"Why do we dream?" doesn't seem like it ranks in the top 10.

"Why do we dream?" doesn't seem like it ranks in the top 10.
- altoz 13y agomore important than "where do we put our carbon". that's an engineering problem, at best.
- paul_f 13y agoIt was a decent list until the absurd carbon question.
- huherto 13y agoI think it is a very important question that may actually impact our survival in the planet beyond the other questions that are more to satisfy our own curiosity. So I am not sure if you think the question is already solved or is it not actually a problem.
- huherto 13y agoIt may be just an engineering problem, but it is a huge engineering problem
- acqq 13y agoAbsolutely not. It's a problem of our civilization's survival. How this civilization treats it will ultimately decide if it deserves to survive. The contributions like "engineering problem at best" make me sure that we can't expect much.
- waps 13y agoNone of these questions rank anywhere near the top10, at least not in the exact sciences. Actual top10 problems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems (they require knowing more than a little bit of science to even understand the question)
- bglazer 13y agoI was under the impression that these are all mathematics and theoretical physics related.
- macspoofing 13y agoThe Millennium Problems are not the biggest question in all of science. They are big questions in Mathematics.
