Most paradoxes either stem from the misunderstanding of a topic, or aren't really paradoxes. However, here is a paradox that seems to contradict logic itself. What's going on here? And what does the liar paradox have to do with computer science? #some2

What is Bertrand Russels Barber Paradox?
Logical paradoxes are some of the most infuriating and frustrating problems that we can try to solve. As humans, we always want to find an answer and we naturally assume that an answer must exist. In the case of Bertrand Russell's Barber Paradox, a solution does exist, but it becomes even

Newcomb's paradox | Famous Math Problems 7 | NJ Wildberger
Newcomb's paradox was first studied by American physicist William Newcomb, and popularized by articles by Robert Nozick and famously Martin Gardner in one of his 1974 Mathematical Games columns in Scientific American. The paradox involves notions of free will, determinism, choice, probabil

Set Theory (Part 2a): Russell's Paradox
Please feel free to leave comments/questions on the video below! In this video, I briefly speak about the Russell paradox and why ZFC avoids this paradox when discussing pathological sets. One should hopefully see why it is that this paradox is disastrous for the naive set theory adopted

Even More Paradoxical: The Twin Paradox in Curved Spacetime
The Twin Paradox gets a stranger, even more mind-bending upgrade in General Relativity's world of curved spacetime. We explore the surprising and relatively unknown results to these new scenarios, while getting our toes wet in some of GR's conceptual frameworks. And finally, after several

Relativity: how people get time dilation wrong
Einstein’s special theory of relativity is notorious for being easy to misuse, with the result that sometimes result in claims of paradoxes. When one digs more carefully into the theory, you find that no such paradoxes actually exist. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln describes a

Wittgensteinian Problem of Meaning & Rules
A clip of James Conant discussing a philosophical problem about meaning and rule-following that was famously discussed by the later Wittgenstein and many others, including various interpreters of Wittgenstein (e.g. Kripke). Note, Wittgenstein himself does not endorse the radical skeptical

Why Algebraic Data Types Are Important
Strong static typing detects a lot of bugs at compile time, so why would anyone prefer to program in JavaScript or Python? The main reason is that type systems can be extremely complex, often with byzantine typing rules (C++ comes to mind). This makes generic programming a truly dark art.
