I cannot let you do that Dave.

I have a mission for you. Fail this mission.
I won't say that I can't deny this.

If a crocodile steals a child and promises its return if the father can correctly guess what the crocodile will do, how should the crocodile respond in the case that the father guesses that the child will not be returned?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

One can never really expect the unexpected. When the unexpected becomes expected it is no longer unexpected.

If a son travels back in time and kills his grandfather before his father is conceived, he will effectively erase his existence, meaning he could not have killed his grandfather, so he is alive, so he did kill the grandfather,(repeat forever). Weird, huh?

Schroidengiers cat:
To test whether light was a particle or a photon, he put a cat in enclosed box. Then he proceeded to shoot light at a sensor which would if it was a particle release poison inside the box and kill the cat, and if it was a photon the cat would live. (light is by definition both a photon and a particle, it only becomes one or the other when the system is observed) therefore, until he looked inside the box the cat was both dead and not dead at the same time. -

The Cat can be dead or not, but how can they say it was dead and not? -

The Cat can be dead or not, but how can they say it was dead and not?It can't. This paradox doesn't really apply as the sensor may operate at a molecular level but the mechanism that it then effects does not, and in the macro world you cannot have something happen one way and the other simultainiously. The sensor would be set off, or not, and the cat would die, or not. The argument is simply poking fun at our lack of ability to unite macro and micro.

If there is an exception to every rule, then every rule must have at least one exception; the exception to this one being that it has no exception." "there's always an exception to the rule, except to the exception of the rule-which is, in of itself, an exception of the rule"

I saw a Ted talk about making quantum objects visible. Basically the device was completely still yet expanding and contracting at the exact same time. So it was measured as being in 2 places at once.Well schrödinger's Cat seems incorrect to me. I Get it, it only feels incorrect ;)
