Are there any real, inherently unsolvable scientific problems which aren't both purely theoretical and designed to be unsolvable?

Ex: The Halting Problem.

I could solve it.

I don't know why I replied to a loling tripfag, let alone a tripfag. Never again.

Halting problem is the big one.

Others with real applications (or rather, others for which their undecidability walls us off from things that would be very useful could we do them) include the mortal matrix problem, rice's theorem, the various word problems, post correspondence theorem, hilbert's tenth, and some flight planning things.

It's simply just a wrong statement. It's like saying 3=4, it isn't a problem.
