Why is there anything rather than nothing? What are human beings: material organisms, immaterial souls, or something else? What makes you the same person as you were ten years ago? Are we really free to choose our actions, or are our actions (even thoughts) predetermined by something else in the world? What is the nature of time and space? Is time travel possible?
