13 Unsolved scientific puzzles
Author Michael Books has investigated some of the most puzzling anomalies of modern science, those intractrable problems that refuse to conform to the theories. Here he counts down the 13 strangest.
1. MOST OF THE UNIVERSE IS MISSING
If you’re wondering what the LHC might do for you, how’s this: it might just find a whole quarter of the universe. The collider is hoping to create some particles of what physicists call “dark matter”, an enigma that is thought to make up roughly 25 per cent of the universe. Then there is the “dark energy”, a mysterious force that seems to be ripping space and time apart. In total, a whopping 96 per cent of the universe has gone AWOL. Unless, that is, we’ve got our maths all wrong. Watch this space.
2. THE PIONEER ANOMALY
3. VARYING CONSTANTS
Destabilising our view of the universe
4. COLD FUSION
5. LIFE
Are you more than just a bag of chemicals?
6.METHANE FROM MARTIANS
