Paradox as per the definition is a logically self-contradictory statement. As most is a comparative statement and we are not the one who decides the best we will list you out the few awesome paradoxes that will blow up your mind. So why wait? Let’s Start right away.
#1 THE BOOTSTRAP PARADOX
Ever wonder about time travel? well, a tough job to do. There are a lot of complications achieving time travels in the past and THE BOOTSTRAP PARADOX is one of them. THE BOOTSTRAP PARADOX Questions how something originated in the future placed in the past lose its existence in its first place. Seems confusing right? Well, it is. There is nothing much we could do. THE BOOTSTRAP PARADOX has been mentioned many times in different science fictions such as Doctor Who & Bill and Ted movies.
In other words, Imagine a person from the future buys a copy of HC Verma’s Concept of physics and take it 300 years back to gift his great Grand Father. How come the copy itself comes into existence is still a question.
Here is a clip of The Bootstrap Paradox in Doctor Who
#2 THE GRANDFATHER PARADOX
Here comes an another problem in Travelling to past i.e. the Grand Father Paradox. It is a potential & logical question to ask what If I go back to past & Kill my own grand father even before my Dad is born? Then how come I come into existence or my Dad?. What will happen to me? Will I disappear? & Lots of Lots of Question.
Well we found a very good explanatory video by Science ABC. Refer the below Video
#3 THE CARD PARADOX
Coming out of the time travel here is one paradox that is quite interesting. Invented by the British logician Philip Jourdain in the early 1900s, THE CARD PARADOX is a spin-off of the liar paradox. Imagine you have a Card with two notes on either side of the card. Similar to the image below.
As you can see, The first half says “The Statement on the other half is True” , While the other half declares the second one False. Trying to assign any conclusion to either Statement A or B is true, however, leads to a paradox.
#4 THE FERMI PARADOX
Named after Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, Who like us was curious about extraterrestrial Life. He truly believed that the sky is not the limit. THE FERMI PARADOX is basically a contradiction between lack of evidence of extraterrestrial life and high probabilities of the same. Why is it so? Are we alone or not capable enough to know about the higher beings.
There are billions of stars in the Milky Way similar to the Sun. If earth can evolve life why not other planets. There are billions of galaxies out there. Hope someday we found an “Foreigner” Friend of our travelling at warp speed to attend a birthday party here on earth. Woah! Exciting right? Well it is.
