There are decent explanations for all forces. Quantum electrodynamics is perfect to within one part in 10^15 from what I last heard. The nuclear strong and weak forces are explained fairly well too (carrier particles are known etc). Gravity is kind of explained in that we are familiar with it's mechanics for the most part, but we can't find a graviton, nor can we explain it's near instantaneous speed...

no you didn't.

Infinity is easily explained. To explain it: NOW. there isnt really a past or future, but a present. I mean, we remember events in order that they happened and expect to happen, but there really is no overall difference to anything with out a conciousness. To go further, you can keep deviding a number and always get a smaller number, and vise versa. So there is no end to this course (infinity) if you look at it that way. Its really just simple. It seems mind boggeling because we dont usually think about it, but we are infact, in the midsts of eterntiy.
Oh, and the Big Bang is still an unproven theory.
>Science cannot explain Love.

It promotes survival. Which aspect, specifically?
>also Science cant explain how to create a new color.
There are no "new" colors. All are of a specific wavelength or a combination of others.
What is meant by "science"?
If the correct answers are not popular or accepted, it should not be assumed that no one knows.
Nothing is known. Answers are only useful for one to sufficiently carry out a specific task, until that solution is disproven in a few years.
Science has explained nothing.
Love does not exist.

I don't quite get your logic. What are you trying to say?

So your contradiction of what I said was no more than unfounded vengeance?
I'd like to see some proof that love exists.

Well, when someone is in love one can measure certain chemicals in the body. There exists a state that the body can be in where certain combinations of chemicals are present. One could call this the scientific definition of love.
Apparently, the chemistry changes over time. The first phase lasts between 18 months and 3 years, releasing a high concentration of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin among other chemicals. In the second phase two hormones are released by the nervous system. Vasopressin is released in those who feel a long term commitment. Family love releases oxytocin, strongest in a mother at child birth.
In addition, areas of the brain such as the anterior cingulate, medial insula, putamen and caudate nucleus also show signs when someone is in love.
I don't know a lot about medicine, but I recalled reading some articles about it so dug up some of the information.
Option one:
What happens in a system below Absolute Zero?
Option two:
A famous quote: "The moment you can give me a defintion of any process, I can teach a computer to do the same thing." (Something to that effect.) How about defining, let alone explaining, the process of thought?
Option three:
256-bit encryption is, even in theory, unbreakable if implemented correctly. The basic idea is, even in a 100% machine, just changing one bit requires a fixed amount of energy (don't remember the name attached to this). At 256 bits, there isn't enough energy in the universe to try every possible combination. Why is this constant so significant? Why does it exist at all???

That could just as easily be anxiety or gas.
Anything can cause chemical changes in the body.
>What happens in a system below Absolute Zero?
There is no below absolute zero. Temperature of some unnamed mass may only be lowered by having its energy absorbed by something cooler than it. You can't take more than 100% of a whole.
>How about defining, let alone explaining, the process of thought?
It can't be defined without first being explained. What would you call thought?
What's rattling in your head is no more than a mass of molecules directly affected by those which came before them.
I think it is a common misconception that there is something "magical" about human thought, yet any machine could be programmed to do this.
Just because you couldn't do it, doesn't mean it can't be done.
>256-bit encryption is, even in theory, unbreakable if implemented correctly.
No.
And computational power is not proportional to energy by any means. This is restricted to the efficiency of the machine.

Experimental science can not explain any effect that is distroyed just by measuring it. In other words our perception abilities (enhanced by our tools) may not be able to verify how something happens and so any theory that explains it, can't really be proven. (Quantum physics can probably lend an example here).
So, yes, we may be limited to our human selvs.
Another type of processes that can not be explained by science are those that it would take 'forever' to measure. You can imagine such very complicated problems, I guess.
But the teacher probably wanted to ask for some specific, unexplained scientific problem (one that can be explained but isn't just yet). And I would say:
Where is the limit to divideing matter into smaller and smaller particles, if there is such a limit, and what would we end up with if there was? We are working on it, but it has not been explained yet (we need bigger accelerators etc.)

is this true?

I think its just a movie. I searched google and found nothing about 21 grams except in reference to the film. Take it with a grain of salt.

Life is a concept. It has no mass.
>what makes life?
An organism reacts with its environment, grows, reproduces.
If you're missing the first part, I suppose you could be "brain dead" or "clinically dead."

I think the teacher is looking for unexplained things like the Philedelphia Project. Things were unexplained magnetic feilds are created, or unexplained currents are created.(strange teleportation? parallel universes) He probably isen't looking for "obviously" unexplainable things such as "prove you exist" or anything like that, but simply unexplained phenomemon. Look into the Philedelphia Project, or other things like that, that is probably what he wants. (exuse my spelling, if you can read it, it's good enoughf for me.)
