What are some questions science may never be able to answer?

Science has solved so many mysteries that it seems almost impossible that there are questions that science may not be able to answer. There are a lot of questions still unsolved, however, and here is a small list of them:


  • Existence of God: Religions have always stressed the presence of one or more higher beings. Science has always avoided this question. Science may not be able to answer whether God exists or what his or...

Science has solved so many mysteries that it seems almost impossible that there are questions that science may not be able to answer. There are a lot of questions still unsolved, however, and here is a small list of them:


  • Existence of God: Religions have always stressed the presence of one or more higher beings. Science has always avoided this question. Science may not be able to answer whether God exists or what his or her purpose is.

  • Afterlife: Life after death has been a topic of constant discussion among human beings. Scientists have been able to answer many questions regarding our birth and lives, but it seems science may not be able to tell what happens to us after we die. 

  • Existence of Soul: similar to existence of God, the existence of souls is another mystery to science. Does the soul exist, where does it come from, and what happens to it through our lives and after our death are all tough questions for scientists to try to answer.

  • Before Universe: What was there before our universe came into being is another tough question for science.

Hope this helps.

In chapter one of The Great Gatsby, what advice does Nick's father give him? How does this make him a good person to tell this story?

Nick says that his father advised him that, before "criticizing anyone," he "remember that all the people in this world haven't had the same advantages" as Nick.  As a result, Nick claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgments," presenting himself to the reader as a fair and dispassionate arbiter of character, and thus, a reliable narrator.   The problem is that Nick immediately reveals himself as anything but reliable, as he then launches...

Explain and discuss how the definitions of freedom change for the nation, for the freedmen and for southern whites after the Civil War.

After the Civil War, the definition of freedom changed in the nation, as slavery was ended with the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. The practice of slavery was disallowed, but definition of the freedom that would take its place was a subject of controversy, ongoing debate, and even violence in the decades to come.  For freedmen, freedom often meant reconciling with their families, who were broken up by slavery; choosing which church to...
