20 Scientific Mysteries We’re Dying to Get Solved

Science has been around for a long time, so you’d think we’d have pretty much everything figured out by now. Sure, there are depths of the universe that we can’t explore at our current level of sciencing, but the earth, humans, animals, why objects behave the way they do under various circumstances — these are all studies we’ve exhausted. Absolutely nothing left to know about them. Right? RIGHT?

It turns out we don’t know shit about any of those things, comparatively. Like, did you know the vast majority of the ocean is unexplored? Or that we’re still finding new species of dinosaurs every week? Even the stuff we do know about, we have no idea why it works the way that it does. It’s enough to make you throw up your hands and say, “Oh my god, Karen, you can’t just ask things why they work.”
