There are so many questions that need answers, but are there any answers that need questions?

Question

Like Jeopardy really.

Answer 1

Gee, Alex, "Corny Conundums" for $400, please?

If an answer is just sitting there waiting for a question, it's called a discovery or an invention.

We also find this situation anywhere we have things that work but we don't know why they work. We don't really know why aspirin works so well. We don't understand the particles being hit and the changes taking place in the photoelectric effect (which is what Einstein got his Nobel prize for!). We don't know how to perpetuate wisdom and leadership from one generation to the next.

Answer 2

The ultimate answer, 42, needs a question. Although, if the question and the answer were both known, the universe might instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. On the other hand, this may have already happened.

Answer 3

42

Answer 4

The entire universe is infinitely full of answers without questions.

When such questions appear, there you have a new discovery (as in un-cover things)

The question appears when we have seen an answer we want to understand.

Don't you think so?

Answer 5

Listen to the late, great Warren Zevon's song "Fistfull of Rain,"
from the CD "Life'll Kill Ya."

Answer 6

Tons - Theories are unproven answers, so they need someone to ask more questions to prove them.

Answer 7

Often questions are the answer, think on that.

Answer 8

Yes, there sure are a lot of those. Some answers are not very clear...um what? what do you mean by that? yanno, like that.

Answer 9

Sure and here are a few I can think of offhand:

Life
God
Earth
People
Motion (as in the first movement)

Answer 10

My big question to my small answer is, what am I here for?
