A great deal of effort in the enterprise of science goes into constructing well posed problems i.e. to questions that have certain and unambiguous answers. the ideal experiment is that which can be reproduced anywhere by any competent scientist with precisely the same results. but questions that have no definite answers are is there a God would we be happier if we lived longer etc.
Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Sophocles, Racine, Cervantes, Dickens, Mill none of them could find the answer for:
How strange is the lot of us mortals each of us is here for a brief sojourn for what purpose we know not. Life would seemingly be empty without the occupation with the objective world. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty which in the most primitive form is accessible to our minds. its this knowledge that is the driving force of life. without which life would be meaningless.
