Number 10: Why Do We Age?
Getting old is an unavoidable fact of life. But, should it be happening? According to Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, the fittest individuals get to pass on their genes to the next generation. Life thrives in the reproduction of an improved species. So, it’s plausible that individuals with traits that prevent aging should have already evolved. This way, they would pass their traits without the age-related decline in their ability to reproduce and survive.
This contradiction in evolution has been debated since the 1800s. George C. Williams, an American evolution biologist, devised the antagonist pleiotropy hypothesis in 1953, which purports that, while one gene can lead to the organism’s well-being in its earlier life, it can be detrimental in later life. In layman terms, you’re perfect before you pass on your genes. After this, evolution doesn’t care about you anymore. Williams’s hypothesis was in part confirmed in 2015, following a study by researchers at the Institute of Molecular Biology in Mainz, Germany. They studied the genes that influence the autophagy process in worms. This is a natural mechanism of the cells, that involves the destruction of dysfunctional or unnecessary cellular components, in turn promoting health and fitness. Their breakthrough finding came when they shut down the AP genes in the old worms. The result was an unprecedented improvement in whole body health and life span of the elderly worms by as much as 50%. This may not be the definitive answer to immortality. But, it’s certainly a step closer to solving this discomforting mystery.
Number 9: The Fate Of The Universe.
The Big Bang Theory is the widely held view of how our universe began. And Edwin Hubble proved that the universe was still expanding in 1931. But is there going to be an end? Various theories seek to explain the end of the universe.
The Big Crunch hypothesis assumes that, in the future, the universe will stop expanding and begin contracting. It the end, the universe will go back to how it was in the beginning, which could lead to another Big Bang.
The Big Freeze is another scenario that assumes that stars will run out of fuel and grow dark. Black holes will eventually dominate the universe and also die after emitting Hawking radiation.
The Big Rip hypothesis suggests that all matter, including spacetime, will be torn by the expansion of the universe and disintegrate into elementary particles and radiation. Pick your brain and tell us your thoughts on how the universe will end, in the comments below!
8. Is death final?
What will follow the closing curtain after your last act in the theatre of life? Will it be perpetual nothingness and darkness! Or, are you destined for a happy life in a heaven stationed someplace in the cosmos? All major religions envision life after death. Remarkably, the ancient Egyptians regarded man as an immortal being, and death as a brief interruption. But what does science think?

Dr. Sean Carroll, a cosmologist, says that life can't exist after death, because there is no clear way for the soul to survive. He points to the Quantum Field Theory, which holds that there is one field for each type of particle. Electrons and photons have known fields. But, all quantum experiments have not unearthed the existence of "spirit particles" or "spirit forces." Robert Lanza, an American medical doctor and scientist, suggests that we have been taught to accept the idea of dying, while in fact, it only exists in our minds. The "me" feeling in your mind is energy. And after death, that energy doesn't simply go away. He says that “Life has a non-linear dimensionality –it’s like a perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse.”
Number 7: Why We Dream What We Dream?
We’ve come far in our understanding of sleep. So far, we know that we sleep in cycles, with one cycle lasting from 90 to 120 minutes. Also, we know that there are five stages in a sleep cycle, beginning with light sleep and ending with rapid eye movement; the stage where your heart rate increases, your breathing is rapid, and your brain waves speed up. But the source of the images and stories in your dreams remains the biggest mystery. So, researchers put in countless hours analyzing brain activity data in an attempt to explain our unconscious adventures.

What do you think is the biggest mystery in science?

[OriginsExplained]

Number 1 is definitely what I think we as humans wonder about the most!

I just subscribe i like your video they are interesting.

Space has always fascinated me, and therefore would like to know more about what is out there. Unfortunately, we currently do not process the method of propulsion that would allow us to quickly venture out.

When it comes to science, it seems that everything points to "energy". Interesting
