Conceptually speaking, from a purely materialistic standpoint, "objective reality" seems true enough, that we should not question it; but in truth, our objective realities are merely virtual reality creations of the mind and are actually subjective reflections, or shadows, of an ostensible *absolute world* beyond our senses. The only verification of this absolute reality is via consensus with other minds. Hence, the objective reality becomes an assumption, which relies on the confirmations of other observers. That means that in accordance with the scientific method, our objective reality, cannot be proved to be an independent absolute - only inferred to be an absolute, as possibly playing a particular role, in accordance with the statistical status quo. So an infinitude of questions will always, thankfully, exist.
We then come to the reductive realization that our ostensible - concensible objectification, assumes there exists a separation between object and subject, - "perceived and perceiver", but in truth, there isn't any separation. The only reality that we can ever know is the reality of perception, which is the reality of mind. Of course you may stub your toe, pronouncing to yourself that "it is satisfactorily refuted thus!"
But pain is also a perception of mind.
All objects of perception require a uniform logically consistent substrate OF perception, meaning that all objects of perception require a uniform[consciously aware] mental template of subjectification. Thus if the objective world stability is perceived as it truly is then the stability of the subjective is the same as the stability of the objective. Ergo, the objective and subjective reality forms a duality, reflecting the two sides of the same coin called awareness or consciousness. Raw awareness and consciousness forms the most basic aspect of reality. Pure existence becomes pure thought/consciousness.
These are just guesses on my part, which could lead to many questions ;)

Lord Krishna taught Arjuna by the process of question and answers.
Similarly Srimad-Bhagavatam is question and answers between King Parikshit asked Sukadeva Gosvami and the sages headed by Saunaka asked questions to Suta Gosvami.
When the sages asked the question, Suta Gosvamii said,
"O sages, I have been justly questioned by you. Your questions are worthy because they relate to Lord Krishna and so are of relevance to the world's welfare. Only questions of this sort are capable of completely satisfying the self."
(Srimad Bhagavatam )1.2.5)
Purport to by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
Founder-Acharya of ISKCON
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
Since it has been stated herein before that in the Bhagavatam the Absolute Truth is to be known, the questions of the sages of Naimisaranya are proper and just, because they pertain to Krishna, who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Absolute Truth. In Bhagavad-gita (15.15) the Personality of Godhead says that in all the Vedas there is nothing but the urge for searching after Him, Lord Krishna. Thus the questions that pertain to Krishna are the sum and substance of all the Vedic inquiries.
The whole world is full of QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. The birds, beasts and men are all busy in the matter of perpetual QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. In the morning the birds in the nest become busy with QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS and in the evening also the same birds come back and again become busy with QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. The human being, unless he is fast asleep at night, is busy with QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. The businessmen in the market are busy with QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, and so also the lawyers in the court and the students in the schools and colleges. The legislators in the parliament are also busy with QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, and the politicians and the press representatives are all busy with QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Although they go on making such QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS or their whole lives, they are not at all satisfied. Satisfaction of the soul can only be obtained by QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS on the subject of Krishna. Krishna is our most intimate master, friend, father or son and object of conjugal love. Forgetting Krishna, we have created so many objects of QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS but none of them are able to give us complete satisfaction. All things—but Krishna—give temporary satisfaction only, so if we are to have complete satisfaction we must take to the QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS about Krishna. We cannot live for a moment without being questioned or without giving answers. Because the Srimad-Bhagavatam deals with QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS that are related to Krishna, we can derive the highest satisfaction only by reading and hearing this transcendental literature. One should learn the Srimad-Bhagavatam and make an all-around solution to all problems pertaining to social, political or religious matters. Srimad-Bhagavatam and Krishna are the sum total of all things.

Yes, sometimes the answer must be known before it's known what question to ask.

There are no questions within the self, only egoic mind chatter within the illusionary dream.
