Very poor article. Could've been much better, with more information.

This article could have been fascinating, but as it was, it was just lazy. I learned nothing.

@Sillerd, what the article is saying is that the satellites are MORE than they are supposed to. The scientists calculated expected velocities and they are consistently lower than the actual values. Also agree with Misanthropos about Morgellons Disease but the rest are interesting.

alot of these are actually wrong for one instants the universe did not start with equal matter and anti-matter, the matter we use in daily life out numbered anti matter. two, the satellite accelerates cause of gravity it is always falling to the earth and something falling to the earth has a tendency to accelerate so... something always falling to the earth with out entering the atmosphere means that it is always accelerating. and in response to stilljollytango1 scientists do know a lot for example even though the ancient greeks never could understand or harness the powers of waves like light waves, radio waves, and etc they still calculated it with mathematics. by using principles of mathematics, physics, chemistry and etc we can look in the unknown and come out with a darn close estimate of what is going on.

A good chunk of these are explainable, people just don't like the answers. 'Morgellons Disease" is the creation of a woman who has Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (a mental disorder in which a parent uses their child's imaginary illnesses to gain attention for themselves.) In other words it isn't a disease. However, this woman, Mary Leitao, has decided to get political in order to further her desperate grab for attention. Not surprisingly other people with psychosomatic tendencies have jumped on the bandwagon. That's the only reason why you are even hearing about it. There's no evidence that this disease exists at all (except as a mental illness). Look it up.

Many of these are just very stupid. Scientist always love to come up with theories....I guess that's why they seem to be right a lot. The first one on here is lame, the axis of evil, based on a theory. WOW! AWESOME! This section just shows scientist know very little about the universe but try to seem like they know a lot.

It's unfortunate the links lead to "you have to pay to see full" articles on New Scientist... however a lot of these things I will definitely be reading up on.

Interesting article. - remember there are more things that man does not know than he does know.

At first I thought along the lines of kingofmarmalade ("New Scientist, you're supposed to use science.") and NerosDeathYacht ("F for effort.") however after closer examination of the actual articles behind these topics, my worries subsided a little. To exemplify, here's what the article on Morgellons disease had to say: "Morgellons is an internet meme, say Andrew Lustig and his colleagues at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, Canada."
Although the article prefaces are somewhat obviously designed to be controversial, the articles themselves are much less so.

Tens of millions of years ago, the average temperature at the poles was 15 or 20 ｰC. Now let's talk about climate change

I must say I'm nonplussed by this. Glossing over the legitimacy of certain items, why make this list with no elaboration like credible links for further interest? They barely say anything. F for effort. If these are so interesting, and of course some of them are, then don't you think we want more?
