If you could have the answer to any 1 question...

[])rStrangelove]

MY DREAMS OF BEING REINCARNATED AS A VELOCIRAPTOR DEPEND ON IT

Dammit ninjad by one post . Coodoos to you sir. Btw is your avatar from the game dragon warrior?

cant be too sure where the avatar came from but women are complicated without an entire series of instruction manuals so if i just had that answer it would be perfect!

 

[twaddle]

WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?!

because water particle reflect blue light since blue is the shortest wave length

 

[Aidinthel]

what can change the nature of a man?

Planescape: Torment reference? That is some serious win right there.

OT: I'm sure there's plenty of deep, meaningful questions I could ask but at the end of the day I'm an unimaginative selfish bastard so let's go with lottery numbers.

 

[The Rainmaker]

I would ask "what is the question and answer to what I want most?" Am I doing it right?

 

[TheSuperiorXemnas]

Which Side of a Chocolate Corent is the head?

 

[Pegghead]

Why can't I hold all this quads?

This is my 4444th post you see. In all seriousness...I'unno, not many grand questions I really want to know (mayhap just a side effect of being a cat addict). Uh...why didn't the people in Footloose just move to another twon?

 

[Zyxx]

What exactly, in very concrete, step-by-step terms, do I have to do in order to find true and lasting happiness? I'll need the answer in written form.

 

[rosque]

What are the objectively best way to fix the governments of every nation in the world?

 

[Zhadramekel]

The three most annoying questions on the planet:
1) Why?
2) Are we there yet?
3) Is it possible to win the game? / Did you just lose the game?

 

[YawningAngel]

If you were given the power to know the answer to any one question, what would that question be and why? You can ask anything from "why am I here" to "Who shot JFK" to "what are the cheat codes to Skyrim".

"What feasible algorithm can I follow to become omnipotent?"

Accurately stipulates that the answer must be usable to me and makes me omnipotent. I'm a terrible respondent to this kind of thread.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

Should we stop entropy?

 

[The Funslinger]

What is the unifying theory of physics?

Possibly been covered, but it's because of a strange effect from light reflecting from the world's oceans.

the reflection of earth's water.

That logic says that the sky is blue because it is a reflection of the blue ocean which is a reflection of the sky.

Nope, it's how light bends colors, and blue being the one that's bent the most. Or something along the lines.

WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?!

Well, when light his a gas molecule the light will get absorbed then released in any direction. Since it is happening all over the sky the light gets scattered(the process is even called Rayleigh scattering). This happens a lot more with the higher frequency light first (your violets and blues). If the atmosphere were thinner we would get a purple sky. If it were thicker we would get an orange or green sky (depending on the thickness). If you look closely at pictures from space you will actually see a film of violet around the Earth. Sunset produces the rest of the colors because the light is going through more atmosphere.

Does P = NP, and why?

Technically that is two questions, but also a good question to ask. I forgot about that one.

Okay, I had it backwards...

 

[Mr Fixit]

Where do all the sexy nerdy ladies live, because i want to live there too....

 

[Redingold]

I'd ask whether Quantum Mechanics is the correct description of nature, and if so, where does it come from?

Does P = NP, and why?

Anyone who can answer that question would win one million dollars and one of the highest accolades in mathematics. I'll settle for that. Oh, and I'm sure the answer will be enormously helpful to many technical fields, and might allow a proof to be constructed for the remaining six millennium prize puzzles (each of which comes with the aforesaid million dollars) if P actually does equal NP.

Notice that they are not offering the million dollars for showing P = NP, they are offering a million dollars for proving that P is not equal to NP.

Untrue. I quote from the Clay Mathematics website, http://www.claymath.org/millennium/Rules_etc/

In the case of the P versus NP problem and the Navier-Stokes problem, the SAB will consider the award of the Millennium Prize for deciding the question in either direction.

Unfortunately, the best you can hope for is the illusion of happiness (which is fleeting, incomplete, or both). Might I recommend happiness in a chemical form?

Have you noticed whenever you are truly happy, you are never completely aware, being focussed on the joy and its cause. Happiness, though fleeting, is an escapism from the harsh realities of life

I might've noticed that, if I'd ever been truly happy.
Sounds like the suicide booth is the way to go...

Is what I would be saying, if I chose to believe that.
Perhaps I'm deluding myself, but if I'm wrong and none of us are anything more that miserable chunks of meaningless, ambulatory meat, then it doesn't matter what I believe. So I choose to have hope, or at least, to keep living.
