Mike the Low Birth Weight one happened to an aunt who smoked during her pregnancy, my cousin was really low weight and spend some time in an incubator 😮. Today he is married with two kids 😊

the barber could burn his beard off ...wouldn't be shaving ....i win

[@user-fc1zs1wh9g]

the barber could pluck out each beard hair one by one ...its not shaving and would still not have face hair ...i win again

[@user-fc1zs1wh9g]

the "if this sentence is true" thing is so dumb you can just say its not true ...if you say "if" that implies a question so you would say no this is not true

[@TexasTimeLord]

You have my permission to drive my car, but you do not have permission to enter inside of it at all. Oooooo, paradox! And, no, putting it on a tow truck and driving away is not driving the car, it's driving a tow truck.

[@timjames2654]

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

[@rocklobstar5672]

Yeah I know right that's why I don't like this channel

[@user-fc1zs1wh9g]

the barber could burn his beard off ..it wouldn't be shaving and he would still not have any hair on his face ...i win

[@user-fc1zs1wh9g]

or pluck out each hair one by one still not shaving but would still not have face hair ...i win again

"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

[@BluBlu777]

TOS Oh yes! 😁

[@Fido-vm9zi]

It's an irrelevant question & doesn't make sense.

[@marvac-r7916]

🖖🏼

[@MaxG5-Editz]

Another paradox : Pinocchio is known for his long nose, which grows when he lies. But what if he said my nose is about to grow 🤥

[@MaxG5-Editz]

​@@Fido-vm9ziit does just use your brain

[@idonotexist2619]

#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

[@Unknown17]

Yeah, that one made no sense to me, either.

[@Sk8Bettty]

These are not paradoxes. They are questions/theories.

[@adammiller4389]

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.

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

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?

[@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

[@Dingodown]

Space

[@ptrazzz]

@@Dingodown yeah..

[@ungenbunyon5548]

Theres nothing to be "lit" up

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

Yes, it doesn't seem like a paradox to me. The sky is what it is; the sky in the daytime just appears "light" to us because of the illumination from our sun. Once our part of the planet turns away from that light source, it appears "dark". But it's just a visual illusion, in the same way colour is an illusion that exists only when something is seen in the light. And every star is many light years too far away from us to illuminate our world in the slightest.

[@MichaelC-to7uz]

😂😂😂

[@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.

[@TheMichaelMonroeDoctrine]

Who died and made you the paradox police

[@Fierysaint1]

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

[@brianarbenz1329]

😊👌

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

Thanks, now that's going to keep me awake at night!

[@Beeros72272]

His body takes a screen shot

[@MichaelC-to7uz]

😂😂😂

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

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".

[@willoughby1888]

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

[@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

[@Fierysaint1]

That's a good one. Very interesting. In the Bible God says "I am the light..." And we also can't see God.

[@azknightwolf2552]

The reason you can't see God is that he doesn't exist. He is merely a myth, like Zeus and Jupiter.@@Fierysaint1

[@knurlgnar24]

It's more complicated than that. Dust is relatively rare as can bee seen when peering at distant universes. Dust or absorption/scattering cannot be the reason and this is well established. The solution lies in understanding that the observable universe is much smaller than what would be required to turn the sky white.

[@Fierysaint1]

Good point, but more specifically, according to the Bible the physical world is a reflection of the spiritual world, which tell me light is symbolic of God and reflective of his nature of showing the truth, but not specifically God.@@ClassicalGuitaristWannabe

[@Fierysaint1]

It isn't just mankind making sense of things. God created the universe for the purpose to gives us messages with the seen physical world. This is why Jesus Christ constantly spoke in parables. Because God speaks to us in parables. And God didn't create evil, God can't lie. But He created Lucifer and mankind who has the free will to work with God and nature, or to rebel and manipulate it for self serving reasons. A penis is for a vagina for creation of life and all evidence tells you this, but you can stick it in a butt or a toaster, but I wouldn't advise it. Might be consequences. All in the world that is good is a reflection of God, angels, and Heaven. Bad things a physical reflection of Satan, demons, and Hell. We live in a world of opposites in case you haven't noticed. People gotta open their eyes. Spiritual eyes. But sadly, some people deliberately blind themselves. @@ClassicalGuitaristWannabe

[@theduder2617]

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

[@tonyfloyd7666]

Usually, your content is interesting. Now, I'm just waiting on a paradox.

[@DartJedi]

The Elevator Paradox is all in elevator protocol, like a token ring protocol, very logical and not hard to understand. Tea leaf is thermal dynamics related. There can not be heat death until the the laws of motion break, meaning all life stops, then heat dies. I would like to see the study on the Low Birth Weight paradox as someone that is familiar with this topic and the March of Dimes and their work.

[@kelielli]

Ive never been the first viewer. But glad that the first time is with List! 😊

[@faemike55]

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

[@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.

[@richardkolstad7936]

Many of these listed are not really paradoxes. Unless the meaning has changed.

[@OldManMontgomery]

Oblers' paradox is well known and explained by the expansion of the universe. Been known since I was - a long time ago.

[@Ggzz19733]

Bro needs to learn what the word paradox means

[@eriksilk114]

Hydrostatic paradox. Equal pressure pushing down. No matter shape or size of container. Water takes up empty space but will stay same level. Just like lakes water attached. One lakes bigger. But same height as the other attached lake

[@stephenoliver442]

Olber's Paradox is explained by the expanding universe.

[@julianaylor4351]

And what Hubble and the JWST have found.

[@DaniXXX18]

Can somebody explain how Newcomb’s is a paradox? The “one box or both?” If you choose both boxes, wouldn’t you get at least one box of money?

[@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!

[@susanrobinson910]

I must be really tired, because I am only a couple of minutes in and I am confused beyond belief! 😂

[@kylekirkparick426]

No shrodingers cat? I wanted to hear the one about a hotel with infinite rooms, where an infinite number of people show up as well. This was interesting to watch, but the last one makes a lot of sense with the illustration that you used. I get why someone might assume the pressure is different but my first thought was that they'd be the same specifically because of the drawing.

[@piperjaycie]

They are all in previous videos so no point repeating them here.

[@terryp.luvsjenifer.winklem1314]

Awesome

[@moganite5168]

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.

[@nicholasharvey1232]

14:48 I've seen the ant on a rubber rope used as an analogy for the movement of galaxies in an expanding universe. As the rope stretches, the ant is moved forward, both by the stretching of the rope and the ant walking under its own volition. So the ant does get closer and closer to the end of the rope. Likewise, the galaxies are moving apart due to both their own momentum from the Big Bang, and the expansion of the universe i.e. the space between them. There will come a point in the future where the galaxies are so far apart that it will be impossible to see any other galaxies outside the one you are in, because their light can never reach you; the galaxies have reached the "end of the rope" aka the edge of your observable universe.

[@brendawalters3728]

Is it possible that instead of stress being the cause of productivity, it's procrastination? or procrastination is what caused the stress. Many people who procrastinate often get very productive when they know time is running out.

[@McCoy62]

Great, now I have a headache AND I feel totally stupid! It's a good thing this is my favorite channel and Mike's my favorite host! ❤

[@list25]

Why thank you! And...sorry

[@annettejones7777]

22. It's because humans always think they can fix the situation by adapting to fit. However, that is when it becomes unbearable. We aren't comfortable if we can't be our true selves. Plus trying to force yourself into a mold is self-abuse. 3. Mike: Who knew potatoes could be so complicated? Me: The Irish.

[@joebaker478]

About the heat death paradox we don't know if the universe is fluctuating and can't know because we haven't existed long enough to know anything about the universe.

[@richardharepax123]

For number 20 there would be 27 balls in the jar. Number 19 describes the governor of my state

[@Ant-je5vu]

No sir it would be infinite number of balls (pause) technically bc, in theory, you wouldn’t ever reach noon going half the time as the previous. But at the same time it doesn’t make sense bc according to the paradox, you HAVE to reach a set point which is noon. Problem is ill formed

[@friendsofood-kindmediaprod4757]

The bootstrap paradox is my personal favorite

[@isabelstockton6106]

Thinking I should come back tomorrow when I'm more awake

[@eriksilk114]

The coin does rotate one time. Just depends how you look at it. It starts with the bottom of the coin. Rotates opposite and now the top of the coin is in contact. Like gears

[@jonasendres3209]

The outcomes paradox is easy to explain. In our modern society there are jjust too many triggers... in more poor countries they also help each other much more

[@nicklasbentsen404]

the one that really got me. the last Tuesday paradox. we talking lost sleep and headaches

[@scottj9765]

I heard Stephen Hawking used to say any black holes a goal

[@dawnhall8432]

Thank you, Mike, for reading us another awesome list. ❤😊❤ I could listen to you all day. 😊❤😊

[@Glen-qh5xq]

My favorite paradox is Xeno's. If there is an infinite amount of points on a line between two points (Pythagoras) then motion is impossible. You can't cross an infinite number of points.

[@brianarbenz1329]

Leonard McCoy and Beverly Crusher are the Star Trek pair o’ docs.

[@popman1966]

The stars are a reflection of the and there is not enough illumination coming off the stars to light up the vacuum of space

[@jayb9897]

So with the Lair paradox if a false statement is false but true so would a true statement be true but false. In reality all statements are both true and false equally, or are they?

[@julianaylor4351]

In I Dream Of Jeanie, Tony astronaut married the genie. The bottle was her home, and hers.

[@mattlaw2248]

lol after watching your video it is entertaining, your funny, easy to figure out so true

[@marvac-r7916]

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. ⚡😄

[@FlyerHigher]

1:45 this one sounds like a twist on the Monty Python paradox with 3 doors.

[@joannewilson1162]

These are cool…a little mind boggling but very cool

[@anthonyprice1743]

Number 20 he goes "we should grab a bunch of bawwlzz 🥜 & try it out ourselves" 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😝🤣

Please pretty please do the ross-littlewood paradox... that would be so cool...

[@Rebelscca]

If List25 uploaded a video that is not a 25 point list video, are they still List25

I experienced Paradox 22. I ignored stomach pain until it was too much, and almost died of appendicitis. So yeah, that wasn't fun.

[@FisherOfMen705]

I think there's a Mike paradox

[@TheBlindDyslexic]

There are times when I don't know whether the people I know are Real people or just Differing parts of my Own psyche.

[@duncanfeyd4056]

Can....the rules paradox be used in court?.....

[@julianaylor4351]

The waiting time paradox, is actually made worse in London England, because our bus timetables on our bus stops are not what they appear to be. I once overheard two bus drivers, so I now know they are a rounded down 1950s estimate. To make things worse, our bus electronic destinations boards, can be incorrect, due to cancellations. Our buses also tend to hunt in packs and get turned around early in bad traffic. Some routes are worse than others. Where's your waiting time paradox now? For Londoners it more like wait and get a convoy of buses. 😆

[@brianclark3079]

Why does Side Projects have so many more likes when they are on the same website at the same time ? That's as much of a Paradox as these examples. I like the guy but there is no elaboration or description as to why they are Paradoxes. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@Zhixalom]

Happy to see that the Fermi paradox isn't in there... Because you know, the most paradoxical about it, is that people believe it to be a paradox. When it isn't really a paradox at all. It is rather just a poorly defined thought experiment, composed of an undefinable number of undefinable variables. In the sense that, since people can neither agree on the values of, nor the amount of these variables, that really makes it a conundrum, and then by definition also makes it a complete waste of time even remotely pondering about. - Some people may claim that when we do find alien life out there, then we will finally have solved the Fermi paradox, which is also a false assumption. It just means further eliminating the reason for its existence, as if that wasn't an oxymoron² in on itself.

[@arlenewright-ib4rq]

Wait a minute how many wishes do you get with the genie? if you get multiple wishes just use one of these wishes to wish the next person follows the rules and buys it from you. If it's only one wish you get then wish the next person you see is a billionaire and they buy the bottle cheap but tip u a couple mil. But what happens if the person donates the bottle to charity? You can't go any cheaper than free

[@eriksilk114]

What happens when the imp in the bottle becomes a penny?

The list 25 paradox

[@ChrstphreCampbell]

There are no paradoxes. Anything that seems like a paradox is simply an instance of one’s failure to use logic & reasoning properly. The easiest solution to any apparent paradox is to merely allow that some statements are gibberish, even if The seem reasonable.
