Perhaps needs a little more detail as to what you're asking. What do you mean by 'shouldn't'?

What do scientist's know that they shouldn't know? Meaning that scientists are bound to discover things or find things out that others don't want you to know. What though?

Well, one that springs to mind because I have an interest, is the age of the sphinx. There is a massive misdirection/cover-up going on over the subject of egyptian & other monuments/cities.
A team of scientists, across a range of specialties, di a study of the sphinx & are convinced it was weathered over a long period by rain! This was before the casing stones were added to the more eroded areas, because the inside sides of the casing stones have been carved to fit the erosion.
the last time egypt had rains that could do the job was about 9000BC.
This makes a mockery of the established view of civilised history.

This pertains very little to the original topic, but rather to what journyman said.
Ever read the book Fingerprints of the Gods? If you are into archaeology, definitely pick it up. I actually haven't read it (yeah, I know, I shouldn't be recommending books I haven't even read), but I have read parts of it and know the basic theory that the author is teaching. He is giving evidence to support the existence of a highly sophisticated society that predates all the major societies of the ancient world. Sort of Atlantean I suppose.
There is a large portion about the pyramids, and the author's theories on them. He believes that they are not tombs, as most people think, but rather some sort of time capsule meant to give future civilizations some message. He also believes that they were not created by Egyptians, but rather some earlier society. There are only two cranes in the world today that could lift one of those blocks. He goes on to disprove the major theories of how the pyramids were built.
The author also tells of how the Mayan calandar is far too accurate to have been made by a civilization that hadn't even thought up the wheel, and that the Aztecs made sculptures of very African looking men.
Anyway, it is a fascinating book, and I plan to read it cover to cover as soon as I get the chance.

How did we get onto archeology? I asked about scientists. I know Archeology is a form of science (I think) but I meant technological and information science. mmhmm archeology is an information science....you know what I mean!

[ot:56bb13dde4]That's one I have read & own, among others. For mine, there is enough evidence to prove the case several times over.
It's Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock.
You might also try, Thoth, Architect of the Universe, by Ralph Ellis, and Robert Bauval's, The Orion Mystery & Keeper of Genesis.[/ot:56bb13dde4]

Note the fair warning.
Sorry, I'm a sucker for archaeology and history, science means very little to me.

It means very little to me too I'd much rather learn about history and religion but I need just this one time to learn about stuff scientists might know but shouldnt. Just fictionally this is. Doesn't have to be real.

The guys who did the study were geologists, climatologists, archaeologists & paleo-versions of the same.
It was straight science that promptly got rejected by mainstream academia. Seems to me it fits, but if not, perhaps you could explain more what you had in mind. It would appear you're aiming for something specific rather than the general question stated.

Possibly life forms on other planets?
The nature of the Earth's core, so as to be able to detonate the whole planet like an a-bomb?
How about cloning so they could make three Osama bin Ladens?
Or the presence of an asteroid that will destroy Earth?
I have no idea if that's what you're looking for, but those were just off the top of my head.

I'm talking about conspiracy stuff. Stuff that we really reeaaaaaaallllllyyyyy shouldnt know. But the sorta conspiracy (possibly scientific) that a scientist would discover.
NB: When people hear conspiracy they tend to think aliens. Please, dont think aliens.
