Zeno's Race Course, Part 1
Thoughtful lecture notes for discussing this paradox, presented by S. Marc Cohen.
http://faculty.washington.edu/smcohen/320/zeno1.htm

Extractions: The Paradox Zeno argues that it is impossible for a runner to traverse a race course. His reason is that Physics Why is this a problem? Because the same argument can be made about half of the race course: it can be divided in half in the same way that the entire race course can be divided in half. And so can the half of the half of the half, and so on, ad infinitum So a crucial assumption that Zeno makes is that of infinite divisibility : the distance from the starting point ( S ) to the goal ( G ) can be divided into an infinite number of parts. How did Zeno mean to divide the race course? That is, which half of the race course Zeno mean to be dividing in half? Was he saying (a) that before you reach G , you must reach the point halfway from the halfway point to G ? This is the progressive version of the argument: the subdivisions are made on the right-hand side, the goal side, of the race-course. Or was he saying (b) that before you reach the halfway point, you must reach the point halfway from S to the halfway point? This is the
IToE (Impressionist Theory Of Everything) - The Role Of Paradox
The Impressionist Theory of Everything explores the concept that paradox is a natural mechanism in the universe responsible for a cycle that is not resolvable.
http://www.pathcom.com/~douggill/

Extractions: The Impressionist Theory of Everything (IToE) asks the question "what is infinity?" and explores the relationship of the observer to such a structure. The defining property of "infinity" is absolute self-reference for which the mechanism of closure is paradox. Paradox allows a self-referential structure to be closed absolutely. This study is interdisciplinary and based on a model that does not require advanced working knowledge in academics. Nevertheless, the inferences and conclusions of IToE are seen to apply at the boundary of our current understanding of the universe.

Jigsaw Paradox

http://www.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/~sillke/PUZZLES/jigsaw-paradox.html

Extractions: Bamboozlement is a term suggested by Greg Frederickson to describe plane dissections, followed by rearrangment of pieces that result in a figure of supposedly different area. This is Martin Gardner's modified version of Curry's paradox. An extensive history and explanations are given in [Martin Gardner, 1956]. See also [Frederickson, 1997]. The picture made Daniel Takacs. Alex Bogomolny made an applet Fibonacci Bamboozlement where you can shift the pieces for squares of Fibonacci number size. Given three numbers x , x , x in almost geometric progression which means that x x - x x is small. The following figure shows half of a x by x + x rectangle. Rearranging the four pieces gives a x + x by x rectangle. The area difference between the first and the second rectangle is The classical parameters given by Sam Loyd are (x , x , x , three consecutive Fibonacci numbers, in which case one rectangle is a square as x + x = x . Other transformations are given in the table below. Typically you find the note that this transformation can be made for arbitrary rectangles A*D and B*C if . But this is not true. [Lietzmann 1972] and [Devendran 1985] correctly say that we must have A+B=D in addition. I think my parametrization is more suitable for this dissection.

But you can grasp some of the key ideas from the multimedia modules ( click on menu above right ), which are about a minute each. To go further, see the Related Links (below), which give more complete explanations, at levels with ( ) or without mathematics ( Some animations require the Flash 7 Plugin . The multimedia modules have animations and film clips and are typically 2Mb. The much smaller HTML versions have only text and images.

The Birthday Paradox
The Birthday paradox. Philip J. Erdelsky. July 4, 2001 For this reason, the problem is often called the Birthday paradox.
http://efgh.com/math/birthday.htm

Extractions: Please e-mail comments, corrections and additions to the webmaster at pje@efgh.com A favorite problem in elementary probability and statistics courses is the Birthday Problem: What is the probability that at least two of N randomly selected people have the same birthday? (Same month and day, but not necessarily the same year.) A second part of the problem: How large must N be so that the probability is greater than 50 percent? The answer is 23, which strikes most people as unreasonably small. For this reason, the problem is often called the Birthday Paradox. Some sharpies recommend betting, at even money, that there are duplicate birthdays among any group of 23 or more people. Presumably, there are some ill-informed suckers who will accept the bet. The problem is usually simplified by assuming two things: Nobody was born on February 29. People's birthdays are equally distributed over the other 365 days of the year. One of the first things to notice about this problem is that it is much easier to solve the complementary problem: What is the probability that N randomly selected people have all different birthdays? We can write this as a recursive function: Obviously, for N = 1 the probability is 1. For N>1, the probability is the product of two probabilities:

http://www.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!"
