"To know is to know that you know nothing," said Socrates. Thanks to science we know a lot, but there are still more things we do not know.

Below we bring you some of the mysteries of science, to which researchers still do not have an answer.

How was the Universe formed?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

Some things we know about the universe: it is infinite, it is full of black holes. And one of those things we do not know: how it started. Some scholars wonder if he even had a beginning or was always there…

What happens inside a black hole?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

Black holes are places in space where gravity is so strong that even light can not escape, so no one has ever been able to say what happens inside a black hole.

The fate of the universe

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

Just as scientists did not understand how the universe began, they did not understand how it would end. They know that life on earth cannot last forever because life on earth is supported by the sun, which, like all stars, will eventually die. And they know the universe will end, but how this happens will depend on many unknowns (including the shape of the universe, its density, and the amount of darkness within it).

Black matter

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

Scientists believe that most of the universe is made up of "black matter", which emits no light or energy. While scientists can tell you what "dark matter" is not, they can not tell you what it really is, or what it is made of. "We have a complete inventory of the universe," Sean Carroll, a cosmologist at the California Institute of Technology, told Smithsonian Magazine. And until scientists solve it, the fate of the universe will forever remain unknown.

How did life start?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

 

We are talking about life as a whole, not just human life. New findings are always emerging about how the basic building blocks of life could be generated in primordial conditions or come to Earth from outer space.

The Pyramids of Egypt

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

Built between 2589 and 2504 BC, the Egyptian pyramids would be a marvel of engineering and physics even if they were built today. So how did those ancient people act on their construction? There are scientists who believe that aliens from another planet must have been involved…

Is there intelligent life outside of Earth?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

While we have not found signs of extraterrestrial intelligent life, would not it be fundamental probability to conclude that somewhere out there are beings who have at least as much intelligence as terrestrials? But let's say that there is such a thing as intelligent extraterrestrial life - would we be able to recognize it with our earthly senses? For now, the whole thing remains a mystery.

What are those strange explosions coming from space?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

Scientists have observed large explosions of radio waves coming from three billion light-years away (based on incredibly complicated calculations). "People want to believe they are from an advanced extraterrestrial civilization, and this hypothesis has not been completely ruled out by researchers at Breakthrough Listen, a research program dedicated to finding evidence of intelligent life in the universe," according to CNN. But no one knows, and there are many other hypotheses, including those involving black holes and dying stars.

What the hell are tardigrades?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

You may have heard of tardigrades, the eight-legged microorganisms that are often found around tree moss. They can live without water, withstand temperatures of -328 to 304 degrees Fahrenheit, and even survive in outer space. Their incredible survival skills have led some to speculate that they actually came from outer space, but scientists believe they originated on Earth. But scientists have not been able to understand exactly what tardigrades are.

Why do we sleep?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

 

We know that the human body is regulated by a sleep-wake cycle. We know we spend almost a third of our lives asleep. We know that our bodies are repaired during sleep. We know we dream while we sleep. We know a lot about the way sleep affects our body. But not all living organisms require sleep. So then why us? A promising theory is that sleep plays a major role in brain plasticity.

Why was the octopus coming out of the sea?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

No, it's not a riddle. It really happened. In 2017, dozens of octopuses emerged from the ocean and crawled along the coast of Wales for a night pilgrimage that no one knows where. Or why. National Geographic contacted several experts who offered various theories, including polypopementia, the displacement of the octopus population due to storms, and an octopus population boom that has caused the octopus to seek high and low food. But none of this explains why the exodus was stopped immediately three days later.

What happened to Amelia Earhart?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic alone and the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to the US mainland. But during a flight attempt around the world in July 1937, Earhart disappeared over the Pacific, and the wreckage of the plane was never found. Its disappearance remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century, according to History.com. Did it crash and sink?

If a tree falls, but no one is there to hear it…

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

If a tree falls when no one is there to hear it, did it actually make a sound? If sounds are defined as disturbances in the air caused by movement, we can answer yes, a sound exists even if the ears do not hear it. But quantum theory claims that without a measuring device to record it, sound does not exist.

Chicken egg or chicken egg?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

Although British researchers found that egg formation could not occur without a protein found in chicken ova, it has been accepted that there are other types of egg formation. This means that the egg may have evolved before the chicken. And yet this is a theory, so it remains virtually impossible to trace who came first.

Is there life after death?

15 mysteries that science has not been able to solve

Whoever has died and lived to tell about it, has not experienced death. Or can? Of course, they have not experienced it in a permanent way. So the question becomes: Is there life after death from which he does not return? It is challenging to investigate, as you can not return from a death from which there is no return. However, some scientists insist that life after death is a true scientific fact. Still others insist that life after death is physically impossible quantum.
