- Archaeology isn't exactly easy, so it's pretty impressive how often we can figure things out about people that aren't around anymore. But that's not always possible, and some mysteries leave archaeologists puzzled for centuries. From Roman dodecahedrons to a field full of buried heads, here are five of the weirdest mysteries in archaeology that we may never solve.

- The Appalachian Mountains are some of the oldest geological features on earth. And they also hold fossils that tell us about some of the very earliest life forms that we'll ever manage to see in the fossil record. So how did these mountains manage to hang on to these precious fossils? The story lies in a billion-year long game of bumper cars, and in these plain-looking little rocks.

Bismuth crystals aren't just pretty to look at. If you can get pieces thin enough, they display something called the Anomalous Hall Effect. Physicists aren't entirely sure how they manage to do that, but that doesn't stop them from thinking up applications.

There are a lot of great debates in science, and a major one is when exactly humans reached the Americas. There's contentious footprints and wishy-washy stone tools, all of which has spurred some heated academic arguments. But the most controversial evidence called the Cerutti Mastodon suggests that, if it's real, humans may not have even been the first hominin species on our continent.

Have you ever listened to someone speaking a foreign language and thought "Wow they're speaking way faster than I do"? Well it's not all in your head because you don't understand what they're saying (It's also not because you just speak slower than average). Some languages really do tend to be spoken more quickly than others. And there might be a biological reason for it.

It's no secret that some people are bad at their jobs. But when those people are scientists, and their jobs are to publish papers about their work, well... Sometimes, bad papers hit the presses. These are a few stories about particularly bad papers, the reasons they were so awful, and what researchers do about bad science. From fraudulent food surveys to AI figures of rat genitals, these are just some of the worst papers of all time.

And not only did we learn more about what space travel can do to the human body, we also learned how those effects might vary depending on whether or not you're a professional astronaut.

In the 1970s, archaeologists discovered a strange grave in western Belgium, dating back to 100 CE or so. Unlike the 76 other graves, it actually had a skeleton inside it. But 50 years later, we learned it was even weirder, because that skeleton didn't belong to just one person, and most of the bones were way, way older than they should be.
