Paradoxes, Conundrums, and Unanswerable Questions

A paradox is a statement that is internally self-contradicting. A conundrum is a confusing or difficult question. An unanswerable question can be either a paradox or a conundrum, or something different. In this compilation of such questions, there are a couple that depend on the way we use language, like how much is a heap, and whether a hot dog is a sandwich. Some refer to fictional scenarios, like the transporter on Star Trek. But others, even though they are dressed up in absurd situations, present a bend in logic as we know it. Oh sure, you can explain a few things by assuming that someone is lying, which is anything but illogical. Or you can spend way too much time overthinking the question. Besides, it's already too late to not do drugs in the 1970s. Kelevin presents nine different paradoxes that may keep you up at night. Which one you choose to obsess on is up to you, or you can spent nine sleepless nights pondering each one. This video contains some NSFW language. -via the Awesomer
