What Is A Paradox

Most people think of paradoxes as unanswerable, contradictory questions deliberately designed to confuse you for no good reason. But theyre actually a lot more complex than that; some paradoxes can be answered even if they seem impossible, and others are obviously but it may take thousands of years of human experience and the invention of calculus to prove why. Join Kevin, some action figures, three envelopes and a whole lot of whiteboard doodles as you discover the three types of paradoxes: Veridical, Falsidical and Antinomy, and why each one plays a unique role in how we process the world around us including finally learning how theres a mathematical explanation for why you should always switch doors in Monty Halls classic game show.
