[funny-pictures] 7 paradoxes we bet you can’t solve

 

1. Free will

If God is omnipotent and knows what we will do before he created us, how can we have free will?

ANSWER: This paradox is explained by God being outside of time–he knows the future just like he knows the past and the present. Just as the past does not interfere with our free will, neither does the future.


2. Crocodile Dilemma




A crocodile steals a son from his father, and promises to return the child if the father can correctly guess what the crocodile will do. What happens if the father guesses that the child will not be returned to him?

ANSWER: There is no solution. If the crocodile keeps the child, he violates his rule, as the father predicted correctly. If the crocodile returns the child, he still violates his rule as the father's prediction was wrong.

3. Grandfather paradox




A man goes back in time, and kills his grandfather before the grandmother can meet his grandmother. This means that one of the man's parents will not have been born, and the man in turn, will not have been born. This would mean that he could not have traveled back in time after all, which means the grandfather would still be alive, and the traveler would have been conceived allowing him to travel back in time and kill his grandfather.

ANSWER: The moment the time traveler changes something in the past, a parallel universe splits. This is supported by quantum mechanics.


4. Paradox of the heap




There are 1,000,000 grains of sand in a heap. If we remove one grain, it is still a heap. If we remove another grain, if it still a heap. If we continue removing one grain at a time, when we're left with one grain, is that still a heap?

ANSWER: Set a fixed boundary. If we said 10,000 grains of sand made a heap, then anything below it would not be a heap. Yet, it seems unreasonable to distinguish between 9,999 and 10,001 grains of sand. The solution can therefore be altered to say there is a fixed boundary, but they are not necessarily knowable.
