Feynman tries to explain the absurdity of trying to ask questions which if divided down to their most simplistic forms can&#x27;t give binary &#x27;yes&#x27; or &#x27;no&#x27; answers.<p>The issue with the &#x27;why&#x27; questions is at the bottom most place in the the &#x27;why&#x27; stack you need to have an axiom&#x2F;postulation or at least a plain assumption, without which you can&#x27;t explain the subsequent &#x27;why&#x27; or &#x27;how&#x27; questions.<p>Now this a classic trick in trying to prove science as useless and propel pseudo science concepts among crackpots.
