20 Questions

     Even though it is not the game 20 questions that we all love to play when we are bored out of our minds, the 20 big questions of science are called big for a reason. Even though all of these inquiries are very interesting, I think the question "Can we live forever?" is something that, if answered "yes!", will probably be disastrous! I was intrigued by this question because if it is something that can happen, it will change everyone's life because they can live until the sun blows up. But after that, will they keep on living? I thought this question was interesting because it leads to so many more thoughts! One hypothesis for this question could be, If bodies stop expanding, then humans or other species can live forever. Though this is a very loose statement, scientists have used this concept to come very close to an answer.

20 of the many questions I think about are listed here:
  1. How did we develop complex emotions?
  2. Why do we see in color?
  3. Will we ever be able to live on Mars?
  4. Why do people cry?
  5. Why does hair curl?
  6. How do muscles remember how to do things? (referring to "muscle memory)
  7. Why do people look different?
  8. Is "natural born talent" actually real?
  9. How do airplanes fly?
  10. What in our body lets us sing?
  11. Can you survive without sleep?
  12. Why do some things taste like a smell?
  13. Why are expressions in dance so hard to master?
  14. Why do people lose and gain flexibility?
  15. Why do we still have so much hair in some places of the body and very less in other places?
  16. Why is it bad to look straight at the sun?
  17. How much longer will the earth exist?
  18. Is it possible to revive dead people?
  19. What causes us to make bad choices?
  20. Why is math so complicated?
