Before that, let’s understand the definition of an unanswerable question and how to answer unanswerable questions.

What is an unanswerable question?

 An unanswerable question is a question that can never be answered, or the answer to which is not known yet.

It is also known as a non-answerable question as it cannot be answered in any way by using our knowledge and reasoning abilities.

This type of question may be used to ponder the nature of existence or to have conversations in order to build connection with others in social situations.

In the case of conversation, it is a rhetorical device used to make the speaker seem smarter than he or she really is.

The speaker may also use an unanswerable question to show off his/her knowledge to the listeners.

How to answer unanswerable questions?

The best way to answer unanswerable questions is by finding out by reflecting on the reality of existence. And by observing what the real world has to say about them.

You can also look up or investigate relevant information about the topic in any relevant book or research material available on the internet.

Answering an unanswerable question requires knowledge and skill, but it can also be useful if you want to appear more intelligent than your opponent in an argument.

However, if you cannot come up with a reasonable explanation for why the question can’t be answered in the first place, then it’s often acceptable to offer a guess as to what might be causing it.

What are some unanswerable questions?

There are questions that can never be answered. These are called unanswerable questions. Some of the most popular unanswerable questions include:

1. What is the meaning of life?

2. Is there a god?

Unanswerable questions

Here is a list of unanswerable questions with answers

1. What is the universe expanding into?

Universe is a baffling design. It just messes with our heads with its mind-blowing creation. Scientists can argue and agree and debate on the speeding of universe expansion.

But it’s the existence alone that knows the answer and the universe will keep on expanding, but no one can answer and no more questions asked.

2. How is life on earth going to become extinct?

The current level of destruction to our planet may mean that life will soon be impossible.

The effects of climate change, pollution and habitat loss could make human beings extinct within 100 years if nothing changes or drastically improves. But who knows, how exactly the world is going to end?

3. What is our place in an infinite universe?

If we just look at distant stars, planets and constellations it will look like there’s endless space where billions of stars are scattered.

4. What is the ultimate fate of the universe?

Science only confirms that our universe will keep on expanding and galaxies will further move away from each other but what would happen when they run out of energy? Will they turn into dark energy again? 

There’s only a hypothesis of what would happen when even galaxies die out. It is predicted that there are approximately 200 billion trillion stars in the universe. Or, to put it another way, 200 sextillion, which is a huge amount, so how many more galaxies and constellations do we have out there?

5. Who started out the Big Bang Theory?

The Big Bang Theory was not really created by any person but the theory itself was originally formalized by Belgian Catholic priest, theoretical physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and professor of physics Georges Lemaître.
