5 Baffling Mysteries About the Universe

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

How close are scientists to understanding the universe? Big discoveries bring us closer to understanding, but they also open up more questions that we previously didn't know to ask. This video includes explanations of what we don't know about neutrinos, matter/antimatter, dark matter, lithium-7, and the axis of evil. Yes, in this resource axis of evil is a physics term not a political one.
