	2016-06-22: Planck's Constant and The Origin of Quantum Mechanics 00:38: Zeno's famous paradox tells us that it's impossible to overtake a tortoise. 01:05: There are a few problems with this paradox, but one is that it assumes that space is infinitely divisible. 00:38: Zeno's famous paradox tells us that it's impossible to overtake a tortoise.
	2016-05-18: Anti-gravity and the True Nature of Dark Energy 00:56: Paradoxically, our measurements points a near-perfect flatness.
	2016-01-27: The Origin of Matter and Time 10:14: So a lot of you independently realized that the time dilation of special relativity seems to generate a paradox. 10:40: This is a famous problem call the twin paradox. 10:54: The resolution is that there is no such thing as a paradox. 10:58: If you see an apparent paradox, it means that you're missing something.

	2015-11-05: Why Haven't We Found Alien Life? 00:43: ... Way so un "Star Warsy?" This genuine oddity is referred to as the Fermi paradox and the resolution for it has to be that there's some sort of great ...
	2015-10-07: The Speed of Light is NOT About Light 10:11: The universe is an infinitesimal here-and-now This is all pretty paradoxical. 10:19: However, the paradox itself tells us that an infinite speed limit is impossible. 10:11: The universe is an infinitesimal here-and-now This is all pretty paradoxical.
	2015-02-25: How Do You Measure the Size of the Universe? 05:50: ... real point of Fermi paradox is that colonization on a galactic scale could happen so quickly that if ...
