Unexplainable.

Do you think that there's anything that will remain truly unexplainable for eternity? Right and wrong aside.

What is energy?

That's already explained.

unexplainable? no

explainable through rational or scientific means? maybe, but I doubt it

That's easy:

"Why is/does/do x+n?" where "x" is a factual statement about the world and x+1 is a factual statement about the world that answer "x".

define 0 and define infinity

also we will never ever ever explain what death is

0 is the additive identity of the real numbers, if that helps you any.

Why are humans the rarest event in known history? I think our disconnection to the other animals on and off earth is negative and positive. Some people seek to improve the future for all animals. Some people would destroy everything. We are a threat to peaceful life but we can enhance peaceful life with our imaginations. Why are creatures like us so rare! Not dismissing alien life but awaiting open communication with them.

That is already quite explainable.

Whatever "ultimate being" turns out to be -- the Something That Always Was/Is/Will Be -- this will forever remain "unexplainable." We'll be able to describe it, at least in part, by comparing it to familiar, lower-level phenomena. But an "explanation" (IMO) implies some comparison to a higher, more inclusive context, which would be impossible with the STAW/I/WB, since, by definition, that is already the highest context.

In other words, using figure-ground: figures can be explained in the context of an all-inclusive ground. But there is no context for that all-inclusive ground.

Eg, if the "multiverse" is the STAW/I/WB, how does one "explain" it (ie, not define or describe it)?

Why are the cosmos full of friendly/hostile life forms communicating as we would love to?

"To the rational mind, nothing is inexplicable; only unexplained."

I have always loved that quote, even though I got it from a 70s Doctor Who episode.

It also gives me the chance to encourage the use of 'inexplicable' instead of the dodgier 'unexplainable'"

We don't know whether it is or not.

What π (pi) equals

You guys seem to have an insane definition of unexplainable (inexplicable).

3.1416

And there were scientific and mathematical methods used to arrive to that conclusion. Ask Google for info.

Anyways, regarding the question, yes, there are questions which may never be answered. Like most abstract questions (ie. emotions, anatomy, religion, etc.)
