Learn English – Word for a topic with an unreachable conclusion

adjectivessingle-word-requests

What would I call a topic or question with an unreachable (or almost so) conclusion? Example:

It is difficult to write a paper about the meaning of life because the topic is so _______.

or:

Political discussions at the Thanksgiving table are ________.

A similar term is a metaphysical question, but I am looking for a word/short phrase that more conveys the unlikelihood of coming to a definitive answer/conclusion. I searched Google and came up with nothing.

Best Answer

You can borrow the term for unsolvable mathematical problems which are said to be intractable

Not able to be solved (of a mathematical problem)
