Well, I think that it is...Of course if I was a better person I would be able to copy and paste a bit of it, if you are still around BM any chance that you could do the honours?

13 Unsolved scientific puzzles
Author Michael Books has investigated some of the most puzzling anomalies of modern science, those intractrable problems that refuse to conform to the theories. Here he counts down the 13 strangest.


1. MOST OF THE UNIVERSE IS MISSING

We can only account for 4 per cent of the cosmos

If you’re wondering what the LHC might do for you, how’s 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. Watch this space.

I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.

In Liverpool it is only 1.5% and that is because it is up on bricks.
