You would think that finding this "unknown" material would prompt the scientific community to find out what it is, that it can be used for and if it can be manufactured somehow.
Its almost as if the routine is; investigate, then shrug, then nothing. I would think discovering a new element would be something a scientist would love to find. Why is this not so?
maybe because their afraid (this goes both was for skeptics and believers)
its possible its something that some do not want to find, because they could be proven wrong. you know. theyd rather not know what it is, instead of being proven wrong, and their beliefs wrong. so just say 'well, i dunno what it is'
imo
