Yes, some mathematical problems are KNOWN to be unsolvable.
For example the "Halting Problem"[1] cannot be salved.
The problem, in short, requires one to come up with an algorithm that will be able to analyze other algorithms and determine whether they halt or not.
The solution would be EXTREMELY useful, but the problem was PROVED to be unsolvable.

yes there is. take a blackhole and it's ability to take in matter (therefore issue destruction to life). let's say there's a blackhole on the planet earth namly killing the animals that most men have no idea how it balances the food chain. this black hole kills off 1 animal that makes it so 15 other species die out.
where is a solution to fixing the food chain before more animals die off cause of the unknown link between those extinct animals and the living one's. how long does a plant survive without that extinct animal to help it's way of life. 1 by 1 everything falls because of that black hole. now where can a solution lie in this example.

Where there is a will there is a way. Don't make the mistake of willing to solve a problem that does not justify your will to solve it, otherwise, it is your will that will become the problem and without a will there is no way.

A problem can only not be solved by those who believe the problem cannot be solved, as it takes human effort and will to solve any problem.

No, the is a solution for every problem but it won't neccessarily be the right solution.

Yes. Pi.
People and computers have been trying to get to it's ultima decimal place to no avail for years.
God could probably do it, but I was assuming you meant by humans.

Sure there is. Calculate the value of pi to the last decimal place. Can't be done.
