      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

    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.

    • @_Nyuu_
      @_Nyuu_ 7 років тому +12

      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 )

      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 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?

    • @bad_uncle
      @bad_uncle 6 років тому +22

      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."

      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):

      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 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

      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

      ...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...

    • @Asmobia
      @Asmobia 3 роки тому +1

      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".

      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.

    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.

    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.

      "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.

      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.

    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.

      they are thought experiments that are free from limitations of the reality but still obey logic rules.

      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.

    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.

      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 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.

    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.)

    • @ShadowAge

      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)

      @NotAnotherKuromi 5 років тому +2

      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.

    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

    • @iceshadow207
      @iceshadow207 7 років тому +12

      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.

    • @AERIEDM
      @AERIEDM 7 років тому +2

      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.

      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...

    You have a banana and you drop it on the floor so you travel back in time to save yourself from dropping the banana. However, if you save your past self from dropping it, then you wouldn't travel back in time to save yourself from dropping the banana which you just did.

  • @unclecreepy4185
    @unclecreepy4185 Рік тому +1

    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?
