Well if that's the real answer, then any question at all would be a waste.
That's not true! Getting an answer to something doesn't necessarily mean the thing you're asking about is possible. You could ask me how to split myself in half and become two people, and I'd say (within my knowledge) it's impossible. But if you ask me how computers can show a pixel on the screen, I can give you a detailed answer. Either way, I'm answering your question, just perhaps not satisfyingly.
The point of this post is to see if there is any piece of knowledge you'd like to acquire, just for the sake of knowledge and not for any practical use. It's perfectly valid to say knowledge is worthless and pointless without any applicable use, I take that's your stance. Lots of opinions in this thread, it's been interesting to read all these replies.
