Benardette's Paradox (Paradox of the Gods)
How far can a man walk if an infinity of gods intends to stop him?
| S - | Ep - | 1964// |
| - min | ||
A man walks a mile from a point. But there is an infinity of gods each of whom, unknown to the others, intends to obstruct him. One of them will raise a barrier to stop his further advance if he reaches the half-mile point, a second if he reaches the quarter-mile point, a third if he goes one-eighth of a mile, and so on ad infinitum. So he cannot even get started, because however short a distance he travels he will already have been stopped by a barrier. But in that case no barrier will rise, so that there is nothing to stop him setting off. He has been forced to stay where he is by the mere unfulfilled intentions of the gods. M.

Benford's Law
In lists of numbers from many real-life sources of data, the leading digit 1 occurs much more often than the others.
| S - | Ep - | 1938// |
| - min | ||
Benford's Law, also called the First-Digit Law, refers to the frequency distribution of digits in many (but not all) real-life sources of data. In this distribution, 1 occurs as the leading digit about 30% of the time, while larger digits occur in that position less frequently: 9 as the first digit less than 5% of the time. Benford's Law also concerns the expected distribution for digits beyond the first, which approach a uniform distribution. This result has been found to apply to a wide variety of data sets, including electricity bills, street addresses, stock prices, population numbers, death rates, lengths of rivers, physical and mathematical constants, and processes described by power laws (which are very common in nature). It tends to be most accurate when values are distributed across multiple orders of magnitude. The graph here shows Benford's Law for base 10. There is a generalization of the law to numbers expressed in other bases (for example, base 16), and also a generalization from leading 1 digit to leading n digits. It is named after physicist Frank Benford, who stated it in 1938,[1] although it had been previously stated by Simon Newcomb in 1881.

Bentley's Paradox
In a Newtonian universe, gravitation should pull all matter into a single point.
| S - | Ep - | |
| High | - min | |
Bentley's paradox is a cosmological paradox pointing to a problem occurring when Newton's theory of the gravitation is applied to cosmology: "According to Newton, each star in the universe ought to be attracted towards every other star. They should not remain motionless, at a constant distance from each other, but should all fall together to some central point. Newton admitted as much in a letter to Richard Bentley, a leading Cambridge philosopher of the time. The solution for this paradox is that, all the stars are not influenced by one gravitational force but there are many forces acting on the body, hence, forcing it to be either temporarily stationary, or to undergo very slight motion. The theory of Big Crunch suggests a similar thing, that the Universe will collapse by a bang at a point where all matter meets."

On September 3, 1933, Peter Standish, by dint of sheer will, travels 149 years to the past, to the year 1784. In the 18th Century, Peter slips into the form of his look-alike ancestor of the same name, Yankee Captain Peter Standish, who had just fought in the American Revolution under General Washington himself.

However, Peter has fallen in love with the Helen Pettigrew (Janet Munro), who returns the feelings. Peter travels back to his proper time, just before his engagement to Kate dissolves and he changes the future.
Berkson's Paradox (aka Berkson's Bias and Berkson's Fallacy)
Two independent events become conditionally dependent (negatively dependent) given that at least one of them occurs.
| S - | Ep - | 1946/06/ |
| - min | ||
Berkson's paradox or Berkson's fallacy is a result in conditional probability and statistics which is counterintuitive for some people, and hence a veridical paradox. It is a complicating factor arising in statistical tests of proportions. Specifically, it arises when there is an ascertainment bias inherent in a study design. It is often described in the fields of medical statistics or biostatistics, as in the original description of the problem by Joseph Berkson.
