unascertainable
Impossible to determine
Unable to be determined or found out with certainty.
Something unascertainable lies beyond investigation or verification: The true number of casualties remains unascertainable.
Legal and technical contexts favor this term when facts cannot be established: damages that are unascertainable at the time of contract.
