One thing that makes science great is that we are able to look to it when we have questions that need answers to. Science gives us truth to questions we have through experimentation and detailed studies. However, science does not have the answer to everything. An example of questions that science has not been able is in regards to certain diseases.

For example, there are cancers that have no cure or treatment for them. This includes lung and brain cancer. Though studies have been done, it is a life-ending disease. Science has also not been able to find a way to live forever, which is one thing that most people want to do.

While there are a lot of things that science can explain, there are still some things that science will be unable to explain. For example, there are still some reports that are ongoing about the reason why yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you are bound to also yawn.

The funny thing is you may also yawn when you see an animal do it. There are still no answers about the swirling storm that can be found on Saturn. This has also changed color over the years, and scientists are still baffled about this.

There are also not a lot of details that are available about the dark matter right now. There is still so much that people do not know about it, although people are hoping that this will become clearer in the long run.

The correct answer to this question is Yes. Though science has been able to explain many of our most poignant questions, there are many things that science has not been able to explain or prove. One of those question is in regards to cycling and the physics around how a bicycle is able to stand upright.

Another question that science has not been able to answer is what makes us dream and how we are able to dream. Other questions that science has not been able to answer is related to the medical field. For example, we do not have a cure for cancer, so the question about keeping people from getting it is unable to be answered

There are so many things that science is yet to explain. Science is most concerned about getting substantial facts about anything, which is why it might take more time for science to give explanations for some things people see as mysteries. It is true that scientists have been able to develop theories for some phenomena, it is not yet certain how most of these phenomena occur.

For instance, scientists still find it hard to explain why people yawn, and not to talk of why yawning seems to be a contagious action. In fact, there are times you yawn by reading out the word "yawning." These and many other things are still mysteries that science has not explained yet.

However, the fact that there is no concrete scientific explanation for any of these does not mean science won't find it later. For instance, most of the things we considered as mysteries in the past are now scientific facts.

There are many mysteries in lie that can’t be explained. Science can usually prove or disprove common occurrences or events that take place especially in nature. However, there are several things that science just can’t prove or explain why this occurrences take place. One idea that can’t be explained by science is called the placebo effect.

This effect occurs when medication is given as a test to a group of participants and then the results are monitored. Another group of participants is given a placebo or medication that has really no medicinal value to it. Usually placebos are sugar pills. The participants take the medication and results have shown that both participants feel better even though one group was not given any medicine.
