“Accurate Premonitions”: 35 Things That Still Stump Scientists
Interview With Expert
Scientists have done a lot of good for our society that we should forever be grateful for, like generating enough knowledge to invent vaccines, electricity, the camera, and the Internet, among other things. They also help us answer important questions, such as who our ancestors were, why it rains, and how we can see colors. However, some things still baffle scientists, ranging from mundane ones like why we yawn to more complex ones like what’s inside a black hole.
More questions that the greatest minds struggle to answer fully await you in the list below, courtesy of the Minddrop TikTok page (disclaimer: all the content it shares is AI generated). Scroll down to see them for yourself, and don’t forget to upvote those that you want to be resolved first.
While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with a mechanical engineer, broadcaster, and 7x STEM author, Dr. Shini Somara, who kindly agreed to talk with us all about science and its mysteries.

I've never felt nostalgia for something I've never lived (whatever that means). But several times in my life I've come upon a place or a prospect and was absolutely certain I had been there before, even though I couldn't possibly have been and had never seen an image of it. 🤷♂️

Just that, a trigger. A few weeks ago a post went up with very old photos and their stories. Someone began ridiculing the subjects in a photo about canning their vegetables for winter, the implication was that it was hardly a job. I spelled out for them every step from tilling to planting to weeding and then harvesting and beyond to prepare for canning. I went back over 50 years in my memories of doing that in our garden, with the folks and essentially relived it for that few minutes. My memories of things like that astonish my sister, but I think it's all about the trigger.

Sorry for the (ironic) repetition, but: there's a scientific explanation of deja vu. For simplicity: you process thoughts in your short term memory, then they go into your long-term memory. Sometimes there's a glitch and they go into the long term at the same time; hence, when processing them in your short term memory, it seems like they match what's in the long term and you think you're seeing them for the second time rather than the first. They don't know what causes the glitch, but the effect is measurable.

So my reason knew it wasn't real, but the feeling would have bet my annual salary on it. Feelings can lie.

My theory: the tones of music correspond with the tones of speech. - Certain musical tones, especially bass flat notes remind people of deep, sad voices. So they feel sad. - And that's why humans value music so much: it reproduces the emotions of speech. - Just a theory.

The Universe makes a tone. We are tone deaf to it like white noise but it's there. We like vibrations because we are condensed vibrations of energy. All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

In the simplest way possible, quantum entanglement is a kind of relationship between two particles that makes them connected even when they are separated by billions of light-years. A change in one instantly influences the other, no matter how far apart they are. Talk about one seriously long-distance relationship.
This odd connection seemingly breaks a fundamental law of the universe. Albert Einstein even famously called this phenomenon "spooky action at a distance."
Not so long ago, in 2022, the Nobel Prize in physics recognized three scientists who made groundbreaking contributions in understanding this most mysterious natural phenomenon, quantum entanglement.

Whenever I get the sensation someone is looking at me, there is. My theory is it's a primitive, survival mode that is part of our intuitive sense.
Lowrider 56 5 months ago
This one i believe is a genetic characteristic that helped humans survive.
Whereas superposition in quantum physics, mentioned by Dr. Shini, describes the ability of particles, such as electrons and photons, to be in more than one state at the same time.
A popular example that is used to explain this is the analogy of a coin. Usually, when we flip a coin, it lands on one side, either heads or tails. But in quantum physics, before you look, the coin, or rather a particle, could be both heads and tails at once. Once we look at it or measure it, it falls into one specific state. Some strange world we live in, huh?

I remember a CSI episode where a man was suspected to have k1ll3d someone, so a tech took blood from his arm to compare to the DNA at the scene of the crime. He was cleared of being a suspect, then he later repeated that crime. There was alot of thinking by the techs, and they decided the man must have done the crimes, but was somehow able to change his DNA, which is impossible. They finally solved the case by drawing blood from another part of his body, and that DNA matched. Come to find out he was a chimera. He had 2 sets of DNA, probably an absorbed twin brother, and the man evaded police by having blood drawn on the arm where his twin was, inside. This is probably the strangest way to hide your identity

At its heart, science’s main goal is to build knowledge and understanding. It achieves this by utilizing the human senses to observe and investigate the physical world, thereby understanding how various mechanisms function in our universe.
“It deals with observations of phenomena that take place on a daily basis and makes an attempt at explaining the various relationships that exist between them through either direct or indirect means. The observations are empirical, i.e. they rely on the human capacity to use the senses to perceive them,” Dr. Mohamed Ghilan explained.

I’ve always felt like there’s two of me inside my body. One is my conscious self, who is the one typing this sentence, and the other is my body, who is busy digesting my breakfast right now. The other day I was having a really grumpy day and my brain gave me a thought like “this sucks, I just want to go home and crawl in bed.” But that wasn’t a conscious thought, it was my brain reacting to hormones and stress. So my conscious self just says to my own brain “no you’re fine, you’re just on your period, just hang in there and we’ll get ice cream later.” Am I making sense? 😅 it’s kind of how some people talk to their cars. My consciousness is the driver and my body is the car, and sometimes my “car” has some weird quirks. It’s helpful to remember those quirks aren’t me, it’s the “car.” I started thinking this way years ago when I was getting help for some intrusive and quite distressing thoughts, and it was helpful to realize those thoughts weren’t coming from my consciousness, there was nothing wrong and awful and terrible about me, it was just my “car” malfunctioning lol

Sometimes when you have an anxiety disorder, it just goes off for no reason. Before I got mine under control, I’d be, say, doing the dishes and suddenly my body is in full flight-or-flight mode and I’m sweating and hyperventilating and absolutely terrified of…..nothing I could really put my finger on. Brains are weird and sometimes your parasympathetic nervous system is a bit wonky.
That said, science works under strict boundaries, which (ironically) limit what it can do. The first one is that it aims to explain how, not why. This essentially means that science describes how mechanisms and processes work and occur rather than trying to find explanations for why this is happening or occurring in the first place. For example, science can tell us how our brain works, but can’t answer why consciousness exists and what ultimate purpose it might have.

I was raised by my great grandmother who was a nurse during WW 2. I was sick and my parents were teenagers, so she took me as an infant. I became really close to my grandparents and I was heartbroken when my parents took me home. I was also hyperactive, so I never slept at night and once my parents were asleep, I would sneak out and play in the woods or creeks of their farm until it started getting light. One spring, the creeks were running bank full, so I would go out and play in the creek, jumping from rock to rock in the dark. It was probably after midnight when I got stuck on a rock and tried to figure out how to get to the next rock that was pretty far away when all of a sudden I heard my grandfather yell "Sally! Stop! You go home right now!" I turned around and jumped back to the bank and raced home when I remembered grandpa had been dead for almost a year. I have no doubt that it was him and I'm almost certain I would have died that night if he hadn't been looking out for me.

I read somewhere that when you look at something, you need to use light/other mechanism. And that's why that happens - we've interfered without meaning to.
Science journalist Robert Krulwich totally agrees.
"To me, that's the beauty of science: to know that you will never know everything, but you never stop wanting to, that when you learn something, for a second you feel crazy smart, and then stupid all over again as new questions come tumbling in. It's an urge that never dies, a game that never ends. Science is a rough trade, played, I hope, forever."

In everyday experience, one event precedes another, whether it's causally connected or not. Why would apes like us NOT perceive time as linear? - It would have no survival advantage.

Because it is the only way humans can make sense of things. If our lives and the lives of those we love were written in a book that others could read, we could be alive on page 2 and die on page 10. As humans, we would experience our life on a linear time line with a beginning, a middle and an end.. However, someone could pick up the book of our life, and everything in that book is happening at the same time, it's just not experienced that way for the people in the book.

The Andromeda galaxy is incredibly far away (like the fastest man-made object would still take billions of years to get there) but imagine we somehow had a ship that could transport us there in just a few hours. We could marvel at the stars and planets for a few minutes, and then make the journey home to earth. When we arrive home a few hours later, millions and millions of years will have passed on earth. Despite us only experiencing a few hours of a nice field trip. Time and space are SO WEIRD and it gives me goosebumps.

Animals are in tune with the environment so even subtle changes are felt and processed. I think even humans have the ability if we choose to stop and listen. I can usual tell a weather change is on way a few hours before it happens, the atmospheric pressure change gives me head aches which are different to other headaches i get. And it feels different when its going warm to rain, or vise versa.

The ancients used to read signs in the sky - the clouds, the movement and patterns of the birds and from those they would divine the future. Those messages were supposed to come from the gods, who lived on high (or up a mountain if you lived in Ancient Greece). In modern times we still continue to look upwards, as for generations, the answers to our problems were supposed to come from "up there". It is instinct, based on thousands of generations.

It's a failsafe for brains to be able to go deeper than just sleep. Think about surgeries: While asleep, the body still feels pain. You need to be unconscious for your body to not involuntarily twitch aways from the pain.

I don't think so. My knee surgery was done under local anesthesia from the hip down, so I was awake until I almost threw up and my heart rate went up when I heard my flesh being separated from my bones. At that point, I asked to be medicated to lose consciousness. The last thing I heard was that my heart rate was dropping to normal. Besides, lying still for over two hours during surgery while awake would have been numbing and boring. My second surgery was done under anesthesia and was a less scary experience.

Yes we create false memory very easily. Maybe to cover or forget trauma. We also seem to do that, we forget horrible things and retain the good.

Interesting idea that one of my friends has: if the universe had its own consciousness, it would be something that can perceive itself. If the universe is made up of everything that exists inside it, and there are conscious minds (us) inside it, who’s to say we’re not the universe’s consciousness ourselves? Maybe the point of life is to experience. We’re here as the universe experiencing itself. We’re the little tendrils of consciousness the universe has sent out to see what it’s created. The meaning of life isn’t to gain material wealth and power and clout - we’re here to have experiences and be curious and create and discover :) (I’m a pretty science-y person myself but I love thinking about metaphysical hypotheticals, as a treat lol, this one sounds better than any religious explanation I’ve heard)

The local Legislative building is open the to the public to explore. Rooms are generally closed off, but you can wander the halls, and there's a cafeteria. You can even observe a legislation meeting in progress from the top balconies. Me and my daughter were there exploring. When we got to the 3rd floor the atmosphere just felt heavy. No one else who wasn't working was around on that floor, although it was still open to the public. We pressed on, I tried ignoring the feeling. We got to one doorway that led to another hallway that curved around to another wing. I felt like something, like an invisible wall, stopped us. It felt like I wasn't supposed to go down there and I wasn't supposed to be up on the 3rd floor. I felt like someone or something was around the curve. We turned around and just started heading to the 2nd floor. The feeling was gone when we got down from that floor.

Theory that keeps me up at night - some of you may have heard that object at the outer regions of our solar system orbit a little strangely, as if something heavy and invisible is tugging on them.

Just like language it evolves with every encounter, with every experience. We are born with a (predominantly) clean slate that changes over time. Yes, there are some inherited traits, but what really shapes who we are are what we experience. Personally, I believe that Freud was right when he formed the believe that we are all born as an 'ID', then live through experiences and social conforms which shape us ('EGO") and spit us out as a fully formed personality, "I". I, however, also believe that the "I" can adapt and change throughout life. Just my thoughts.
