Divine Paradox - Ageless Wisdom In Action - Meditation, Art, Sacred Tarot
Apply Tarot to everyday life meditate on multimedia Tarot a news navigator to help you learn to recognize the principles of Tarot in everyday events.
http://www.divineparadox.com

Extractions: Divine Paradox We live in a world of paradox, where things are seldom as they appear. We witness events or encounter evidence that doesn't make sense, or that seems contradictory, ugly, or painful. As a result, some become jaded realists, while others shut their eyes and escape into a private world of fantasy or despair. A few, however, somehow find a way to remain awake and engaged, and are able to reconcile and even redeem the inevitable contradictions and setbacks of life. Thus, they find a way to experience true peace, happiness, love, beauty and stability.
Carroll's Paradox (PRIME)
A paradox of Logic by Lewis Carroll, from the Platonic Realms Interactive Math Encyclopedia.
http://www.mathacademy.com/pr/prime/articles/carroll/index.asp

Extractions: n 1895, in the journal Mind , the Oxford logician and author of Alice in Wonderland , Lewis Carroll, published a playful dialogue between Achilles and the Tortoise which brought to light a central problem in logic as it was understood at the time. Specifically, he showed that merely having axioms rules of inference. In his dialogue (which is fully reproduced below), Carroll tackles the single most important rule of first-order logic, modus ponens, which says that if a statement P is assumed, and if the conditional statement P implies Q Q itself is a logical consequence and may therefore be considered proved. What Achilles learns, to his lasting regret, is that modus ponens must be first granted as a rule of inference, for otherwise no conclusion can ever be reached.
The Python Paradox
Hence what, for lack of a better name, I ll call the Python paradox if a And for programmers the paradox is even more pronounced the language to learn
http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html

Extractions: I didn't mean by this that Java programmers are dumb. I meant that Python programmers are smart. It's a lot of work to learn a new programming language. And people don't learn Python because it will get them a job; they learn it because they genuinely like to program and aren't satisfied with the languages they already know. Which makes them exactly the kind of programmers companies should want to hire. Hence what, for lack of a better name, I'll call the Python paradox: if a company chooses to write its software in a comparatively esoteric language, they'll be able to hire better programmers, because they'll attract only those who cared enough to learn it. And for programmers the paradox is even more pronounced: the language to learn, if you want to get a good job, is a language that people don't learn merely to get a job.

Parrondo Paradox
Attempt to spread a novel Cut The Knot! meme via the Web site of the Mathematical Association of America, Parrondo paradox.
http://www.cut-the-knot.org/ctk/Parrondo.shtml

Extractions: Doron Zeilberger on receiving the 1998 Leroy P. Steele Prize Parrondo's Paradox is a double shocker. Counter to common intuition, it is possible to mix two losing games into a winning combination. This is a good news. But do not rub your hands just yet. The theory does not apply to casino games. Learning about it all must be its own reward. On the positive side but shaky ground, Sandra Blakeslee reported last year in NY Times that Dr. Sergei Maslov from Brookhaven National Laboratory had shown that if an investor simultaneously shared capital between two losing stock portfolios, capital would increase rather than decrease. (On the downside, as of the time of writing, it was too early to apply his model to the real stock market because of its complexity.) Since the Paradox has been reported a couple of years ago, many real world and abstract examples has been thought up that make it more palatable. Indeed, monetary rewards apart, a combination of negative trends may lead to a positive outcome.
Zeno's Paradox Of The Tortoise And Achilles (PRIME)
An article in the Platonic Realms.
http://www.mathacademy.com/pr/prime/articles/zeno_tort/

Extractions: eno of Elea ( circa 450 b.c.) is credited with creating several famous paradoxes , but by far the best known is the paradox of the Tortoise and Achilles. (Achilles was the great Greek hero of Homer's The Illiad .) It has inspired many writers and thinkers through the ages, notably Lewis Carroll and Douglas Hofstadter, who also wrote dialogues involving the Tortoise and Achilles. Zeno's Paradox may be rephrased as follows. Suppose I wish to cross the room. First, of course, I must cover half the distance. Then, I must cover half the remaining distance. Then, I must cover half the remaining distance. Then I must cover half the remaining distance . . . and so on forever. The consequence is that I can never get to the other side of the room.
Bertrand's Paradox
Discourse on Bertrand s paradox. The Bertrand s paradox is one such discovery that made mathematicians wary of the whole notion of probability.
http://www.cut-the-knot.org/bertrand.shtml

Extractions: Username: Password: Theory of Probability (much as the rest of Mathematics) is actually a recent invention. And the development has not been smooth at all. The first attempts to formalize the calculus of probability were due to marquis de Laplace (1749-1827) who proposed to define the probability p(A) of an outcome A as the ratio of the number of events that result in the outcome A to the total number of possible events. This is of course only meaningful if the number of all possible events is finite and, in addition, all the events are equiprobable. The notion which Laplace has also defined. All elementary Probability courses depend on that definition. However note that the definition is, in a sense, circular - a notion of equi probable is defined prior to the introduction of probable. Thus, at the time, the field did not seem to have a sound foundation. Attempts to extend the definition to the case of infinite number of events led to even greater difficulties. The Bertrand's Paradox is one such discovery that made mathematicians wary of the whole notion of probability. Consider the following problem: Given a circle. Find the probability that a chord chosen at random be longer than the side of an inscribed equilateral triangle.
The Home Of Tired Light. Redshift The Hubble Constant, Cosmic Microwave Backgrou
The Hubble constant is a combination of the parameters of the electron and the planck constant.
http://www.lyndonashmore.com

Extractions: Welcome to the Home of Tired Light! New. Forum 'Big Bang Blasted'. Click logo for Bulletin Board Tired Light is an alternative theory to that of the expanding Universe. This theory explains the experimental evidence without resorting to the 'cosmological constants' or 'vacuum energy' that are essential to the theory of the expanding Universe. Experiment tells us that photons of light from distant galaxies have a longer wavelength on arrival than when they set off. Since red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, we say that they have been 'redshifted'. The Theory of the Expanding Universe explains this as space expanding and stretching the photons as it does so. In Tired Light we say that the photons lost energy during their journey to us by bumping into electrons on the way. The Tired Light Theory (that redshift is due to electron interaction) is supported by the fact that measured values of the Hubble constant, H are exactly equal to a combination of the parameters of the electron. This is known as 'Ashmore's Paradox'. If, in the expanding Universe, the expansion is not related to the electron then why is the Hubble constant found experimentally to be related to the electron?

Ask Dr. SETI: Hungarians And The Fermi Paradox
Find out if Hungarians are really descendants of Martians.
http://seti1.setileague.org/askdr/hungary.htm

Extractions: Physicist Enrico Fermi, said to be a firm believer in the existence of extra-terrestrials, was frustrated by the lack of firm evidence of their existence. Reasoning that advanced civilizations should by now have filled the Galaxy, Fermi came downstairs for lunch one afternoon at Los Alamos and blurted out his now-famous question, "Where are they?" "They are among us," it is reported that Hungarian-born physicist Leo Szilard responded, "but they call themselves Hungarians." Apparently, Szilard's comment had some cultural and historical basis. The following passage is from The Curve of Binding Energy by John McPhee (1973, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, pp. 104-105): So perhaps Szilard was trying to let his Italian-born colleague in on the secret. As it happens, I met with Teller recently, and can attest to the fact that he still has a thick Martian accent. He reminisced about Fermi's famous question, and when queried about Szilard's response, answered quite vehemently: "No! We're Martians!"
