The mystery continues to challenge humanity 2012

In 2011, experts and scientists explained many new and emerging scientific mysteries. However, there are still phenomena, questions that need answers in this new year 2012. Here's the same case.

Bees die in mass

The serious decline in the number of bees has worried biologists for many years. According to statistics, since 2006, there have been a lot of bees died, especially in the US with about 20% - 40% of the bees disappear. There has been much speculation about the cause of this phenomenon: pesticides, mobile phones, climate change .

Scientists have hypothesized and there is some evidence that a fungus or virus has the potential to spread that has caused bee deaths. However, the final answer to this mystery has yet to be released.

This year, if the bees continue to disappear, the experts cannot find the cause and method of prevention, this phenomenon is likely to affect the ecological balance on our planet.

"The Lord's Particle"

It is possible that many people have heard of the theory of the Big Bang - the first explosion to structure matter, bringing the universe out of the chaos. For a long time, this was considered a metaphysical theory but the recent achievements of world nuclear physics have shown that Big Bang has a scientific basis. Accordingly, a particle named Higgs, also known as "God's Particle" is said to be the cause of this big explosion.

In the last few years, scientists have been constantly experimenting to find the Higgs. In mid-December 2011, two ATLAS2 and CMS3 research groups of the European Nuclear Research Center (CERN) presented an experiment to search for the Higgs particle (also known as the Particle of God) before the entire physical world. Europe.

The results they gave were based on analyzing a much larger amount of data with the CERN Conference last summer. However, according to CERN's official conclusion, although there are many advances in the search for the Lord's Particle, these results are not strong enough to ascertain whether the Higg seed exists or not.

In the coming months, both experimental groups will continue to refine and perfect their analyzes. CERN hopes to make new progress to be announced at the Winter Physics Conference in March this year.

Extraterrestrial life

Are we lonely in the universe? This is a question that has existed for a long time and still has no solution.

In January 2011, NASA announced that the Kepler space telescope had found the first evidence of a once-living planet outside the solar system that was half a Earth and named. is Kepler-10b.

Then, in December, a planet named Kepler 22b was also found with "twice the size of the Earth, confirmed to be quite similar to our planet".

Every year, space scientists find potential planets, but evidence for extraterrestrial life has yet to be found.

Doomsday

There have been many scientific theories and even mysterious prophecies about Human Destruction Day will take place this year. The ancient Mayan calendar, the hypothesis of asteroids' collision with the Earth or terrifying prophecies is all about the time around 2012.

There have also been many studies done to reach a conclusion that rejects the possibility of Apocalypse this year. However, there is still no basis to confirm the scientific hypothesis and these predictions are impossible.

Whether after 365 days we are still present in the world or not, the question will only be answered at this time for one more year.
