Questions No One Know The Answers To

Do you know the Answers these questions?

By MarcosOPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

During a typical day at school, countless hours are dedicated to learning the answers to questions. However, let’s shift our focus to the opposite—questions whose answers remain unknown. As a young boy, I often pondered a multitude of mysteries. What would it be like to experience life as a dog? Do fish or insects feel pain? Was the Big Bang merely a fortuitous occurrence? And does a divine entity exist? If so, how can we be so certain of its gender? Why do innocent beings endure unimaginable suffering? Is there a predetermined plan for my life? Is the future unwritten, or is it already scripted beyond our perception? Moreover, do we possess free will? Who am I, fundamentally? Am I merely a biological machine? And if so, why do I possess consciousness? What precisely is consciousness? Could robots one day attain consciousness? As a child, I anticipated being provided with answers to these questions eventually, assuming that someone must possess the knowledge. However, to my surprise, no one holds all the answers. These questions, in fact, perplex me now more than ever. Nonetheless, delving into them is exhilarating as it leads us to the precipice of knowledge, with the potential for unexpected discoveries. Let us commence this series with two questions that elude any definitive answers on Earth: How many universes exist? And why haven’t we encountered evidence of extraterrestrial life?During a typical day at school, countless hours are dedicated to learning the answers to questions.
