The Painter's Paradox

In this video, we talk about the painter's paradox, that describes an object that can't be covered with paint but can be filled with paint. How is it possible to have an object with an infinite surface area but a finite volume? Doesn't it make sense that the outside of an object always tak

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

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

This Shape is a Paradox

Gabriel's Horn Paradox has a very interesting *spin* to it. The Gabriel's Horn volume is finite while Gabriel's Horn surface area is infinite! What can be done about this? This is sometimes known as the Gabriel's Horn painter's paradox It's time to have Gabriel's Horn explained. Let's do

What is a Symmetry?

Symmetries show up everywhere in physics. But what is a symmetry? While the symmetries of shapes can be interesting, a lot of times, we are more interested in symmetries of space or symmetries of spacetime. To describe these, we need to build "invariants" which give a mathematical represen

Visualizing the Infinite Gift and Computing its Measurements #math #manim #paradox

In this animation, we show an approximation of the mathematical object colloquially referred to as the "infinite gift." This gift is somewhat paradoxical in nature because it is infinitely long and requires an infinite amount of wrapping paper to cover, yet it only encloses a finite area.
