《新科学杂志》的顾问迈克尔·布鲁克斯2009年2月出版了《无意义之事——当今最难解的科学之谜》（Things That Don’t Make Sense—The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries of Our Time）一书。在书中，布鲁克斯仔细研究了现代科学中最令人迷惑的反常事件，指出这些难以解释的异常现象一点也不合乎科学规律。以下就是布鲁克斯列举的最为怪异的13个科学之谜。
1. Most of the universe is missing,. We can only account for 4 percent of the cosmos.
If you＇re wondering what the LHC might do for you, howls this： it might just find a whole quarter of the universe. The collider is hoping to create some particles of what physicists call ＂dark matter＂, an enigma that is thought to make up roughly 25 per cent of the universe. Then there is the ＂dark energy＂, a mysterious force that seems to be ripping space and time apart. In total, a whopping 96 per cent of the universe has gone AWOL. Unless, that is, we＇ve got our maths all wrong.
