Q9: Do you enjoy paradoxes?

I've always been intrigued by the apparent paradox of the dual nature of light. Behaving as both a particle and a wave, the behavior of light is a very interesting phenomenon. I remember first reading about Einstein and his Theory of Relativity as a young boy and being fascinated by it. Although I didn't completely understand it (as if I do now), there was still something about it that was completely mesmerizing.

Another example of a paradox that has made an impression on me pertains to the fifth dimension. The essence of the fifth dimension is that it smaller than an atom, yet all of the universe fits inside of it.

A paradox that exists as a play on words, or contains faulty logic, is annoying and a waste of energy for me. There are too many beautiful paradoxes to spark our imaginations and open unexplored worlds to our minds.
