This lecture is part of an online course on the Zermelo Fraenkel axioms of set theory. This lecture gives an overview of the axioms, describes the von Neumann hierarchy, and sketches several approaches to interpreting the axioms (Platonism, von Neumann hierarchy, multiverse, formalism, pra

Newcomb's paradox | Famous Math Problems 7 | NJ Wildberger
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

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

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

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

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
