13 Puzzles

Recently, an article was posted in the times relaying the 13 most puzzling scientific conundrums of our time. With them we can see the biasness of modern cosmology affects every one of them. They are asking questions without knowing the circumstances and are unwilling to bend their theories from the "perfect principles" they laid out that the universe must be.

Nothing will ever change if you are not willing to change your theory.

The first one alone makes an Plasma Cosmologist simply laugh.

"We can only account for 4 per cent of the cosmos

If you’re wondering what the LHC might do for you, how’s this: it might just find a whole quarter of the universe."

Or

"Destabilising our view of the universe

A decade ago, we discovered that the fundamental constants of physics might not be so constant after all."

This is the problem: Gravity is the only force holding the universe together, and if we find variances, then we need to add matter to make up the difference. Matter we cannot see, but this Dark Matter MUST be there. This is, to a scientist, saying:

"The magician pulled a rabbit out of his hat, and the rabbit was not there before, so the magician can teleport matter with his mind."

Seriously.
