Some phenomena in the world aren’t easy to explain with our current technology or body of knowledge. Not all mysteries stem from our tendency for secrecy, however. This desire to group and explain things constantly conflicts with our equally strong desire to have some secrecy or privacy. We like a little mystery because it triggers our natural curiosity, but then we like finding a solution or explanation because the unknown is something to be feared and protected from.
It's part of the human condition to want to categorize things and create order in our lives and communities, according to New Scientist.
We all love a good mystery, but it can really get under our skin when we don't eventually figure out the truth.
