(Seemingly) unanswerable questions

[Kidkoder]

Can anyone think of some (seemingly) unanswerable questions?
like, say:
"What is the sound of one hand clapping?", or:
"If a tree falls in the forest, and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

[DannyB]

If a man speaks in the woods and there is no woman around to hear him......is he still WRONG??????

What happens when an unmovable object meets an irresistable force?

[Kidkoder]

What happens when an unmovable object meets an irresistable force?
EVERYTHING!!
Time & Space are the objects!
(for those that didn't know already.)
Another one:
"Can God make a rock so big that even He can't pick it up?"

[kevin]

hehehe.... I thought you were just looking for a list of conundrum type questions/observations, I didn't realize you maybe wanted to answer them.

I would debate that space is an umovable object, and time is nothing, it has no mass or energy or motion or anything so it can't be irresistable or unmovable. But its still a neat suggestion to the conundrum. :)

[DannyB]

I dunno, I'd sure like to see someone stop Time. For that matter it would also be a good trick to pick up a chunk of space and move it.

Unplug your clock and you will stop time.

Pick up a box and move it, you have just moved a small chunk of space.

Unplugging your clock would only make you late for your next engagement. You are getting older whether your clock is running or not.

Technically, you can't prove that the box isn't just passing through the space.
How will you illustrate that the space in the box is the exact same space that was in the box before it was moved?

I'll agree that you've moved some air.

REMEBER: You said you wanted to debate this, I'm just helping you out.:D :D :D

in other words I'm bored....argue with me.

"If a tree falls in the forest, and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?" YES, i know it does because it would make the same noise as if i WAS there

I think I can answer some of these:

From KittiK
Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
It is - it's words like phish and phingers that a spelt wrong :D

Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?
Have you tried parachuting out of a plummeting 747?

Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime? You don't even need a gun - just point with your fingers and use your thumb as the hammer.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?
Yes, but why?

If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height, what would happen?
Perhaps we should try it and come up with some kind of anti-gravity cart - strap enough cats in it and we could do away with wheels on cars!
In answer to your question, though, I reckon you would get scratched by a greasy furball.

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
Americans! Sheesh! We drive on roads.

Why are hot dogs sold in packages of six, but hot dog buns in packages of ten.
Its a conspiracy!!!!

Well, the box and the air inside the box are made of matter which is the basic stuff of space, so therefore you have moved space, I guess.

Space can be warped by gravity - therefore is not unmovable.
Time, at the moment, may be illusory - there is no directly affirmable evidence for time - so it is impossible to say whether it is irrestible or not.

Why are they called "apartments" when they are so close together.

[Joe]

Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mime? - depends if you want to get caught or not, i prefer strangling them myself :D

If your at the north pole, which way is north?
Up..!! Yes, up sounds like a good answer...

[bjmiller121]

up isnt a direction on a compass.
where would the compass point at the (magnetic) north pole?

[ExtraDog]

Depends are you standing on the True or Magnetic North pole? And are we speaking of pointing to True or Magnetic North??

why would they have to lock the robber in the store with them?
if they are in there then so be it, but usually the robber is not going to stick around... :) so after the robbery they have to lock the door.

north is always the magnetic north. in my book :)

[ExtraDog]

Okay I looked it up.. It points down not up....
See the illustration to see how the Earth's
magnetic field flows downward at the North Pole.

"Mom, have you got a minute?"

[scoutt]

that is the best question so far Peg, I like it.

[bjmiller121]

[Pegasus]

So do my kids. And it's usually longer than a minute that I'm busy with them. *g* Ranks right up there with "a *word* from our sponsor".

Peg

[bjmiller121]

lol :D i try not to ask it too often. My mom actualy asks me for a minute alot too. shes not that good with any form of technology. :p

[Pegasus]

I had a weird mom. She used to work for a company that made circuit boards. She knew all about the guts of a computer, but she didn't have a clue as to how to turn one on.

*lol* Mind you, it did help me silence a technician. He insisted that I had one size of RAM stick, when, according to the part number on the chips, it was another size. He stopped making remarks about women and computers when I was proved right. I'd have kept the stick, but it buggered up my computer. I had a maximum limit of 72Mb of RAM and anything over that choked the computer. I had to send it back and get the proper size. :rolleyes:

Here's another question, then. Why aren't females taken seriously when the subject of the conversation is anything technical?
