What Science Cannot Explain

Today I was reading a article in The Times of India,"What Science Cannot Explain"

Stories of scores breakthroughs made in science and technology cannot take away from the fact that there exist some phenomenon that we still can't explain.

some of them are listed here.....

Ghosts, Apparitions, and Spirits
Ghosts have long since solidified a place in history and everyday life. You turn on the TV and shows center on spirits and 'ghost whisperers.' There are people who believe they can contact the dead and have made a living off of displaying this 'gift.' Since science cannot give concrete proof that spirits of the dead do not exist – some are at a complete loss – unwilling to at least give the thought a chance.

Near-Death Experiences
There are many people who claim to have neared death and experienced a variety of mystical outcomes as a result. Some people describe traveling into a tunnel filled with light; being able to establish contact with loved ones in the spirit world; and gain a sense of peace before coming back to life – remembering the details of this incident often described as a 'near-death' experience.

Body and Mind…
The mind is so complicated that medical science has only explored the tip of the iceberg. The mind influences the body, but we do not exactly know how. For example, the body possesses the ability to heal itself that far surpasses drugs and other medical approaches. Let's take the placebo effect for instance – some people can bring about a sense of relief and lack of pain associated with medical symptom just by believing that a certain cure is effective. Now, that is power you just don’t understand that quickly.

Intuition
Whether you refer to it as a 'gut feeling' or a 'sixth sense' or that 'weird feeling' - intuition is an experience that many will say they have undergone. While tons of gut feeling have turned out wrong – what about the ones that actually were right? Psychologists have already mentioned that people have the ability to subconsciously gather information about the surrounding world that can produce a 'sense' of 'something'.

UFOs
Some argue that we cannot exactly prove why we are here; therefore how can we disprove that other living things and creatures exist in the world (or Solar System for that matter). With black holes and depths of space we have no clue about – who's to say that some other planet just like ours thrives. Unidentified Flying Objects have been around since the start of time, as ancient art reveals. In the sky, a lot of things have been noted. Sometimes, it is a simple aircraft or a meteor – other times – the pilots in the sky see something they cannot explain as well. Some believe in aliens and spacecraft outside of human control, and as hard as the government tries to disprove objects in the air that no one really knows what it is – science cannot completely make the statement that it is out of the realm of possibility. This is probably the same thing that aliens are saying about us – 'how did they get here?'

Déjà vu
Maybe the movie with Denzel Washington was a bit far-fetched – but I've had experiences of déjà vu myself, where I know exactly what is going to happen before it does because I feel like it has already happened before. I believe almost everyone has had this feeling in some form or another. It's more complicated that just saying you feel like you’ve met someone before or visited a place before. Actual events seem to unfold right before your very eyes with a sense of unnerving familiarity.
Déjà vu is the French phrase for 'already seen' and some believe that it possesses a link to psychic experiences or showcases pieces of a previous life you may have lived. Right in the same boat as intuition, déjà vu is viewed as a mystery that perhaps human psychology might be able to unlock. However, the cause and background on this phenomenon could remain a mystery and isn't something science can lend a hand with.

Psychic Powers and ESP
The topic of psychic powers has drummed up controversy for many years now, and you can lump ESP (extra sensory perception) right in the same boat. When it comes to unexplained phenomenon, you cannot deny that certain things are proclaimed at the oddest and most correct times. A lot of people believe that intuition is also a form of psychic power, as it is just another way of tapping into some special portal to the future. Researchers have showed an interest in people with these 'special powers' and have conducted tests.

Bigfoot and Other "Mythical" Creatures
Many of years have passed and the legend of the large, hairy beasts that resemble men (usually called Bigfoot) still make the rounds in folklore, supposed sightings, and news headlines. Eyewitness accounts have been reported in North America and all over the world, as people swear they have captured the beast on film during hiking trips and family camping outings.
While the legend is still active, it is pretty curious that not one single body has been found. A hunter has never accidentally killed a Bigfoot. They haven't been hit by a car like deer crossing the road and the lifespan must be amazing because – natural causes has never taken the life of a Bigfoot.

Is science ever gonna find out about them or they will remain as a mystery.
Is we dont have suffiecient scintific knowledge to find out about them.
Are they remain a mystery for us.
How long it will take to know about them.???????????????

these were the certain quetions that makes me think when I read that article about them.

are we insufficient to find out about them.!!!
Is our scientist incapable to finding this.
