The world is full of mysteries, including our body, animals, and other things around us. Science has been solving many of these mysteries, however, it has still left many curiosities unanswered, such as why moths are attracted to light, why we age and where dogs came from. The following information might not satisfy your curiosity, but it might just make you ponder on them a little further!
 
1. Do hiccup cures work?

One of the top asked questions about the human body is most definitely the phenomenon of hiccups. We have been told that hiccups are triggered due to a spasm in the diaphragm, which results in bothersome involuntary gulps we cannot control. There are several suggested hiccup cures we sometimes find ourselves trying, to desperately get rid of our hiccups' persistent annoyance, and these include eating a spoonful of sugar or holding your breath, amongst countless others. Oddly enough, some of them actually do work, with the use of methods such as increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood, getting a rectal massage, and stimulating the 'vagus nerve' by pressing the eyes or pulling the ears. Although some methods have been proven to work, no one really knows the reason why.

Clearly, bugs are attracted to light, especially moths. If you give this fact a bit of thought, you will realize how peculiar it really is. If light is not artificial, it is either coming from the sun or from a fire, two things that are logically unnatural to be attracted to them - so what in the nature of moths lends them such passionate interest in our lamps at night? According to scientific theories, this is in fact the only kind of light that attracts them. They suggest that there is something about artificial light that interferes with the insects' navigation abilities, and there might also be something in the light's frequencies that reminds them of the pheromones given off by potential mates. However, these are still merely suggestions.

Have you ever thought about the composition of foam? As science explains, foam is neither classified as a liquid, nor as a gas, and nor as a solid - but as the three of them at the same time. Presently, there's not enough evidence to give a clear explanation for its formation, however it has been suggested that most foams are made up of gas in between bits of liquid. Its behavior, on the other hand, remains an undiscovered mystery. What we know for sure is that we can distinguish between different types of foam - for instance, the foam that forms from your washing soap looks different from your shaving foam, the difference being in the stiffness. Other than that, we've got nothing apparently concrete we can learn from this weird, bubbly substance.
 
4. Why does static electricity happen?

Static electricity is the strange sensation you feel when you're walking on a carpeted floor, or grabbing a metal doorknob, in dry conditions. Although science has discovered how this energy is built, there is no definite reason for the transfer of the electrical charge to or from an insulating material. What is baffling is that, by nature, an insulator shouldn't allow for this to happen. Even two objects made of the same material, rubbed together, can trigger the charge to happen, which is strange given that scientifically speaking, it is the difference between materials that causes the electrical charge to occur. Can anyone possibly find an understandable explanation for this?

We've always known dogs as being man's domestic companion, and rightly so, this has been going on for 9,000-34,000 years. Have you ever thought of how this actually came to be? Where did our dogs really come from? There is something particularly queer about the connection of today's dogs and the dogs from the beginning of their domestication - scientific research has found that the DNA of both kinds are not related. This surprisingly suggests that the "dogs" that were domesticated 33,000 years ago are not the same as today'sdogs, but were a kind of 'sister species'. This leaves us with a great mystery in the history of dogs and their origin, which has some curious missing details we're unable to fill.
