60 Second Adventures
Six short animated segments, combined here into one video, each built around a single paradox or puzzle from philosophy and physics. Zeno's ancient problem opens the set: how can Achilles ever overtake a tortoise given a head start, if he must first close half the remaining distance, then half of that, forever? A time-travel segment works through the grandfather paradox, tracing what happens if a man kills his own grandfather before his parent is born. Another asks whether a machine can ever be truly called intelligent, and a fourth stages Hilbert's infinite hotel, a fully booked building with infinite rooms that somehow always has room for one more guest. Relativity gets its own segment on why speed through space slows the passage of time, and quantum mechanics closes the set with superposition, the claim that an unmeasured particle exists in every possible state at once. Each segment stays under a minute, using simple animation to walk through the logic rather than just stating the conclusion.
