    Anything to do with origins of anything. We can only fathom the B-Z. The A is elusive.

    The term "Dark Matter" already implies a posed answer, it's no that it can't be answered it's whether the answer is scientifically provable as opposed to being a pseudoscience.

    No one knows.

    No one can know, actually, at this early going.

    Not even the OP question is definitely unanswerable via an appropriate science of some future kind.

    We can't predict the future, so we don't know what seemingly "unanswerable" questions will be conquered after we're gone.

    Like.......a mirror?

    Something that bends light around an object on the other hand would be handy.
