here is my question and answer to our discussion questions.

Can nature ever answer questions that are not asked?

Usually when someone asks a question there is some reason behind it. For example, when the Greeks asked how far the sun was from Earth, they had a reason to find an answer to their question. This is also the case whenever a scientist come up with a hypothesis and needs to prove it. They go to great lengths conducting numerous experiments to prove this theory. Sometimes they are successful, a lot of times they aren’t.
But what is the case when a question is never asked? Can it still be answered? I think that in some instances this could be true, but it would probably be very hard to find such an example. Even the context surrounding this question that I’m trying to answer had to be asked by somebody, and I’m the one that is trying to answer it.
This reminds me of the brain teaser question that asks if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise? The same basic concept applies here; how is it that we would be able to know if nature has answered a question that hasn’t been asked? Even though we’re not there to hear the question doesn’t mean that it hasn’t been asked or answered.
I’m not saying that it’s impossible for nature to answer a question that hasn’t been asked, simply that we may not be aware of it happening around us.
