What would happen if a person fell into a black hole.
Physicists used to think you wouldn't notice you were falling into a black hole until you crossed its event horizon. But new calculations in 2012 suggest you'd hit a wall of fire instead and be burnt to a crisp (ouch). If either theory is true, some basic laws of physics are in trouble.

Why it takes more genes to make a tomato than a human.
Tomatoes have more than 30,000 genes, whereas humans have between 20,000 and 30,000.
This problem has existed in various guises over the years and used to be known as the C-value paradox. But in 2003 botanists decided to downgrade it to an "enigma" – it's still unexplained, though.
How the placebo effect works.
As long as you expect a pill to have an effect, it appears to – whether it is a real pill or a sugar-filled dummy. This is known as the placebo effect, and to make things even weirder it appears to still work even when you know you're taking a sugar pill.
Oh and it's not just pills – the placebo effect also works if you think you've had surgery but the crucial step is missed out. Yep.

If the Viking lander found life on Mars in the '70s.
Viking, sent to Mars in 1976, carried three experiments to test for life. One came up positive. But the other two experiments did not, so the positive result had to be dismissed.
But in 2012 a team of scientists re-examined the data using a new technique and challenged the no-life verdict. So the jury is out.
