"It's fairly easy to ask nebulous, unanswerable question." it should also be easy to identify unanswerable questions. is what i propose impossible in the scientific community to have an answer for? also, if a child can ask a question you cannot answer through science, wouldnt that point to science lacking the basic understanding of how we ourselves work? would that not then require a philosophy to answer such questions? i do have limited training in science, as i am also young. whether i am nuts or not, thats a matter of position, though i do have my moments. however, most advances in knowing how things work comes from people who dont already know what "cant" be done. (im going to cite combat pilots for that one) a man who doesnt know what is considered impossible, will test more things than his mentors would. this applies to both my age and my background. as for being nuts, i also qualify for Mensa, and as the saying goes "there's a thin line..." judge me as you will, there i am. as for the math, again, i have no basis for this because we dont know what the properties of either are. and yes, this idea is entirely of my own device. im not looking to win a Noble, far from it. im just asking a question and seeing what line of thinking may come of it.

I can safely assume you don't have children, and have forgotten being a child.

You haven't said where you are from, but I hope English isn't your first language. (If you have recently started studying English, then good for you. I don't mean to ridicule you about that.) You should, however, give us some clue as to why you can't capitalize the first word of sentences.

So you coulda been a Mensa. What about the four sigma society?
