In the video, Chris Anderson asks many questions that no one is able to answer. He asks questions like; "Is our future already written?", "What if God is a woman?", "What does it mean to be conscious?", etc. There are questions asked every day and some questions have answers that are unknown to mankind and will likely always be that way. Asking questions is a great tool and skill to have because it takes you to the depth of your knowledge and beyond by asking questions. If you are told the answer is unknown, the mind can go deeper to find possible answers, kind of like being a detective. Teachers can show this video to their students or ask them questions with infinite possible answers or no answer but allow them to think and share what they think the answer is and why. Teachers need to encourage divergent thinking (multiple answers) so the students use their imagination and curiosity to find an answer. They need to hear there can be all kinds of answers, there is not just one. This will help them envision themselves contributing to the class discussion and this will show the students the world is full of unanswered questions and will hopefully peak their interest. In the end, this will help promote lifelong learners who will never stop learning.
