For almost everything, there is a scientific explanation. But some things are beyond our current knowledge, for example, how black holes work. What happens inside them.

What other things are still a mystery for science?

[godelsmetric]

The initial state of the universe.

This. It is the reason for everything.

Gravity

Physics has a great explanation of gravity that's survived nearly a century so far, despite particle physicists best efforts to trash it.

[Fancy Corndog]

The unification of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics is another.

where does mass come from

[speedpop]

It is mostly universal stuff outside of our planet that we cannot use the scientific method for. Couple that with the fact that the only known form of life available is on our planet, so it somewhat limits out knowledge to a degree (though there are no known discoveries so far which have shown has a different path to what "life" can be).

I guess you could throw in several paranormal things around, but usually they are rebuked because it is all anecdotal evidence at best. There is one scientist I recall who lived in Sweden, and he teaches at school usually but every now and again he and a group of students head north to study some obscure lights that appear every now and again in the atmosphere.

I'll have to try and find it.

I don't feel a tingle when I pee.

You might wanna get that checked out.

Not as profound as some of the mysteries mentioned above, but what is this origin of this sound?

Quantum entanglement

Came in here to post this, but was beaten. This shit is so fucking creepy to think about it blows my mind. I only wish I can grasp more the details of the math behind Quantum Mechanics, because I would love to try to even have a more limited understanding of just how spooky this shit is.

Really? The little shudder that runs through the body right after ya piss? It's rather pleasant.

It's just an invisible hand that's communicating information without regard to space or time. What's creepy about that?

[Poimandres]

I'll go with these.

Also, unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity is a good one.

Bloop. Has that been explained yet?

[speedpop]

I've found it. It's a Norwegian guy, not Swedish.

It lead to an impromptu AMA on reddit because someone who posted on there was the son of the guy who leads the project.

I liked his quotes about it. He was rational and even though he's been studying them for 20 years, he is still hesitant to define what the lights are exactly and the ongoing conclusion is it being something to do with the magnetic sphere of the atmosphere.

"We need more data to say what it is. It could also be different types of phenomena, so it will be different answers to what the different types are. It is most likely that there are several different answers. The important thing is to get more good data about the different(?) types. When I say "different types", I mean the behavior etc on the phenomena we see and measure. It seems to be some categories the different lights seems to belong to. So those which looks and behave quit similar, belongs to the same "type"." "During the years there have been different types of instruments in use, for a short or long period of time. Just now there are instruments for measuring the magnetic field, electrical field in the ground and EM suited for sprites. We have previously had different types of radar, camera and video, ELFO (EM), spectral camera, geiger counter." "No really good theories exists yet. I think it is important to have instruments running when the lights shows up. There are several interesting instruments which could be used. We hope to have an UV and IR camera, together with a camera in the visual spectrum. We would also like to have a radar running all the time. Such instrument did get interesting data, when we had it running. General we want to cover a broader band of the spectrum, and a system which could give the right triggering signal, for storing data."

There's a video of the lights appearing but it's the typical fluff UFO documentary bullshit that is edited with extreme music to affect the mood

I suggest you watch it with everything muted.

Bloop. Has that been explained yet?

Nope, and I doubt it ever will unless the same thing kept occurring.

What is the make up of our universe (or multiverse) and how is it constructed.

Is it quilted, inflationary, brane, cyclic, holographic, landscape, cyclic or quantum?

Is it any of those or anything we haven't thought up yet or a combination of those?

And the possibility of there being parallel universe, and if the universe if infinite then a parallel universes could definitely be a possibility.
