The Eternal Questions

What are eternal questions? To a classical physicist, they are questions about the cosmos that are answered with measured certainty; then, quantum physics comes along. To a metaphysicist, they are questions that are ancient and answered repeatedly but never settled to everyone's satisfaction. And that's why we have eternal questions, the really big questions about life and death. And, yes, they will be with us always, but still we strive to know.
