Things Science Cannot Explain: Intro

Things Science Cannot Explain:  Intro

Something I googled awhile back while in a weird state of mind was “things science cannot explain”.  I was watching the science channel and on one of the documentaries they mentioned something called the Wow! Signal.  I watched and watched, waiting for some kind of scientific explanation.  But there never was one!  Turns out, no one EVER figured out what it was.  Interesting, huh?  I promise I’ll come back to it,  For now, I don’t want to get too far off point as I’m prone to do.
This led me to wonder “What else can science not explain?”  So then I was off to the Batcave (I don’t actually have a Batcave, but I’m definitely getting one when I get rich) to do some research.  What I found blew my freaking mind!  We have a tendency to think of scientists as people who know almost everything.  It seems there is plenty they don’t know.  And the smarter they are, the more they admit to not knowing.  You’d think it would be the just the opposite.
While talking to a friend recently, he mentioned a new set of pyramids that had been found and that they predated known human history in that area.  I had a flashback to googling this type of stuff.  I told him if you want you want to see something really freaky, check out the Baigong Pipes (I know, I’m teasing, more on that later too).  By this time I had started Thank you Google! and I thought “That would make a great post!”
My original plan had been to write a Top 5 Things That Science Can’t Explain.  But then I started looking into it again and there were just too many awesome unexplained things to narrow down to just five.  So I said ten!  And began my search for the ten best.  And promptly gave up.  I said “Screw it!”
I decided then and there that Things Science Can’t Explain would have to be a recurring segment on Thank you Google!  I won’t leave you waiting long.  Here is just a taste of what’s to come:

The Wow! Signal
The Baigong Pipes
The Naga Fireballs
The Placebo Effect

Stay tuned!  The questions are coming!  No answers, mind you, but the questions are fantastic!
