Oddities by Joshua Brown May 1, 2023 68 Oddities is a term used to describe items or phenomena that are considered strange, unusual, or otherwise not normal. It can refer to physical objects, biological organisms, scientific discoveries and theories, mathematical equations and formulas, abstract concepts such as philosophy and art. The concept of oddity has been around since ancient times when people would observe the natural world with curiosity looking for things they could not explain. This often led to superstitions where mysterious occurrences were attributed to supernatural forces instead of rational explanations. In modern times however oddities are more likely associated with science than folklore due in part by advancements made in fields like biology and physics which have allowed us greater understanding into how many laws of nature work. For example Newton’s law of gravity explains why it is easier for an object on Earth fall down rather than up while genetic engineering allows scientists to create new species from existing ones through selective breeding techniques.
