Paradoxes to think of.
« on: October 25, 2003, 08:02:06 AM »
A child that is 6 years old is young, right? A child that is 6 weeks and 1 second is also young. So that means that a child that is 6 weeks and 2 seconds is also young(one second doesnt make the difference). Continiue this and you come to the conclusion that everyone is young, no matter what age.
Interesting indeed.

Any ideas to solve this one?

Well that is because "Young" and "old" are just words, words that define too things that don\'t actually exist scientificly... except i\'d say when yer cells stop dividing and you start dying.. then you are old..

Well I can change the paradox to something that is physical. Lets say you have stack of 10000 of stones. Now you take one of them away, the other 9999 are still a stack, right?

I\'m not going to waste a good ponder on such a vague theory.

I do, but umm...

No matter how many stones there are it\'d still be a stack, because a stack, is just a word... not an ammount...

Dude,. you don\'t get it.

If you are six years old, and your brother is six months old - you are still young.

Get it?
 You are six years old but you are considered young .

Oh and if you remove a stone from a stack - it\'s still a stack, but with one less.
Oh, how amazingly deep.

This is actually a real paradox. It is well known and has not yet been solved.
