Which is more abundant in nature, Questions or Answers...and why?

Question

Extrapolate the nature of Q & A themselves (i.e. why is it that as soon as you get an idea or inspiration you get many answers in one problem or sometimes you only get one answer for many problems...that sort of thing) you could extrapolate your answers into philosophical or scientific nature.

Answer 1

Answers are more abundant in nature.

I can demonstrate this mathematically:

Mathematicians have already invented the real number system. One the real line, there are C points (where C is the size of the continuum). Questions are countable, even if we could ask an infinite number of them, it would be a countable infinity. The size of the real numbers is much larger than the size of the countable numbers. So this must mean that mathematicians have already found more answers than questions can ever be asked for.

So unless we want to throw away our number system, we will never find every answer that there is to be found.

So, who would like to be the first to tell me that the square root of 2 does not exist?

HOWEVER:

This does not mean that every question is answerable. Godel's proof states that in any sufficiently complex system (mathematics is one)there are true statements which cannot be pr oved from within that system.

So if try to answer: "What are all the true theorems of mathematics?", (This was the object of the Principia Mathematica).

We will find that mathematics is not powerful enough to prove all it's true statements. We need to go to a larger system, which leads to an infinite regression.

Thus the more questions we answer, the more unanswered questions exist, with an even greater number of possible answers.

So, we will never run out of things to ask ourselves.

And, we will never run out of solutions to disagree about;)

Answer 2

Questions are more in number .There are questions that have no answers . You might say "what about the questions that have multiple answers" . Well , all those answers end in the same results at the end ,and hence must be considered as one , even when they seem to contradict each other .

Answer 3

As compared to answers, Questions are more abundant in Nature because every thing in nature is a question itself , a question of existance and for living thing it is a question of survival and as for this questions we throng for the answer and ultimately lead to progress in every untouched sphere.

Answer 4

Questions are many...
Answers are few... (good answers anyway)

And sometimes the answers just raise more questions... it is a neverending struggle for the the truth, which is very elusive.

Answer 5

definitely answers...you can ask a simple question and suddenly you will received a lot of different answers to just one questions....

Answer 6

ASSUMING THAT THERE CANNOT BE AN ASWER WITHOUT A QUESTION, BUT THERE CAN BE A QUESTION WITHOUT AN ANSWER, THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS THAT THE QUESTIONS WILL BE MORE ABUNDANT.

THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS UNASWERED...BUT I'VE NOT SEEN ANSWERS WITHOUT QUESTIONS. SO THAT EXPLAINS IT ALL.

Answer 7

thats what you called the mystery in life
