DEBRA KELLY JANUARY 27, 2015

Some days, it seems like there are no mysteries left in our everyday lives. Our diets are

dissected to the smallest element, there are countless books on how to raise our children

and train our pets, and if we have questions, we can just turn to the Internet to find the

answer. However, there are a few things left in our everyday lives that still have the experts

stumped.

Hiccups are weird things, and we’re not even sure why they happen. There’s no real,

practical reason for a hiccup, and we don’t know why all of our tried-and-true hiccup cures

work. Everyone has their favorites, from eating a spoonful of sugar to holding your breath

until the hiccups stop. There are so many ways to get rid of a hiccup that no matter where

you are when you get it, someone will have a suggestion for making it stop. It turns out

that none of the cures are guaranteed to work for everyone, and there’s not much scientific

support for any of them. As for the ones that do work? Well, don’t really know why they do.

Hiccups are essentially caused by the diaphragm having a spasm, which can be caused

by anything from laughing to medication. Stopping a hiccup seems to rely on a couple of

different things. Raising the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood seems to have some

success in stopping hiccups, but no one’s sure what that has to do with the process. Other

somewhat successful remedies work by impacting the vagus nerve, which is involved in

making sure we don’t try to breathe and swallow at the same time. We don’t know what

that has to do with the diaphragm, either, but that seems to be why things like pressing on

your eyes or pulling your ear help—those actions stimulate the nerve. Another method

that’s been found to cure hiccups is, bizarrely, rectal massage. Used as a cure for an

extreme case of the hiccups in 1988, its success was once again traced back to stimulating

the same vagus nerve.

9Why Are Moths Attracted To Light?

We’ve all watched it happen, and chances are we never really thought about it that much.

Bugs—particularly moths—are attracted to light, but why? It’s the principle that many bug

traps and zappers are built on, but no one knows just why it works. There are a couple of

different theories about why moths are attracted to light, but there’s not even one that

Page 4: 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things - Listverse

10/1/2015 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things ­ Listverse

http://listverse.com/2015/01/27/10­details­we­dont­know­about­everyday­things/ 4/23

stands out as a front-runner. In fact, there are pretty convincing arguments against all of

them.

One theory suggests that only man-made, artificial lights attract bugs. Presumably, there’s

something different about artificial light that interferes with the bugs’ ability to navigate,

but we don’t even know whether bugs are using light as a navigational aid. It’s also been

suggested that moths may be confusing the frequencies of artificial lights with

pheromones given off by willing mates, but there’s nothing to really support that theory,

either.

Researchers have found that it’s a pretty bizarre behavior, specifically because it seems to

cross species but also works against the survival of those species. In spite of the kamikaze

behavior that could be expected to discourage the practice—or at least kill off the part of

the population that does it—it’s still a major behavior pattern.

8What Is Foam?

Every time you wash dishes or lather your hands with soap, you’re creating one of the most

mysterious household compounds: foam. Foam isn’t classified as a liquid, a gas, or a solid,

Page 5: 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things - Listverse

10/1/2015 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things ­ Listverse

http://listverse.com/2015/01/27/10­details­we­dont­know­about­everyday­things/ 5/23

but it’s all three at the same time. Different substances form different types of foam that

all seem to work differently. There’s not much that’s actually known about the physics of

what forms this weird cohesion of matter states or how we can predict what type of foam

will be formed from what type of substance.

Most foams are made up primarily of gas in between bits of liquid, but there’s no

mathematical formula for discovering how a foam will behave. Some foams are stiff, like

shaving foams, while others are delicate, like soap bubbles. The size of the bubbles doesn’t

seem to have any impact on how the foam behaves. The reason we haven’t been able to

learn much about foam is a weird one.

Foam bubbles are inherently oddly shaped. The critical point of foam, defined as the

moment when all the bubbles in the foam are perfectly spherical, is impossible to

achieve on Earth because of gravity. Gravity pulls foam bubbles downward, and its

impact is so great that even in a layer of foam just a few centimeters thick, there’s a

definite difference between the shape of the bubbles at the bottom and the top. This

makes it impossible to perform experiments on foam without changing what it is.

7Why Does Static Electricity Happen?

Page 6: 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things - Listverse

10/1/2015 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things ­ Listverse

http://listverse.com/2015/01/27/10­details­we­dont­know­about­everyday­things/ 6/23

It’s a mildly annoying occurrence that usually happens when the weather’s dry and you’ve

done something like walking across a carpet. While we know how static electricity builds

up, the question of why it happens is a surprisingly complicated one, with a weirdly

elusive answer.

The problem in finding an explanation happens when one of the materials involved is,

theoretically, an electrical insulator. There’s no confirmed reason for why an electrical

charge should be transferred from or to an insulating material; an insulator, by nature,

shouldn’t allow this. The problem is further complicated by the fact that different materials

and conductors have different mechanisms for the cause, buildup, and transfer of static

electricity.

A static electric shock can also occur between two objects made of identical materials,

which makes the phenomenon even stranger. In theory, the difference in properties should

be what makes the electrical charge jump from one material to the other, but experiments

performed by rubbing two identical materials together have shown that static electricity

still passed between the two objects. Currently, there are no satisfactory answers from the

fields of physics or chemistry, suggesting that it’s actually a way more complicated

phenomenon than either can account for on their own.

6Where Did Dogs Come From?

They’re some of our most constant companions, but there’s a lot we don’t know about

when dogs were first domesticated, where the process happened, and what the first

domesticated dogs even were.

Studies on the subject have proven highly inconclusive, with estimates for the first

domestication ranging from 9,000–34,000 years ago. Not only is that a huge gap, but it

leaves a lot of unanswered questions as to how it happened. Dogs on the most distant

end of that scale would have been associating with hunter-gatherer groups, while the more

recent instances of domestication would have been happening when the human race had

already discovered agriculture and settled into a more sedentary lifestyle.

Researchers from the University of Turku have isolated DNA from some of man’s early

canine companions with some staggering implications. Some of the oldest DNA

samples were taken from dogs that were living alongside humans around 33,000 years ago

and were traced through to dogs that lived in Greenland about 1,000 years ago. But this

particular DNA seems to be unrelated to today’s dogs, and it’s now suggested that some of

Page 8: 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things - Listverse

10/1/2015 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things ­ Listverse

http://listverse.com/2015/01/27/10­details­we­dont­know­about­everyday­things/ 8/23

the “dogs” that were domesticated for thousands of years weren’t the same as today’s

dogs and were instead a sort of sister species. Ancient dogs have been found in Europe, the

Middle East, and Asia, but it’s still not known if the idea of domestication spread from one

area to the other or occurred independently in all areas. If it did, it’s not known who was

first.

5We’re Not Really Sure What Colors Are

Our world is filled with color, and for the most part, we’ve reached a consensus on what

certain colors are. It’s easy enough to identify a banana as yellow and broccoli as green, but

what’s to say one person’s image of green is the same as another’s? Not much, and it turns

out that science really isn’t sure that we’re all seeing the same colors in the same way. The

idea seems odd, especially considering that the mechanism that allows us to see colors is

essentially the same: Light enters our eyes, it’s interpreted there, and then it’s processed by

our brain. But it turns out that it’s not as clear-cut as that, and the idea of colorblindness is

only part of the reason.

Page 9: 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things - Listverse

10/1/2015 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things ­ Listverse

http://listverse.com/2015/01/27/10­details­we­dont­know­about­everyday­things/ 9/23

We know that different people have different numbers of photo receptors in their eyes.

People who are colorblind have weak receptors, most commonly suffering from a deficiency

in the ability to detect green (or variations of green). But there’s another end to the

spectrum, too: people who are theoretically incredibly sensitive to color. Tetrachromats

can see more colors than exist in the normal color spectrum. To them, the rest of us appear

colorblind.

But that’s a pretty extreme example, and experiments suggest that the way we see colors

can differ considerably between individuals. When monkeys whose photoreceptors would

normally only allow them to see blue and yellow were infected with a virus that changed

the type of color their eyes could interpret, they demonstrated the ability to see these

new colors. They recognized that the colors were different, but we have no way of telling

what their brains were interpreting the colors as. They were essentially seeing new colors

that their eyes had never had the ability to process, making the link between the eyes

receiving colors and the brain processing colors even more vague.

4Is A Virus Alive?

Page 10: 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things - Listverse

10/1/2015 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things ­ Listverse

http://listverse.com/2015/01/27/10­details­we­dont­know­about­everyday­things/ 10/23

For the most part, everything falls into one of two categories: It’s either alive, or it isn’t. Ever

since scientists have been aware of the existence of viruses, they’ve been unable to

successfully determine which of these two very distinct groups viruses belong to.

Originally, viruses were thought to be alive. The scientists that discovered viruses saw

them as organisms that could spread and multiply, suggesting that they were very clearly

alive. By the 1930s, however, researchers from the Rockefeller University were finally able

to get a look into what was going on inside a virus. Since it didn’t have any metabolic

functions, they decided that it wasn’t alive.

But it’s far from clear, as further research by the same team discovered that a virus

also exhibits one of the key components of life: reproduction. It not only makes more of

itself but creates more proteins and internal chemical structures. Viruses have also been

known to change over time, evolve, and carry on processes like repairing damage done to

them. All this seems to indicate they’re alive, unless nonliving organisms are also capable

of evolution, which seems like a pretty odd thing to even suggest.

Viruses are also unable to carry on these processes outside of a living host, leading some to

suggest that they’re functioning on something along the lines of life borrowed from

another organism—but that doesn’t make the answer any more clear.

3Why Do We Age (And At Different Rates)?

Page 11: 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things - Listverse

10/1/2015 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things ­ Listverse

http://listverse.com/2015/01/27/10­details­we­dont­know­about­everyday­things/ 11/23

Every day we deal with the problems of aging, ever so gradually. We’ve been doing it for as

long as we’ve been a species, but we have no idea what actually causes it. We know what

happens to cells as they age: Muscles lose mass, tissues become more or less rigid,

connective tissues stiffen, and new cells become less and less efficient at absorbing

nutrients and removing waste. We just don’t know why.

There are a couple of different theories on why cells age the way they do, including the idea

that the aging process is a by-product of the body’s waste materials, or that it’s because of

damage done by external factors like ultraviolet rays. It’s also been suggested that we’re

simply genetically programmed to age, and how fast or how well we age has nothing to

do with external factors.

Even more bizarre is the question of why we age at different rates. Looking at the

methylation patterns of cells gives an indication of how old they are, and all of our cells age

at different rates. Female breast tissue, for example, shows patterns and changes that

indicate it’s about three years older than a person’s calendar age. At the other end of the

spectrum are heart cells, which age more slowly and can actually test as being several

Page 12: 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things - Listverse

10/1/2015 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things ­ Listverse

http://listverse.com/2015/01/27/10­details­we­dont­know­about­everyday­things/ 12/23

years younger than the body as a whole. Just why the body ages as it does—and why it

ages at all—is nowhere near being completely understood.

2What Causes A Migraine?

Those who are prone to migraines know what it feels like to have one starting. It’s a special

kind of headache that goes way beyond just pain and can include nausea, vomiting, painful

sensitivity to stimuli, blurred vision, and even loss of consciousness. What we’re not

sure about is why some people get migraines and why there are so many different triggers

for them. Some people can have migraines that are triggered by anything from a change in

the weather to bright sunlight and physical exertion. For some, it’s sensory—migraine can

be triggered by a certain smell or exposure to a certain food, drink, or food additive.

Even those sensitive to certain triggers don’t always get migraines when they’re exposed to

those triggers, and they can also come down with a migraine without being exposed. Just

why it happens to people isn’t known, although it’s suspected that there’s a genetic

connection, because migraines seems to run in families. One suggestion is that people

susceptible to migraines have parts of their brains that are more sensitive to certain

Page 13: 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things - Listverse

10/1/2015 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things ­ Listverse

http://listverse.com/2015/01/27/10­details­we­dont­know­about­everyday­things/ 13/23

stimuli than others or that migraines happen in response to certain changes in brain

chemistry. So far, though, there have been no concrete findings regarding just what

causes migraines in some people and not others.

1Why Do Allergies Come And Go?

Living with allergies can be a nightmare. From not being able to indulge in ice cream or not

being able to own a pet to feeling like you’re always on the verge of coming down with the

flu, allergies can make life difficult. Many people suffer from allergies, which makes it even

more surprising that we have no idea why they have a tendency to come and go, seemingly

at random. Almost any kind of allergy can disappear—and reappear—over time. Some

people may find their symptoms are occasionally greatly reduced, even if they don’t go

away completely.

Peanut allergies are among the most potentially dangerous types of allergies, and it’s

recently been discovered that about 20 percent of people who have peanut allergies as

children lose their sensitivity as they get older. As much as 80 percent of children with

milk allergies outgrow their sensitivity by the time they’re in their teens, and those allergic

Page 14: 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things - Listverse

10/1/2015 10 Details We Don't Know About Everyday Things ­ Listverse

http://listverse.com/2015/01/27/10­details­we­dont­know­about­everyday­things/ 14/23

to eggs will also commonly outgrow the allergy. Blood tests can tell if an allergy is going

away, and sometimes desensitization done with small amounts of food or food prepared in

a certain way can help—but this should always be done under the supervision of a doctor.

Even stranger is the fact that kids today are much more likely to outgrow their allergies

than the kids of the last generation, which raises more questions than it answers.

Bosses are a known cause of migranes.I once had a dream that my Mom told me to drink hot water to cure hiccups. When I askedher about it she looked at me as if I had lost what little sense I had. Next time I had thehiccups I tried drinking hot water and sure enough it didn't work. So much for my dreams.

A lot of things to think about, very interesting list. Here's another one.

Why Do We Sleep?

While we do know that the human body is regulated by a circadian clock that keepshumans on a sleep/wake cycle, we don’t really know why. Sleep is the time when ourbodies repair tissues and perform other maintenance activities, and we spend nearly a thirdof our lives snoozing. Some other organisms don’t need to sleep at all, so why do we?There are a few different ideas out there, but none seem to solidly answer the question.Some theorize that animals who are able to sleep have evolved the ability to hide frompredators, while others who need to remain more alert are able to rest and regenerate inother ways without fully going to sleep. While scientists don’t quite know why we do it, theyare starting to learn more about why it is important, and how sleep impacts important things
