AFTG & scientific ideas/paradoxes i connect them with no elaboration
Originally this post was going to be all scientific laws & then I remembered the Irresistible Paradox & went down a paradox rabbit hole. I simply think about how 90% of scientif law/theory/paradox is deeply poetic.
Firstly, the Monsters (+Jean) all apply to: Hedgehog's Dilemma (despite goodwill, intimacy cannot occur without substantial mutual harm) and I mean that with my full chest.
Neil: Newton's First Law of Motion (an object in motion will stay in motion) Bhartrhari's Paradox (the idea that something can be unnameable conflicts with the notion that it is named by calling it unnameable)
Andrew: (OBVIOUSLY) The Irresistible Paradox (an unmovable object meets an unstoppable force)
Aaron: Newton's Third Law of Motion (when two objects interact, they apply forces of equal magnitude in opposite directions)
Nicky: The Catch-22 (having a need for something that can never be acquired on the basis of needing it)
Kevin: Hess' Law (the total change of a complete course of a chemical reaction is independent of the sequence of steps taken)
Jean: Hagen-Poiseuille's Law (liquid left in a vacuum will always rise)
Renee: The Law of Microscopic Reversibility (any chemical reaction can be undone if given enough energy & time)
Jeremy: Olber's Paradox (why is the night sky dark if there's infinite amounts of bright stars covering it?)
Wymack: Yule-Simpson Effect (a trend that appears in a group of data will disappear when similar groups are combined, and reverse trends will begin to appear)
Honorable Mentions:
Ferme's Paradox (the probable existence of alien life despite the complete lack of concrete evidence) (Neil)
I also think ship of theseus is very Renee coded.
Jeaneil: The Conservation of Energy (isolated systems can be found to be symmetries in time) Andrew, Aaron, Nicky: The Prisoner's Dilemma (people might not cooperate despite it being in their best interest)
The Young Sun Paradox (the evidence of liquid water early on earth despite equal evidence that the sun should not have been able to melt the ice yet)
#lark says#aftg#all for the game#this is surely the ramblings of a lunatic#but do you see the vision#bhartrari's paradox because neil attempts to be unnoticable but to be so unnoticable is inherently noticable#jean is a low so low he can only go up#ie a liquid in a vacuum#the young sun paradox bc logically none of these character should have joy#but they find joy and belonging regardless#because human nature is that kindness perseveres#the hedgehog dilemma because literally every effort made causes harm & healing#also riko is chekovs gun but thats not a scientific theory thats literary theory#jeremy was so hard to cast bc he could be so many#honorable mention is hilbert's paradox of the grand hotel#aka that a hotel with infinite rooms can be declared full and still house more guests#usc
