What do we still not know, despite centuries of science, satellites, equations, and supercomputers? Where does certainty end and mystery stubbornly remain? And why do unanswered questions sometimes feel more exciting than solved ones?

 

In this discussion, we’ll explore a selection of scientific mysteries that continue to puzzle researchers today. From the origins of the universe and what, if anything, came before the Big Bang, to strange phenomena like the unexplained Hum heard in different parts of the world. We’ll look at mysterious signals from space, such as the Wow! Signal and fast radio bursts, and ask whether they’re cosmic accidents, natural processes we don’t yet understand, or something far more intriguing. We’ll even zoom in on the everyday and oddly familiar, like fingerprints, and question why we have them at all. This isn’t about wild speculation or technical lectures, but a smart, playful conversation about the limits of human knowledge, our curiosity about the unknown, and why science is often most interesting where the answers stop.

 

在经历了几个世纪的科学发展、卫星、公式和超级计算机之后，我们究竟还有哪些不知道的事？确定性在哪里结束，谜团又在哪里顽固地留下来？为什么有时候，没被解开的疑问反而比答案更让人着迷？

 

在这场讨论中，我们会一起看看一些至今仍困扰科学家的谜题。从宇宙的起源，以及大爆炸之前是否存在“之前”，到世界各地都有人听到、却无法解释的神秘低频嗡鸣声。我们会聊到来自太空的奇怪信号，比如 Wow! Signal 和快速射电暴，思考它们到底是宇宙巧合、尚未理解的自然现象，还是别的更耐人寻味的可能。我们甚至会回到日常生活中，比如指纹，问一句：我们为什么会有它？这不是技术讲座，也不是天马行空的猜测，而是一场轻松又有脑洞的对话，聊聊人类认知的边界、我们对未知的好奇，以及为什么科学往往在“没有答案的地方”最有意思。
