you see when you ask why something
happens how does a person answer why
something happens for example aunt
Minnie is in a hospital why because she
slipped she went out and she slipped on
the ice and broke her hip that satisfies
it people it satisfies but it wouldn't
satisfy someone who came from another
planet knew nothing about things you
first should understand why when you
break your hip do you go to the hospital
how do you get to the hospital with the
winter hip is broken well because her
husband seeing that she had the hip was
booked and call the hospital up and sent
somebody to get her all that is
understood by people and when you
explain it a why'd you have to be in
some framework that you allow something
to be true otherwise you're perpetually
asking why why did the husband call up
the hospital because husband is
interested in his wife's welfare not
always some husbands aren't interested
in their wives before they're drunk and
they're angry and so you begin to get a
very interesting understanding of the
world and all its complications in order
to if you try to follow anything up you
go deeper and deeper in various
directions if for example you go oh why
did she slip on the ice will lies too
slippery everybody knows that no problem
but yes why is ice slippery that's kind
of curious ice is extremely slippery
it's very interesting you say how does
it work you couldn't you see so you
could either say I'm satisfied that
you've answered me ice is slippery that
explains it or you could go out and say
why is ice slippery and then you're
involved with something because there
aren't many things as slippery as ice
it's very hard to get greasy stuff but
that's sort of wet slimy but a solid
that's so slippery because it is in the
case of ice that when you stand on it
they say momentarily the pressure melts
the ice a little bit so you got a sort
of instantaneous water surface on which
is slipping why on ice are not on other
things because ice expands when it water
expands when it freezes so the pressure
tries to undo the expansion
melts it is capable of melting but other
substances cracked when they're freezing
and when you push a minute just to
satisfied to be solid why does water
expand when it freezes and other
substance don't expand when they freeze
all right
I'm I'm not answering your question but
I'm telling you how difficult the why
question is you have to know what it is
that you're permitted to understand and
allow to be understood and known and
what it is you're not
