Nature abhors a vacuum, and the same can be said about mysteries of science. Whenever some phenomenon seems inexplicable—at least, with the theories and laws that make up the foundation of our knowledge—a multitude of hypotheses quickly fill the void. This is particularly true in physics, where new observations have spawned ideas related to chaos theory, string theory, and cold dark matter theory (among many others). But the same can also be said for the scientific world of the conscious mind.
