Braess's paradox

Braess's paradox is the observation that adding one or more roads to a road network can slow down overall traffic flow through it. The paradox was discovered by the German mathematician Dietrich Braess in 1968. The paradox may have analogies in electrical power grids and biological systems. It has been suggested that, in theory, the improvement of a malfunctioning network could be accomplished by removing certain parts of it. The paradox has been used to explain instances of improved traffic flow when existing major roads are closed. (Wikipedia).

How Closing Roads Could Speed Up Traffic - The Braess Paradox

The Braess Paradox is an unexpected result from network theory. It states that adding capacity could actually slow down the speed of the network. Applied to highways, the Braess Paradox means the existence of some roads slows down traffic, or that closing some roads could speed up traffic.

How to Solve the Liar Paradox

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
