    In the first of a new TED-Ed series designed to catalyze curiosity, TED Curator Chris Anderson shares his boyhood obsession with quirky questions that seem to have no answers. (Introducing the series "Questions no one knows the answers to")
    "Questions No One Knows the Answers to" was animated by Andrew Park (www.cognitivemedia.co.uk)

      it's very very plausible, and each organelle of this cell are also universe, each atoms, each particules,...to infinite. I think that infinity is in the two ways, small and big, so like alan wats say we are the universe. An interesting thing is that with the particle accelerators, physicists are banging particles like electrons together so they create mini big bang every day!! these guys are gods! and maybe our iniverse was created the same way...

      Theres a difference between a cognitive reaction and a conscious experience (qualia). If I put a lobster into a pot and it waved its arms in the air, how would I know if that's not a survival mechanism simply happening, or if the lobster is genuinely in pain? How do we know pain sensors can be completely 100% identical to consciousness? How do you know I feel pain? What if I'm just a zombie that acts conscious but there's no actual inner perspective feeling anything?

    This video raises quite interesting questions, and it was very interesting to listen. Personally, I tend to believe that life on other planets, as well as other dimensions, most likely exists. This seems much more plausible than if they did not exist, given the scale of the universe and the behavior of the quantum world. I am sure in a few hundred years humanity will get answers to these questions and it is wonderful, I am very glad that I will find such a time, perhaps the most interesting time for highness that has ever been before !

      Answers are born from question, answer is a thing that without question doesn't exist or simply it isn't a question, like there can't be shadows of there isn't light, because shadows are absence of light, but if light doesn't exist, everything is shadow or shadow doesn't exist, both are valid. This means that if there is answer but not question, every thing is the question or the question doesn't exist. Like if the answer is 80, every combinations of numbers are the questions (60+20, 40×2, etc...) or the question just doesn't exist, it is just a sentence. I now realized that I toke too seriously your comment due to the fact that is just a joke, but maybe can change your life, who knows

    I think the answer you're looking for isn't whether they're communicating or not, but whether you're tuning into the correct frequency. There's in fact an infinite number of frequencies these electromagnetic fields can communicate on. Heck maybe even each time a bond is formed it actually creates its own unique frequency and magnetic field. Maybe this explains quantum entanglement? God bless!!!

Also, WHY would one be so worried about wanting to contact these beings. The only thing up there is God and his angels and I'm fairly sure they'll communicate when and how they see fit. All this other rubbish is just that. They can stare out at space all they want they're never going to be able to see or know when this imminent return is going to happen. That's what they want and they can never have it. This place isn't nearly ready to progress into their next phase in the universe. This has happened before and we got destroyed and it's going to happen again if people don't wake up. God bless!!!

      Ainlif is composed of ain meaning one and the suffix lif (lifted straigth from the German root lib) meaning "to adhere/remain/remain left over".So, Eleven means literally "one left"(ie one past ten).Hence Eleven. Similary, Twelve comes from ancient German compound word twalif meaning "two left "(ie two past ten). Its kinda hard to explain tho

      Not being visited yet by a person from the future, doesn't mean time travel hasn't been invented. How can you prove that actually we have been visited... or not?
      Same goes with aliens: if we still don't have enough (scientific) evidence, that doesn't mean other intelligences don't exist.

      Technically, if consuming anything that once was part of the material body of a human being, the answer is YES. The same would hold true of eating anything grown 'downstream' from a human grave. However I think once the body breaks down into its varied chemical parts they are no longer part of a 'collective' human and thus consuming them would not be cannibalism. So it depends on how you understand the form of the word 'Human".

      I think it would just answer questions. Maybe change how we actually percieve the world. Maybe change in perception/discovery in knowledge lead to more inventions? For the geniuses it's really just for knowledge.

      I know the answer to multiple of his questions, but there is preface has to be understood before knowing some answers
      Be careful from (sophistry) and (asking unaproppriate questions), I don't know if I said it well, but I meant: like you ask (how many months does man take to pregnancy?) This is an unanswered question due to its irrational or non-methodology thinking
      If you want to hear some rational answers search about RUclips list named (The journey of certainty) in channel named (Dr. eyad qunaibi global channel)
      and a book named (Sabighat) which is available on google for free
