Scientists are intrigued by many paradoxes, some of which are deeply unsettling. For instance, the Fermi Paradox questions why, in a vast universe, we’ve detected no signs of extraterrestrial life. The Grandfather Paradox challenges our understanding of time travel: could one alter the past to prevent their existence? The Boltzmann Brain Paradox suggests that self-aware brains could randomly form in space, challenging our perception of reality. The Black Hole Information Paradox questions if information is truly lost in black holes. These and others like the Twin Paradox and Olbers’ Paradox force us to confront the limits of our understanding.
