Impossible questions

[A.A.K]

Why do Idiots breathe?

 

[bigolbear]

My friend here always lies, and he says I always tell the truth... who is correct?

i like this one but i never truly figured it out

I shall answer this question thusly!
Kill both parties, loot the bodies for any keys and treasure and ignore the silly sidequest that is geting in the way of my power leveling.

True answer: every one lies. Its a moral dilema when presented with two people.

 

[The_Prophet]

what is the answer to the question I'm thinking of right this moment.

Not an impossible question just very improbable to get correct.

OT: Do I exist?

"I think, therefore I am." (You in this case)

square root of -1 = ?

Impossible.
EDIT: OH, right. The title *facepalm*

 

[Hellenion]

Could God heat a burrito so much, that He Himself could not eat it?
(you receive nothing for reference!)

Would that be a relevent question? God is a limitless being, and the question assumes that he has to abide by the rules of limitations of Earth. I mean, this is a God that can be everywhere yet nowhere at the same time. To understand the answer, we have to place ourselves into the "Limitless Environment" of God. And that's something we, as humans, are so beyond our experience that we can't even imagine it.

I believe the common variation is "Can God create a rock he cannot lift".

It's the omnipotence paradox. You can't put omni- in front of something without shit happening.

So God is all-knowing, right?
He's also omnipotent, yes?

Then could God pose a question even he doesn't know the answer to?

[small](Please don't flame me.)[/small]

There's an answer to that one, actually. The answer is: No, he couldn't. He can pose any question, sure, but he can also answer every question. "A question which an all-knowing creature doesn't know the answer wo" is a pointless sentence, since you, by saying he's all knowing, say that he does know all answers. You might as well say "Invisible green ideas sleep furiously". It can be said, yes, but it doesn't make sense. Like asfhasjaf or sfasfsdfwefw, it's nonsense.

 

[CloakedOne]

God can do anything: can he create a rock that even he could not lift?

 

[bcponpcp27]

But...but....what did I do!?

 

[Ren3004]

square root of -1 = ?

That would be i. Please do not start a discussion about imaginary numbers.

 

[Above]

if anything is possible,is it possible for something to be impossible :?

 

[Captain Pancake]

Here's a classic reference...

Why is Hitler? Who is Spain?

where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?

 

[Bat Vader]

Why did I enter this thread?

 

[trelloskilos]

Befor you ask the most obvious one, the meaning to life is 42(hitch hickers guide to the galaxy)come up with one.

It is NOT THE MEANING OF LIFE damnit.

It's the ultimate answer, the thing is, what is the ultimate question?

the Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything is 42.
The Ultimate Question: What do you get when you multiply six and nine?

Can you daydream at night?

Firstly, yes, you can daydream at night. It's daytime on the other side of the earth. ;-P

Secondly (pedantic geek mode), the Ultimate question is NOT 'What do you get it you multiply six and nine?'. It was never found, because Deep Thought got buggered up by the arrival of the Golgafrinchians, (the reason why the sum is wrong), and later was destroyed by the Vogons 5 minutes before it was due to complete its calculations. (pedantic geek mode off)

What happens when two object going light speed collide?

Nothing only light can move at the speed of light (ironic no?) and light has no mass... it'd pass right through.

Untrue, photons do have mass. That's where the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle comes in, you cannot know the location and velocity of a sub-atomic particle at the same time. That's because one or the other changes when hit by a photon.

No they do not. For something to attain the speed of light while having mass it would require an infinite amount of energy because the mass of the object reaches infinity. Photons act as a particle and a wave but are mass-less.

 

[Aunel]

pi, with no rounding up or down.

 

[Tolerant Fanboy]

What smells like purple and tastes of shame and rainbows?

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Yes?

What is the color of mischeif?

Can you answer a question that asks you if your answer to the question will be no and still be correct with your answer?

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

There is no valid answer for this one:
"How does Hellskull get a girlfriend without paying/killing/threatening anyone?"

Learn Hypnosis.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

African or European?

I don't know that!
*Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!*

How do you know so much about swallows?

They have rest-mass... and they also have momentum.

The Momentum of the photon is attained by the equation p=(h/2pi)k which has nothing to do with mass at all. Further the photons "rest-mass" is derived from the equation E=mc^2 which if you take the energy of a singe photon and divide it by the speed of light in a vacuum squared (approximately 9 x 10^16 m/s) it is going to be such a small number that it is irrelevant.
