Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar–terrestrial anomalies and mysteries are intriguing. We take as a prime example the ‘strange’ behaviour of the solar EUV, which carries out the following roles:
- Emits a huge excess above the ~6000K black body;
- Is the manifestation of the solar corona mystery;
- Follows the mysterious solar 11 years cycle;
- Does not corelate 100% with our dynamic atmosphere, as widely alleged;
- Also shows a planetary dependency.
Each case contradicts known physics. Digging into a mystery, like that of the solar emissions in the EUV, makes it more of a riddle, thus suggesting an exotic solution. The aforementioned five outstanding properties of the solar atmosphere have come up since the late 1930s. In this Special Issue, we are aiming to address more mysterious observations, which might be the manifestation from the dark universe.
Also, the question to address is about some known society-relevant mysteries in medicine, seismology, and the atmosphere, etc. Are some of them of a common origin? Reviewing archival data from diverse observations might help to unravel and decipher their origin. Ultimately, we are aiming to search for correlations between diverse cross-disciplinary mysteries. A common behaviour could point at a follow-up investigation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
