The correct answer is always the same. Ask a question: the correct answer should be the same! Now, travelling back in time is impossible, as we all know, but if you could tell the time exactly: i.e. be the same, doesn't that negate it. Just as astronauts attain zero gravity by entering the atmosphere in a plane then flying straight towards the earth at the same rate as gravity, surely matching time will negate said entity. Any thoughts???
same as what? same as what? The use of same implies a comparison of two or more things. same as what? Sure. Objects that travel at the speed of light do not experience the passage of time.
??? The knowledge-imparting reply is somehow the same as the question, or a segment of the latter? Well, regardless, what we have here is yet another text version of the Rorschach blot tossed to the public on this board. So as recreation, let's explore where this particular interpretation of the word-stain goes (partially). We know that the lexical signs involved wouldn't share the same functional context, at least. In the case of "What is a Dalotel DM-165?", the answer is a "meaning" (or alternative, unfolded representation) that would be equivalent to the original [non-understood] item which was inquired about. That answer may consist of a categorization (airplane), declaration of its purpose (flying), and/or analysis (exploded diagram, detailed description) -- and/or experience (perceiving a specific example of Dalotel DM-165, riding in it, etc). In the case of "What happened to these buildings?", the answer [for this instance] is a cause (tornado's effects) which arguably has interchangeable identity or correspondence with the stated unknown element ("What happened...") of the inquiry, but not the damaged buildings themselves. In the case of "What are these ashes?", an answer of "They are a person's cremated remains" refers to a former state which is now not the same classification as the current state. However, the very definition of ashes in the context of casual conversation would usually imply "What..." relating to the past identity -- rather than, say, an optional, narrow, and detached chemical composition account. Thus an interrogative word or the overall section of a sentence it directly affects could be construed as an empty placeholder for the "anonymity" which it requests information about. Thereby both the asking and the solving-reply being different representations of the same identity: One serving as "blank symbol" for a meaning that is filled in by later substantive symbols that clarify what the other in prior interrogative form signified. Again, these representations [inquisitive/empty and explanatory/filled] wouldn't share the same functional context, though. Also, given the more intricate complications and ambiguities that can arise in language, a universally applicable "always" judgement would be unwise (should not be inferred from this very small, simple sampling).
