We are also fairly sure we can form any number by adding two primes together. This is Goldbach’s Conjecture, set as a question in a letter written to Euler in 1742. It is still unproven! Euclid proved there are an infinite number of primes by using reductio ad absurdum. Imagine we have a complete list o

ime intervals then I may indeed reach it. On the other hand, some series never converge. I will never reach infinity how ever many steps I take. The Barber Paradox Now, for a slightly harder paradox, let’s suppose there is a town with just one barber. In this town, every man keeps himself clean-shaven b

d a route across the city that crosses each bridge once and once only. You can start anywhere, but no walking halfway over a bridge and no swimming! Euler discovered a rigorous mathematical proof that there can be no solution in 1735 after five hundred years of failure by other mathematicians. The answe

sh into itself? Does Crash halt if it runs with the input Crash? This creates a paradox; there is no solution which makes sense. It’s similar to the Barber Paradox of earlier. Since a paradox is created there must be a fault in our original theory. The error is the existence of Crash. Since Crash cannot
