Decision-making paradoxes | Mathematical paradoxes
In philosophy and mathematics, Newcomb's paradox, also known as Newcomb's problem, is a thought experiment involving a game between two players, one of whom is able to predict the future. Newcomb's paradox was created by William Newcomb of the University of California's Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. However, it was first analyzed in a philosophy paper by Robert Nozick in 1969 and appeared in the March 1973 issue of Scientific American, in Martin Gardner's "Mathematical Games". Today it is a much debated problem in the philosophical branch of decision theory. (Wikipedia).

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
