Bertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random
The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...
متن کاملWhy we are not all novelists
In this chapter I consider one of the necessary conditions for being a novelist, the ability to open up and sustain a fictional world. My approach will draw from psychopathology, phenomenology and neuroscience. Using the phenomenological concept of “multiple realities,” I argue that the novelist is in some ways like and in some ways unlike someone who experiences delusions insofar as the noveli...
متن کاملWhy Not All Verbs Are Learned Equally
This paper investigates whether children learn all verbs with equal ease. Based on a longitudinal study of a Japanese-speaking child, I will demonstrate that the child has a bias toward intransitive verbs. Moreover, intransitive verbs that enter into the child’s early vocabulary tend to be verbs that denote motion with specific path or definable goal. It is claimed that a driving force for the ...
متن کاملThe Todaro Paradox Revisited
The Todaro Paradox Revisited The Todaro Paradox states that policies aimed at reducing urban unemployment are bound to backfire: they will raise rather than reduce urban unemployment. The aim of this paper is to reexamine this paradox in the context of efficiency wage and search-matching models. For that, we study a policy that consists in decreasing the urban unemployment benefit. In an effici...
متن کاملThe Feynman paradox revisited
We propose a simpler model in order to facilitate calculations of the Feynman paradox concerning the angular momentum of a static electromagnetic field. When an angular momentum is attached to the static electromagnetic field the paradox disappears. The storage of the angular momentum in the field during the assembling process is also analysed, It is well known that, for systems of particles sa...
