Most of these are not paradoxes, merely questions that can be reasonably answered.

"Listen, Norman. Everything I say is a lie. Now, Norman...I am lying." "You say you are lying, but everything you say is a lie, so you are telling the truth; but, you cannot tell the truth so everything you say is a lie, so..." -- Star Trek: I, Mudd

#24 Newcomb's Paradox. You CLEARLY say at roughly 1:28 that, you have the option of taking ONE box or BOTH. So, How is there a paradox? Unless the person in charge of the boxes cheats. 1 contains a decent amount of $ so, If I take BOTH boxes, I've already won

[KathyPrendergast-cuci]

My favourite paradoxes are Blonde Paradoxes: eg., when you put bread into the toaster, where does it go, and where does the toast come from?

[SkBettty]

These are not paradoxes. They are questions/theories.

[willoughby]

I have a paradox for you...
"Out of sight, out of mind" vs "Absence makes the heart grow fonder".

[ebenthealien]

15:18 the ant paradox, I can explain. You have to account for the ants reality. It sees, as many animals do, at a different frame rate than us. It’s why certain animals can react so quickly, such as flies and dogs, for example. They literally see reality in slow motion, just like a high speed camera. Reality, from their perspective and scale is so different to ours. It’s interesting to research how different animals experience reality. Them reaching the end of this rope is comparable to us running across one of those flat airport escalators.

If Pinocchio said"My nose will grow right now!" what would happen??

[bobbyvee]

The first paradox is not a paradox. It's because the expansion of the universe is faster than the speed of light so the light from most of the stars will never reach us

[adammiller]

The “this sentence is false” type paradoxes are not paradoxes at all. A paradox relies on the apparent discrepancies in true statements. Anytime you bring a falsehood into the situation there is no paradox.

[theduder]

#25 In case anyone is interested, (it bothered me for many years), Hubble's Law resolves Olbers Paradox, thus providing a scientifically satisfying answer.

[ptrazzz]

Can’t we already explain why the night sky is dark even tho there’s plenty of stars? It’s like asking why doesn’t a lightbulb 20 feet away light up where you’re standing

[sparkyprojects]

#25, you only seelight when it hits something, like when it shines through a window and you see all that dust, the light from the starts is absorbed into the blackness

[SPAnComCat]

I find Mind-Bending Paradoxes to be Stimulating and Fascinating yet Confusing at the same Time!

This is why I Love your Videos, Mike!

[KathyPrendergast-cuci]

The first "paradox" doesn't seem all that paradoxical, to me. We get our light from our sun. All other suns in the universe - what we call stars - are millions of light years from our planet, much too far to illuminate our world, even though the light of some of them is close enough to be visible. When the light from our sun isn't being cast directly on whatever part of the planet we're on, it's dark; hence, "night".

6:52 the barber must have a guy that cuts his hair for him😂

[moganite]

the barber paradox has a solution the barber is a woman. The hydro static paradox isn't a paradox because the only important variable is the height of the water column.

[DivergentDroid]

Most of your paradoxes are NOT REAL Paradoxes. They impose unrealistic scenarios such as the barber not shaving himself to trick you for the riddle but a true paradox it is Not.

[marvac-r]

Such a fun list! 👏🏼😁
Some aren't paradoxes. #19, the True statement is actually, " *It is false* that I do not have a beard."
#18 Ol' Bert was having a bad thinking day. "Who shaves the barber?" uhhhh, anybody else who can handle a razor?? I'll shave him.
And #13, seriously?? If there's 1 floor above and 4 floors below, unless elevators are falling from heaven, thennn.... duh
Seems like #3 depends on which is heavier: potato or water.
But my fav, #20 (21🤭)! The ever-decreasing time lapses are like a fractal! 🤓 Heck, the sun would probably explode before you even got to 12:00, AND you'd be moving like the Flash. ⚡😄

I always enjoy List 25, but I have to say that this list was very enjoyable
