Wonder Questions
The Question Collection
​People all over the planet are still trying to answer these questions

These questions* usually satisfy nobody.  Yet they remind us that ignorance - not knowing - is the natural state of mind for a research scientist.  Smart young people often hate to utter the words "I don't know." But scientists have to admit what we don't know all the time.  People who belive they know everything have neither looked for, nor stumbled upon, the boundary between what is known and what is unknown in the universe."

“Here’s the craziest thing about life, this is the thing that nobody really considers; you know as much about what life is all about as anybody who’s ever lived, ever.  That’s the craziest thing about us.  We’re all just kinda wandering through this going “‘You know what you’re doing?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Oh, I do too.  I know what I’m doing.’ ‘Okay.  Good, then.’” But really no one has a clue.” – Joe Rogan

"If you are grateful that you don't know certain things, you derive great pleasure from learning more about them." - Andreas Moritz

"Everything in life is unknowable.  What we think of as knowledge is not really knowledge.  In life, nothing can be known.  Every phenomenon that we observe, starting with a small leaf, remains utterly unknown, utterly unknowable, utterly inconceivable, utterly mysterious.  This mystery can never be revealed.  What little we know is not knowledge but just acquaintance.  We make the mistake of thinking acquaintance is knowledge.  (Osho p.25-26 Silence) 

 “Reality really is a theatre.  There’s no other way to describe it.  It’s all so
nonsensical, ridiculous and chaotic.”
– Joe Rogan
