Extractions: Grandfather Paradox Time travel is impossible as exemplified by the famous grandfather paradox. Imagine you build a time machine. It is possible for you to travel back in time, meet your grandfather before he produces any children (i.e. your father/mother) and kill him. Thus, you would not have been born and the time machine would not have been built, a paradox. Perhaps the craziest of the time travel paradoxes was cooked up by Robert Heinlein in his classic short story "All You Zombies." A baby girl is mysteriously dropped off at an orphanage in Cleveland in 1945. "Jane" grows up lonely and dejected, not knowing who her parents are, until one day in 1963 she is strangely attracted to a drifter. She falls in love with him. But just when things are finally looking up for Jane, a series of disasters strike. First, she becomes pregnant by the drifter, who then disappears. Second, during the complicated delivery, doctors find that Jane has both sets of sex organs, and to save her life, they are forced to surgically convert "her" to a "him." Finally, a mysterious stranger kidnaps her baby from the delivery room. Reeling from these disasters, rejected by society, scorned by fate, "he" becomes a drunkard and drifter. Not only has Jane lost her parents and her lover, but he has lost his only child as well. Years later, in 1970, he stumbles into a lonely bar, called Pop's Place, and spills out his pathetic story to an elderly bartender. The sympathetic bartender offers the drifter the chance to avenge the stranger who left her pregnant and abandoned, on the condition that he join the "time travelers corps." Both of them enter a time machine, and the bartender drops off the drifter in 1963. The drifter is strangely attracted to a young orphan woman, who subsequently becomes pregnant.

Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Previous (Paradigm) Next (Paraffin) Robert Boyle 's self-flowing flask fills itself in this diagram, but perpetual motion machines cannot exist (according to our present understanding of physics). A paradox was originally something that was contrary to received or common opinion. The term paradox comes from the Greek para ("contrary to") and doxa ("opinion"). From that, the term came to be used for something that was contrary to, or contradicted, common sense. Today the term is usually used for something that is an apparently true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition. Sometimes either the statements in question do not really imply the contradiction and the puzzling result is not really a contradiction, or the premises themselves are not all really true, or cannot all be true together. The recognition of ambiguities, equivocations, and unstated assumptions underlying known paradoxes has sometimes led to significant advances in science
Einsteins Incompleteness Argument
Another site describing the EPR paradox.
http://roxanne.roxanne.org/epr/einstein1.html

Extractions: One of the first physicsts to be publically troubled by the philosophical interpretations of quantum mechanics was Albert Einstein. In 1935, he co-authored a paper which was intended to show that Quantum Mechanics could not be a complete theory of nature. The arguments in the EPR paper are very similar to ones which Einstein himself made in correspondences to friends, but are not exactly the same. The first thing to notice is that Einstein was not trying to disprove Quantum Mechanics in any way. In fact, he was well aware of its power to predict the outcomes of various experiments. What he was trying to show was that Quantum Mechanics could not be a complete theory of nature and that some other theory would have to be invoked in order to fully describe nature. The argument begins by assuming that there are two systems, A and B (which might be two free particles) , whose wavefunctions are known. Then, if A and B interact for a short period of time, one can determine the wavefunction which results after this interaction via the Schroedinger equation or some other Quantum Mechanical equation of state. Now, let us assume that A and B move far apart, so far apart that they can no longer interact in any fashion. In other words
Russell’s Paradox [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
by KC Klement 2005
http://www.iep.utm.edu/par-russ/

Extractions: all classes is itself a class, and so it seems to be in itself. The null or empty class, however, must not be a member of itself. However, suppose that we can form a class of all classes (or sets) that, like the null class, are not included in themselves. The paradox arises from asking the question of whether this class is in itself. It is if and only if it is not. The other form is a contradiction involving properties. Some properties seem to apply to themselves, while others do not. The property of being a property is itself a property, while the property of being a cat is not itself a cat. Consider the property that something has just in case it is a property (like that of being a cat ) that does not apply to itself. Does this property apply to itself? Once again, from either assumption, the opposite follows. The paradox was named after Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), who discovered it in 1901. History Possible Solutions to the Paradox of Properties Possible Solutions to the Paradox of Classes or Sets References and Further Reading Principles of Mathematics Principles was dedicated to discussing the contradiction, and an appendix was dedicated to the theory of types that Russell suggested as a solution.

One exhibiting inexplicable or contradictory aspects : "You have the paradox of a Celt being the smooth Oxonian" (Anthony Burgess). An assertion that is essentially self-contradictory, though based on a valid deduction from acceptable premises. A statement contrary to received opinion. [ Latin paradoxum, from Greek paradoxon, from neuter sing. of paradoxos, conflicting with expectation : para-, beyond; see PARA-1 + doxa, opinion (from dokein, to think...).] American Heritage Dictionary. It is my intention in this brief paper to raise what I consider to be some of the key questions in morphology today. In so doing, I will be anything but neutral, and perhaps even provocative, in the way I state them. If that is how I am perceived, I will have succeeded in my purpose, which is to arouse curiosity and stir debate. On many of them we have been floundering all too long; the time has come to face them head-on. The answers are not easy, and will not be found in this paper. At most, I will suggest a few avenues to explore. [This is the written version of a talk on morphology given as a guest lecture in Ling 615

Bertrand's Box Paradox - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
Article from Wikipedia describing this problem and its solution.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand's_box_paradox

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Bertrand's box paradox is a classic paradox of elementary probability theory . It was first posed by Joseph Bertrand in his Calcul des probabilités , published in 1889. There are three boxes: a box containing two gold coins, a box with two silver coins, and a box with one of each. After choosing a box at random and withdrawing one coin at random that happens to be a gold coin, it may seem that the probability that the remaining coin is gold has a probability of ; in fact, the probability is actually . Two problems that are logically equivalent are the Monty Hall problem and the Three Prisoners problem In a 1950 article, Warren Weaver introduced a simple way to conduct the experiment on people: the boxes are replaced by cards, and gold and silver coins are replaced by red and black markings, one marking placed on each of the two faces of each card. In what Martin Gardner has called the three-card swindle , a card is drawn from a hat, and if a red mark is shown, the dealer bets the victim even money that the other side is also red. The victim is convinced that the bet is fair, but the dealer makes money in the long run by winning of the time.

Abstract And Table Of Contents For "The Paradox Of Identity"
Report by William Greenberg. Argues for a Hegelian account of identity.
http://structuredindividuals.com/paradox/toc.html

Extractions: of I dentity Call a semantics for singular terms extensionalist if it embraces (1) and classical if it embraces (2). The meaning of a singular term is exhausted by its reference. The reference of a singular term is an entity that is logically simple. Call a semantics adequate if it distinguishes material identity (the identity of a and b ) and formal identity (the identity of a and a Frege reacts to the inadequacy of classical extensionalist semantics by rejecting (1). This he does without a sideways glance at (2), whose background ontology he implicitly accepts. In contrast, my account of the difference between material and formal identity replaces that background ontology, the so-called ontology of individuals van Heijenoort's term), with an ontology whose ground-level objects are ontologically differentiated and logically complex. The semantics I urge for singular terms, while extensionalist in the sense of (1), is thus a non-classical semantics in which singular terms take structured individuals, or complexes (as I will say)
Time Travel Paradoxes

http://www.friesian.com/paradox.htm

Extractions: Time Travel Paradoxes Robert Heinlein's 1941 story "By His Bootstraps" begins with the narrator writing in a philosophy thesis that time travel is impossible because time, in Immanuel Kant's terms, is only empirically real and does not exist independently among things in themselves. The narrator is then suddenly surprised to find two different versions of himself arriving from the future, with conflicting warnings and promises about what he can do. Traveling to the future, he meets an older man who repeats the promises, but whom he ends up distrusting. After some confusion, back in the present, he obtains some supplies and returns to the future to a period significantly earlier than when he would met the older man, intending to contest the future with him. Eventually, however, it turns out that he himself is the older man and his future is in fact, pace Immanuel Kant, secured. A paradox of time travel arises in relation to this story. The narrator does indeed set himself up "by his bootstraps" his present and future selves all interact with each other to produce the events. The paradoxical nature of this comes down to the case of a notebook that was provided to the narrator by the older man in the future. It contained a vocabulary of the language that was spoken by people in the future. The narrator learns the language and, as the book wears out over the years, copies it over into a notebook he had fetched from the present. This notebook, as it happens, is the very one he, as the older man, then provides to his other self. He is therefore the same person who both learns the knowledge from the notebook and put the knowledge into the notebook in the first place. The vocabulary as a certain list of items arranged in a certain way was thus complied by
