10 Bizarre Discoveries That Scientists Can't Explain



A lot of discoveries can be easy to explain, while other discoveries remain a total mystery. There are some things that simply have no explanation for why they exist at all. And we’re not sure why our own brain kills its own cells, but one thing is certain, you will walk away from this thinking the universe is stranger than you thought.

10. Lizard Fish – In the depths of the ocean’s abyss lurks the world’s deepest living superpredator, the Lizard Fish. It resembles something from a horror creature film. It’s given its name Bathysaurus ferox, which means "fierce deep-sea lizard” from its lizard shaped head, which is mostly mouth filled with hinged teeth.

8. Killing neurons – A new study has shown that as we learn, a burst of new cells is created to help the brain deal with the new information. When this happens, the brain decides which of the new cells work the best while getting rid of the extras that it doesn’t need in a survival-of-the-fittest contest.

7. Fierce female Viking – A high status Viking warrior’s bones were found inside a grave and most believed it to be the burial site of a great male Viking warrior. You would think this since throughout history, most great warriors were male.

4. Two-headed flatworm – Researchers have sent a lot of animals to space and have been doing this for decades. But something unexpected happened when a flatworm that was sent to space came back with two heads.

3. Huge jelly blobs spotted off norway coast – Mysterious jelly blobs suddenly appeared off of the coast of Norway and nobody has been able to identify what they are. Some experienced divers have reported seeing mysterious 1-meter, or 3.3 feet wide diameter jelly-like blobs. Could they be eggs? Aliens?
