I don’tknow.
A small website about the most honest sentence there is, and why it’s a better place to start than most answers.
Ask me anything
Go on. Type a question and see what comes back.
Your answer will appear here.
Three ways to say it well
“I don’t know.”
Plain and complete. It tells people exactly where the edge of your knowledge is, so they can trust everything inside it.
“I don’t know yet.”
Turns a dead end into a task. The word “yet” says you intend to find out.
“I don’t know, but here’s how I’d find out.”
The strongest version. It trades an answer for a method, which lasts longer.
Things nobody knows
Real questions that still don’t have settled answers.
- What is dark matter made of?We can measure its gravity but have never identified the stuff.
- How does consciousness arise from a brain?There are many theories and no agreement.
- Is there life anywhere else?One example so far, and we’re standing on it.
- Why do we sleep?We know what happens when we don’t. The full reason is still open.
