Just because scientists can’t understand something doesn’t make it “mysterious.”

Hmm. What would be a better definition for "mysterious," if not "something not understood?"
I think a common distinction is that a mystery is something that isn't just unknown, but something that's not possible to be known. Beyond human ability to know. It's used in religious contexts.
