Or is an unanswered question essentialy different than an answered question (the difference being beyond the fact that one has an answer and the other does not)?

A question that does not need an answer is a rhetorical question; thus, they are different, but it shows that not every question needs an answer to be complete. . .

A question is always complete since a question is a question even without an answer. However can an answer be an answer without a question, I don't think so , it is then only a statement.

Many questions have no answer or are so profound that as mere humans we can't possibly answer said question.
So, to answer you......yes a question can be a question without an answer.
On the other hand I will ask.....can there actually be answers without questions?

Our human nature wants to say that a question is not complete without an answer, however, I having a sneaking suspicion that there are many questions that stand whole all by themselves.

Of course it is! A question and an answer are two different things.
Is a disease complete without a cure? Sure it is! Same thing!

There is no question without answer, but for the mind to ask.

A question is as complete as the scribe pens it, and the answer is of the same truth.

there are always many answers so you could ask when is a question really answered?
