Not really. If there are two masters and two servants, that is called chain of command.
I didn't say there was two masters and servants...

It's not a paradox it makes them equals.

A man who can only ever lie, says that he lies. Thus making him a lier saying he lies, so he doesn't lie, but he was lieing when he said that so...

But you never specified there wasn't. And even if there was one of each, that's simply called Marriage. Husband and Wife are constantly slaves to each other and masters as well.

I have created an ever expanding material, the material doubles its mass every second.  I also make a machine which continually compresses all the atoms in an object to keep it the size of a sunflower seed.  What would happen?

If there was a person who had to do exactly what you said, what would happen if you told him/her to eat his/her own head?

I always mean the opposite of what I say.

I built a machine which can divide an object into the amount pieces defined by the operator.  I set it to 0 pieces.

It's opposite day.

Mass doesn't matter. It'll just become more and more dense.

One machine would keep whatever object the size of a seed while the material which you never stated putting into that machine will forever expand.

If there was a person who had to do exactly what you said, what would happen if you told him/her to eat his/her own head?
They would start eating it bite by bite and eventually die before they ever finish. Or simply take one bite and have successfully eaten their head. This is because you never state that they have to eat the whole head in one bite, nor do you state that they have to finish it.

Because you can't open something that hasn't been closed yet. Simple logic.

Simple, it either does absolutely nothing or eradicates the mass inside.

No, the space would be filled up by the resulting post which was by Inv3rted, so it isn't empty at all.

# What happens if you are in a car going the speed of light and you turn the headlights on?

Tricky, because light isn't an object, it technically doesn't have inertia, but, you are travelling the speed of light thus the lights would still remain infreont of you if your body mass could withstand the velocity and momentum.

If there is a door 10 feet away from you, and every time you walk to it, you go half the distance to the door ( First 5 feet, then 2.5, etc.) You would never reach the door.

Also, snot is the only person in the universe that can cancel out a Paradox.

turning a light off and on quickly always burns out the tungsten




I dont see this one. :c

Unless you're a super skinny little forget, then you would eventually bump into it. Therefore, reaching it.

It's a pair o' docks.

We see by light reflecting off of something and if we are traveling at the speed of light, anything the light would normally reflect off of would never reach our eyes unless we were traveling towards the light being emitted. If we were the ones emitting the light, we'd never see it, but we'd see everything from the point of light to the dark spots that interrupt the light source in transit that we were traveling to.

If you have .9 repeating into infinity, then it would be infinitely accurate. But, mathematics says that .9 repeating actually equals 1. Therefore, .9 repeating, despite an infinitely small amount of difference between the two, actually equals 1, despite it being infinitely accurate.
so, .9 repeating must be an infinitely accurate .9, but also must be one.
You can imagine that mathematicians would be right, but I have never heard a real solution that definitively proves that .9->=1.

You would be a fine red mist on the back seat

No. If you walk half the distance, then half of the distance left, then half of the distance left, then half of the distance left, then half of the distance left, then...

It would get so small you would hardly move.

Also at the Joke : Woooosh

Ah, but you see:
5 feet + 2.5 feet + 1.25 feet + .625 feet + .3125 feet = 9 feet and 8 inches near the door

Like I said, you have to be really loving skinny to not touch that.
