Classics
are universal questions that we all, but for which no one can give a
precise answer, because faith presupposes an impossible act to enroll
in a scientific field (Does God exist?) Are expressions a
desire that can currently only be possible in movies, (Can you travel
in time?), or fear stemming from the Mayan prediction scenarios (When
will the world end?). Not
surprisingly these concerns are part of a classification called
"unsolved mysteries", listed by British TV channel "Eden", according to
a survey designed to introduce science month.
"Who was born first, the egg or the chicken?"
Among
the remaining questions outside the classification are those who have
heard of are usually, but still remain unanswered (Who was born first,
the egg or the chicken?) Or banal everyday doubts (A really turns off
the fridge light when door closed?). However, most of the issues that have prompted more curiosity are scientific ones. Not
surprisingly, two thousand three quarters of British adults who
participated in the study, in relation to this state that attracts
exceptionally science, while a smaller proportion said they have a lot
of information about scientific issues. "Our
information on science moves rapidly, and to think that last over 500
years, when most people believed that the Earth was flat. Month
of science will serve precisely to solve some of these doubts
universal, although we still have much to learn. "Explained general
manager of TV channel to" Daily Mail ". Thus,
among the 54% of people who ask "Are we alone in the universe?" And 46%
who hope in finding a definitive cure for cancer, there are 39% who ask
for the existence of God, while 27% want to know if will ever conquer space. But
for those who want to know the full list of unresolved issues, which
are given only a few simple scientific explanation, you can read the
following classification.
"Top ten" of unsolved scientific mysteries
1 - Are we alone in the universe? - 54%
According
to scientists, the universe may have many planetary systems, which can
develop various forms of life, but we do not yet available
technological tools necessary to see millions of light years away to be
associated with them.
2 - Do you ever find cures for cancer? - 46% survival statistics of various forms of cancer have improved. Here
are influenced new treatments against the disease and hopefully in the
future to find a cure correctly, that patients live longer.
3 - Does God exist? - 39%
There is still no empirical and scientific confirmation of the existence of God.
4 - How big is the space? - 33%
Some
astronomers are convinced that there are no boundaries, others say that
the Big Bang space is expanding with a diameter of about 150 billion
light years.
5 - How and when life began on Earth? - 30%
There
have been many theories of bacteria that have entered into a symbiotic
relationship, the different currents that have passed through the
earth's crust.
6 - Is it possible to travel in time? - 29%
Thanks theoretically can travel wormholes, but these are unstable and keep open one would take great gravity.
7 - Would you ever conquer space? - 27%
Probably. Some
emphasize the need to consider the idea of establishing colonies in
other parts of the solar system, in the event that the Earth would be
uninhabitable.
8 - What can replace oil and when? - 27%
Alternative energy sources are already available, but costs must be kept under control if oil should be replaced. However, progress has been made in nanotechnology, where you can also find an answer about what we ask.
9 - When will the world end? - 24%
Theories
say that one day the universe will end its cycle of expansion and
everything will be in collapse, temperatures will reach 0 º C and "dark
energy" will prevail over the force of gravity.
10 - With many years can be extended human life? - 20% of the rats performed experiments have convinced scientists that man can live over 100 years.
