What is an Unknowable Conundrum?
An unknowable conundrum is a puzzle or problem that is so mind-bogglingly complex, so fundamentally baffling, that it defies explanation or solution. It's like trying to grasp a handful of Jell-O, only to have it slip through your fingers like a greased pig.
Or, to put it more formally: An Unknowable Conundrum is an intellectual enigma that is so opaque, so resistant to understanding, that it becomes an existential crisis in and of itself.
Example Unknowable Conundrums:- The nature of time and its relationship to space
- The meaning of the universe and our place within it
- The best way to fold a fitted sheet
