Maailmassa on monia kiehtovia kysymyksiä, joihin ei vielä ole saatu vastausta. Kukaan ei tiedä, miksi universumi on vinksallaan, mikä on tupsupipojen alkuperäinen tarkoitus tai miksi lehmä toimii kuin kompassi. Tai minne vuoriston uumeniin kätkeytyy se kamera, joka voisi ratkaista sata vuotta vanhan arvoituksen. Tieteilijät tekevät jatkuvasti löytöjä ja ratkovat avoimia kysymyksiä mitä ihmeellisimmillä tavoilla. Siitä huolimatta on asioita, jotka jäävät ikuisiksi mysteereiksi, sekä salaisuuksia, joita ei kaikille kerrota. Niin, ja on toki myös asioita, joita emme edes halua tietää... Suositun lasten tietokirjasarjan uusin osa esittelee 100 uskomatonta juttua: faktoja, kutkuttavia kysymyksiä ja muutaman huijauksenkin, joihin tiedemiehet ovat haksahtaneet. Mitä enemmän tiedämme, sitä paremmin ymmärrämme, kuinka paljon on sellaista, mistä meillä ei ole aavistustakaan.
