Top 10 Science Questions

Explore the questions that challenge our understanding, force us to look beyond the obvious, and inspire us to imagine the seemingly impossible. Reflect on those age-old queries that have been the catalysts for scientific revolutions and have propelled humanity forward in our quest for truth.

You'll find questions that explore the genesis of life on Earth and ponder over the very nature of time itself. Wonder about the reality we inhabit - is it all governed by the strange and counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics? These questions symbolize the essence of human curiosity and represent our insatiable desire to understand the world around us.
The Top Ten
What occurred before the Big Bang?

One explanation is the collision of other universes, which may have triggered the Big Bang. If you ask, "What came before those two universes?" that would be quite confusing. However, if there are an infinite number of universes, this could imply an infinite expanse of time - no beginning, no end. But it is very confusing and hard to explain.

Science agrees that all matter originates from something. If the Big Bang was the beginning of evolution, there must be something that provided the substance and triggered the process. That's the supreme being's secret humans will never figure out.

How did life originate on Earth?

Did life evolve starting from the first organic molecules?

What is the nature of time?

One of the most complex subjects in science is time.

Are we alone in the universe?

My opinion is no because the universe is too large. But who knows exactly? Maybe we are an accident after all...

This person said there are no aliens. We have no proof they exist or not.

Do we inhabit a quantum world?

That's a good question, like why do we exist...

Yes, because we are all made up of tiny atoms.

How are ideas generated?
Does a higher power or deity exist?

I do think so. Everything is so perfectly built, so perfectly timed, and so sophisticated, yet all governed by a set of laws. This is the beauty of God. I believe this because it seems very unlikely that a law holding in some small part of the universe and also in another millions of light years away was created and obeyed by the universe itself. There is definitely someone controlling things out there.

I suggest that you read religious scriptures, especially the Quran, and apply science and logic to them. You will find very mysterious things that are true both logically and scientifically.

What constitutes the soul?

This is a concept that is very mind-boggling. It has been discovered that the body gets lighter after death. Quite weird - maybe something relating to the soul, because when we sleep, we actually get heavier, and after death, we get lighter. Religiously, the soul is in every living thing. It's essentially the living part of the creature, and the body is like an Iron Man suit where you can use the tools of the suit to do stuff.

How will the world eventually end?

Well, due to a race called humans.

In which direction is mankind evolving?

This is a question that only time will answer.

The Newcomers

? What is the purpose of the human appendix?
? Can humans be integrated with machines?
The Contenders
Could the entire universe be a quantum fluctuation of the vacuum?
What exists at the bottom of a black hole?
Will a cure for cancer ever be discovered?

I think we will. Already, we can cure some types of cancer, and I believe that all diseases have a potential cure.

We will one day. Maybe not today, but we will.

What occurs after death?

I think the concept of heaven and hell is right. Consider the example of Hitler, who incinerated many innocent Jews. The best punishment we could give to Hitler is only incinerating him. But what would happen? He would die, and would that be equal to the killing of millions of Jews? Obviously not. It seems as if he would have died a much more peaceful death than what he deserved.

This suggests there is no proper justice in this world. However, with the afterlife concept, we can see that there is justice. The same applies to the good you do in this world. For instance, if you give someone a loan during hard times, and this person runs away without repaying you, it seems meaningless to do any good in this world without the concept of an afterlife.

It is evident that this world is not just. So why have we created concepts like good and bad? Why, when doing something wrong, do you know it's wrong, and when doing good, you feel good? Why should we treat other creations well? Why don't we circulate wealth through unfair means like stealing?

There are many vices that would prevail in society if there were no justice. You wouldn't feel warm inside doing good if there were no justice. If my life has no meaning, then why live in the first place?

What distinguishes humans from other life forms?

Intelligence: the power to distinguish right from wrong and to think logically.

What causes gravity?
Is time travel feasible?

My answer was no before because I was being a show-off when I had my first conservative opinion ever, under the name of science.

Can humans preserve Earth as a habitable place?

Probably. There's a saying that necessity is the mother of invention. Humanity will likely reduce the destruction it's causing to Earth and give time for the planet to recover. But all this is only possible if we accept science. Some people still claim global warming isn't real, which is foolish.

Today, we have moved away from science. People are in a race for money and wealth, leaving others behind. We have forgotten who we are and why we are here. For the common man, science today means new weapons for war, space supremacy, mobile phones, and computers. We ignore real science and reap the benefits without even having basic knowledge about the science behind them. Science has merely become a forced subject.

Will humans achieve control over fusion power?

Will humans have unlimited energy in the future?

Will antimatter power be developed in the future?

It's a long shot, but in theory, it should work!

Why is sleep necessary for humans?

Our brains are like our phones, and sleep is the charger for our brains.

What constitutes a well-phrased question?
Can cloning preserve Earth's biological diversity?
What defines our existence?

That I can't really answer. Maybe a quantum fluctuation of apes. Who knows.

We are humans, pondering, thinking, and logically assessing creation.

Of what elements is the universe comprised?
