Please enter the forth coming idea into your minds... I believe that there are many unanswerable questions in the world. There are many answerable ones. Sometimes it is enjoyable to society to ask question unto which the answers are obvious... Or not obvious at all. For instance: Why are lemons yellow? Why do animals have fur? Why is water wet, and why is it so necessary? Does toe jam really exist? It is rather fun to ask random questions such as this... I am sure many people would be interested to hear your questions. They can be about anything... Just please stick to the rules, and remember this is a Family Friendly site! It is rather fun to ask random questions such as this...

Terrina : How about these silly 3 questions : 1. How do blind people know when they are done wiping? 2. If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes? 3. Do files get embarrassed when they get unzipped? How about these silly 3 questions : 1. How do blind people know when they are done wiping? 2.

Oh, okay. Unanswerable questions. 1. Does the universe have a beginning or an end? 2. Is there truly a point to doing anything in life if it will end and all memories decay? 3. Will time travel ever in the future be possible if we haven't seen signs in the past? 1. Does the universe have a beginning or an end? 2.

1. pass 2. "Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it." 3. If we were to travel at the speed of light away from the earth, wait then travel back at the same speed it has been theorised that more time would have passed on earth than that which passed for the people in space therefore time travel is only possible in one direction 1. Why am I me and not you? 2. Why is it me that can't sing? Couldn't it just be that the whole world is tone deaf? 3. Why are love and hate so close. 1. pass 2.

A personal favorite of mine that my friend asked me one day after she got off of work; it will forever haunt me until I know the answer: Do ducks dream? If they do, do they dream about bread? Do ducks dream? If they do, do they dream about bread? |

Is there really a center of the universe.. If so is it ever possible for humans to reach it? Can we go in space as far as we want or is there is that physically impossible? Why are lemons yellow?

Terrina : Are we allowed to try and answer any questions we find interesting? Angel_Raphael90 : We didn't come from the monkeys and apes of today. We share a common ancestor, which inhabited different places and evolved differently depending on the place. Different traits are required to survive in different environments. Humans are on a completely different branch than monkeys on the tree of evolution, but we both started from the same organism. Here are my questions: -Does Guile's theme truly go with everything? -How much wood can a woodchuck actually chuck? -If there is way more than enough food to feed everyone on earth, then why do a billion people go hungry every day?

epic-san : Exactly. If you think about it, every creature is evolving in minute ways through generations. Monkeys and Apes are also the result of evolution, so they're no less "evolved" than we are. The only difference is that our evolution favored intelligence to escape predators, while their evolution favored agility to climb trees to escape attackers. 1. Isn't life a more perfect robot? 2. What's the point of arguing over religion or between religions, since it's faith based? 3. Would the best way of prolonging life be to speed up our perceptions and thoughts or increase longevity of the body and mind?

My questions are usually: What is my purpose in life? Will my kind of people (Autistics) ever been accepted into society and have equal opportunities in life? These are the questions I often ask myself. What is my purpose in life? Will my kind of people (Autistics) ever been accepted into society and have equal opportunities in life?

Are diet pills like for losing weight bad for you.. do they even work? I don't think I will ever try one. Why are apples so good with peanut butter? Why do people argue about things if it isn't going to change their mind about it or even let them think twice about what the person is saying? Is anybody ever going to see the truth behind a lie or most lies I guess I could say? How do people come up with names of buildings and objects so easily? Is it just imagination?

Answering a few "unanswerable" questions that I think I can answer: (Since the creator said we could) 1. "Why are apples so good with peanut butter?" I think that apples work so well with peanut butter because one dries the mouth and the other is really juicy. One is sweet and the other is bitter. Thus, they complement each other in several respects (regarding tasting), so there's no wonder they work together. It's like a spin-off of how peanut butter complements jelly. 2. "Why do people argue about things if it isn't going to change their mind about it or even let them think twice about what the person is saying?" People argue about things without intent because they want to justify their opinions in their minds. This means they're closed to new opinions and ideas. On the specified topic, they won't grow intellectually and will retain arguments fit for a younger child when they're much older. It's not right to presume we are right on a topic. A lot of times I think about viewpoints I disagree with but what other people take for granted as true. It's happened on here when the topic of religion and other debatable topics have arisen. In those scenarios, I distance myself from current knowledge and imagine how one could possibly follow their viewpoints. Often, I end up knowing that their assumptions are based on a lack of thinking. Other times, however, I realize that I'm taking my view point on the topic for granted and that I need to think about it more before making an opinion. 3. "Is anybody ever going to see the truth behind a lie or most lies I guess I could say?" Lies usually have a funny way of showing themselves over time. Often, the pain of keeping certain lies make a Some lies have such good intentions behind them that the guilt is lost. Criminals often try to use this fact to make themselves feel less guilty about crimes. Of course, if your lie prevented someone from committing suicide or harming others, you wouldn't ever feel bad about it. Those types of lies may never come out and you'll not even think about it as a lie. (By the time you've come to the point in your mind where you're calling a statement you've said a "lie", chances are that you're not keeping that secret for much longer) 5. "How do people come up with names of buildings and objects so easily? Is it just imagination?" Names are often based on past experiences and memories. If you've seen the name before elsewhere and it was cool, you might think it's a good idea to use it again. Other times you're using the names of family members or things close to you, so it's not that hard. That's why so many kids are named after grandparents and relatives. It's hard to think about a unique name, so Jacob Jr. might be the final name. So, to answer your question. Chances are that it's not imagination and mostly experience. 6. "If there is way more than enough food to feed everyone on earth, then why do a billion people go hungry every day?" This is a simple one. There's lot's of food, but poor distribution of food. 7. "Why am I me and not you?" Your premise may be wrong in itself. How do you know that you are you? Your brain makes all decisions for you based on past experiences and bodily needs, so "you" may just be along for the ride. 8. "What is our purpose in life" That's like asking, "What is my cat's favorite food" when you might not even have a cat. The basic question, the one that should be asked before What's our purpose, is "Do we have a purpose in life". Since we can't answer that, we cannot proceed to your question. I don't think there's any purpose. That makes a lot of implications that I'm getting used to, but it seems more reasonable to me and whether something is reasonable is subjectively based, so others may have different answers that "feel right" to them. 9. "How much wood can a woodchuck actually chuck?" Average wood = (strength Factor of Woodchuck) * (1 wood piece per minute) * (minutes worked per day). Instantaneous wood = integral of {graph of amount of wood chucked over time}. If I'm to solve this like a Fermi question: 73,000. My questions 1. If existence itself lacks meaning, then can we truly judge anything knowing in the end it doesn't matter? 2. If someone had such powerful visualization and sensory thinking skills as to create an entire life in their mind, would it be fair to say that world doesn't exist? 3. Since black holes are so called "rips" in the space-time continuum, what do you think would happen if one survived the trip. You'd be essentially mass-less at the center, but would you be falling out of the universe itself? 1. "Why are apples so good with peanut butter?" I think that apples work so well with peanut butter because one dries the mouth and the other is really juicy. One is sweet and the other is bitter.
