Questions That Nobody Else Asks

By Peter Fränzel

Questions that move your world. We have got to grips with 5 topics and created the most exciting questions about humankind and the planet Earth.

We often ask ourselves "what kind of world do we live in?" The earth is a mystery in itself: how can it be that so many people live on the planet and we speak so many different languages, live in different countries and experience different cultures? And even more exciting: how will we evolve over the next 1,000 years? Might we even have a single language?

The sensitive issue of religion is very widespread. But most of the time, however, we only have half the knowledge to base our opinion on. Far too often, minor religions are neglected. We get to the bottom of the people and tribes!

Moving on to the islands and the ocean in this world… When is a dot on the earth an island and how many fish live in the deep blue sea? We discover the answers here.

We accept many everyday things, especially material things, as they are, although we often do not know why they are as they are. The answers to numerous other everyday questions provide a wealth of interesting, surprising and entertaining information and guarantee numerous “Aha!” moments.

Most people would be able to answer the question How many continents are there? The answer, however, isn’t so clear. Australia (and sometimes also Oceania) is generally included and counts alongside America, Asia, Africa and Europe as the fifth continent.

Antarctica counts as its own continent, depending on which definition is used, meaning that the correct answer to the question about how many continents there are would be six. The number could go up to seven if North and South America were each defined as their own continent.

We can see that just defining the continents can get quite complicated, so what is the deal with countries? What does the development of countries and humankind look like up to now,
