Out of school lessons, we remember that the glass - it is a liquid, but is it? Scientists do not know exactly what the nature of the transition between the liquid and solid phases and glassy, ​​and what physical processes lead to the basic properties of the glass.

2. Why did the bike falls on its side? The design of the bike is quite simple, and it seems that has long understood how and why the two-wheeled vehicle maintains excellent stability. But not steer automatically when your side centrifugal force or the gyroscopic moment of the rotating wheel in this no blame has been tested and proven.

Researchers differ even in their opinion, what percentage of humanity is right-handed and left-handed some. It is generally believed that the majority (from 70% to 95%) - right-handed minority (5% to 30%) - a left-hander, and there is an indefinite number of people with full symmetry.





7. Why do we sleep? We sleep 36% of all life, but scientists do not know why. People tend to sleep, because it is in our genes, but why such a state emerged in the course of evolution - a mystery. In addition to warm-blooded animals (mammals and birds), none of these forms of living beings sleep there, and what are the benefits of sleep - is still unclear.
