Top 5 scientific mysteries still unsolved

What are the most interesting and scientific mysteries that still remained unresolved?!? Let's find out together! 

Top 5 Unsolved science mysteries of the world can't explain

5. drift of continents



Ever heard of continental drift?!? Let's start from here our review of unresolved scientific mysteries: a geological theory according to which the continents would be moving relative to each other. The first to speak was Alfred Lothar Wegener, in 1912, which also provided a coherent explanation than claimed. Today, this theory has been replaced by more modern plate tectonics! But still the mystery intends strongly: from what would have been caused the drift of continents?!?

4. extinction of megafauna


What is the real reason why there was the extinction of the megafauna? Even today, you are not sure of being able to give a precise answer, but it is believed that this is due to climatic or causes of global change, but simply to the gradual migration of the apex predators of the genus Homo, the blame would be just ours! Obviously these are just theories, but depending on the appearance of man on every continent, started the demise of each of prehistoric animals that lived there. Mere coincidence?!?

3. Mpemba Effect


Ever heard of ... Mpemba effect?!? Maybe, I knew already but don't know the scientific name: this is the phenomenon that occurs when you put in the freezer two glasses of water, identical to each other but different initial temperature and hotter freezes before that with water at room temperature! Still, no one was able to give a scientific explanation to this amazing effect!

2. the speed of light


With regard to the speed of light, we are still faced with differing opinions: today we will propose the theory of a theoretical physicist from the United States that if an object could really achieve such speed this might involve time dilation as well as the increase of the mass of an object. Nevertheless, in order to allow an object to the speed of light it would take an infinite amount of energy: with a warp drive, this would be possible! Who knows if I ever will be able to make one!

1. out-of-body Experiences


Never heard of O.B.E, meaning "Out of Body Experience" out-of-body experiences? At least one person in ten claims to have tried this kind of experience at least once in their lifetime. It can happen when you are close to death, when you sleep, when you feel a strong emotion ... in many cases, in fact, and that stated it would be an experience that allows you to exit the body with his conscience, projecting it in the space around us! There are also many books about it, and the first testimonies concerning date back to thousands of years ago!
