Few Interesting unsolved scientific mysteries

Humankind has achieved a lot with the modernization of technology and science through the years. However, when you begin to think about the remaining questions that have been left unanswered, you come to know that we still have a long way to go with uncovering all of the universe’s mysteries. The fact of the matter is that there are many mysteries about the universe that scientists and researchers will never be able to solve. The following questions are among the top unanswered questions to think about and there are many others

1- WHAT IS GRAVITY?

Isaac Newton provided us the simple understanding of gravity but that was all changed by Albert Einstein. Scientists to this day struggle with understanding what this gravity force is all about. Also, since it is a pulling force, another question is why is it weak in comparison to other forces like nuclear force? And as the other forces in have opposites, what is the opposite of gravity and why it pulls only? As far as quantum theory of gravity is concerned, this had led some scientists to question whether gravity is even considered a force or not

2- HOW DO ANIMALS MIGRATE?

We know that animals migrate throughout the year to escape the variable temperatures and in search of favorable resources in order to survive. The question here is how these animals know where to go and how to navigate to and from year after year. One assumption is that they use mountains and rivers to help them find their way. Another is that they use the stars , sun and moon as navigational tools. Another explanation is that they use the Earth’s magnetic field to find their way. Currently there is no solid clue as to how they navigate.

3- WHY AND HOW DO WE GET TO SLEEP?

On of the greatest mysteries of both science and medicine is sleep. There is no scientific explanation as to why our bodies are regulated by a twenty four hours cycle while other organisms sleep at odd hours like owls or don't sleep at all like bull frogs. Roughly we speed around 1/3 of our lives sleeping in order for our body to function properly. There are various scientific arguments for why sleep is needed and how it's benefits, including memory health. However, a question arises here if sleep is that to humans, then how no human has ever died from not sleeping? Also, researchers are still eagerly searching for a cure for insomnia, as how body gets to sleep is another great unanswered mystery.

4- DID THE BIG BANG REALLY HAPPEN?

Big Bang theory is the most famously accepted explanation by scientists for how the universe was formed. According to Albert Einstein’s theory, our universe formed from a tiny point called a singularity. Although most of the scientists accept this theory, no one can form a logical explanation as to what came before the singularity, or what properties the point of singularity had. The fact of the matter is that the Big Bang is a speculation, and beyond it, we have no clue. Because of lack of answer to this very basic question, our explanation for numerous other mysteries including the age of the universe are all just speculations as well.

5- HOW WILL THE UNIVERSE END?

One of the scariest questions to ponder on, when will universe end. The possible conjecture to this question is even more obscure than to how the universe came to being. The most famous arguments are that: It will eventually collapse in on itself and second one is everything will freeze out, third one is everything will burn up, fourth one is everything including all of the stars and galaxies will tear apart. All of these theories are mostly derived from religion. All of these theories are not certain.
