What is a paradox? How do you resolve them? Can they be resolved? This week Peter and Russell go through a number of popular paradoxes and try to figure out though a blend of humour and confusion if there is a way to solve them. Join us for another light hearted walk through the world of paradoxes and see if you come up with the same solutions.
This week the mysteries continue with Peter and Russell as they look at two famous unsolved conundrums. Grab your forensics kits and help us unravel the mystery of the Dyatlov Pass. Why would a group of experienced hikers abandon their tent in the middle of the night, ill prepared in the freezing cold? Or if you prefer, grab your code breaker and join us for a look into the Voynich Manuscript. Who wrote this 600 year old book and what language was it written in? What are they trying to tell us or even keep hidden from us? The Voynich manuscript has baffled Wold War II code breakers, linguists and even narrow AI. Go to archive.org and view the manuscript for yourself? Can you decode it?
