International Ask a Question Day

International Ask a Question Day is an international holiday to learn more about the world and provide answers to your questions. It is annually on March 14.

History

The details of the creation of Ask a Question Day are unknown. The purpose of this holiday is to rethink the way people approach asking questions. This is not an indicator of insufficient knowledge, so it is necessary to get rid of stereotypes. People who ask questions seem, in the eyes of others, to be curious, open to new information, and personalities who are always trying to get better.

Through questions and searching for answers, people have been able to go through all the steps of evolution. In the primitive era, people tried to learn about the world and understand many natural phenomena: why it rains, how to get fire, and more. As society evolved, the issues became more and more complex, so many discoveries by scientists became possible, laying the foundation for the development of science. For example, Newton wondered why apples always fall perpendicular to the ground. Through reflection in search of an answer to the question, he was able to discover the Universal Law of Gravitation.
