Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
This one. THIS ONE is the real paradox.

"To be honest, I'm a liar."
Jeld Rowenz ohhhhh
Jeld Rowenz omg 😱
Why
My brain is melting
If you’re saying the truth that you’re a liar, are you a truth teller? But if you’re lying about that, are you a truth teller, or a liar?? AHHHHH
This video legitimately pisses me off
Why
This is a shitty vid
Me too
Mybe it has something to do with u being a gay furry
Why ?
If Pinocchio says "my nose will now grow", and his nose grows, is he lying or telling the truth?
it has never been said that his nose can only grow if he tells a lie
According to the information you've given, he was telling the truth, because you never established if he said his nose would grow when he's telling the truth or lying.
Actualy this has 2 outcomes and both are correct, who decides when "now" starts? if he finished the word now before his nose grew he's lying. If it grew while saying now he's telling the truth. Since we don't get those details. Both outcomes could be correct
ok....you do know Pinocchio is not real

"This. Sentence. Is. False!"
"Don't think about it, Don't think about it, Don't think about it."
don't....think about it
What I thought about, is that the way you typed it makes it 4 sentences not one. In turn it's a phrase not a sentence but the phrase claims it is a sentence, but it's not. It's 4. That's a completely different paradox.
sad that no one gets the portal 2 reference here

Here's a paradox, I don't know if someone invented this already but I'd call it "The Business Paradox". Here's how it goes imagine a world called reality where every job requires experience, to get experience you'd need a job but to get a job you need experience. How the hell will one get a job?
school, training, etc.
Internships?
In his world he clearly stated that to get experience you needed a "job" not "internships, ..." so you cannot gain experience with those things according to the information given.
ZIPMusic it is the best answer but it is illogical such a word exist like that. So it defies logic.
ZIPMusic you gave that definition of a paradox, not me
The twin paradox is not a paradox. The assumption is that the twin in the ship stays in an inertial reference frame, if that were true, it would be a paradox. But he doesn't, his reference frame changes direction and cannot do so instantaneously.
Zeno's paradox is also not a paradox. Realizing that an infinite amount of terms can add up to some discrete number resolves this.
The crocodile paradox is the same logical paradox as "This sentence is false." We were cheated out of a paradox!
Friendship paradox is also not a paradox!
The raven paradox is also not a paradox.
How is the Twin Earth 'paradox' a paradox? Same word, different meanings: no paradox.
I feel let down by this video.
becasue it's easy to go on goole an type in "paradox" and then use the first best forumpost as a sourcerefference ^^
who even puts time in videos anymore ??????????? 0.o
---------------------------------------------------------------
to add to that
the grandfather paradox isn't a paradox either ( well not anymore )
a russion called "novikov" already set a rule to it ( a long time ago ) called the "novikov self concinstency principle"
which pretty much forces you to not be able to change things that would prevent your action to take place in the first place
now this principle is used in the game "quantum break" ( cause they did do some research )
basically.. ( from quantum break's example )
when you are 12, you see your best friend fall off a roof and die ( you assume he jumped in suicide ) right in front of you
30 years later you get the option to timetravel
as messed up as you are over losing your best friend you decide to go back to that day and run up the stairs to the roof to safe him
( however, if you would do so, then he will not die and you will not be heartbroken over it giving you no reason to go back and therefor you can't exist, creating a paradox -- right ?? )
no,
with novikov's rule you would run up the stairs trying to save your friend and as you reach the top he get's scared by you and in effect falls of the roof, ( as an accident ) which kills him and convices your younger self that he suicided effectively closing the circle
aka no paradox here :)
you simply can not do that which would increment you
no matter what the circle rounds itself somehow in ways you couldn't forsee on beforehand :)
( novikov did some real thinking there )
------------------
the same applies to granddad or "hitler"
you will be allowd to go back to the day you wish to kill them
you will arrive at that day
however
as soon as you try to kill them something you were formerly unaware of will intervene at the time in the past that safeguards their life
no matter what
it's only in retrospect that you will get understanding of the true events that transpired that day
in retrospect you will then know that an attempt was made on let's say grandads life that day but a random bird flew into the asailants ( your ) eye and he ( you ) missed his gunshot ( or something )
and granddad was so shocked over it he NEVER mentioned this to anyone so you simply never knew about it ( until you actually are there commiting - and failing at - it )
effectively completing the circle
----
this also stands on the perception of time
when timetravel is in play and you are the subject of it
then something that happened in what you concider the past isn't restricted to "the past", it can very well be your "future" ( something you don't know about yet )
so in order to even have timetravel paradoxes you would first need to determine what is future and what is past
and to anyone who is SUBJECT to timetravel, that becomes impossible
making a paradox in itself impossible ^^ ( again NSCP made sure of that )
( and sideliners can only use confirmed facts, they can't have paradoxes either )
same
I agree. especially the twin paradox. My understanding is that this was originally proposed as a paradox by people who did not understand Special Relativity, which cannot deal with the acceleration necessary for this "paradox" to occur. Einstein then solved the problem by developing General Relativity, which allows for acceleration, eliminating the paradox.
I was most annoyed by the crocodile paradox cause as you said it's the same as the first one. I agree with everything else you said too lol
Michael Taylor thank you!!!! Also the causal loop can be explained by the fact that multiple timelines can exist at any point. I really hate this guy, he has such promising titles for his videos but they always let me down :(
My paradox ---> Need money for college, need college for job, need job for money ?! Who the hell invented this system ?!
There was a time when parents put money away and called it a college fund. Nowadays, many are too poor or just won't help because they don't want to.
This is so true
That’s Capitalism for you
also the "credit paradox". to get credit you have to have credit history, but to get a credit history you need credit.
True
Narrator sounds like a watered down Morgan Freeman
what an interesting observation. 😂😂
Only like, 3 of these are legitimate paradoxes.
Mimi Kal agreed
He got the first one wrong its supposed to be
"This sentence is false"
"The last sentence is true"
Oce Gaming
Technically “this sentence is false.“ is enought to create a paradox.
Adding “the previous sentence is true.“ to the mix just highlights the allready existing paradox.
Absolutely correct, that was my reason to give the vid a fucking dislike
none of them are paradoxes. A paradox only shows that you don't see the full picture.
Just want to add to number 9, that over time all and every single atoms in your body gets replaced as well, so are you really you?
Omg wow
That's "Theseus' Paradox" isn't it?
that can't be true. if it is, my mind is blown and nothing else can ever re-blow it.
if you look like you and act like you, than yoy must be you
Your physical body no it's not the same you but since brain cells can't be replaced you (mentally) are still you. You are just not you physical.
My favorite paradox, only because it's so common and people never realize it's a paradox, is the phrase, "Anything is possible."
If anything were possible, the possibility would exist for something to be impossible, negating the phrase itself.
Woww!! And why are there only a few likes on your comment?
the possibility of impossibility enforces the phrase
Bro that's a great paradox easily placable in top 5.
Omg
@@davidjones-vx9ju it would negate it because impossible and possible are opposites and paradoxes are phrases or ideas that contradict each other
Paradoxes it's just like:
You are like me.
I'm like you.
He is like me.
You are like a lion.
The lion is the boss.
Answer: We are the bosses!...
I think it's not a paradox. It's socratic method on presenting a valid argument where if a is b and b is c therefore a is c,or so-called transitive property of equality in mathematucs wherein a=b, b=c therefore a=c.
Number 3 will probably never happen.
Unless you got a Crocidile that 1.Can talk 2.has a sense of morality to even hear you out.
Thank you! Waiting for a comment on how dumb that one was!
its just the terms the paradox is presented with. replace the crocodile with a kidnapper if you want realism.

I once came across the following paradox. A young man approaches a lawyer and asks, "May I apprentice with you?" The lawyer agrees and suggests a fee. The young man replies, "I can't afford to pay you now. Suppose we agree that I will pay you as soon as I win my first case in court." And they agree. Several years later, the lawyer says, "Our lessons are complete." To his surprise, his student replies," Thanks, but I've decided to become a rock musician instead of an attorney. He sues the student for tuition.
The attorney tells the judge, "If you decide that I am due the money, by your order he must pay me; if you decide that I am not due the money, then he wins his first case and by our contract, he must pay me."
The former student tells the judge, "If you decide that he is due the money, then by our contract I do not have to pay him because I haven't won my case. If you decide that he is not due the money, then by your order I owe him nothing."
How's that?
steven franklin you made my head spin, so good job.
Even though he won the case, the judge ruled that he didn't have to pay.
This is a good one. wouldnt the clause be under the pretenses of the student winning his first case as a lawyer? if he`s being taken to court as a rock musician then he wouldnt be liable to pay the tuition as because the student could hire a lawyer in his place?
Keith Pugh never was it stated that he had to be a lawyer
There is no paradox. Both the attorney and the student are saying the same thing, they are just taking opposite sides of the issue. If the judge decides in favor of the attorney, the former student loses the case, thus he is not contractually obliged to pay. This is a fact that the attorney omits from his summation. If the judge decides in favor of the student, he was won his first case, so he is contractually obligated to pay. The student, conveniently, omits this truth from his summation. Instead of being a paradox, this case is a sort of irony. Since a judge's obligation is usually to the law (in this case, a legal document in the form of a contract), the outcome of his ruling will have the opposite result in its execution. The final ruling might have been composed this way (in judge-speak, of course): "As to your claim that this former student of yours owes you money for services rendered, I find that you have failed to prove that the accused has breached the contract in any way nor has he fulfilled the qualifications that would require him to pay your fee. Therefore by means of the facts of this case, I must rule in favor of the accused. However, by doing so, you have now been given evidence you need to further your claim in the future. I encourage you to file your suit again at this court and you will win."

My favourite paradox is the pinnochio paradox
So pinnochio says "My nose will grow now"
If it dosen't grow he is lying so it does grow
But then that means he was telling the truth so I dosen't grow
*mind blown*
His nose will grow out and in forever, so yeah he basically put himself in a situation he can't get out of unless he cuts his nose off.
The nose will grow cause whether or not you are lying is independent of reality but on the information you have about reality. Pinnochio says my nose will grow now, not knowing whether or not it will grow. Like me saying my blind date is the hottest girl in the world, i think we can both agree that those statements are dishonest.
Chukwuemeka Dike yeah but you live in reality and pinochio is magical soooo....
What if it grows later?
xxChickenShizxx being wrong ≠ lying
Here’s another: the more you talk, the less I listen... amazing!
That's not a paradox, it's just reality.

0:03 "A paradox is a question or statement that completely goes agianst logic" That doesn't seem complete.
Yeah I found this definition off too, and start questioning the quality of the contents before they even came out
To make it complete we'll first have to define what logic is
@@rishabhroy7262 logic is basically what you believe as understandable thus making logic itself a paradox because everything is simotaniously logical yet illogical depending on who you ask.
It's a sentence that contradicts itself

Some of these aren't paradoxes. They're only hard if you don't have intelligence.
Agreed. For example the friend paradox is just a repercussion of averages in linked systems.
Last is no. Halo (tm) and a halo are two different concepts with the same name.
Al B I agree.

Sure they do. A paradox is a situation that follows the rules of a system which leads to a contradiction. The grandfather paradox is a prime example.

You sound very confident about an unknown subject. In the same way that electrons existed prior to the knowledge of electricity, time travel could very well be possible, but we don't yet know how to accomplish it.
And yes, though not relevant, strictly speaking if i created a world of green spoons and then logically came to a situation in which there was a contradiction, that would be a paradox. Your example just shows your lack of understanding (both because it is nonsensical and not a paradox).
If you would like real world examples of paradoxes, consider many of the paradoxes that arise from quantum mechanics (or other scientific subjects):
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paradoxes#Quantum_mechanics
#1 is hardly a paradox. Of course they're not referring to the same thing because, well, the two liquids are not the same thing. They may perform similar functions but they're chemically different.
Yea, my only mindblow in the video was: "Is anyone really considering it a paradox?".
then which 1 is the real water? h2o or xyz?
It's both real. Water is just the word we /them call it.
Just like all the other paradoxes, based on the failure of correctly define the problem with human words.

The twin "paradox" isn't a paradox.
Yup, just relativity.
LOL!!
It is just falisicty paradox
They also missed out the single important point. A “high speed” rocket will not do it. One twin needs to be traveling at a greater fraction of the speed of light than the other.
If the rocket twin takes a 6 month journey and circumvents half the orbit of the earth, that would indeed be a very high speed journey, but both twins would remain at exactly the same age.
You would actually get the same result if you travelled east around the world, it’s just with planes and trains the effect wouldn’t be very noticeable.
The video did not elaborate on this paradox. The “paradox” refers to its defiance of the concept of time; how one ages faster than the other. Therefore, similar to the “arrow paradox”, time is an illusion. It goes against the logic that us humans have developed as a universal understanding.
A group of loners is called a paradox

8. The twin paradox is taught in every beginning physics class on special relativity. The twist of the puzzle is that time dilation only applies to inertial frames. The act of one of the twins having to turn around makes their frame non-inertial and hence breaks the time dilation.

Enwoload1 nice way of putting it
half of these paradoxes disappear if you know about physics/quantum mechanics, the raven one is caused by people not knowing what grammar and syntax have to do with logic (saying all ravens are black is not the same as saying all black things are ravens) the friends one assumes that the person being asked is not an extrovert, and the water one is obvious, when they say water they are not referring to the same thing (H2O =/= XYZ), but the thing they are referring to has the same function(presumably).
You misunderstood the raven paradox. Its not that all black things are revens, its that all things that are not black are not ravens.
So by looking at a green apple I (very slightly) confirm that ravens are black.
then why go about on the inverse saying that everything that is not black is not a raven, clearly there are black things that are not ravens; crows, jackdaws, garbage bags, etc etc.
James Hunter But the paradox isnt about black things that are not ravens. It is about not black things which are not ravens. Looking at such a thing slightly confirms that ravens are black, even tho lets say an apple doesnt have anything with the raven to do.
the paradox may not be bout such things, but the logic paths that branch out from the grammar in the video would go on to say either crows are ravens because they are similar, or that crows are not black because they are not ravens. things that are easily avoidable if you can use grammar properly
James Hunter No.
All ravens are black hence
if a thing is not black that thing is not a raven.
That holds completely true. You are the one taking a faulty leap.
Saying that all non black things not being ravens implies that all black things are ravens doesn't hold true.
Many of these aren't paradoxes. They're just mind boggling
A paradox is basically an idea or event or object that contradicts itself, or it’s answer is a loop of thoughts, like for example, I made a paradox that I call “The lucky clover field paradox” stating that if you find somewhere a field full of lucky clovers, and the paradox begins
If a lucky clover is rare, but you found a field full of them, it makes them common, but if they’re common, then that means that not finding a lucky clover is rare, but we all know that not finding lucky clovers is common, meaning that lucky clovers are rare, and it keeps going
Hope this helps
That's what a Paradox is!
@@crisxian_g im six months late but if you could answer me this
Cant all paradoxes be broken down by taking the "ifs" or just aknowledge them as lies
Like in your example. If you do find enough of something that was supposed to be rare then that means it is not rare anymore
Does that means that there are not any real paradoxes?
Not exactly, see...
(Vsauce theme starts playing)
...a paradox is a theoretical situation in which the problem is solved but cancels itself out at the same time infinitely, and this will often cause people to have their minds boggled. If you take the “if” from the paradox, it won’t make sense because it’s a “self-answering-but-canceling-it’s-answer” question, and if you acknowledge them as lies, then there’s no point of the paradox, since it’s theoretical
Like I said, if something that is rare and is all in a certain place, then it’s not rare, but if that is not rare, then not finding it BECOMES rare, but if a field of rare stuff is common, then anywhere that’s not filled with rare stuff would be rare, but since there’s only 1 field of rare stuff and an indefinite observable universe without it, then it IS rare, and your mind is on a loop on a question that answers but cancels itself, hence...
...a paradox
The Fermi Paradox is one of my favorites, but as for the ones in the video, my favorite is the causal loop paradox-- the idea of creation without a starting point.. Infinity within natural numbers means never surpassing the whole number 1 because there are an infinite amount of decimal points to count.. It's wild.
Keep being awesome human race. More paradoxes, more science, more discoveries, more! World peace.
That's what I don't get as well. How can you reach a number if there is infinity between. To reach the number 1 you have to cross the very next to it, wich would be 0,999...endless. but you can't reach something that is endless

Nicholas Epsilon word plus other words explain other words .....word up
The Zeno one is stupid. When he says ‘at any instant’, you have to stop time to observe that instant. When you remove time, you remove motion. That’s why it is motionless. Sorry if my English is bad.
The essence of Zeno's paradox is "how could an object goes through infinite number of places/steps in a limited time, if we can't explain that, then movement is not possible".
For example, assuming you walk from A to B in 128 minutes:
At 64th minute, you are in a place between A and B, which we call it B_1.
At 32nd minute, you are in a place between A and B_1, which we call it B_2.
At 16th minute, you are in a place between A and B_2, which we call it B_3.
...
At 128/2^n minute, you are in a place between A and B_(n-1), which we call it B_n
In conclusion, in a limited time (128 minutes), you finished infinite steps and went through infinite places, how is it possible?
We all know we can't count all Real Numbers between 0 to 1, and we say a set of Real Numbers is a Uncountable Infinite Set. However when you move from A to B, you DID went through ALL places between A to B (assuming your movement is continuous -- you don't teleport), if you consider "being at location 3.2983774214 equals to counting the number of 3.2983774214", then you did count all real numbers between A and B in 128 minutes (you count it with your feet, not with your mouth), which is not possible, so Zeno believes "movement is not possible".

#1 is definitely not a paradox
Yes, it is! Tell me: is that sentence false or true?
Rodrigo Oliveira He meant the water one.
+Rodrigo Oliveira
The sentence is obsolete/a joke, it is neither true nor false, it simply states that it itself is incorrect, making it redundant. There is no need to put thought to it, since it means nothing due to lack of purpose mixed with the fact it cannot be true and it cannot be false. It is a lie, a joke, a redundancy, and generally an obsolete remark.
Message -> Says it is incorrect -> Is simply rendered obsolete and redundant.
There is no paradox, since there is no logical to be seen in the first place. However: Treat it as a real comment, rather than a lie, or an alike thing, and it can loop infinitely, as a paradox.
It's basically:
I see an apple as red, and you probably see the apple as red.
But is your red the same as my red?
But that's not a paradox, we're referring to the same thing, just in different ways.
I agree.But it's humourous that you put so much thought into writing a paragraph about something that you yourself stated "There is no need to put thought to...".
Here's another paradox:
Person One: Can God create a rock that He can't lift?
Person Two: Of course He can, He can do- oh heck...
Person One: He can do anything? Yeah. That creates a paradox. If He can do anything, He can create a rock that's extremely heavy. But He can do anything, so He'll be able to lift it. But if He can lift the rock, He can't create a rock He can't lift, which is something He can't do...
Person Two: O.O
Person Three: God can _choose_ to make such rock. Like, he can create the rock (one and only) which he _chooses_ to not to be able to lift.
So, there is no paradox if God is a sentient being capable of making meaningful choices (not a function of Universe or something other along this line).
dragonshift
The omnipotence (God) paradox is a fallacy because a paradox only exists within our laws, and an omnipotent being would be beyond such laws, causality etc.
he can do anything -- can he lift rocks that he is unable to lift? that's really the paradox
God doesn't exist, so this isn't even existent.
Hee hee, I started a comment war.
He is able to not lift the rock.
The twin paradox really isn't too complicated, I read it somewhere that gravity affects time, clocks were placed at different elevations, and the clock closer to ground was farther ahead then the clock at a higher elevation, so the same can be said for aging. I may be remembering it wrong, but that's basically what it was implying

So the more cheese you have,
The less cheese you have
TimTM Gets some cheese with no holes
TimTM firstly it depends on wether the ratio between the air volume and cheese volume is constant or not. if it is then BOTH the cheesr and the holes increase,if now then you can claim a cheese grows at any instant and be like"you see this air? it's part of the cheese now so the cheese grew"
Will Hollis true
Well no, because each slice of cheese does have a set volume that is cheese, and so you are getting more cheese, just less so than if it didn’t have holes. At no point are you removing cheese
Faulty logic doesn't make a paradox.
I actually understood the motion thing as a kid afraid of the dark. In moments of bravery, I would put my foot or hand off the side of the bed. Thinking something might grab it, I would quickly snatch it back under the blanket and feel good knowing I was safe once again. But at some point I realized that since that moment actually happened, there is a point in my history where my hand or foot is and always will be stuck there off the side of the bed waiting for something to grab it. o.0
For the grandfather's axe paradox here is a explanation, please correct me if anything seems wrong.
First of all, for something to be called an axe it needs to be made of 2 pieces [2 is just a small number to work with] the head, and the handle. We can label each of those parts A, or the original piece to your grandfather's axe (A+A=original axe/same object). With both of those coming together they form your grandfather's original axe. Once the handle breaks and you go to buy a new one, which can be labeled as B or not the original piece, you now have A+B=original axe/same object which is false because two different variables cannot have the same value. And once your head breaks and you get your new B piece, you now have B+B=A which is not true either. When you have two non-original pieces, that should equal a non original product.
Idk I just kind of thought of this in my room at night lol.
You are right, it isn't really complicated logic. This shouldn't be classified as a paradox just a misunderstanding of labels
There are a few solutions to the crocodile paradox-
1. The crocodile eats the mother. Remember, the crocodile never said he'd let *both* go. He only agreed to let the child go if the mother guesses correctly. Now that there is no longer a mother to return the child to, the crocodile is able to keep the child.
2. The crocodile bites off the child's legs. He then allows the child to attempt to crawl towards the mother before devouring him. In this case, the crocodile still keeps his promise of "returning" the child while also being able to devour him. After all, the crocodile never said how long the child could be reunited with his mother.
3. The crocodile eats them both. There is now neither a mother to return the child to, nor is there a child to return to his mother.
In other words, the crocodile could exploit any of these loopholes and still technically keep his promise.
The last one is stupid . Two people can be called Bob but they are not the same person.
James Lee I u have two different photos of bob are they not both bob?
Ron DeFrain what are you trying to say?
earth one water = H2O
earth two water = XYZ
H2O = XYZ?
just because something has the same name that does not mean they are the same thing
zhang Bill with the same logic if earth 2 is a replica of earth 1 and our h2o serves the same purpose as their xyz does it not make sense that they are the same object just named different?
If H2O and XYZ are build the exact same way at atom level, yes.
I don't see a paradox in this situation either. It's more like a lack of communication that occurs. Like the Bob example.
"Give me some water please" and you have no idea what water, the H20 or XYZ one.
The same for Bob "Bob, come to me please" and both Bobs show up, because they have no idea who you meant.

The paradoxes related to time travel can be solved by assuming that when ever someone changes something in past by using the Time Machine, it creates a new reality that is different from the one he belongs to.

i feel that this is stupid..
Lets approach it in reverse.
Let say I state "It is not opposite day". So it means it is NOT! it simply end there.
And also the statement "(It) is opposite day" is to vague. Because you refer the IT as "Today", then rephrasing the sentence will be: "Today is opposite day". Therefore it reverse phrase is "Today is not opposite day" which instantly kill the cycle or paradox. Also, "Today" negative form will be "not today" will give you the follow up question "When?".
But if you state it as "It is true that today is opposite day", then the reverse will be "It is False that Today is not opposite day". The paradox will be simply similar to the first paradox shown in the video.
1 is simple. It's one word, in two different languages, with two different meanings. They are not referring to the same thing, even though they might use it the same way.
Trent Jones ok but you're wrong
Juggled Lotus ? Except that he’s not? It’s the same word used by two groups to mean two different things. Both are water, but neither is the same thing, and that’s not a paradox, it’s just language.
Who said the language differs?
13shivan the video... it specifically states they each call a different liquid water. That’s a difference in language
AuraMaster the paradox states the difference is the word used. Nowhere is mentioned a difference in language. If you can't spot the difference I am deeply sorry...
For number 8, the reason the space travelling twin is younger is decided by this fact: the space travelling twin was the twin to undergo acceleration (exiting earth, doing whatever & turning around to come back). Meanwhile, the twin on earth was not going under the same magnitude of acceleration. As such - the space twin is younger.
Huh?
The grandfather paradox is exactly why time travel is impossible
Time paradoxes rely on two assumptions we cannot make. Time travel is possible, and time is linear.
they are thought experiments that are free from limitations of the reality but still obey logic rules.
also, this can be imagined if you try to treat time like some quantum network where every consequence is tied between pats and future by some string-force. so if you pull string in the past you will pull it in the future as well
if we loop back those strings it is obvious that it will be simply impossible to pull it in the same way as lifting yourself by your hair.
but fortunately there is a solution to that.
Pottasium Dichromate That's the most intelligent and logical statement I've come across in the entire time travel paradoxal arguements. New rule: if the question itself cannot be proven, then logic would indicate that a paradox will occur.
If moving backwards in time is possible, and any object has ever traveled backwards in time it would cause a change in time, from this we can either assume A) Time is not Linear, or B) If time is linear, everything that has happened always has, and everything that will happen always will; and there's nothing anything can do to change anything.
If that makes sense.
Pottasium Dichromate the thing is time is linear
Imperium Records prove it.
If the multiverse theory is true then there is a universe in which the multiverse theory had been proven wrong.
Tj Chapman Damn, that's pretty good
Andrew Poulsen Glad you think so.
Tj Chapman why would it be proven wrong in another universe I don't get it, sorry if this is a dumb question
The multiverse theory states that there is an infinite number of universes where any and every possibility of any and every event is happening, and disproving the multiverse theory is one possibility that could happen in any of those universes.
Andrew Poulsen aaaah ok thanks, didn't known the part where every possibility is happening, thanks for the explanation
1st Paradox can be solved by understanding, that the sentence written isn't subject to being true or false because then sentence itself has no context or cannot be connected to anything.
The last one is dumb. When I say "water" I refer to H2O, but when someone from Earth 2 says "water" they are referring to XYZ.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this video gave me cancer anyway.

But he/she thought himself/herself as a genius. That means he/she is not a genius. But he/she thought about that so he/she will think "I'm not a genius" meaning that he/she is a genius. And the cycle goes on and on.

Okay! Here we go
#10: The sentence is untrue, not in the sense that it is false, but in the sense that it isn't a true statement, because there's nothing true or false about it.
#9: Yes, it is now a different axe. Everything that made up the first axe is now gone, and that axe no longer exists. Is it still an axe? Yes, but it's not the same exact axe.
#8: Okay, this one is just stupid. Yes, they change, because time is distorted depending on different factors. I don't see what's so paradoxical about this one.
#7: My best guess is that the person who prevented his own existence would suddenly exist in a time where he was never born, but he would remain, simply because he exists in THAT moment and lives. Therefor, there's no way for him to just zap out or existence. Nobody would ever know where he/she came, but they would keep on living.
#6: This one is a littls tricky to me, but the arrow will always move if fired, so it's obvious that motion happens. It's just that whatever force that is acting upon the arrow is making it change position in every frame of existence we put in order for OUR version of time. So, motion on our plane of existence DOES exist, as does time.
#5: This one is dumb. First of all, we don't know that all ravens are black as a fact, at all. But even if they were, I don't see how that shows that everything that isn't black also isn't a raven, because "all ravens" are simply being described as being black, not that "all black things" are ravens.
#4: This is basically the same as the Grandfather Paradox. The script would basically pop into existence and continue to exist, regardless of if it was made or not, because it exists in the first place, even if it is only in that specific frame of time and not the time of its origin.
#3: Why would a crocodile steal a child without intending to keep it? Putting thag aside, if it DID intend to eat the child, it wouldn't have given the woman a chance to guess his intention in the first place, so it must have been with the intent of giving the child back. The woman, knowing this, would tell the crocodile that it intended to give the child back and would be correct. If the woman didn't realize this and assumed the crocodile intended to eat the child, it would unfortunately have to, regardless of what its intent had been.
#2: I don't see how this is a paradox. It's just a simple fact.
#1: No, they wouldn't be talking about the same thing when they say water, because H2O is different from XYZ. It may behave similarly and appear and act the same as our water to the people of Earth 2, but it wouldn't be OUR version of water, it would be THEIR version of water. If the two were actually composed of the same stuff, and the people of Earth 2 just called it XYZ for some reason, THEN we would be talking about the same thing, but not if the two or composed differently and just fulfill the same properties in accordance to each respective world.
Caleb Andrews whats your social media i can learn from you lol.
@Caleb
10. I agree. And if "This Sentence" was a trademark, but not the proper trademark in question, then "This Sentence" is false, is true.
9. Yep. It's still grandfather's axe. He owns it.
8. Since relativity doesn't exist (it has been disproved), I agree it is ridiculous. But even if you take it to be true, which twin is moving away from which twin? They are both travelling away from each other at an equal speed, according to their own time perspective. So the paradox does not hold true. They both age equally fast.
7. Agreed. But time doesn't actually exist either. So no time travel is possible.
6. This is a great thought experiment to disprove time. You cannot exist a fraction of a second before now, or a fraction of a second after now. If you reduce that fraction of a second by a factor of 10, you eventually end up with no present moment either. So actually, it's not only that time doesn't exist, but nothing exists at all.
5. Hempel has been disproved by your logic. There are albino ravens. Even if there weren't, we would have to check every single raven ever, and even then we can't say that all ravens will always be black. Then aristotelian logic is applied in reverse, by saying that all non-black things are not ravens, and therefore all black things are ravens!
4. Yep. See no. 7 and 6.
3. Love your reasoning!
2. It's a play on words. They miss out "good" friends, and just call all friends the same, even though we spend more time with certain friends.
1. Again, a play on words. The thought experiment can be run without imagining a parallel world. Imagine another country that has a different word for water. Are they really talking about the same thing? And then imagine a third country that has the same word, but it means something totally different. Are they talking about the same thing? No.
I liked your synopsis.
nicholas scott Time doesn't exist? What drugs are you on??
And can I have some...
I know you *think* time exists, and we have clever devices called clocks to "prove" it. But it doesn't really. You can't exist two minutes ago, and you can't exist two minutes from now. You can only exist right now.
Similarly, you can't exist two millionths of a second ago, nor can you exist two millionths of a second from now. (Nor have you ever existed then, either, because you would be in two or three places simultaneously).
If you keep dividing the fraction of time, you eventually get to a nothingness. There is only *right now*. You have never existed at any other time. Because there is no other time. Sure, it constantly changes, but it never moved from right now.

Here a paradox:
If you punch yourself and get hurt, does that mean you're strong or weak?
Strength and weakness cannot exist without something to compare to, so, if you are what you are comparing yourself to, then you are neither strong nor weak.
You’re also stupid for punching yourself
Cryptic us, I see what you did there.
Aaron Nicholson, I never said that I punched myself. Hence, you're the stupid one for jumping onto conclusions.
It is about how pain resistant your body is but if strength would be pain resistance it all depends on how much force you punch with. Usualy a weak normal 10% strength hit would hurt almost anywhere but being strong automaticly makes the punch harder.

Nobody goes to that restaurant; it's too crowded.
3:34 Motion is not an impossibility necessarily. Although, at each particular instant no movement is occurring, but it is these instances put together to symbolize motion. For example, if there was such a camera that could take a picture of a car moving at almost every instant possible, and a person compared one instant to the next instant happening, the person would probably see the car moving from one place to the next, which then they could infer that motion happened in between these two instances. If numbers are really infinite it's not possible to take an instant and get an instant right after the instant before, there's always an instant in between. (Correct me if I'm wrong somehow.)
there just is not a "smallest amount of time" since time can never actually stop completely there wont be an instant in which the car is not moving no matter how many pictures are taken per second (or any arbitrary amount of time)
I think you're right
#1 of course the "water" is NOT the same thing..

Sarah Golley I thought I was the only one with that idea
Identical twins are actually a more logical theoretical thought as is accounts for the knowledge we have so far of how everything is unique. The two identical worlds, compared to identical twins, are an unlikely anomaly to begin with as even when given the same ingredients, two results are never the same.
The set up doesn't account for nurture, nature of humans nor dumb luck. The chances that there would be an Einstein born on both planets, that they would both have the same items from space land on them, that they would experience the same weather, the same births, the same development, is all so ridiculously implausible that I am surprised people waste time contemplating it.
I quite like when in sci-fi time travel programmes it gives examples about how one tiny instance can completely change the fate of history. Given flawed, strongwilled, clumsy humans, I simply can not comprehend how both planets would be identical.

Thus, a paradox or a pair of ducks (?)
the grandfather paradox is easily explained, it implies that time is linear when in fact the only way time travel could work realistically is if the universe had a failsafe in place such as the many world's interpretation. that way you can't cause the fabric of the universe to tear after you take put your grandfather before he was your grandfather. you would just return to an altered timeline, but you will exist outside that timeline and therefor not be affected
Well, on what evidence would we base the assumption that there are multiple timelines? I mean, why complicate things even more?
For me the paradox is easily explained with another theory/concept. I think that the time *is* linear, and that all events happened in their own time and only then. So, for me, it would be impossible to go back in time and kill your grandfather, because you exist, which means that nobody killed him. You went back in time and something actually prevented you from killing him.
If we are in the year 2000 and you would go back in time to 1800, all your actions from 1800 would already be in effect in the year 2000, regardless of what you did in 1800 its effects are already visible.
To put it in another way, the year 2000 is shaped by all the events that took place until that point, including you traveling back to 1800. So, if you exist in the year 2000, it automatically means that you did not, for some reason, killed your ancestors. For the same reason it would be impossible to go back in time and kill Hitler, because Hitler committed suicide in '45, and since *that happened* it means that all the events up to that point, including you traveling back in time to kill him, failed to kill him.
Anyhow, this is just the way I see things, people much, much smarter than me tried to find a solution and failed, but for me this seems to be the most logical explanation.
Why would you exist outside the timeline when your effect is the one that created its existence?
I think when you time travel you go to an alternate dimension.
This is true.
You can travel back to kill your grandfather, but remember your timeline is individually yours. So when you travel back in time you're older when you arrive than when you left.
When you travel forward to the present you will not be where you left originally but you will be in an alternative reality. Like a parallel universe where not only did your Grandfather get killed but you have never been in this alternative reality before.
So, it is highly likely that nobody you recognise will know who you are.
You've basically slipped into another universe.
You're not describing time travel... you're describing "dimensional hopping". If you time travel you are effecting the causes of YOU. If your dimensional hopping you are effecting the causes of YOUR DOPPLEGANGER.

"All Cretans are liars", said Epimenides, the Cretan.
alleygh0st so whoever is him/her,he said that cretans are liars but he is Cretans.So basically he lied about that Cretans are liars.So he is a liar.WTF
If he lied then the proposition is true, as far as we know, so he said the truth as well.
Maybe he meant all cretins...
alleygh0st he just lied, there is no paradox
It's not a paradox no matter how you look at it. If he lied, then that doesn't necessarily mean that all Cretans are liars, just him. If he told the truth that means all Cretans are liars. You don't have to lie every single time you speak to be a liar, you can tell the truth sometimes. In fact it'd be extremely difficult to communicate with anyone if you were forced to lie every time you speak in order to fulfill the title: liar. Either way however it is an unavoidable resolution that Epimenides is a liar...
7 is similar to my friend's banana paradox.

People may call these paradoxes, but most of them weren’t. They’re just illogical statements or thought experiments, usually where the person asked to think about a problem doesn’t have all the information or is misled in to thinking a certain way.
Take a bug flying towards a car and getting hit by the windshield. The bug is traveling north but when it changes direction, it’s heading south. To represent this in a graph, traveling north would represent a positive number on the y-axis and traveling south would be a negative number on the y-axis. Which means at some point, the graph crosses the x-axis which represents a speed of 0. Therefore, when the bug hit the windshield, it came to a complete stop. But how did it stop if the windshield never stopped?
Say 3 people split a bill and each paid $10. The bill really was $25, but the person couldn’t figure out how to give 3 people $5 evenly. So instead the person lies and says the bill was $27 and gives each guy $1 back and he pockets $2 for himself. 3 x $9 = $27 plus the $2 in the guy’s pocket is $29. Where’s the extra $1?
Kinda disappointed in this list. There are a lot of WAY more interesting paradoxes than most of these. The Fermi Paradox is a good example.
