The human brain is one of the smartest on the planet. But there are some things we just can’t wrap our minds around. One of those is the paradox. We’ve evolved to think of reality in a specific way, but there are paradoxes out there that suggest reality doesn’t work the way we think it does. And now some physicists think they have solved a 50 year old paradox…but have they? Let’s find out!
Welcome to Space World. In today’s video we are going to talk some of the strangest paradoxes that keep scientists scratching their heads at night. So, if you want to know more about it then stay with us until the end of the video.
Humanity time and time again finds itself lost amid the vastness of a universe that we are still struggling to understand. There are many questions we ask ourselves when looking toward the heavens, but one of them always feels just outside of our grasp: Across all the billions of light-years of starry sky above us, could we possibly be the only life?
The Fermi Paradox refers to the dichotomy between the high probability that extraterrestrial intelligence exists and the fact that we have no evidence for such aliens.
This paradox was described by the late British science-fiction author, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, who said: "Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying."
In early versions of the grandfather paradox, some tried to argue that time travel was impossible on logical grounds, said Tim Maudlin, a philosopher at New York University, who frequently writes about physics and philosophy. "In a way, that's like asking why, right now, I can't be wet and completely dry," he said. "Well, that's just logically impossible. What are you asking about?"
But contradictions such as the grandfather paradox don't mean that time travel is impossible. The logical consistency of time travel largely depends on the concept of time, and physicists have many different ways of conceptualizing time. For example, if some laws of physics are considered probabilistic, rather than precisely determined, it opens the possibility of multiple outcomes from a trip back in time, some of which may not be contradictory.
But philosophers, scientists and fiction writers have dreamt up other versions of time, where it has more dimensions and features. Visualizations have taken the form of loops, circles, hourglasses, mobius strips, and cardboard tubes. There are also numerous, less serious, fictional accounts that nonetheless allow for the possibility of time travel, such as "Jeremy Bearimy."
