Repository of problems worth solving

World Solve is a public institutional repository for identifying real unresolved problems across science, society, health, governance, economics, and local systems. Each entry is intended to be citable, inspectable, and actionable.

Publicly citable Every problem has a stable citation code for reference and discussion.
Filtered by relevance Search by category, geography, status, and keywords.
Builder-oriented Use the repository to find startup ideas, policy leads, and research agendas.

General relativity governs massive scale gravity while quantum mechanics governs atomic scales, but they break down together at black hole singularities. Developing a unified Theory of Quantum Gravity is the holy grail of theoretical physics.

Some inequality is often seen as a natural result of differing effort or luck, but there's no agreed threshold for when it becomes unjust. Different political philosophies answer this question in fundamentally incompatible ways.

If P equaled NP, countless hard problems in logistics, cryptography, and optimization could be solved efficiently, but most computer scientists suspect they can't. This remains the most famous open question in computer science.

Some mathematical truths may be true but fundamentally unprovable within any given formal system, a possibility raised by Gödel's work but not fully mapped out for all classes of statements. This unresolved boundary shapes the philosophy of computation.

While average behavior is well understood statistically, predicting the exact factor count for any specific number without direct calculation remains fundamentally elusive. This unresolved question touches the probabilistic side of number theory.

Physical pain, emotional distress, and existential anguish may all count as suffering, but it's unclear whether they deserve identical moral weight or should be treated as fundamentally different categories. This unresolved question complicates how we compare and prioritize different kinds of harm.

Some argue all intentional deception is equally wrong regardless of motive, while others believe compassionate lies deserve a fundamentally different ethical category. This unresolved tension remains central to debates on the ethics of honesty.

Competitive and cooperative instincts can pull people in opposite directions, and it's unclear whether a person or system can genuinely embody both without one undermining the other. This unresolved tension appears throughout economics, sports, and interpersonal relationships.

Consequentialist and deontological ethics offer fundamentally different answers, and thought experiments pitting them against each other rarely produce consensus. This tension underlies many real-world moral dilemmas.

Some philosophical traditions argue coming into existence carries a built-in risk of harm that non-existence avoids entirely, while most people intuitively value life as a good in itself. This unresolved debate underlies serious questions in population ethics.

Some argue outcomes matter most regardless of how they were achieved, while others believe the means used fundamentally taint the value of the result. This unresolved tension appears throughout debates in both personal ethics and public policy.
