Our biggest unanswered questions?

Westernworld.

I know one is a physics one ,a unifying theory of some sort

Life on other planets?

Life after death?

What in the future?

Can we save our planet?

Del2005

With billions of stars and multiple planets around most it would be impossible for some type of life on other planets.


The Earth will be fine no matter what we do. Can we keep it so animals can survive is a different story. We can stop the green house gases but there are plenty of megalomaniacs with access to weapons which can destroy the environment or there could be a massive natural disaster that wipes us out. We've had plenty of close calls from asteroids and comets that we have only seen with relatively short notice and even if we have decades we might not be able to stop them hitting us.

Most of the responses here are not even remotely funny.

Some of the big unanswered questions are around a unified theory of gravity (theory of everything ), reconciling quantum mechanics with relativity, interplanetary travel, and lots about mapping the brain and time travel. We are still years off answering most of them. The environment and saving it is not unanswered, it’s something we know how to fix but can be hard to implement due to political lobbying by vested interests such as oil, coal, timber and plastics industries.

Life after death is people clinging onto hope and not wanting this to be “it”.

Hahah so funny, I hate that sort of irreverent anti-intellectual humor to good topics. Most of the responses remind me of how your man Rory Stories would reply to such a question

How come there are so many incredibly stupid people living in the US??? Was it part of some grand plan to have all the idiots all in one country but they didn’t expect the sheer amount of them when first hatching the plan??

There are incredibly stupid people everywhere. There are over 300 million Americans so if the average human IQ is 100, well there are a shed load of people below that number as well as above, so out of 300 million...

We're more exposed to American culture so see more of their morons. Of China or Russia's morons we see few.

Unlike a small nation and culture like Ireland where we tend to look outward, America is massive and has many sub cultures so fewer look outward. Plus those sub cultures have their own origin narratives that often don't match up to reality.

American basic education has been dumbed down over the last few decades, from one of the better ones to not. Remember it was god fearin' good old boys driving corvettes and pickups that put humans on the moon not so long ago.

Their culture has been dumbed down too. It long had to appeal to the simplistic and general because of so many different mostly non English speaking peoples who ended up in the place, hence slapstick tends to go over better than subtlety, whether you're selling comedy or goods. Everyone everywhere understands a pie in the face. That dumbing down has increased and intellectualism is viewed with suspicion.
