The ultimate question

If you would have the opportunity to ask just one question, any question and receive the answer for it, what would be your choice???
What am I? Does God exist? What are the origins of the universe? What comes after death? What are the numbers for Sunday's lottery? What is the reason of one's existance?... just a few "popular" examples.
But really, when this opprtunity appears you must be ready, because you want to ask a question that will give you great satisfaction to know the answer, a question that is likely to remain without answer if you don't ask it.
So here is my guide for it, and finallly my ultimate question..!

Now, let us see how we can classify them, and try to give certain type of answers for certain type of questions.

First there is the "why" type of questions.
Why I am I? Why does a certain constant have a certain value? (like speed of light 300km/s) Why are athoms made of nucleus and electrons? and so on...
These are the question we could most easily answer!!!!!!
So here is how we compose the answer:
Because + the subject of the question + must have + the verb of the question + some + attribute...
Some examples: Because I must have been somebody!, Because it must have had some value!, Because it must have been made of something! and so on :))
So definetly try not to aks a "why" question!

Next there are the exploration questions. Like what is the ultimate particle of our universe? How was the universe created? How many dimensions are there? Are there paralel universes?
I think humanity can and will find the answers to these types of questions. Science did find a lot of answers to "impossible" questions that our predecessor didn't even imagine. Is the Earth flat?
Questions of this type that our predecessor asked, don't even raise interest anymore, so my guess is you don't want your question to become insignificant over the next generations...

Then there are filosofical questions. These questions are hard to formulate, and most likely you will not get a straight answer. I think it would be very hard to formulate a proper filosofical question. Let me give you an example: "What is God?" What kind of question is that? We don't even know what we are asking about... so how can we expect some satisfactory answer for that... what if they ask us back "What do we mean by <>?"

Now there may be other questions one would like to have then answered I don't think of right now. I just hope you'll be just a tiny little more prepared now then you were before for WHEN THE MOMENT COMES TO ASK THE ULTIMATE QUESTION.

Finally, Here is the question I would ask if that moment would come today:

Why does the univers need to be governed by certain rules? (more like "why must there be rules governing it?" "why does it have to be somehow?")
Now you may be astonished that I picked up a "Why" question :))... however if you give it more attention, the formula does not really apply here..
