Not all websites are .com, even though it's the most common. For SEO purposes you don't need to know technical detail, you need to know more what gets you results and what not.

A website which is not a .com, but a .org or a .edu is still a website. If no other website links to that, it's still a low quality website. I can go register a .org and put adult content on the page. The site can get listed as 'bad neighborhood' if I use black hat strategies on it and get caught.

So the point is, getting a link from a .org or .edu is not a better or more quality in some way or another. Authority sites are sites that a link from them is great, but not all .org websites are authority sites even though they may look like. Not all .edu sites are authority sites just the same.

In general Google treats all domains the same no such preferences are given to domains with .org and .info and .net are also not given less preference. All domains are treated equal.

From an SEO point of view you should not worry about finding these org or edu links because they are not the magic pill, it's not the case. 

Since Google did mention that links from authority websites are better, most assumed that org or edu websites; which are most common with government sites and the like; have something special.

Authority is not the org or edu, but the site itself, the quality of the site, how many others link to it and other specific details related to quality and linking of the site.

One such example of an authortity site that happens to be .org is www.wikipedia.org

Trying to find them is the painful road. Like I said you can go register a .org right now and then register a .com at the same time. If both domains are brand new, you still have not yet added content to them, then why the dot org should be known as better than the com.
