In the Abilene paradox, a group of people collectively decide on a course of action that is counter to the preferences of many or all of the individuals in the group. It involves a common breakdown of group communication in which each member mistakenly believes that their own preferences are counter to the group's and, therefore, does not raise objections, or even states support for an outcome they do not want. A common phrase relating to the Abilene paradox is a desire to not "rock the boat". This differs from groupthink in that the Abilene paradox is characterized by an inability to manage agreement. (Wikipedia).
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

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

Twins Paradox: The Complete Explanation
The twins paradox is easily the most famous paradoxes of all time. Using spacetime diagrams and the rules of relativity, we can show the paradox only happens because people are being lazy with special relativity. http://brilliant.org/ScienceAsylum ________________________________ VIDEO ANN
