Let's Think About Thought Experiments

Art by: Dennis Hoogstad

Thought experiments have been conducted for centuries by some of the greatest minds in history.

At first glance, these mental exercises seem to offer little in the way of practical application.

However, the very practice of considering the extreme propositions of these puzzles can inspire new questions that lead to novel discoveries that reveal and challenge how you think.

Some of the most famous thought experiments include:

  1. The Grandfather Paradox
  2. The Infinite Hotel
  3. Schrodinger's Cat

Let's make a stash of these ideas, starting with The Grandfather Paradox.
