Fenno's paradox is the belief that people generally disapprove of the United States Congress as a whole, but support the congressmen from their own congressional districts. It is named after political scientist Richard Fenno, who discussed this in his 1978 book Home Style: House Members in Their Districts. Fenno discovered that congressmen would often run against Congress. "Fenno's paradox" has also been applied to areas other than politics including public schools. For example, U.S. citizens largely disapprove of the public school system, but tend to like the particular local schools their children attend. (Wikipedia).

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

This Math Theorem Proves that 1=1+1 | The Banach-Tarskis Paradox
Mathematicians are in nearly universal agreement that the strangest paradox in math is the Banach-Tarski paradox, in which you can split one ball into a finite number of pieces, then rearrange the pieces to get two balls of the same size. Interestingly, only a minority of mathematicians ha

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

Huffman Codes: An Information Theory Perspective
Huffman Codes are one of the most important discoveries in the field of data compression. When you first see them, they almost feel obvious in hindsight, mainly due to how simple and elegant the algorithm ends up being. But there's an underlying story of how they were discovered by Huffman
