DislikedPatience to Gain Knowledge through Study and Focus
[font=verdana][size=2][color=#333333]Many new traders believe all you need to profitably trade foreign currencies are charts, technical indicators and a small bankroll. Most of them blow up (lose all their money) within a few weeks or months; some are initially successful and it takes as long as a year before they blow up. A tiny minority with good money management skills, patience, and a market niche go on to be successful traders....Ignored
Once it is established that 2=1, it is easy to prove that any other pair of numbers are equal simply by multiplying and adding appropriate numbers to both sides of the equation.’

Square Paradox
Proofs’ like this always have a fallacy. The fallacy in this one is in the last step, when the (A-B) on both sides is cancelled. This is division by zero, which is illegal in mathematics. That’s a pity isn’t it I could have been a rich and famous man.
Zeno’s Paradoxes
Zeno’s most popular paradox runs something like this, suppose you want to cross the room, first you have to walk halfway across, then you have to cross half the remaining distance, then half the remaining distance, and so on. There are, eventually an infinite number of distances you have to cross to get across the room, and this is impossible to do in a finite time, therefore, all motion is impossible.
The resolution of this paradox does not require calculus, It is only necessary to point out that Zeno has assumed that the distance across the room is infinitely divisible, but not infinitely extended. Therefore the time required to cross it must also be infinitely divisible, and it is not required that the time be infinitely extended. Whether space or time are actually infinitely divisible may be a problem in modern physics, but that’s way over Poor old Zeno’s head.
The Lying Cretin
This and the following several paradoxes rely on headache inducing phenomenon known as self-reference. The Lying Cretin, like Zeno’s Paradoxes, comes to us from the Ancient Greeks. One version of the Lying Cretin paradox occurs in the Bible-
“One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Titus 1:12-13″

Starbucks paradox
The prophet in question was Epimenides, who said “all Cretins are liars” when he was being interrogated by Athenians. The problem here is that if what he says is true, then he, a Cretin, is always a liar, so what he says is therefore false. There must, in fact, be at least one Cretin who is not a liar. This is not quite a paradox, it is just an odd way to lie. The writer’s claim that “this witness is true”, cannot be correct. Lying Cretans: 1 – the Apostle Paul: 0.
The Barber Paradox
In a certain town lives a barber who has a peculiar rule by which he operates. The barber cuts the hair of everyone who doesn’t cut their own hair, and he doesn’t cut the hair of anyone who does cut their own hair. Who cuts the barber’s hair?
The resolution to this is that the barber is bald (Or he uses hair remover). Alternately, no barber can follow such a rule.
The Librarian Paradox
This one is a little tricky to follow; there is a chief librarian who is in charge of several libraries. He asks the librarians of each library to prepare for him, in book form, a catalogue of all of the books in their respective libraries. Each librarian is faced with a dilemma. Since the catalogue is a book, should it be included in the catalogue of books? Some decide yes, some decide no. When the chief librarian receives all of the catalogues, he divides them into two groups, those which list themselves, and those which don’t. There are many of each kind, and the chief librarian sets out to catalogue the catalogues.
He prepares one catalogue which lists all catalogues which list themselves. Another lists all catalogues which do not list themselves. Where is this last catalogue to be listed? If it does not list itself, then it really should, but if it does, then it really shouldn’t.
The resolution is simple; the librarian cannot make a catalogue according to the stated rule.
Newcomb’s Paradox
You are taking part in an experiment. In front of you on a table are two boxes, box A and box B. Box A is made of glass so you can see inside, and it contains £1000. Box B is opaque and contains either nothing or £1,000,000. You are

Paradox Sign
allowed to take either box B alone, or both box A and box B.
Here’s the catch, the people running the experiment claim to be able to predict with astounding accuracy which of the two options you will go for, and will have put the £1,000,000 in box B only if they predict that you will only take box B. If they think you will take both then they’ve left box B empty.
In the previous thousand experiments like this, their predictions about what the subject will do have been correct… so, what do you do? No, don’t run away.
One argument is that you’re just another subject, so if you take both boxes you get £1000, if you take just box B then you get £1,000,000. So take just box B.
On the other hand, either the money is sitting there in box B or it’s not, so whatever is in box B, taking both means you get £1,000 more than if you take just box B.
which box would you take?
Fermi’s Paradox
This Is a Very Well Known and common Paradox around the Internet and amongst alien conspiracists and organisations like SETI.
Fermi realized that any civilization with a little rocket technology and a small amount of expansion ambition could rapidly colonize the entire Galaxy. Within ten million years, every star system could be colonised. Ten million years may sound long, but in fact it’s quite short compared with the age of the Galaxy, which is roughly ten thousand million years. This doesn’t seem to have happened.
Fermi’s paradox asks, where are they?
Drake’s equation shows that the galaxy should be colonised and makes us ask Fermi’s question once again. The equation is usually written:
N = R* • fp • ne • fl • fi • fc • L
Don’t let all those symbols confuse you, Drake’s equation is just a lot of different factors to do with the number of alien civilisations and the different things that would affect them multiplied together. These “things” are listed below.
So Drake’s equation says there should be loads of aliens and Fermi’s paradox says well where are they Mr Drake??
