
"Déjá-vu" - A phenomenon that happens when we have the impression of recognizing a certain event before it happens just like we thought. My theory is that our mind, perhaps during sleeping time, visits our future in a parallel universe. Most of the time we don't recall it afterward. When we do, it turns into a "déjá-vu. Or it may be only some coincidence or even an intuition?
Afterlife - Who knows after we die we go straight to another world like ours and life continues? If "we can die several times" until a moment that there are no more lives to proceed, like in the video games (here comes another theory: "the universe is a simulation"). In other words, after the last life, we become a spirit (that's why only a few spirits communicate with their loved ones). In short, we are like fractals!

Thought-Forms
No one has any doubts about how powerful our thoughts are. But few are aware that power can become an entity. How's so?
Well given that thoughts are waves emitted by the brain, (telepathy corroborates this principle), why can't they form living forms as well? The process is unknown, but there are proofs they exist. What proofs?
Let's start from the very beginning. Any invention we see anywhere we go is a result of a thought. Hence they are a real thought-form. For example, the chair you sit on is an outcome of someone's thought. Right? It is an imagination which had crystallized into reality.
Elementals: living beings created by a thought
The power of thought can materialize emotions into ethereal forms that afterwards might wander around their creator. Those forms are the so-called "personal monsters" and are also known as "miasmas" by many doctrines.
In other words, every emotional issue we have generates living entities, according to "experts" who can detect them. These thought-forms then inhabit the individual's so-called "psychosphere". These creatures also known as elementals, would be negative or positive, depending on how they were formed, i.e., good or bad feelings.
To know whether elementals were true or false there is a reliable source to be consulted.
For those who doubt the real existence of the elementals, I recommend digging deep into its literature given that it's an unknown subject for many people.
The best source is a book called The Magus of Strovolos, written by a Professor from The University of Maine, Kyriacos C. Markides who introduces us to the mysterious world of Daskalos, a healer and a "specialist of the netherworld" who lived in Strovolos, on the island of Cyprus. Most of his healing were successful because he hit the point, and dissolved the elementals who were harming their "creators".
The Temple of Apollo at Delphi
Fighting your monsters (or the elementals you've created) reminds me of a famous Greek aphorism inscribed at the entrance to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi: "Know thyself and thou shalt know the universe and God"
One last speculation
Could local folklore characters be from those elementals generated by the human imagination or even from their emotional problems? Couldn't they also be the result of people's superstitions that persist for eras...
...and so they become urban legends?

Conclusion
Actually, there is no conclusion at all when we write about unsolved mysteries. There are various reasons humanity is not ready to unveil them. We know very well why.
Furthermore, our brains are not "designed" to assimilate certain stuff we've never witnessed before. On this behalf, there's an interesting story about the original people from Brazil's pre-colonial time who lived on the coast. They couldn't identify the caravels anchored at the seashore. The given explanation for their lack of perception was that their brains couldn't figure out new shapes (the caravels').
Hence, maybe this is a reasonable explanation for our limited 3D perception. This phenomenon could be something like what the quantum realm claims, i.e., "particles can be in multiple places at the same time until observed, at which point they snap into a definitive state. So only the observer can influence the behavior of these particles.".
This theory rattled the shaky foundation of the concept of an objective reality...
Either way, I do not give up and shall continue my seek. Unsolved mysteries may have clues we only find if our battle to pursue answers goes on. Otherwise, life gets boring.
Nonetheless, one thing is certain: whether or not I discover the key to solving these mysteries (at last few of them), I want this phrase written on my tombstone: "I searched, I sought and I never got tired. If I didn't find the answers, it's because I wasn't ready yet!".
